Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment 2113 Carp Road, Ottawa, Ontario FINAL REPORT Prepared for David Traher Myers Automotive Group 1200 Baseline Road Ottawa, ON K2C 0A6 Project Number: 0CP-17-0160 May 8, 2017 Executive Summary McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers Ltd. (McIntosh Perry) was retained by Myers Automotive Group (Myers) to conduct a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the property located at 2113 Carp in the City of Ottawa, Ontario (the ‘Site’). The site consists primarily of a vacant vegetated field with a storage trailer, advertising sign, and minor wooded areas. The total area of the Site is approximately 1.87 hectares (ha). It is understood that Myers requires the Phase 1 ESA for due diligence purposes, prior to potentially purchasing the subject property, and in support of a potential Site Plan submission to the City of Ottawa in the future. During the site reconnaissance and when gathering background information, data was collected for both 2113 and 2125 Carp Road; the Phase 1 ESA covers findings for only 2113 Carp Road. The information gathered for 2125 Carp Road does not affect the outcome of the findings for the Phase 1 ESA. The Phase 1 ESA has been prepared in general accordance with the requirements of Ontario Regulation (O.Reg.) 153/04 - Records of Site Condition - Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act as amended by O.Reg.511/09. The Phase 1 ESA is also in general compliance with CSA Z768-01 (R 2006), and CHMC Standard 11 9907-02, 1993. The Phase 1 ESA study area includes all properties within 250 m of the subject Site. No potentially contaminating activities (PCAs) were identified on, in, or under the Phase 1 ESA property. Potentially contaminating activities (PCAs) in the Phase 1 ESA study area are as follows: 2125 Carp Road: o Fuel staining observed in the attached garage and storage shed o Exterior storage of empty fuel tanks from vehicles 2141 Carp Road – TSSA Expired Facility and 3 underground fuel storage tanks (USTs) 2145 Carp Road – Historic Fuel Storage Tanks (4 USTs), current gas station (tank listed for 2141 are likely on 2145 Carp Road) The fuel staining found in the storage shed and garage on the adjacent property do not represent an area of significant environmental concern for the subject property. Due to the separation distance and/or cross- gradient or downgradient location of these PCAs with respect to the Site, they are not considered to represent an environmental concern.
