Qualified Person’s Statements and CertificationsAs the qualified person, I certify that:
A phase one environmental site assessment of the RSC property, which includes the evaluation of the information gathered from a records review, site reconnaissance, interviews, a report and any updates required, has been conducted in accordance with the regulation by or under the supervision of a qualified person as required by the regulation.
A phase two environmental site assessment of the RSC property, which includes the evaluation of the information gathered from planning and conducting a site investigation, a report, and any updates required, has been conducted in accordance with the regulation by or under the supervision of a qualified person as required by the regulation.
The information represents the site conditions at the sampling points at the time of sampling only and the conditions between and beyond the sampling points may vary.
As of 2015/03/18, in my opinion, based on the phase one environmental site assessment and the phase two environmental site assessment, and any confirmatory sampling, there is no evidence of any contaminants in the soil, ground water or sediment on, in or under the RSC property that would interfere with the type of property use to which the RSC property will be put, as specified in the RSC.
As of 2015/03/18, in my opinion, based on the phase one and phase two environmental site assessments, and any confirmatory sampling, which included the sampling and analysis of soil, it is not necessary to conduct sampling and analysis of ground water quality for the RSC property to make the certified statement set out in paragraph 3 of section 17 of Schedule A.
As of 2015/03/18, in my opinion, based on the phase one and phase two environmental site assessments and any confirmatory sampling, the RSC property meets the applicable full depth generic site condition standards prescribed by section 36 of the regulation for all contaminants prescribed by the regulation in relation to the type of property use for which this RSC is filed, except for those contaminants (if any) specified in this RSC at Table 2, Maximum Contaminant Concentrations Compared to Standards Specified in a Risk Assessment.
As of 2015/03/18, the maximum known concentration of each contaminant in soil, sediment and ground water at the RSC property for which sampling and analysis has been performed is specified in this RSC at Table 1, Maximum Contaminant Concentrations Compared to Applicable Site Condition Standards.
I am a qualified person and have the qualifications required by section 5 of the regulation.
I have in place an insurance policy that satisfies the requirements of section 7 of the regulation.
I acknowledge that the RSC will be submitted for filing in the Environmental Site Registry, that records of site condition that are filed in the Registry are available for examination by the public and that the Registry contains a notice advising users of the Registry who have dealings with any property to consider conducting their own due diligence with respect to the environmental condition of the property, in addition to reviewing information in the Registry.

Phase Two Conceptual Site Model MTE File No.: 31985-301 Temporary Road, Trillium Community Subdivision, Kitchener, ON April 2015
PHASE TWO CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL TEMPORARY ROAD, TRILLIUM COMMUNITY SUBDIVISION, KITCHENER, ON
A Phase Two Conceptual Site Model (CSM) has been prepared following Schedule E, Part V, Table 1, S6(x) of Regulation 153/04 (as amended). The Phase Two CSM addresses Site conditions as of the Certification Date of March 18, 2015. No Site remediation or Risk Assessment has been carried out and none are required. The Phase Two Conceptual Site Model is illustrated on Figures 1 through 5.
The Phase Two Property (also referred to as “the Site”) is approximately 514 square
metres (0.0514 ha) and represents a portion of a proposed residential lot at municipal
address 220 Apple Hill Crescent, which contains a temporary paved roadway.
There are no buildings, fences or other structures present on the Phase Two Property
and none have been removed in the past. The ground surface consisted asphalt which
was generally flat with a slight decline to the west. The Site is bounded by Apple Hill
Crescent to the west, Fischer Hallman Road to the east and a field which has been
cleared and graded for future residential development to the north and south.
Historical Summary and Physical Setting
Based on historical records, the first developed use of the Phase Two Property was the
mid-1940s, following the end to World War II, when the property was owned by Austin
G. Hewitt and Agnes Hewitt for agricultural use, which is a time period when synthetic
pesticides could have been available in Canada (as documented in Rachel Carson’s
Silent Spring (Carson, 1962)) and therefore could have been applied to agricultural
crops. There are no records to indicate that any buildings have ever been constructed
on the Phase Two Property. This was determined through aerial photos, Title Search
documents, interviews, engineering records obtained by MTE and research into
synthetic pesticide use in North America.
The Site is not adjacent to or within 30 metres of any water bodies, areas of natural
significance or drinking water wells. The nearest water body is a tributary of Schneider
Creek located approximately 700 meters east of the property. The closest municipal
wells are located within the Strasburg wellfield (K34 and K36) approximately 2.7 km to
the west of the Phase Two Property.

Phase Two Conceptual Site Model MTE File No.: 31985-301 Temporary Road, Trillium Community Subdivision, Kitchener, ON April 2015
MTE reviewed Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) online mapping and the
Official Plan of the Region of Waterloo, June 2009, for information regarding important
natural and cultural resources in the Study Area. The following pertinent information for
the Phase Two Property was noted:
• The Phase Two Property is not located within a regulated floodplain;
• There are no Wooded Area located within the Phase Two Study Area;
• There are no heritage features on or within 30 metres of the Phase Two Property;
• There are no wetlands on or within 30 metres of the Phase Two Property; and
• There are no Areas of Natural or Scientific Interest on or within 30 metres of the Phase Two Property.
i. (A) Potentially Contaminating Activities
MTE identified the following potentially contaminating activities (PCAs) at the Phase
Two Property which represent a potential environmental concern:
Potentially Contaminating Activity Basis
30. Importation of fill material of unknown quality
Imported fill associated with the construction of the temporary paved roadway.
40. Pesticides Bulk Storage and Large-Scale Applications
Possible pesticide use associated with historical farming operations.
Road salt for winter deicing of temporary roadway
Temporary roadway was ploughed and maintained during winter.
MTE identified the following potentially contaminating activities within the Phase Two
Study Area, which represent potential environmental concern to the property:
Potentially Contaminating Activity Basis
28. Gasoline and Associated Products Storage in Fixed Tanks
In 2014, two diesel ASTs were located in vicinity to a construction trailer south of the Phase Two Property. Two diesel ASTs associated with the farmstead were located northwest of the Phase Two Property.
40. Pesticides Bulk Storage and Large-Scale Applications
Possible pesticide use associated with historical farming operations.
The QPESA determined that the barn fire in 1955 to the northwest of the Phase Two
Property does not represent an environmental concern since that area has been fully
developed for residential use.

Notes: 1
Area of potential environmental concern (APEC) means the area on, in or under the Phase Two Property where
one or more contaminants are potentially present, as determined through the Phase One Environmental Site
Assessment, including through:
(a) identification of past or present uses on, in or under the phase two property, and
(b) identification of potentially contaminating activity.
APEC #1
Prior to construction of the temporary roadway, preliminary grading of the subdivision
was completed. This resulted in a portion of the Phase Two Property being excavated
and a portion being filled to achieve the required grade. Subsequently, the alignment of
the temporary paved road is visible from 2014 to present. Fill was imported to the Phase
Two Property during construction of the roadway which is of unknown quality (PCA
#30). Winter deicing salt would apply to the temporary roadway. The QPESA determined
that the limits of APEC 1 represent the entirety of the Phase Two Property.
APEC #2
Two diesel ASTs were located in vicinity to a construction trailer located south of the
Phase Two Property in 2014. Two diesel ASTs were located northwest of the Phase
Two Property. These ASTs (PCA #28) may have impacted the western portion of the
Phase Two Property.

APEC #3
The Phase Two Property was within a larger farmstead from as early as the mid-1940s
to 2012. Additionally, farmsteads were present at the surrounding properties from as
early as the mid-1940s to 2012. It is possible that organochlorine pesticides (PCA #40)
were applied to the Phase Two Property and adjacent properties during this time and
may have impacted any portion of the Phase Two Property.
During the Phase Two ESA, MTE commissioned the excavation of four (4) test trenches
to examine APECs and COPCs. The investigation was carried out in accordance with
the Sampling and Analysis Plan, and included the collection of soil duplicates.
The following soil samples were submitted for analysis from the Phase Two Property:
• PHC F1-F4 and BTEX (4 soil samples);
• OC Pesticides (2 soil samples);
• PAHs (1 soil sample);
• Metals and Hydrides (5 soil samples, including one duplicate);
• SAR and EC (4 soil samples); and
• Soil pH (3 soil samples)
Laboratory Certificates of Analysis from all soil samples submitted for analysis have
been received by MTE and are included in the Phase Two ESA report. The lab reports
meet the requirements of S.47 (2b) and (3) of Ontario Regulation 153/04 (as amended) and
are authorized for release by the lab managers.
The QA/QC results indicate that field sampling and lab protocols were satisfactory. No
samples have been rejected by the laboratory. No samples have been rejected by the
QPESA. The QPESA is satisfied that the overall objectives of the investigation were met
and that the data set has allowed appropriate decisions to be made regarding the
environmental conditions of the Site.
i. (C) Subsurface Structures and Utilities
No services are currently installed on the Phase Two Property. The presence of buried
utilities (hydro, water and sewers) along Apple Hill Crescent and Seabrook Drive are
unlikely to interact with groundwater based upon review of civil engineering drawings
and the depth to groundwater being greater than 3.7 metres (the maximum depth
explored during the Phase Two ESA investigation).

Phase Two Conceptual Site Model MTE File No.: 31985-301 Temporary Road, Trillium Community Subdivision, Kitchener, ON April 2015
ii. (A) Stratigraphy
Soil conditions encountered across the Site during this investigation typically included
engineered sand and gravel fill ranging from 0.45 to 1.2 metres underlain by native
sandy silt and/or silt to the maximum depth explored of 3.7 metres. Bedrock or
saturated conditions were not encountered. There were no noticeable odours or staining
in the soil to the depths explored and no evidence of buried waste, debris or deleterious
material was observed. No aquifers were encountered and none were investigated.
ii. (B) Hydrogeological Characteristics
Groundwater investigation was not completed as part of this Phase Two ESA.
The shallow groundwater flow direction is surmised to be easterly towards a tributary of
Schneider Creek, which is 700 m from the Phase Two Property.
The Strasburg wellfield consisting of production wells K34 and K36 is located
approximately 2.7 km to the west of the Phase Two Property. The Mannheim East
wellfield comprising production wells K21, K25 and K29 is located approximately 2.8
metres to the southeast of the Phase Two Property. The wells within the Strasburg
wellfield are screened at depths ranging from approximately 28 to 50 metres below
ground surface within Deep Overburden Aquifer. This is overlain by an extensive
confining to semi-confining aquitard unit consisting of the Maryhill and Catfish Creek Till
with the Shallow Overburden Aquifer identified at ground surface. The wells within the
Mannheim East wellfield are screened at depths ranging from approximately 30 to 52
metres below ground surface within Aquifer 1. This corresponds to the Shallow
Overburden aquifer and outcrops at various locations and is often separated into upper
and lower Aquifer systems through the presence of a discontinuous fine-grained
aquatard unit. Wells are generally screened below this aquatard unit, just above the
Maryhill Till (Lake Erie Source Protection Committee, 2012).
ii. (C) Approximate Depth to Bedrock
Bedrock was not encountered to the maximum depth of drilling of 3.7 m bgs. Based on
MOE well records for the Phase Two Study Area, the depth to bedrock is greater than
100 m bgs.

ii. (D) Approximate Depth to Water Table
Groundwater investigation was not completed as part of this Phase Two ESA.
Based on the previous geotechnical and hydrogeological investigations completed for a
larger land holding (inclusive of the Phase Two Property), groundwater in the area of
the Phase Two Property is typically between 5 and 10 metres.
ii. (E) Section 41 or 43.1 of Ontario Regulation 153/04 (as amended)
Investigations of the property have confirmed that more than 2 m of overburden is
present above bedrock; therefore, it is not a shallow soil condition. There are no surface
water bodies on or within 30 m of the property; therefore, it is not in proximity to a water
body. The property is not within 30 m of an area of natural significance and soil pH is
within the acceptable range; therefore, it is not considered to be a “Sensitive Site” under
Ontario Regulation 153/04 (as amended).
The Phase Two Property is not located within a designated Source Water Protection
Area; however groundwater in the Region of Waterloo is used for drinking water
purposes. The current use of the Phase Two Property is community. The proposed
future use of the Phase Two Property is residential. Accordingly, the analytical results
for all soil samples have been compared to Table 2 of the MOE Soil, Groundwater and
Sediment Standards for Use Under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act, April
15, 2011 for residential use and coarse textured soil. MOE 2011 Standards are based
on updated science and are protective of human health and ecosystems.
ii. (F) Soil Brought to the Phase Two Property
No soil has been brought to the property during the Phase Two ESA.
ii. (G) Proposed Buildings and Other Structures
The Phase Two Property is currently used as a temporary roadway, which is a
community land use. The proposed redevelopment of the Site is anticipated to be a
residential condominium; however no actual building drawings have been prepared at
this time.

iii-iv. Areas of Impact (Subparagraphs A-I)
The QPESA has determined that there were no parameters measured above the MOE
2011 Table 2 Standards in soil for the samples submitted for analysis. Therefore, the
QPESA has concluded there are no compounds at the Phase Two Property that are
considered Contaminants of Concern (COCs) in soil.
v. Contaminant Release Mechanisms, Transport, Receptors and Exposure
No Contaminants of Concern were identified on the Phase Two Property and
accordingly, no receptors or exposure pathways were considered.
