EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was done at the request of Sam Mercado of
OMS Management Services Inc. It was understood that this Phase I ESA report is to be
used as part of the submission requirements to the City of Burlington for zoning and building
permit application purposes. It was also understood that it will be used for mortgage
purposes.
The study and report included the review of two previous environmental reports carried out
by AMEC Earth and Environmental which were provided to us by Sam Mercado. The study
was done in accordance with CSA guidelines (Z768-01).
Our main findings are that the site has been used mainly for farming and horse raising
purposes. Because of this AMEC carried out testing for samples for metals and Inorganics
and for the presence of OCPs (organochlorine pesticides). We compared the AMEC’s raw
data of the laboratory results done by Agat Laboratories for metals and inorganics and found
that they meet the current Ministry of The Environment O. Reg 511/09 for General and
Inorganic parameters against Table 1 for residential land use. No herbicides or pesticides
were detected in any of the samples tested for OCPs. Consequently, herbicides and
pesticides are no longer considered to be potential contaminants at the site.
Another concern AMEC had at the site was the possible presence piles of fill consisting of
construction and soil materials on isolated parts of the site. However, at the time of our
investigation we did not find any such piles of fill. Further we also took three samples of the
surficial materials from the site and tested them for Metals and Inorganics by Agat
Laboratories and found that each sample tested met The Ministry of The Environment O.
Reg 511/09 for General and Inorganic parameters against Table 1 for residential land use.
Based on our results and AMEC’s test results of the samples tested for Metals and
Inorganics, potential contaminants from fill material is no longer a concern at the site.
An abandoned former water well was found at the northern part of site. This well is of some
concern at the site as it appears that it had not been properly decommissioned and we
recommend that it be decommissioned by a licensed well contractor in according with O.
Reg. 903.
A Freedom of Information requests for records of any environmental issues at the site has
been made through the Ministry of The Environment (MOE). These reports have not yet
been received. They typically take about four weeks to obtain and they will be forward to
you as soon as they become available.

INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF WORK
Canada Engineering Services Inc., was authorized by Ms. Sam Mercado, of OMS
Management Services Inc., to carry out a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of the site
located at 1215 Appleby Line, Burlington, Ontario, with a legal address of Lot 5, Concession
2, South of Dundas Street, Part 1 on Plan20R-16945, Regional Municipality of Halton, City
of Burlington, Ontario. The site is approximately 1.20 hectares in size.
It was understood that this Phase I ESA report is to be used as part of the submission
requirements to the City of Burlington for zoning and building permit application purposes.
It was also understood that it may be used in the future for mortgage purposes.
The scope of work undertaken, consisted of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, in
accordance with CSA guidelines (Z768-01). The study consisted of the following four basic
steps:
a)
b)
c)
d)
3.0
a records review;
a site visit;
interviews; and
evaluation of information and reporting.
SITE GEOLOGY
The surficial geology at the site, as published in 1986 in Map 2509 Quaternary Geology,
Hamilton Area, consists of: Halton Till: Consisting of clay or silt till.
The bedrock geology at the site, as published in 1976 in Map 2336 Paleozoic Geology in
Hamilton, consists of : Queenston Shale Formation.

SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is located at 1215 Appleby Line, Burlington, Ontario, in a built up mixed
commercial and industrial area. For convenience Appleby Line is taken as running in an
East-West direction.
The site is bounded by Appleby Line on the south side, a commercial car wash and a car
maintenance facility (AutoSpa) on the west side, a storage building facility on the east side
and an ice rink Appleby Ice Centre. To the north of the property is Appleby Creek which is
within less than 30 m from the site.

130035-2
Further north, beyond Appleby Creek is Walker Industries Norjohn Transfer Systems
Limited [waste transfer station] (5030 Mainway) and various kinds of other industrial
buildings and further south beyond Appleby Line are industrial buildings, the closest being
Samuel Metal Processing Company Limited, a steel fabricating factory. Further west beyond
the car wash and car maintenance facility is a modern Shell gas service centre followed by
Mainway (name of a street).
The subject lands are gently sloped towards Appleby Line, in the front and toward Appleby
Creek to the north. Appleby Creek on the north side of the site is within 30 m from the
subject property, which makes it a sensitive site. The site is currently a vacant field and at
the time of the investigation was predominantly covered with tall grasses. Generally
groundwater and surface water flow is expected to flow toward the Appleby Creek or to the
East.
The surrounding properties of relevance to the site are the following:
1.
The AutoSpa located immediately to the west of the site with its building and
operating facilities about 20 m away.
2.
The Shell gas station located just next to AutoSpa and about 125 m west of the
subject site.
3.
The Appleby Creek located within less than 30 m to the northern part of the site,
which makes it a sensitive site, which means that all environmental sampling and
testing must Ministry of The Environment O. Regulation 511/09 for General and
Inorganic parameters against Table 1.
4.
The Walker Industries Norjohn Transfer Systems Limited [waste transfer station]
located across the Appleby Creek at 5030 Mainway which is about 75 m East of the
site.
5.
The Namasco Steel Factory located across Appleby Line approximately 40 m away
from the site. The sign on the building now says Samuel Metal Processing.
Based on the types of operations, the length of time they have been in business, and most
likely direction of groundwater flow toward Appleby Creek and the relatively impermeable
surficial soils of dense clay and silt tills found at the site from our geotechnical investigation,
it is our opinion that the potential of contaminant migrations from these surrounding facilities
onto the subject site is very low and is not a concern at the subject site. All sampling and
testing carried out at the site have so far met Ministry of The Environment O. Regulation
511/09 for General and Inorganic parameters Table 1 requirements for residential land use.
See AMEC and CESI testing reports in Appendix “E”.

RECORDS REVIEW
The records review consisted of the following steps:
Aerial Photographs
Property use records
Title Search records
Prior Phase 1 ESA reports
Company records
Geological and Geotechnical Reports
Regulatory information
5.1
Aerial Photography
The 1934, 1962, 1974, 1979, 1986 and 2001 aerial photographs reviewed from the Phase I
ESA Report prepared by AMEC Earth & Environmental (Project No.: TB7102007, July 12,
2007), for the site indicated that the subject property and surrounding areas were used for
farming purposes between 1934 and 1979. It was found that commercial/industrial
development was observed southeast of the subject property in the 1986 aerial photograph.
The 2001 aerial photograph shows an industrial building located south of the site on the other
side of Appleby Line. In addition, Appleby Line, the ravine and Appleby Creek were all
present in all the aerial photographs. The 2011 aerial photograph, which was obtained from
The City of Burlington, shows the subject property with very little change since 2001 with
the exception of the development of a storage facility and an A & W restaurant east of the
site. See aerial photographs in Appendix “A”.
5.2
Property Use Records and City Directory Records
5.2.1
A search for fire insurance maps was undertaken in the Phase I ESA prepared by AMEC
Earth & Environmental (Project No.: TB71020, July 12, 2007) but no fire insurance maps
were found. This search was not repeated but the findings by AMEC was taken as accurate.
See fire insurance map report in Appendix “B”.
5.2.2
Addresses at 1175, 1201, 1215, 1250 Appleby Line, 4499 and 5030 Mainway were checked
in Mike’s city directories and found to exist from 1962. For the site, the oldest listing found
was 1962.
The listings found for the subject property were of private individuals from 1962 to 1982 and
it was listed as vacant from 1983 to 1990. The site was not listed thereafter.

The listings found for 1175 Appleby Line indicate that a number of commercial/industrial
companies like Mastron Scale Limited, Garlock of Canada, Stanley Air Tools, Waste Quality
Management, Medallion Plastics, FEL Group, Are-o-Flo Environment, Price Manufacturing
Inc., Bay Park Steel Manufacturing, Neath Industrial Safety, Amcast Industrial, Parts
Headquarter Inc., Milacron Canada, Mueller Door Decor Inc., Fab-Tex Filtration, Bower’s
Medical Supply, Detail Merchandising Inc., Ultra Pure Water Quality and Elkhart Products
Inc., occupied the property from the mid 1980's to 2005.
Only one listing was found for Golden Horseshoe Hockey League from 2002 to 2005 for the
property at 1201 Appleby Line.
The listings for 1250 Appleby Line indicated that Stelco Inc., occupied the property from
1980 to 1995 and was then occupied by Namasco Limited from 2000 to 2003.
Only one listing was found for the properties at 4499 and 5030 Mainway, which was
occupied by Pioneer Petroleums in 2005 and Norjohn Transfer Systems Limted in 1990 to
2005 respectively.
5.3
Title Search and Assessment Rolls
5.3.1
Title Search records were conducted and our detailed findings are shown in Appendix “B.”
The property was owned by private individuals up to 1985, where it was re-planned and was
owned by The Corporation of the City of Burlington. It changed hands to Cooper
Corporation in 1989 and was then sold to Paletta International (1990) Inc. The property was
then sold to 2145489 Ontario Inc., who are the current owners.
5.3.2
Assessment Roll records were not checked, as it was not considered necessary.
5.4
Prior Phase I Reports and Geotechnical Reports
A check was made with the current owner and no geotechnical reports were available but
an earlier Phase I ESA was available. Phase I ESA Report was prepared by AMEC Earth &
Environmental (Project No.: TB71020, July 12, 2007).
The main concerns that AMEC found with the site were as follows:
1.
The possible presence of herbicides and pesticides on the property due to past uses as a farm
and for raising horses.

2.
“A historic water well was identified at the north portion of the property. The casing was
concrete and appeared to be filled in with soil of unknown quality. As noted in Section 4.5,
well coordinates and a log obtained (by others) from the Ministry of the environment
identified a water well for domestic use that relates to a home that was located south of the
Site. Well 28-3302 was drilled for domestic uses with a casing diameter of 762 millimeters
and a static water level reported at 5.49 m on completion in December 1969.” The
environmental risk was considered low and it was recommended that this well be
decommissioned.
3.
This AMEC reported stated, the presence of , “piles of fill material consisting of concrete,
wood, brick, topsoil, gravel, and sod at the south central portion of the property (along the
gravel entrance) and along the northern property boundary. No deleterious materials (such
as refuse /debris or visible discoloration) were observed within the fill. No chemical
analysis of the fill material was available, and therefore the quality is unknown.
4.
As a result of first item above, a follow up report was carried out by AMEC (report no.
7102001 dated August 7, 2007). See Appendix “E”. This report was provided to us and
was reviewed by us and in this report AMEC carried out testing on five (5) soil samples,
including a duplicate, for organochlorine pesticides (“OCP”), and two samples for metals and
inorganics testing. No OCP was detected in any of the samples tested and both of the
samples tested for metals and inorganics met the Soil, Ground Water and Sediment
Standards for Use under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act”, dated 9 March,
2004. The raw results were compared to and found to meet the current requirements for
Ministry of The Environment O. Regulation 511/09 for General and Inorganic parameters
against Table 1 for residential land use. In our opinion there is no longer a concern at the
subject site with regards to OCPs.
5.
The second item above is still of some concern to us and it is recommended that the well be
decommissioned by a licensed well drilling contractor in accordance with O. Reg 903.
3.
The third item above is no longer a concern as we did not find these stockpiles of fill on the
site and presume that they have been hauled off the site. Further, CESI also took three
samples of the surficial materials from the site and tested them for Metals and Inorganics by
Agat Laboratories and found that each sample tested met the Ministry of The Environment
O. Regulation 511/09 for General and Inorganic parameters against Table 1 for residential
land use. See CESI report in Appendix “E”. Based on our results and AMEC’s test results
of the samples tested for Metals and Inorganics, potential contaminants from fill material is
no longer a concern at the site.

1215 Appleby Line, Burlington, Ontario
June 28, 2013
130035-2
In their Phase I ESA report, AMEC Earth & Environmental mentioned that two previous reports
were provided to them by the site representative and they are as follows:
1.
“Supplementary Phase I Environmental Evaluation, Parts Lot 5 Concession II, 1215
Appleby Line, City of Burlington”, dated October 16, 2006, by Bruce A. Brown
Associates Limited.
2.
“Phase I Environmental Assessment, Parts Lot 5 Concession 2, 1215 Appleby Line,
City of Burlington”, dated February 26, 2004, by Bruce A. Brown Associates
Limited.
Both reports did not indicate any significant findings except for construction of a building
to house Jiffy Lube and Car Wash on the neighbouring land to the west and that no evidence
of fill being dumped on the property was found. These reports were not available to us and
since AMEC had not remarked on any major concerns mentioned in these reports, we did not
consider it necessary to follow up in trying to find them.
5.5
Company Records
There are no company records available, as there is no evidence that the subject property was
used as a company or business.
A site visit was conducted for the vacant plot of land on the subject properties and no signs
of any potential contaminants were found.
5.6
Geological and Geotechnical Reports
A check was made with the current owner and no geotechnical reports were available, but
two Phase I ESA reports carried out by AMEC Earth & Environmental in 2007 and two
Bruce A. Brown Associates Limited reports in 2006 and 2004 were reported to have existed.
The only reports available to us were the two AMEC reports which referenced the two Bruce
A. Brown Associates reports, with the only minor concern being the construction of the
AutoSpa to the west of the subject site.
We carried out a geotechnical investigation at the site and found that the surficial soils at the
site consist of clay tills and silt tills and shale bedrock of the Queenston Shale Formation.
This report is pending and will be issued soon. We were also commissioned to sample and
test the surficial soils at the site for Metals and Inorganics Ministry of The Environment O.
Regulation 511/09 for General and Inorganic parameters against Table 1 for residential land
use. This was done by us on April 7, 2013 and its number is 130035-1.

Database of MOE Waste Generator
The MOE Waste Generator Database was checked as part of the Ecolog databases search.
No records were found for the subject property and 17 records were found within 0.25
kilometers of the site.
Five records were found for Stelco Fastener & Forging Company, fastener shipping and
distribution centre, located at 1250 Appleby Line and approximately 50 m south of the
subject property. These records were for the years 1986, 1987 and 1994. The wastes
generated were described as acid waste - heavy metals and waste oils and lubricants.
One record was found for Stelco Wire Products Company, a rod processing plant, located
at 1250 Appleby Line and approximately 40 m south of the subject property. This record
was found for the years 1986 and 1987. The wastes generated were described as spent pickle
liquor, acid waste - heavy metals, alkaline wastes - other metals, other specified inorganics
and waste oils and lubricants.
Three records were found for Stelwire, The Wire Products Company, a wire product
company, located at 1250 Appleby Line and approximately 40 m south of the subject
property. These record were for the years 1989 and 1990. The wastes generated were
described as spent pickle liquor, acid waste - heavy metals, other specified inorganics,
aliphatic solvents, petroleum distillates, waste oils and lubricants and detergents/soaps.
One record was found for Namasco Limited, a stamped metal company, located at 1250
Appleby Line and approximately 40 m south of the subject property. This record was for the
years 2000 to 2005. The wastes generated were described as waste oils and lubricants,
neutralized wastes - heavy metals, other specified inorganics, petroleum distillates and oil
skimmings and sludges.
Two records were found for The City of Burlington, Appleby Ice Centre, a recreational
centre, located at 1201 Appleby Line and approximately 80 m east of the subject property.
These records for the years 2000 to 2001 and 2002 to 2005. The wastes generated were
described as waste oils and lubricants and oil skimmings and sludges.
Two records were found for Parts Headquarters Inc., a machinery wholesaler, located at 1175
Appleby Line, UnitC2 and approximately 150 m east of the subject property. These records
were for the years 1993 to 1996 and 1997 to 2001. The wastes generated were described as
petroleum distillates and waste oils and lubricants.
Two records were found for Cincinnati Milacron-Canada Limited, a petroleum products
wholesaler, located at 1175 Appleby Line, Unit B1 and approximately 150 m east of the
subject property. These records were for the years 1995 to 1998 and 1999 to 2001.

The wastes generated were described as alkaline wastes - other metals, neutralized wastes other metals, light fuels, halogenated solvents, halogenated pesticides, emulsified oils,
phenolic wastes and amines.
No records are available prior to 1986, when the Ministry of the Environment started
collecting and recording this information.
As mentioned earlier, based on the types of operations, the length of time they have been in
business, and most likely direction of groundwater flow toward Appleby Creek and the
relatively impermeable surficial soils of dense clay tills and silt tills found at the site from
our geotechnical investigation, it is our opinion that the potential of contaminant migrations
from these surrounding facilities onto the subject site is very low and is not a concern at the
subject site. All samples and testing carried out at the site have so far met Table 1 of O.
Reg. 153/04.
5.8.6
Occurrence Reporting Information System Database
The Occurrence Reporting Information System database was checked via the Ecolog search
that AMEC had commissioned and 8 incidents were found for Stelco Fastener and Forging
Company and Stelwire, located at 1250 Appleby Line, approximately 40 m south of the site.
The occurrence reports are tabulated below:

The largest volume of spills consist of spent acid and ferrous chloride which are not serious
contaminants. Acids can easily be neutralized by water and there is a high range for ferrous
compounds in the guidelines. Also, due to the distance apart of this site and the subject property,
the relatively impermeable surficial soils found at the site, it is highly unlikely that any of these will
reach the site. The other spillages are minor and will not reach the site.

Based on the types of operations above, the length of time they have been in business, and most
likely direction of groundwater flow toward Appleby Creek and the relatively impermeable surficial
soils of dense clay and silt tills found at the site from our geotechnical investigation, it is our opinion
that the potential of contaminant migrations from these surrounding facilities onto the subject site
is very low and is not a concern at the subject site. In the case of the property located at 1250
Appleby Line, which is upstream of the site for the likely groundwater flow direction, the
documented spills mentioned earlier are not a likely source of contaminants to the subject property.

SITE VISITS
Site visits were carried out on April 17, May 29 and June 26, 2013. During these visits, the
site was observed and were found to be vacant with a steel framed billboard structure located
at the south portion. There were very little changes from the surrounding areas except for
a recently built storage building (Storage Spot in Burlington) and a newly built restaurant (A
& W restaurant) immediately east of the subject property since the AMEC report of 2007.
From an earlier Phase I Environmental Site Assessment done by AMEC Earth &
Environmental (Project No.: TB71020, July 12, 2007), it was reported that there were piles
of fill material consisting of concrete, wood, brick, topsoil, gravel and sod at the south central
portion of the site and along the north property boundary. However, during our site visits,
none of the above-mentioned fill piles were found, which may indicate that fill piles were
previously removed and hauled off site. In addition, an environmental sampling report titled
“Environmental Chemical Testing for Proposed Commercial Development and Neighbouring
Soil Stockpile”, done by Canada Engineering Services Inc., (Report No. 130035-1, dated
April 24, 2013), was done for the subject property.
Three samples were taken close to the boundaries of the subject property and one sample was
taken in the neighbouring fill stockpile for chemical analyses. The samples were taken to
Agat Laboratories and tested against the Ministry of The Environment O. Regulation 511/09
for General and Inorganic parameters against Table 1 for residential land use. All four
samples met the requirements of the regulation for residential land use.
6.1
Spills, Surface Staining and Stressed Vegetation
CESI carried out a site reconnaissance of the subject to check for the presence of stressed
vegetation, any areas of surface staining, or any other potential indicators of former surface
spills or leaks. No areas of surface staining or stressed vegetation were observed at the Site
at the time of the site visit.

Aboveground Storage Tanks
No ASTs were found at the site and there was no information in any of the historical data
reviewed that indicated the present of any. As well a check with Mr. Prem Lal of TSSA
revealed that there were no records of these at the site.
6.2.2
Underground Storage Tanks
No USTs or any vent pipes structures protruding from the ground were found at the site and
there was no information in any of the historical data reviewed that indicated the present of
any. As well, a check with Mr. Prem Lal of TSSA revealed that there were no records of any
USTs at the site.
6.3.1
Liquid Waste
The site was used primarily for farming and raising horses and did not generate, store or
dispose of liquid wastes at the time of the site reconnaissance, or as found from the historical
data on the site. The site is not listed in the 2004 MOE computer database as a registered
generator of liquid industrial or hazardous waste.
6.3.2
Solid Waste
No solid wastes were generated, stored or disposed of at the Site during the reconnaissance.
Also, the site is not listed in the 2004 MOE computer database as a registered generator of
solid hazardous waste.

INTERVIEWS
7.1
Third Parties
During our site visits to the site, an interview was conducted with the current owner in
regards to the history of the site and current operations.
Mr. Toby Singlehurst of 2145489 Ontario Inc., current owner of the subject property was
contacted. He said that he bought the property since August of 2007 from Paletta
International and that prior to buying the property, two environmental reports were carried
out by AMEC Earth & Environmental. He also said that the property was purchased on the
basis that no environmental concerns were found for the subject property.

He mentioned that the current state of the site was relatively the same as in 2007, which was
a vacant plot of land. He mentioned that the site is currently going through a zoning and
permit application for a proposed commercial development.
7.2
Government Officials
An attempt was made to contact a number of government officials who had some knowledge
of the site, but at the time this report was completed, we had not received any response from
any of them.
Mr. Prem Lal of the Technical Standards & Safety Authority (TSSA) was contacted to find
out if there were any identifiable outstanding instructions, incident reports, fuel/oil spills or
contamination records for the site and surrounding areas and he reported that no information
was on file with respect to the subject property. In addition, he also reported that no
information was on file for the addresses at 1175, 1201 Appleby Line and 5030 Mainway.
However, a record of a cancelled compressed natural gas filling station was found for the
property at 1250 Appleby Line.
8.0
FINDINGS
From interviews with the owner of the building, a review of historical records, and from a
review of regulatory records, our findings of concern at the site were as follows:
The site has been used mainly for farming and horse raising purposes. Because of this
AMEC carried out testing for samples for metals and Inorganics and for the presence of
OCPs (organochlorine pesticides). We compared the AMEC’S raw data of the laboratory
results done by Agat Laboratories for metals and inorganics and found that they meet the
current Ministry of The Environment, O. Regulation 511/09 for General and Inorganic
parameters against Table 1, for residential land use. No herbicides or pesticides were
detected in any of the samples tested for OCPs. Consequently, herbicides and pesticides are
no longer considered to be potential contaminants at the site.
Another of our findings was the valid concern AMEC had at the site with regards to the
presence of piles of fill consisting of construction and soil materials on isolated parts of the
site. However, at the time of our investigation, we did not find any such piles of fill. Further
we also took three samples of the surficial materials from the site and tested them for Metals
and Inorganics by Agat Laboratories and found that each sample tested met The Ministry of
The Environment O. Regulation 511/09 for General and Inorganic parameters against Table
1 for residential land use.

1215 Appleby Line, Burlington, Ontario
June 28, 2013
130035-2
Based on our results and AMEC’s test results of the samples tested for Metals and
Inorganics, potential contaminants from fill material are no longer a concern at the site.
An abandoned former water well was found at the northern part of the site. This well is of
some concern at the site as it appears that it had not been properly decommissioned and we
recommend that it be decommissioned by a licensed well contractor in according with O.
Reg. 903.
9.0
EVALUATION OF FINDINGS
Our evaluations of the findings found the following:
10.0
1
The concern about herbicides and pesticides at the site have been handled by
adequate testing whereby no OCPs were found to exist on the site.
2
The concern about piles of fill on the site is no longer a valid concern as they no
longer exist and the surficial soils tested at the site meet the requirements of Table
1 of the Ministry of Environment O. Reg 511/09 for Metals and Inorganics.
3
An abandoned former water well was found at the northern part of site. This well
is still of some concern at the site as it appears that it had not been properly
decommissioned and we recommend that it be decommissioned by a licensed well
contractor in according with O. Reg. 903.
CONCLUSIONS
From our findings above, we conclude that there is no evidence to indicate the presence of
any contaminants of major concern on the subject property.
The one area of minor concern is an abandoned former water well found at the northern part
of site. This well is still of some concern at the site as it appears that it had not been properly
decommissioned and we recommend that it be decommissioned by a licensed well contractor
in according with O. Reg. 903.

Report Summary
i
This outlines the number of records from each database that fall on the site, and within various distances from
the site.
Site Diagram
ii
The records that were found within a specified distance from the project property (the primary search radius) have
been plotted on a diagram to provide you with a visual representation of the information available. Sites will be
plotted on the diagram if there is sufficient information from the database source to determine accurate geographic
coordinates. Each plotted site is marked with an acronym identifying the database in which the record was found
(i.e., WDS for Waste Disposal Sites). These are referred to as "Map Keys". A variety of problems are inherent when
attempting to associate various government or private source records with locations. EcoLog ERIS has attempted to
make the best fit possible between the available data and their positions on the site diagram.
Site Profile
iii
This table describes the records that relate directly to the property that is being researched.
Detail Report
iv
This section represents information, by database, for the records found within the primary search radius. Listed at
the end of each database are the sites that could not be plotted on the locator diagram because of insufficient
address information. These records will not have map keys. They have been included because they may be found to
be relevant during a more detailed investigation.

Environment Canada maintains a database referred to as the “Environmental Registry” that details prosecutions under the
Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) and the Fisheries Act (FA). Information is provided on the company name,
location, charge date, offence and penalty.
Contaminated Sites on Federal Land June 2000-2005
FCS
The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat maintains an inventory of all known contaminated sites held by various Federal
departments and agencies. This inventory does not include properties owned by Crown corporations, but does contain nonfederal sites for which the Government of Canada has accepted some or all financial responsibility. All sites have been
classified through a system developed by the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment. The database provides
information on company name, location, site ID #, property use, classification, current status, contaminant type and plan of
action for site remediation.
Fisheries & Oceans Fuel Tanks 1964-Sept 2003
FOFT
Fisheries & Oceans Canada maintains an inventory of all aboveground & underground fuel storage tanks located on
Fisheries & Oceans property or controlled by DFO. Our inventory provides information on the site name, location, tank
owner, tank operator, facility type, storage tank location, tank contents & capacity, and date of tank installation.
Indian & Northern Affairs Fuel Tanks 1950-Aug 2003

fuel storage tanks located on both federal and crown land. Our inventory provides information on the reserve name,
location, facility type, site/facility name, tank type, material & ID number, tank contents & capacity, and date of tank
installation.
National Analysis of Trends in Emergencies System (NATES) 1974-1994*
NATE
In 1974 Environment Canada established the National Analysis of Trends in Emergencies System (NATES) database, for the
voluntary reporting of significant spill incidents. The data was to be used to assist in directing the work of the emergencies
program. NATES ran from 1974 to 1994. Extensive information is available within this database including company names,
place where the spill occurred, date of spill, cause, reason and source of spill, damage incurred, and amount, concentration,
and volume of materials released.
National Defence & Canadian Forces Fuel Tanks Up to May 2001
NDFT
The Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces maintains an inventory of all aboveground & underground
fuel storage tanks located on DND lands. Our inventory provides information on the base name, location, tank type &
capacity, tank contents, tank class, date of tank installation, date tank last used, and status of tank as of May 2001. Please
note that due to the September 2001 terrorist attack, new National Security protocols have prohibited any release of updates
to this database.
National Defence & Canadian Forces Spills March 1999-Feb 2005
NDSP
The Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces maintains an inventory of spills to land and water. All spill
sites have been classified under the “Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act - 1992”. Our inventory provides information
on the facility name, location, spill ID #, spill date, type of spill, as well as the quantity of substance spilled & recovered.

site, depth of site, year site opened/closed and status.
National Environmental Emergencies System (NEES) 1974-2003
NEES
In 2000, the Emergencies program implemented NEES, a reporting system for spills of hazardous substances. For the most
part, this system only captured data from the Atlantic Provinces, some from Quebec and Ontario and a portion from British
Columbia. Data for Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Territories was not captured. However, NEES is also a
repository for all previous Environment Canada spill datasets. NEES is composed of the historic datasets – or Trends –
which dates from approximately 1974 to present. NEES Trends is a compilation of historic databases, which were merged
and includes data from NATES (National Analysis of Trends in Emergencies System), ARTS (Atlantic Regional Trends
System), and NEES. In 2001, the Emergencies Program determined that variations in reporting regimes and requirements
between federal and provincial agencies made national spill reporting and trend analysis difficult to achieve. As a
consequence, the department has focused efforts on capturing data on spills of substances which fall under its legislative
authority only (CEPA and FA). As such, the NEES database will be decommissioned in December 2004.
National PCB Inventory 1988-June 2004
NPCB
Environment Canada’s National PCB inventory includes information on in-use PCB containing equipment in Canada
including federal, provincial and private facilities. All federal out-of-service PCB containing equipment and all PCB waste

Drill Holes 1886-2005
DRL
The Ontario Drill Hole Database contains information on more than 113,000 percussion, overburden, sonic and diamond
drill holes from assessment files on record with the department of Mines and Minerals. Please note that limited data is
available for southern Ontario, as it was the last area to be completed. The database was created when surveys submitted to
the Ministry were converted in the Assessment File Research Image Database (AFRI) project. However, the degree of
accuracy (coordinates) as to the exact location of drill holes is dependent upon the source document submitted to the
MNDM. Levels of accuracy used to locate holes are: centering on the mining claim; a sketch of the mining claim; a
1:50,000 map; a detailed company map; or from submitted a “Report of Work”.
Environmental Registry 1994-July 2003*
EBR
The Environmental Registry lists proposals, decisions and exceptions regarding policies, Acts, instruments, or regulations
that could significantly affect the environment. Through the Registry, provincial ministries notify the public of upcoming
proposals and invite their comments. For example, if a local business is requesting a permit, licence, or certificate of
approval to release substances into the air or water; these are notified on the registry.
Ontario Regulation 347 Waste Generators Summary 1986-2005
GEN
Regulation 347 of the Ontario EPA defines a waste generation site as any site, equipment and/or operation involved in the
production, collection, handling and/or storage of regulated wastes. A generator of regulated waste is required to register the
waste generation site and each waste produced, collected, handled, or stored at the site. This database contains the
registration number, company name and address of registered generators including the types of hazardous wastes generated.
This information is a summary of all years from 1986 including the most currently available data. Some records may
contain, within the company name, the phrase “See & Use…” followed by a series of letters and numbers. This occurs when
one company is amalgamated with or taken over by another registered company. The number listed as “See & Use”, refers
to the new ownership and the other identification number refers to the original ownership. This phrase serves as a link
between the 2 companies until operations have been fully transferred.
Mineral Occurrences 1846-Oct 2004
MNR
In the early 70’s, the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines created an inventory of approximately 19,000 mineral
occurrences in Ontario, in regard to metallic and industrial minerals, as well as some information on building stones and
aggregate deposits. Please note that the “Horizontal Positional Accuracy” is approximately +/- 200 m. Many reference
elements for each record were derived from field sketches using pace or chain/tape measurements against claim posts or
topographic features in the area. The primary limiting factor for the level of positional accuracy is the scale of the source
material. The testing of horizontal accuracy of the source materials was accomplished by comparing the planimetric (X and
Y) coordinates of that point with the coordinates of the same point as defined from a source of higher accuracy.
Non-Compliance Reports 1992(water only), 1994-2005
NCPL
The Ministry of the Environment provides information about non-compliant discharges of contaminants to air and water that
exceed legal allowable limits, from regulated industrial and municipal facilities. A reported non-compliance failure may be
in regard to a Control Order, Certificate of Approval, Sectoral Regulation or specific regulation/act.
Ontario Oil and Gas Wells 1800-Oct 2006
OOGW
In 1998, the MNR handed over to the Ontario Oil, Gas and Salt Resources Corporation, the responsibility of maintaining a
database of oil and gas wells drilled in Ontario. Information available for all wells in the ERIS database include well
owner/operator, location, permit start date, well cap date, licence number, status, depth and the primary target (rock unit) of
the well being drilled.
Ontario Inventory of PCB Storage Sites 1987-Oct 2004
OPCB
The Ontario Ministry of Environment, Waste Management Branch, maintains an inventory of PCB storage sites within the
province. Ontario Regulation 11/82 (Waste Management - PCB) and Regulation 347 (Generator Waste Management) under
the Ontario EPA requires the registration of inactive PCB storage equipment and/or disposal sites of PCB waste with the
Ontario Ministry of Environment. This database contains information on: 1) waste quantities; 2) major and minor sites
storing liquid or solid waste; and 3) a waste storage inventory.
-4-
Ministry Orders 1995-1996
ORD
Control Orders/Documents are enforcement actions issued by the Ministry of the Environment to deal with environmental
violations. They clarify and allocate individual/joint liability when issuing clean-up orders for contaminated sites.
Occurrence Reporting Information System 1988-2002
ORIS
This database identifies sources, effects/actions and approximate locations of spills and occurrences within Ontario. The
locations identified on the locator diagram refer to the facility responsible for the spill. The actual location of the spill can be
derived from the descriptions provided in the detailed report.
Pesticide Register 1988-Oct 2006
PES
The Ontario Ministry of Environment maintains a database of all manufacturers and vendors of registered pesticides.
Private and Retail Fuel Storage Tanks 1989-1996*
PRT
The Fuels Safety Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations maintained a database of all
registered private fuel storage tanks and licensed retail fuel outlets. This database includes an inventory of locations that have
gasoline, oil, waste oil, natural gas and/or propane storage tanks on their property. The MCCR no longer collects this
information. This information is now collected by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority.
Ontario Regulation 347 Waste Receivers Summary 1986-2005
REC
Part V of the Ontario Environmental Protection Act (“EPA”) regulates the disposal of regulated waste through an operating
waste management system or a waste disposal site operated or used pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Certificate of
Approval or a Provisional Certificate of Approval. Regulation 347 of the Ontario EPA defines a waste receiving site as any
site or facility to which waste is transferred by a waste carrier. A receiver of regulated waste is required to register the waste
receiving facility. This database represents registered receivers of regulated wastes, identified by registration number,
company name and address. This information is a summary of all years from 1986 including the most currently available
data.
Record of Site Condition 1997-Sept 2001
RSC
The Record of Site Condition (RSC) provides a summary of the final environmental condition of a site, once an
environmental site assessment and/or restoration approach has been undertaken. The database provides information on the
site restoration approach used (Background, Generic, Site Specific Risk Assessment), location of contaminated site, whether
contamination extends past 1.5m from the surface thereby requiring “stratified restoration”, soil type, and the date when RSC
was submitted/acknowledged/ responded to by the Ministry of the Environment. A site restoration approach involves the use
of soil and groundwater quality criteria, which have been developed to provide protection against adverse effects to
human/ecological health and the natural environment. These criteria may be applied to agricultural, residential/parkland,
industrial/commercial land uses; as well as potable (source of drinking water) and nonpotable groundwater use.
Wastewater Discharger Registration Database 1990-1998
SRDS
Information under this heading is combination of the following 2 programs. The Municipal/Industrial Strategy for
Abatement (MISA) division of the Ontario Ministry of Environment maintained a database of all direct dischargers of toxic
pollutants within nine sectors including: Electric Power Generation; Mining; Petroleum Refining; Organic Chemicals;
Inorganic Chemicals; Pulp & Paper; Metal Casting; Iron & Steel; and Quarries. All sampling information is now collected
and stored within the Sample Result Data Store (SRDS).
Waste Disposal Sites - MOE CA Inventory 1970-Sept 2002
WDS
The Ontario Ministry of Environment, Waste Management Branch, maintains an inventory of known open (active or
inactive) and closed disposal sites in the Province of Ontario. Active sites maintain a Certificate of Approval, are approved
to receive and are receiving waste. Inactive sites maintain Certificate(s) of Approval but are not receiving waste. Closed
sites are not receiving waste. The data contained within this database was compiled from the MOE's Certificate of Approval
database. Locations of these sites may be cross-referenced to the Anderson database described under ERIS’s Private Source
Database section, by the CA number.
-5-
Waste Disposal Sites - MOE 1991 Historical Approval Inventory Up to Oct 1990*
WDSH
In June 1991, the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Waste Management Branch, published the "June 1991 Waste Disposal
Site Inventory", of all known active and closed waste disposal sites as of October 30st, 1990. For each "active" site as of
October 31st 1990, information is provided on site location, site/CA number, waste type, site status and site classification.
For each "closed" site as of October 31st 1990, information is provided on site location, site/CA number, closure date and
site classification. Locations of these sites may be cross-referenced to the Anderson database described under ERIS’s Private

RE:
Results of Surface Soil Sampling
1215 Appleby Line, Burlington, Ontario
Dear Mr. Brown / Singlehurst,
This letter presents the results of the soil sampling carried out by AMEC Earth & Environmental
(“AMEC”) at 1215 Appleby Line in Burlington, Ontario (the “Site”). The purpose of the soil
sampling was to determine any impacts in the surface soil resulting from the potential sources of
impact (i.e. pesticide usage, fill piles) as identified in the report produced by AMEC, entitled
“Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, Vacant Land, 1215 Appleby Line, Burlington,
Ontario”.
The purpose of the Surface Soil Sampling was to assess soil conditions at the Site with respect
to “Soil, Ground Water and Sediment Standards for Use under Part XV.1 of the Environmental
Protection Act”, dated 9 March, 2004.
METHODOLOGY
On July 24th, 2007, five (5) surface soil samples were collected using grab sample methods and
submitted to AGAT Laboratories Limited located in Mississauga, Ontario. Five (5) soil samples,
including a duplicate, were analyzed for metals (two of the samples were analyzed for metals
and inorganics) and five (5) soil samples, including a duplicate, were submitted for
organochlorine pesticides (“OCP”).
Soil samples were collected in accordance with the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy
(“MOEE”) “Guidance on Sampling and Analytical Methods for Use at Contaminated Sites in
Ontario”, issued in December of 1996.

Surface Soil Sampling
1215 Appleby Line, Burlington, Ontario
August 7, 2007
REGULATORY CRITERIA
The results were compared with Site Condition Standards, provided in the supporting document
“Soil, Ground Water and Sediment Standards for Use Under Part Xv.1 of the Environmental
Protection Act”, dated March 9, 2004. Due to the proximity of Appleby Creek to the Site, Table
1: Full Depth Background Site Condition Standards have been applied.
Upon decommissioning of the water well located on the Site, the majority of the property would
be classified under Table 3: Full Depth Generic Site Condition Standards in a Non-Potable
Ground Water Condition, with the exception of the portion of the Site which is within 30 metres
of the adjacent water body (Appleby Creek).
RESULTS OF LABORATORY ANALYSIS
All five (5) of the soil samples, including a duplicate, submitted for metals and inorganic
parameters either were below the laboratory method detection limits and / or met the applicable
Table 1 standards. All five (5) of the soil samples, including a duplicate, submitted for OCP
were below the laboratory method detection limits and therefore, met the applicable Table 1
standards.
Field QA/QC
The relative percent differences (“RPDs”) were calculated (where possible) for all duplicate
samples and are presented in Appendix B. The calculated RPDs for the field duplicates were
within the acceptable alert limits (100%) for metals and inorganic parameters. The RPDs for
OCP could not be calculated because both samples were not greater than five times the
laboratory detection limits.
The results of the analyses are presented in Tables 1 and 2. Laboratory Certificates of Analysis
are included in Appendix A. QA/QC data is presented in Appendix B.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the results of the laboratory analysis, all soil samples submitted for metals and
inorganic parameters and OCP met the applicable Table 1 standards and therefore, no further
environmental assessment work is warranted at this time.
For future use and environmental classification of the Site, AMEC recommends that a legal
survey shall describe the portion of the property located within 30 metres of Appleby Creek as a
separate Part.

Attention: Ms. Sam Mercado
Re:
Environmental Chemical Testing for Proposed Commercial
Development and Neighbouring Soil Stockpile
at 1215 Appleby Line, Burlington, Ontario
Dear Ms. Mercado:
As requested, we visited the above site on April 17, 2013 and picked up three samples of the on-site excavated
materials from a depth of 1 foot below the ground surface and one sample from the existing soil stockpile
immediately south of the subject property for chemical testing. It was understood that sampling and testing were
required prior to buying the property, to determine if the soil is clean.
Three samples were taken from hand dug test pits of the soil materials found immediately below the surficial
topsoil from the site. The first sample was taken in the middle of the west side of the site, the second sample was
taken in the middle of the east side and the third sample was taken in the middle of the north side. The depths
of each soil sample was at approximately 300 mm below the original ground surface. In addition, one sample
was taken from the existing soil stockpile from the neighbouring site immediately to the south.
The samples were taken to Agat Laboratories and tested against the Ministry of The Environment O. Regulation
511/09 for General and Inorganic parameters against Table 1 for residential land use. All four samples met the
requirements of the regulation for residential land use and the test results are attached. The soil samples are
therefore clean for the tests carried out, and the excavated materials can be disposed of at any landfill site if
necessary, subject to any other limitations of specific landfill sites.
We trust that this report meets your requirement. Should you have any questions, please call the undersigned.
Yours very truly,
