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 2014/06/30, 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.
Ground water sampling has been conducted in accordance with the regulation by or under the supervision of a qualified person as required by the regulation.
I have, within the six months immediately before the submission of this record of site condition, given written notice of intention to apply non-potable ground water site condition standards to the clerk of the local municipality in which the property is located and the clerk of any upper-tier municipality in which the property is located.
As of 2014/06/30, 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 37 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 2014/06/30, 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.
The opinions expressed in this RSC are engineering or scientific opinions made in accordance with generally accepted principles and practices as recognized by members of the environmental engineering or science profession or discipline practising at the same time and in the same or similar location.
I do not hold and have not held and my employer EXP SERVICES INC.does not hold and has not held a direct or indirect interest in the RSC property or any property which includes the RSC property and was the subject of a phase one or two environmental site assessmentor risk assessment upon which this record of site condition is based
To the best of my knowledge, the certifications and statements in this part of the RSCare true as of 2014/06/30.
By signing this RSC, I make no express or implied warranties or guarantees.
By checking the boxes above, and entering my membership/licence number in this submission, I, CARLA REYNOLDS, a qualified person as defined in section 5 of O. Reg. 153/04 am, on 2014/08/07:

1.0 Phase Two Conceptual Site Model Exp Services Inc. was retained by Kagan Shastri LLP to conduct a Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and provide remediation services for the site located at 6380 16
th Avenue in Markham,
Ontario (herein referred to as the “RSC property” or “site”). The site measures approximately 0.75 hectares. The legal description of the RSC property is: Part of Block 9, Plan 65M(3103, designated as Parts 14, 15 and 16 on Reference Plan 65R(22922: Town of Markham (being Part of PIN No. 03061(0114 (LT)).
1.1 Potentially Contaminating Activities Based on the findings of the Phase One investigation conducted by exp in 2013, the following potentially contaminating activities (PCAs), as defined in Table 2 of Schedule D of O. Reg. 153/04 were identified within the Phase One Study Area:
• (28) Gasoline and associated products storage in fixed tanks
• (30) Importation of fill material of unknown quality
• (58) Waste disposal and waste management, including thermal treatment, landfilling and transfer of waste, other than use of biosoils as soil conditioners
The number presented beside the PCA is associated with the PCA number in Table 2 of Schedule D of O.Reg. 153/04. A brief assessment of the identified PCAs is provided below:
Gasoline and associated products storage in fixed tanks:
The three USTs historically located on the southern portion of the site were removed by Franklin Industrial Services Inc. in September 1994. The three tanks, one with a capacity of 8,500 L and two with capacities of 10,000 L, were emptied of 11,365 L of liquid, excavated and delivered to Triple M Metal Inc. on September 26, 1994 (Report of Cleanup/Remediation, Swan Lake Development 16
th Avenue between
Hwy 48 and 9th Line, Markham, Ontario, Peto MacCallum Ltd., Consulting Engineers, November 1995).
The petroleum impacted soils associated with the tank nest were excavated in the summer of 1995. Approximately 900 m
3 of petroleum impacted soils were excavated and disposed off(site. Confirmatory
chemical testing of soils was undertaken at the time of the remediation. Fifty soil samples were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), PAHs and BTEX and seven soil samples were analyzed for VOCs and SVOCs from six excavations across the Swan Lake development, including the RSC property. The soil samples were compared to MOE Standards; where the representative samples did not comply with the Standards, the impacted soils were excavated and disposed off(site. Pre(construction excavation completed at the site in approximately 2011 resulted in the removal of all soil in the vicinity of the UST nest to a depth of greater than 3 mbgs.

Importation of fill of unknown quality:
Potentially impacted fill of unknown quality was identified as a PCA, resulting in an APEC on the unexcavated north(central portion of the site.
Waste disposal and waste management, including thermal treatment, landfilling and transfer of waste,
other than use of biosoils as soil conditioners:
Historically, the site was used for agricultural purposes prior to the 1960s. Between the 1960s and early 1970s, the subject property and surrounding lands operated as a sand and gravel quarry. Leftover construction materials from surrounding properties were disposed at the site by the 1980s. By 1984, the site was classified as a waste disposal site by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) due to illegal dumping. Substantial remedial excavation of the former quarry lands, including the RSC property, was completed by Peto McCallum Ltd. between 1994 and 1995.
1.2 Areas of Potential Environmental Concern Exp conducted a Phase One ESA for the RSC property in 2013, summarizing the current and historical sources of information. Based on this review, the areas of potential environmental concern (APEC), as outlined in the table below, were identified based on the PCAs in the Phase One Study Area that would be thought to contribute to an APEC on the RSC property.

Note: No sediment was present at the subject property.
1.3 Subsurface Utilities The RSC property is currently vacant. There are no structures or current services to the site. The location of the subsurface utility corridors in and around the RSC property are shown on Figure 11. Given that contamination is present solely in soil and the relatively low mobility of the COCs, the subsurface utility corridors located along 16
th Avenue and at the north RSC property boundary are not anticipated to
provide a preferential pathway for contaminant distribution. This is further supported by the fact that leaching has not occurred in ground water as all ground water parameters analyzed were within MOE Table 9 Standards.
2.0 Physical Setting The RSC property is located in the physiographic region known as the Peel Plain. The native soils consist of sand and gravel to silt till (Physiography of Southern Ontario, Chapman and Putnam, 1984). This is supported by observations from previous environmental and geotechnical reports, which generally describe site stratigraphy as a layer of sandy silt to a maximum depth of 4.9 mbgs, underlain by gravelly sand to a maximum depth of 5.8 mbgs. No bedrock was encountered during the environmental and geotechnical investigations. Based on the results of the Phase Two investigation, the site stratigraphy is determined to be approximately 4 to 5 metres of brown sandy silt underlain by gravelly sand. Clayey silt was found at TH1 at a depth of 2.0 to 4.6 mbgs. Bedrock was not encountered during the Phase Two Investigation. However, according to the Bedrock Topography of the Greater Toronto and Oak Ridges Moraine Areas, Southern Ontario (Map 3419, 1998), bedrock at the RSC property can be found at approximately 90 metres above sea level (masl). With respect to Section 43.1 of the O.Reg.153/04, the subject property is not considered to be a shallow soil property. A map of the subject property from the Ontario Base Map series available through the Natural Resources Atlas of Canada was reviewed. Based on the map, the topography in the vicinity of the site appeared relatively flat, sloping southwest. The topographic contour lines confirmed that local ground water is

4
expected to flow southwest towards the Rouge River and regional ground water flow is expected to flow southeast towards Lake Ontario. The topography was confirmed during the site reconnaissance.
The ground water table was measured between 96.12 to 97.78 masl in the native sandy silt aquifer during the Phase Two ESA completed by exp in July 2013. During the Phase Two ESA, the ground water table was found in the native sandy silt unit, having an average hydraulic conductivity of 2.83 x 10
(3 cm/sec. Based on a calculated horizontal hydraulic gradient
of 0.026 m/m, and 30% porosity, Darcy’s Law was used to calculate an approximate ground water velocity of 77 metres per year in the sandy silt. The southwesterly ground water flow direction and hydraulic gradient were measured on June 21, 2013. Ground water contours are illustrated in Figure 10. Based on geological stratigraphy, including surficial and bedrock topography, observed land slope towards the Rouge River, and proximity to surface water features, ground water flow beneath the site is inferred to be southwest towards the Rouge River. At the regional scale, ground water flow is estimated to be southeast towards Lake Ontario. Based on the distance to Swan Lake to the north, the site includes land within 30 metres of a water body as defined in O.Reg. 153/04, Section 43.1. The site is not considered to be a sensitive site, as defined in O.Reg. 153/04, Section 41, for the following reasons: The site does not include and is not within 30 metres of an area of natural significance and soil samples had a pH of between 5 and 9, and the site is not considered to have shallow soil. As a result, the Table 9 Standards for land within 30 metres of a water body are appropriate for the site. Pre(construction excavation was completed at the site in approximately 2011. Approximately 75% of the site was excavated to a depth of approximately 3 to 4 metres below ground surface (mbgs), including the area surrounding the former UST tank nest. The walls of the excavation were graded for safety, and no backfilling was completed in anticipation of future site development. During the site reconnaissance conducted by exp in July 2013, the site was observed to be vacant and undeveloped. The site remained primarily an open excavation, with the exception of an unexcavated area on the north portion of the site. A Locality Plan and Site Plan are provided as Figures 1 and 2, respectively. A proposed low(rise seniors residence is proposed to be located within the excavated footprint on the west and south portions of the site.
3.0 Current Site Status 3.1 Soil
During the 2013 Phase Two ESA, soil samples were collected from test holes TH1 to TH10 from depths ranging from grade to 4.3 mbgs. One worst case soil samples was submitted from each test hole for analysis of the potential COCs including VOCs, PHC fractions F1 to F4, PAHs, and metals and inorganic parameters.

Contaminant concentrations were measured to exceed the Table 9 Standards beneath the west portion of the previously unexcavated portion of land located on the north(central portion of the site. The following contaminants were identified in soil:
• One soil sample (TH2(SS1, at a depth ranging from 0 to 0.6 mbgs) exhibited a value of electrical conductivity (EC) exceeding the Table 9 Standards;
• One soil sample (TH7(SS1, at a depth ranging from 0 to 0.6 mbgs) exhibited concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs: benzo(a)pyrene and fluoranthene) exceeding the Table 9 Standards;
• One soil sample (TH7(SS7, at a depth ranging from 3.7 to 4.3 mbgs) exhibited concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) fractions F2 and F3 exceeding the Table 9 Standards;
• One soil sample (TH11(SS7, a duplicate of TH7(SS7, at a depth ranging from 3.7 to 4.3 mbgs) exhibited concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) fraction F2 and F3 exceeding the Table 9 Standards;
• One soil sample (TH10(SS3, at a depth ranging from 1.5 to 1.8 mbgs) exhibited concentrations of PAHs (acenaphthene, anthracene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, fluoranthene, fluorene, indeno(1,2,3(cd)pyrene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, and pyrene) and metals (Hot Water Soluble (HWS) boron) exceeding the MOE Table 9 Standards.
Subsequent remedial earthworks were undertaken in 2014 (expa, 2014) to address the soil impacts identified during the Phase Two ESA in APEC A. Confirmatory samples obtained at the margins of the excavation were within the Table 9 Standards for all parameters analyzed. Soil remediation activities and confirmatory sampling are detailed in Section 4.0, below. All soil samples obtained during the Phase Two ESA Update (expb, 2014) were within the Table 9 Standards for all parameters analyzed. No impacts were identified in APEC B (former UST nest) during the Phase Two ESA Update. No further remedial action is necessary for soil at the site.
3.2 Ground Water The ground water samples collected from monitors installed at TH1, TH2, TH3, TH7 and TH201 were within the MOE Table 9 Standards for metals, PAHs, VOCs and PHCs. As such, no remedial action is necessary for ground water at the site. No sediment was present at the site.
3.3 Contaminants Exceedances of the Table 9 Soil Standards measured at TH2, TH7 and TH10 in APEC A are attributed to PCAs S1 (importation of fill of unknown quality) and S3 (waste disposal and waste management). The Cross Section Plan is presented as Figure 4. The vertical extent of the contamination was delineated to a maximum depth of less than 7.5 mbgs, and is shown in Figures 5, 6, 8 and 9. The lateral distribution of soil contamination was delineated to an area of approximately 760 m
2, and is illustrated in Figure 7.

As contamination at the RSC property is limited to soil only and soil mobility is negligible, migration of contaminants off(site is not anticipated. No climatic or meterological conditions are known to have influenced distribution and migration of the contaminants at the property. As there are no buildings or subsurface structures currently on(site, soil vapour intrusion is not a potential concern. Ground water at the site and in the site’s vicinity is non(potable. Statements of non(objection to the application were obtained from the upper tier (York Region) and lower tier (City of Markham) municipalities. The appropriate generic clean(up Standards for the RSC property were the Table 9 Generic Site Condition Standards for Use within 30 metres of Water Body for all types of property use and all soil textures, as listed in the MOE technical document Soil, Ground Water and Sediment Standards for Use Under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (MOE Standards) referenced by the Ontario Record of Site Condition Regulation (O.Reg. 153/04).
4.0 Description of Excavation Activities at the Phase Two Property
Based on the findings of the Phase One and Two ESAs, areas of impacted soil were identified at the RSC property. Due to the localized nature of soil impacts, excavation and disposal of the impacted soil was identified as the most cost effective and expedient method for remediation of the site. Excavation of soil impacted with COCs in exceedance of the MOE Table 9 Standards was conducted from January 20 to February 27, 2014. Soil suspected to exceed the MOE Table 9 Standards was stockpiled for off(site disposal at an MOE licensed landfill. Approximately 5,355 m
3 (9,639 tonnes) of soil
exceeding the MOE Table 9 Standards was transported for off(site disposal at an MOE licensed landfill from January 20 to February 27, 2014 by Coreydale Contracting Ltd. under the observation of exp. Confirmatory soil sampling was conducted along the margins of the completed excavations at a frequency indicated by O.Reg. 153/04 Part V, Table 3, Minimum Confirmation Sampling Requirements for Excavation. Soil samples were analyzed for identified COCs, including PHC fractions F1 to F4, BTEX, PAHs, and metals and inorganics. Two excavation areas were created to remediate soil impacts. Details pertaining to these areas are provided below: Excavation 1 – Main Excavation Between January 20 to 28, 2014 and February 20 to 27, 2014, exp completed a remedial excavation on the north(central portion of the site. The excavation consisted of a rectangular trench having the dimensions of 49 metres by 15.5 metres with a depths ranging from 4.0 to 7.5 mbgs. Black staining was observed on the walls of the excavation and petroleum odour was detected at a depth of approximately 1.0 to 3.0 metres below ground surface (mbgs) in the southwestern portion of the excavation. Approximately 5,317 m
3 of soil (9,570 tonnes) exceeding the MOE Table 9 Standards was transported for
off(site disposal at an MOE licensed landfill between January 20 to January 28, 2014 and from February 20, 2014 to February 27, 2014.

A total of 49 confirmatory soil samples were collected from the site between January 20 and February 27, 2014. Soil samples were collected throughout the earthworks process to monitor the progress of the soil removal and to determine when the “clean” boundaries of the excavation were encountered. When a sample did not meet MOE Table 9 Standards the impacted area was excavated further and additional confirmatory soil samples were collected once the impacted soil had been removed. Seven confirmatory floor samples were collected on January 20, 2014, including a worst(case floor sample from the southern portion of the excavation that exhibited the strongest PHC odour and staining. Five confirmatory soil samples were collected on January 23, 2014, including four floor samples and one west wall sample. One worst case soil sample was collected from the floor of the excavation on January 27, 2014 and was collected from the area exhibiting the strongest PHC odour and staining. Twenty(three confirmatory soil samples were collected from the excavation on January 28, 2014, including five samples from the floor, five samples from the west wall, four samples from the north wall, one sample from the south wall and eight samples from the east wall. An additional seven confirmatory soil samples were collected from the site on February 20, 2014 after further excavation of the north and east walls had been conducted. Of the seven samples, two were collected from the east wall, three were collected from the north wall, and two were collected from the floor. These samples were collected in order to confirm that additional excavation had removed soil in exceedance of the MOE Table 9, identified during previous stages of the earth works. One sample (EW 3.5x1) collected on February 20, 2014 was found to be in exceedance of the MOE Table 9 Standards for certain PAHs; further excavation was conducted on February 28, 2014 at the impacted location. An additional metre of soil was removed from the east wall and six confirmatory samples were retrieved, including one floor sample, three east wall samples, and two north wall samples. All of the samples retrieved on February 27, 2014 were found to be within the MOE Table 9 Standards and no further excavation was warranted. Table 2: Confirmatory Sample Summary (Excavation 1)

5.0 Contaminant Pathways and Receptors Figures 12 and 13 present the human health and ecological conceptual site models (HHCSM and ECSM, respectively) based on site conditions prior to remediation. These figures, along with Figures 1 to 11 provide the information required as follows:
- Contaminant release pathways - Transport pathways - Human and ecological receptors located on, in, or under the RSC Property - Receptor exposure points - Routes of exposure
The HHCSM and ECSM provide a diagram showing the sources, release, and transport mechanisms; exposure routes; and receptors. The CSMs identify the complete exposure pathways where receptors might make direct contact with COCs in soil and ground water, or where they may indirectly be exposed to COCs in soil or ground water via vapour transport or other pathways. Additionally, the CSM identifies pathways considered insignificant or negligible because the pathways may be incomplete or blocked.
6.0 Uncertainty in the Phase Two Investigation
The investigation undertaken by exp with respect to this investigation and any conclusions or recommendations resulting from the work reflect exp’s judgment based on the site conditions observed at the time of the site inspection on the date(s) set out in the report, and on information available at the time of preparation of this work. Exp has confirmed neither the completeness nor the accuracy of the records that were provided by others; as such, the historical records review is identified as a potential source of

uncertainty during the investigation. The CSM is developed using multiple lines of evidence, searches and source information to make every reasonable attempt to ensure that findings of environmental significance are captured. To reduce uncertainty in the analytical results obtained during the Phase Two ESA, a documented quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program, including Field QA/QC and Laboratory QA/QC components, was implemented. Written field and laboratory sampling procedures for soil and ground water developed by exp were used to ensure consistency in sample collection and preparation of samples for submission to the laboratory. The Ministry of Environment (MOE) document entitled Guidance on Sampling and Analytical Methods for Use at Contaminated Sites in Ontario, December 1996, was used as a reference. Sampling analysis was performed using generally accepted principles and with appropriate sampling equipment. The staff involved in the field sampling have participated in regular, ongoing exp training programs and were qualified and experienced in collecting, describing, and preparing environmental samples for laboratory analysis. Data quality objectives for the parameters of concern were set to meet acceptable Reporting Detection Limits (RDLs) to achieve the goal of defining areas where such parameters are present at levels in excess of applicable generic Standards. A field QA/QC program of blind field duplicate samples, field blank samples, trip blank samples and trip spike samples were implemented to reduce uncertainty related to the QA/QC. Relative percent differences (RPDs) were calculated for each of the sample/field duplicate sets and compared to acceptable alert limit criteria for each parameter. No exccedances of the alert criteria were measured, and no issues were identified during QA/QC checks that would increase uncertainty with respect to the findings of the Phase Two ESA. Any uncertainty or absence of information in the records review, interviews, and site reconnaissance components of the Phase One investigation, or any uncertainty or absence of information within the Phase Two investigation, are not anticipated to materially affect the validity of the conceptual site model (CSM) or Phase Two ESA conclusions.
