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.
As of 2014/05/06, no phase two environmental site assessment is required by the regulation for the RSC property and based on the phase one environmental site assessment for the RSC property, in my opinion, it is not necessary for any other reason to conduct a phase two environmental site assessment for the RSC property.
As of 2014/05/06, in my opinion, based on the phase one environmental site assessment, there is no evidence of any contaminants in the soil, ground water or sediment on, in or under the RSC property that, if the RSC property were put to any of the types of property uses listed in subsection 1 (2) of the regulation, are likely to interfere with any of those types of property uses.
I am a qualified person and have the qualifications required by section 5 of the regulation.

A rectangular building (present building) was evident in the northeast corner of the subject property in aerial photos from 1937 to 2013 also. According to the City of Kingston telephone directories, the subject property was listed as a residential property from 1935 to the 1960s; from 1965 to 2013, the subject property was listed as Cowan’s Food Market. Mortgages and agreements with the National Grocers Company Limited from 1955 to 1976 were identified on land title records.

6.0 REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF INFORMATION 6.1 Current and Past Uses One, three-storey mixed commercial and residential use building is situated in northeast corner of the property. A former grocery store (Cowan’s Food Market) operated in the main level of the subject building, and the upper two storeys are rented as an apartment. Past site use has been identified as residential and commercial. Refer to Table 1 in Appendix B for a table of current and past uses of the Phase I property. 6.2 Potentially Contaminating Activities Properties within a 250 metre radius historically consisted of residential, institutional and commercial use. Current and former commercial activities were identified east, west and northwest of the subject property.
ASC identified three commercial properties to the east, west and northwest as a potential source of subsurface contamination to the subject property. The property located approximately 50 metres west of the subject property (680 King Street West) has historically operated as a dry cleaning and laundry facility from the 1970s to 2010. The property is currently listed as a restaurant. Based on site redevelopment and given that underground services will likely act as potential receptors to subsurface contamination, the west adjacent property is presently a low environmental concern.
The property located approximately 80 metres east and down gradient of the subject property (634 King Street West) operated as a used automotive dealership and service station in the 1960s and 1970s. The property is currently vacant, and comprises part of the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour Park. Based on site redevelopment and given that the property is down gradient of the subject property, the property is presently a low environmental concern.
The property located approximately 225 metres northeast of the subject property (169 Yonge Street) has been listed an automotive repair / body shop since the 1960s. Based on site proximity and given that underground services will likely act as potential receptors to subsurface contamination, this is presently a low environmental concern.
6.3 Areas of Potential Environmental Concern The subject property is located in a primarily residential area in the City of Kingston with commercial storefronts along King Street West. Dense residential development is evident to the north, east and south of the subject property. Commercial sites that were identified to the east, west and northwest of the

subject property are a low environmental concern based on site redevelopment, site proximity and given that underground services will likely act as potential interceptor to subsurface contamination. We are of the opinion that the PCAs have not resulted in Areas of Potential Environmental Concern on the subject property. 6.4 Phase One Conceptual Site Model The rectangular subject property is located on the south side of King Street West, approximately 125 metres east of the intersection of King Street West and Union Street. The south property boundary is bound by King Street West and the south property boundary is bound by Grange Street. The subject property is approximately 0.13 hectares in area, including approximately 20 metres of frontage on King Street West and approximately 20 metres of frontage on Grange Street. One, three-storey mixed commercial and residential use building is situated in northeast corner of the property. A former grocery store (Cowan’s Food Market) operated in the main level of the subject building. The property is currently accessed from the north via King Street West and from the south via Grange Street. Site topography was generally observed to be flat; the asphalt driveway and parking area slopes slightly to the south. Bedrock outcropping was observed along the east and west property boundaries. The site is bordered by mixed residential and commercial activity to the south, east and west, and primarily residential activity to the north. The scaled site location and site layout plan are shown on Drawings Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment study area with adjacent properties within 250 metre radius is outlined in Drawing No. 3. The physiography of the area is described as limestone plains1 with overburden thickness ranging from approximately 0.6 to 2.1 metres consisting of sand and/or clay overlying limestone berdrock. Bedrock geology of the area consists of a strategraphic sequence of Paleozoic, Middle Ordovician age limestone bedrock, including the middle member of the Gull River Formation2 consisting of buff and green siltstone, dolomitic siltstone and brown, lithographic limestone. The limestone bedrock is the predominant aquifer in the study area. Groundwater is stored and transmitted by the openings present along horizontal bedding planes and vertical fractures or joints. The spacing of these openings, the size and the interconnection between them is crucial to an adequate supply. The municipal water supply for the City of Kingston is obtained from Lake Ontario.

water wells are reported in the subject area. The City of Kingston services properties with underground municipal water, sewer and natural gas services. The presence of underground utilities and storm water systems parallel to King Street West and Grange Street may act as potential receptors to subsurface contamination.
ASC identified three commercial properties to the east, west and northwest as a potential source of subsurface contamination to the subject property. The property located approximately 50 metres west of the subject property (680 King Street West) has historically operated as a dry cleaning and laundry facility from the 1970s to 2010. The property is currently operated as a restaurant. Based on site redevelopment and given that underground services will likely act as potential receptors to subsurface contamination, the west adjacent property is presently a low environmental concern.
The property located approximately 80 metres east of the subject property (634 King Street West) operated as a used automotive dealership and service station in the 1960s and 1970s. The property is currently vacant, and comprises part of the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour Park. Based on site redevelopment and given that the property is down gradient of the subject property, the east adjacent property is presently a low environmental concern.
The property located approximately 225 metres northeast of the subject property (169 Yonge Street) has been listed an automotive repair / body shop since the 1960s. Based on site proximity and given that underground services will likely act as potential receptors to subsurface contamination, this is presently a low environmental concern. Commercial sites that were identified to the east, west and northwest of the subject property are a low environmental concern based on site redevelopment, site proximity and given that underground services will likely act as potential receptors to subsurface contamination. We are of the opinion that the PCAs have not resulted in Areas of Potential Environmental Concern on the subject property. No uncertainties that could affect the validity of the conceptual site model were noted during the Phase I ESA study.
