The results indicated that waste fill was present across the entire park. • Additional historical research indicated that the “Stonehurst Ave Dump” operated during the 1910s to 1923 and likely infilled the former Cave Creek • Waste material contains ash, cinders, glass, metal, brick and porcelain. • Samples from the playground sand and shallow soil in the north half of the site met provincial standards for parkland use; underlying waste fill exceeds for various metals and PAHs Laroche Park - Renewal Project - 25 July 2018 Parc Laroche - projet de renouvellement - 25 juillet 2018 Recommendations • The City is planning to implement a risk management program to isolate the underlying impacted fill across the park • Designed to prevent direct contact with the underlying fill using an approach referred to as ‘soil capping’. Involves placement of 0.5 m of clean imported soil placed over a geotextile fabric. • City will retain an environmental consultant to be on-site for the duration of the soil excavation and capping portion of the project. • A dust control plan and traffic management plan will be developed. • Site will be routinely inspected following completion to ensure integrity of soil cap.
