(Golder) was retained by Tartan Land Consultants Inc. c/o Barrett Co-tenancy (Tartan) to conduct a Phase One Environmental Site Assessment (Phase One ESA) of the property located west of Kelly Farm Drive, South of Leitrim Road and west of Fenton Road, in Ottawa, Ontario (herein after referred to as the “Site” or “Phase One Property”). At the time of the site reconnaissance, conducted on November 11, 2019, the Phase One Property consisted of a 17.7 hectare parcel of undeveloped land with no buildings or structures. It is understood that the Phase One Property is to be subdivided and developed with residential dwellings. The Phase One Property is owned by Tartan. The Phase One ESA was completed in accordance with O.Reg. 153/04 and included a review of available current and historical information, a site visit, an interview, evaluation of readily available information, and reporting, subject to the limitations outlined in Section 9.0 of this report. The Phase One Property is not considered an enhanced investigation property as defined by O.Reg. 153/04. Based on the information obtained and reviewed as part of this Phase One ESA, several potentially contaminating activities (PCA) were located within the Phase One Study area, however, none were located on the Phase One Property and none resulted in areas of potential environmental concern (APEC) identified for the Phase One Property. Accordingly, a Phase Two ESA is not required for the submission of a Record of Site Condition (RSC). Response to Golder’s request for information from the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks had not been received at the time of report preparation. 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 Phase One Property Information Golder Associates Ltd.
