The purpose of this Phase I – Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I – ESA) was to research the past and current use of the site and study area and to identify any environmental concerns with the potential to have impacted the subject property. The results of the historical research indicated that the subject properties were originally developed for residential purposes as early as the late 1950’s through the early 1960’s. The property addressed 1054 Hunt Club Road has been used for commercial purposes in addition to residential purposes since the 1970’s or 1980’s when it was purchased by McSweeny Construction. The site was purchased by the Bulsara family in 1998 and operated as Roofmaster since this time. Under the current ownership, the parcel addressed 1026 Hunt Club Road was leased to a tenant who operated a landscaping and snowblowing service. Otherwise, the property has been used for residential purposes. In 2004 and 2008, subsurface investigations were carried out on the Phase I Property by LRL. Based on the findings of the initial investigation, contaminants of potential concern were in compliance with the 2004 MOECC Table 3 standards. Analytical test results were also in compliance with the current 2011 MOECC Table 3 standards. Based on the findings of the 2008 investigation, hydrocarbon impacted soils were identified in the vicinity of a storage shed at 1026 Hunt Club road, under lease by the aforementioned landscaping contractor. In 2016, LRL supervised a soil remediation program, at which time approximately 30m 3 of impacted soil was removed from the property. Final confirmatory soil sampling determined that the soil beneath the Phase I Property was in compliance with the 2004 MOECC Table 3 standards applicable at the time as well as the current 2011 standards. The condition of the groundwater in the vicinity of the remedial excavation was not addressed at this time, therefore the area of the former remediation is considered to represent an APEC on the Phase I Property. Adjacent and neighbouring properties were historically used for residential purposes. No concerns were identified with the past use of the neighbouring lands. Report: PE3951-1 March 28, 2017 Page ii paterson group Phase I – Environmental Site Assessment Ottawa Kingston North Bay 1026 to 1054 Hunt Club Road Ottawa, Ontario At the time of the site visit, an active aboveground fuel storage tank (AST) was identified in the private garage at 1054 Hunt Club Road. The tag was not identified on the tank at the time of the inspection and the age of the tank could not be determined. The AST, which was nearly full at the time of the site visit, was in good condition with no visual or olfactory signs of leakage or staining on or around the AST. The AST is considered to represent an area of potential environmental concern (APEC) on the Phase I Property. It is also our understanding that former ASTs were previously located on the subject property at 1026 Hunt Club Road and 1040 Hunt Club Road. The historical ASTs are also considered to represent APECs on the Phase I Property. Fill material of unknown quality was imported to the Phase I Property in 2011 during the demolition of the former dwelling at 1026 Hunt Club Road. The fill material at this location should be assessed. Recommendations Based on the results of the Phase I ESA, it is our opinion that a Phase II- Environmental Site Assessment is required for the property. Based on the age of the subject structures (1950’s to 1960’s), there is the potential for hazardous building products, including asbestos and lead-based paint, to be present within each structure. It is our understanding that each of the buildings will be demolished prior to redevelopment of the Phase I Property. It is recommended that a Designated Substance Survey (DSS) be conducted for each of the dwellings prior to demolition, in accordance with Ontario Regulation 490/09. Report: PE3951-1 March 28, 2017 Page iii paterson group Phase I – Environmental Site Assessment Ottawa Kingston North Bay 1026 to 1054 Hunt Club Road Ottawa, Ontario 1.0 INTRODUCTION At the request of Claridge Homes, Paterson Group (Paterson) conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) for the properties addressed 1026 to 1054 Hunt Club Road, in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. The purpose of this Phase I ESA was to research the past and current use of the site and study area and to identify any environmental concerns with the potential to have impacted the subject property. Paterson was engaged to conduct this Phase I ESA by Mr. Neil Malhotra, who can be reached by telephone at 613-233-6030. This report has been prepared specifically and solely for the above noted project which is described herein. It contains all of our findings and results of the environmental conditions at this site. This Phase I-ESA report has been prepared in general accordance with Ontario Regulation 153/04 as amended by O.Reg. 269/11 (Environmental Protection Act), and also complies with the requirements of CSA Z768-01. The conclusions presented herein are based on information gathered from a limited historical review and field inspection program. The findings of the Phase I - ESA are based on a review of readily available geological, historical and regulatory information and a cursory review made at the time of the field assessment. The historical research relies on information supplied by others, such as, local, provincial and federal agencies and was limited within the scope-of-work, time and budget of the project herein.
