4 Canada Inc. b Project #2714 Land Use Compatibility Assessment December 8, INTODUCTION Canada Inc. retained ubidium Environmental (ubidium) to prepare a Land Use Compatibility Study in support of a planning application for a proposed development at Part of Lots 19 and 20, Concession 3, Plan The proposal would introduce a sensitive land use, namely a residential subdivision, to a Living Area. At the request of Durham egion, a Land Use Compatibility Study is required which covers the environmental aspects of odour and dust emissions. The purpose of this assessment is to determine if odour, noise and dust emissions from surrounding sources might adversely impact proposed sensitive land uses within the development. This study was conducted in accordance with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) Guidelines: D-1: Land Use Compatibility D-4: Land Use On or Near Landfills and Dumps D-6: Compatibility between Industrial Facilities and Sensitive Land Uses Environmental impacts of noise were covered under a separate report from YCA Engineering Limited, dated March 2017, included in Appendix B. 1.1 Subject Site The Proponent is proposing to construct a residential subdivision on the Subject Site. This report characterizes the surrounding industrial, commercial, and municipal facilities within 1,000 metres of the site. The assessment was based on publicly available information. The subject site is shown in Figure 1. The surrounding land can be characterized as: Direction North East South West Land Uses Mixed Use: Hydro Corridor, esidential, Open Space Mixed Use: Hydro Corridor, Cemetery, esidential, Open Space Mixed Use: esidential, Open Space Mixed Use: Municipal, Landfill, Open Space ubidium Environmental Page 3

5 Canada Inc. b Project #2714 Land Use Compatibility Assessment December 8, LAND USE COMPATIBILITY GUIDANCE 2.1 Guideline D-6: Compatibility between Industrial Facilities and Sensitive Land Uses Guideline D-6 - Compatibility Between Industrial Facilities and Sensitive Land Uses, sets out three (3) distinct classes of facilities. The criterion is provided below in Table 1. Table 1. Guideline D-6 Industrial Categorization Criteria CATEGOY OUTPUTS SCALE POCESS OPEATION /INTENSITY CLASS I NOISE: Sound not audible off property DUST and /or ODOU: Infrequent and not intense VIBATION: No ground borne vibration on plant property - No outside storage - Small scale plant or scale is irrelevant in relation to all other criteria for this Class - Self-contained plant or building which produces /stores a packaged product. Low probability of fugitive emissions - Daytime operations only - Infrequent movement of products and /or heavy trucks CLASS II CLASS III NOISE: Sound occasionally audible off property DUST and /or ODOU: Frequent and occasionally intense VIBATION: Possible ground-borne vibration, but cannot be perceived off property NOISE: sound frequently audible off property DUST and /or ODOU: Persistent and /or intense VIBATION: Groundborne vibration can frequently be perceived off property - Outside storage permitted - Medium level of production allowed - Outside storage of raw and finished products - Large production levels - Open process - Periodic outputs of minor annoyance - Low probability of fugitive emissions - Open process - Frequent outputs of major annoyances - High probability of fugitive emissions - Shift operations permitted - Frequent movement of products and /or heavy trucks with the majority of movements during daytime hours - Continuous movement of products and employees - Daily shift operations permitted The study area for Land Use Compatibility Assessments are established in the D-Series Guidelines. Depending on the Facility Class categorization around the facility the potential influence area will be as set out in Table 2 below. ubidium has conservatively taken the position to review the impact from 1,000 meters around the subject site. The recommended setback distances as a function of Facility Class are also provided in Table 2. ubidium Environmental Page 4

Guideline D-6 Minimum Separation Distances and the Potential Influence Areas CLASS ECOMMENDED MINIMUM SEPAATION DISTANCE (m) POTENTIAL INFLUENCE AEA (m) I II III Further to table 2, the D-6 guideline also suggests that while separation distances are typically measured between property lines, there is an alternative which allows for measuring from a specific source to the sensitive receptor. Additionally, guideline D-6 provides allowances for reducing the minimum separation distance required based on mitigation at industrial sites and provides for exceptions to the Minimum Separation Distances for some development sites. 2.2 Guideline D-4: Land Use On or Near Landfills and Dumps Section 4.2 of Guideline D-4: Land Use On or Near Landfills and Dumps specifies seven (7) factors to be considered when land use is proposed on or near a non-operating site, including: Ground and surface water contamination by leachate Surface runoff Ground settlement Visual impact Soil contamination and hazardous waste Landfill-generate gases, particularly methane 3.0 IDENTIFIED FACILITIES WITH POTENTIAL IMPACTS The 1,000 m study area surrounding the proposed residential subdivision is partially developed with predominantly open land and residential developments, as well as municipal. Table 3 below provides a summary of the surrounding land uses, the nature of their operations, and if any potential conflicts exist. ubidium Environmental Page 5

The facility operates an aggregate storage facility that is likely, or has the potential to have an adverse impact resulting from dust emissions, on the proposed sensitive land use. A high-density residential subdivision is located adjacent to the City of Pickering Operations Centre, and would be more adversely impacted than the proposed residential subdivision. It is anticipated that the approved residential development adjacent to the City of Pickering Operations Centre is not adversely impacted, and so the proposed residential subdivision will not be adversely impacted either because it is a further distance from the City of Pickering Operations Centre. A search of the MOECC s Access Environment Database, and the Environmental egistry, indicated that the facility has no Environmental Approvals for air emissions. It is possible that the facility has not yet applied for an ECA or EAS. Anticipated operations at the facility are likely to include aggregate storage and infrequent movement of vehicles. Given the facility s obligations to comply with point of impingement (POI) air quality standards under O.eg 419/05, dust is not likely to be a concern. Odour concerns are not anticipated from this facility given the nature of its operations. 4.2 Commercial Facilities No Commercial facilities were identified as potentially, or likely to have an adverse impact as a result of this proposed sensitive land use. ubidium Environmental Page 6

8 Canada Inc. b Project #2714 Land Use Compatibility Assessment December 8, Other Facilities The Brock West Landfill was identified approximately 400m west of the Subject Site. The landfill was operated between the 1970 s and 1990 s, closing in 1997, accepting municipal solid waste from the City of Toronto, as well as sewage sludge. Of the seven factors to consider listed in Section 2.2, only the visual impact and migration of landfill gases are expected to potentially impact neighbouring land uses. The landfill is surrounded by berms to block the line of sight to the landfill, effectively preventing adverse visual impacts to nearby land uses. A transcript from the Standing Committee on Social Development, attached in Appendix C, state that odour issues are under control. Additionally, existing high-density residential developments are within a comparable distance to the landfill, indicating that the proposed residential sensitive land use will not be more adversely impacted than the existing residential sensitive land uses. For these reasons, it is not expected that the Brock West Landfill will have an adverse impact on the proposed residential subdivision. 5.0 SUMMAY OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND CONCLUSIONS Based on the assessment of the industrial/commercial/municipal land uses in the vicinity of the subject property, the MOE s D-4 and D-6 Guidelines, neighbouring facilities do not have the potential for adverse impacts to the proposed residential subdivision. Actions are not required to mitigate the odour or dust impacts from surrounding properties. As a result, the proposed residential subdivision can be supported at the subject site. This is consistent with the other sensitive land uses located in proximity to the development. ubidium Environmental Page 7

17 1.0 INTODUCTION PUPOSE A residential development has been proposed by Stonepay Canada Inc. in the City of Pickering. This report is an analysis of future sound levels within the proposed development and describes the types and locations of noise mitigation measures which will be required. SITE DESCIPTION AND LOCATION This development will consist of townhouse blocks, a Village Green, a Parkette and local roads located 150m west of Brock oad at approximately 150m north of Concession oad 3/ossland oad in the City of Pickering. The surrounding land uses are existing residential developments, a hydro corridor and an existing commercial development to the north, proposed commercial developments to the east, existing residential development south of Concession oad 3 and proposed residential development to the west. KEY PLAN The location of the proposed development is further indicated by the Key Plan below. Stonepay Development - Pickering 1 Environmental Noise Assessment

18 2.0 SOUND LEVEL CITEIA OUTDOO SOUND LEVEL CITEIA Outdoor Activity Areas (7 a.m. 11 p.m.) 16 Hr. Leq. = 55 dba If daytime outdoor sound levels at the backyards (outdoor activity areas) of residential areas exceed 60 dba, physical noise attenuation measures such as acoustical fences, increased building setbacks or reorientation of dwellings and lots must be employed to reduce the sound levels. In some cases, outdoor sound levels may be allowed to exceed the above criteria by a maximum of 5 dba. If such excesses occur, purchasers must be informed of the existence of potentially annoying sound levels by means of warning clauses registered on title. INDOO SOUND LEVEL CITEIA Living and Dining Area (7 a.m. 11 p.m.) 16 Hr. Leq. = 45 dba oads, 40 dba ailways Bedrooms (11 p.m. 7 a.m.) 8 Hr. Leq. = 40 dba oads, 35 dba ailways Appropriate building components such as walls, doors and windows are chosen with reference to the following. If daytime sound levels at the external dwelling walls are 65 dba or less (roadways), and 60 dba or less (railways), then the indoor sound level criteria described above will be achieved using standard (Ontario Building Code) construction methods and building components. If night-time sound levels are 60 dba or less (roadways) and 55 dba or less (railways), standard construction methods and building components can be utilized. If the external sound levels exceed the above criteria, then components having extra sound insulation properties may be required. Ventilation requirements are determined with reference to the following. If night-time sound levels at the bedroom window of a dwelling unit are in the range of 50 to 60 dba, the ventilation system must be designed to allow the optional installation of central air conditioning at the owner s discretion. If night-time sound levels are greater than 60 dba, central air conditioning must be installed. If daytime sound levels at the living room/dining room windows are in the range of 55 to 65 dba, the ventilation system must be designed to allow optional installation of central air conditioning. For daytime sound levels greater than 65 dba, central air conditioning must be installed. STATIONAY NOISE SOUCES As per the M.O.E.C.C. guidelines (Publication NPC-300), the noise produced by a stationary source at the plane of window for noise sensitive spaces is the energy equivalent sound level (L EQ ), 50 dba during daytime and evening time ( ) or 45 dba during night-time ( ). For outdoor receptors, the energy equivalent sound level (L EQ ) is 50 dba during daytime ( ) or 45 dba during night-time ( ). Stonepay Development - Pickering 2 Environmental Noise Assessment

19 3.0 NOISE SOUCES OAD TAFFIC The proposed residential development will be located at approximately 150m west of Brock oad, approximately 150m north of Third Concession oad/ ossland oad. Tillings oad Extension is along the west of the development, Valley Farm Extension will be through the proposed residential development extending east-west and the Future oad 'A' will be along the east of the development as indicated on DWG Y1539. Therefore, noise generated by Brock oad, Third Concession oad, Valley Farm Extension, Tillings oad Extension and the Future oad 'A' have the potential to affect future residents. All other roads within this site are local roadways. Due to distance separation and low traffic volumes, all other roads are considered acoustically insignificant. Traffic volume information for Brock oad and Third Concession oad was obtained from the egion of Durham dated December 2015 and is summarized in Tables 1 and 2 below: TABLE 1: BOCK OAD TAFFIC DATA Projected Annual Average Daily Traffic * 40,000 Percent Trucks 15% Heavy and Medium trucks ratio 65:35 Speed (km/hr) 60 Number of Lanes 6 TABLE 2: THID CONCESSION OAD TAFFIC DATA Projected Annual Average Daily Traffic * 27,000 Percent Trucks 10% Heavy and Medium trucks ratio 70:30 Speed (km/hr) 60 Number of Lanes 4 * The projected traffic data provided by the egion of Durham. The ultimate traffic information for Valley Farm Extension and Tillings oad Extension was not available at the egion of Durham although it is considered a collector road based on the Durham egional Official Plan. Therefore, for noise analysis purposes similar traffic data as the typical collector road has been assumed. TABLE 3: VALLEY FAM/TILLINGS OAD EXTENSION TAFFIC DATA Projected Annual Average Daily Traffic ** 10,000 Percent Trucks 7% Heavy and Medium trucks ratio 50:50 Speed (km/hr) 50 Number of Lanes 2 ** The projected traffic data based on ultimate development assumed to be similar to the typical collector road data. Stonepay Development - Pickering 3 Environmental Noise Assessment

20 The Future oad 'A' is expected to be a collector road. Therefore, for noise analysis purposes similar traffic data as the typical collector road has been assumed. TABLE 4: FUTUE OAD 'A' TAFFIC DATA Projected Annual Average Daily Traffic *** 6,000 Percent Trucks 5% Heavy and Medium trucks ratio 50:50 Speed (km/hr) 50 Number of Lanes 2 *** The projected traffic data based on ultimate development assumed to be similar to the typical collector road data. AIL TAFFIC The Canadian Pacific ailway is located approximately 1km from the proposed development. Due to distance separation, the noise impact from the railway is considered acoustically insignificant. In addition, all residential units are more than 300m from the CP ailway right-of-way and more than 75m from the ailway tracks. Therefore, a warning clause and a vibration study are not required. AICAFT TAFFIC Due to the proximity of the future Pickering Airport, the proposed residential development has been verified and the proposed site is outside the NEF 25 Noise Contour Line. The noise contour line map for the future Pickering Airport is included in Appendix 1. POPOSED COMMECIAL DEVELOPMENT A Commercial Block is proposed to the east of the development at the southwest corner of Brock oad and Valley Farm Extension. The proposed commercial is expected to consist of retail/restaurants buildings and a grocery store. A separate noise study has been prepared to determine the noise impacts on the adjacent proposed residential developments and noise mitigation measures have been addressed as part of the Commercial Site Plan Approval process. Additional commercial developments are proposed to the northeast, Further investigation is recommended to assess the noise impacts on the proposed residential development at the time of site plan approval stage. EXISTING COMMECIAL DEVELOPMENT City of Pickering Operations Centre is located at approximately 200m to the northwest of the proposed residential development with daytime and evening operation hours. An existing landscape/ garden centre is located east of Brock oad at approximately 200m with daytime and evening operation hours. Therefore, due to distance separation, nature of the commercial activities and high ambient noise due to Brock oad the noise impact from these commercial developments is considered acoustically insignificant. Stonepay Development - Pickering 4 Environmental Noise Assessment

21 4.0 NOISE ASSESSMENT Drawing DWG Y1539 is based on the latest Draft Plan dated February 2017 showing various noise analysis locations and noise mitigation measures within the proposed residential development. Sound levels were calculated using the Ministry of Environment s Stamson 5.04 computer based noise prediction model. The noise criteria and warning clauses are listed in Appendix 3. Table 5 lists the unattenuated sound levels at various locations. TABLE 5: UNATTENUATED SOUND LEVELS LOCATIONS DISTANCE TO CENTELINE OF OAD (m) Building 3 Front Wall DAYTIME (16 Hr.

22 5.0 ECOMMENDED NOISE MITIGATION MEASUES 5.1 OUTDOO MEASUES Based on the architectural plans and the draft plan, there are no designated outdoor amenity areas for this residential development. Private Balconies are located outside some of the unites. According to M.O.E.C.C. policy (Publication NPC-300), balconies that have a maximum depth of less than 4 metres are not considered to be outdoor living areas. Based on site plan, the proposed buildings will incorporate balconies having a depth of less than 4 metres. For this reason, the balconies were not assessed as outdoor living areas for the proposed development. However, the Village Green and the Parkette were analyzed as possible common outdoor amenity areas for the development. Based on the sound level results in Table 5, the daytime outdoor amenity area sound levels at the Village Green and the Parkette (Block 6) are expected to be below 60 dba due to road traffic in the absence of mitigative measures. Therefore, noise mitigation measures are not required for the Village Green and Parkettes. 5.2 VENTILATION EQUIEMENTS Ventilation requirements were determined using the sound levels at the building facades listed in Table 5. MANDATOY CENTAL AI CONDITIONES Based on the information in Table 5, mandatory central air conditioning is not required for any residential units within this development as the daytime sound levels are expected to be below 65dBA and the nighttime sound levels are expected to be less than 60 dba. POVISION FO CENTAL AI CONDITIONES The following units must be constructed with a forced air heating system with ducting sized to accommodate a central air conditioning unit, in order to allow the homeowner the option of installing central air conditioning should he or she wish to do so in the future as per Table 5 sound level results: Buildings 1 to 5, 9, 16, 17, 20, 21 to 25, 33 to 37 and 41 (All Units) The following warning clause Type C must be incorporated into the Development Agreement, which will be registered on title and should be included in all offers of purchase, sale and lease of the above dwelling units: Stonepay Development - Pickering 6 Environmental Noise Assessment

23 Warning Clause Type C: "This dwelling unit has been designated with the provision for adding central air conditioning at the occupant's discretion. Installation of central air conditioning by the occupant will allow windows and exterior doors to remain closed, thereby ensuring that the indoor sound levels are within the sound level limits of the Municipality and the Ministry of the Environment and climate change." 5.3 BUILDING COMPONENTS Building components within the proposed development were analyzed using the STC (Sound Transmission Class) method recommended by the M.O.E.C.C. Detailed floor plans of the proposed dwelling units are required in order to best determine the required building components. Although this information is not yet available for the proposed development, the result is based on the assumption that a living, dining or recreation room is located at the side of the house closest to the roadway and contains three components (two exterior walls and a set of windows). The windows are assumed to be 25% of the floor area and the same side exterior walls are assumed to be 80% of the floor area. DAYTIME SOUND LEVELS For the worst case location during daytime, (Building 21) the daytime dwelling wall sound level of dba was calculated at the first storey living/dining room. To ensure acceptable daytime indoor sound levels of 45dBA from road noise sources, the overall building components must provide an STC rating of 27 for windows and STC 34 for exterior wall construction. NIGHT-TIME SOUND LEVELS For the worst case location during night-time, (Building 21) the night-time dwelling wall sound level of dba was calculated at the second storey bedroom. To ensure acceptable night-time indoor sound levels of 40dBA from road noise sources, the overall building components must provide an STC rating of 25 for windows and STC 32 for exterior wall construction. BUILDING COMPONENT EQUIEMENTS The minimum standard window and exterior wall construction of the Ontario Building Code meets STC 30 and STC 38, respectively. Therefore, standard OBC windows and exterior walls are sufficient for all residential units to meet the indoor sound levels. Stonepay Development - Pickering 7 Environmental Noise Assessment

24 WINDOWS The following are some window configurations meeting an STC rating of 27, assuming the ratio of window area to room floor area is 25%: double glazing 3mm x 3mm thickness with 13mm air space or double glazing 4mm x 4mm thickness with 6mm air space or any other window type yielding a similar or greater STC rating EXTEIO WALLS The following exterior wall construction EW5 meets more than the STC 34 rating, assuming a ratio of wall area to room floor area of 80%: EW5 12.7mm gypsum board, vapour barrier and 38 x 89mm studs with 50mm (or thicker) mineral wool or fiberglass batts in interstud cavities, plus sheathing, 25mm air space and 100mm brick veneer. Sample window and exterior wall configurations have been provided in Appendix WANING CLAUSES The following warning clause Type A must be incorporated into the Development Agreement, which will be registered on title and included in all offers of purchase and sale or lease of the dwelling units listed below. Buildings 1 to 5, 9, 16, 17, 20 to 25, 33 to 41 (All Units) Warning Clause Type A Purchasers/tenants are advised that sound levels due to increasing road traffic, existing/future commercial developments and the hydro corridor may occasionally interfere with some activities of the dwelling occupants as the sound levels exceed the sound level limits of the Municipality and the Ministry of Environment and climate change."

26 7.0 ECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION ECOMMENDATIONS 1. Provision for adding central air conditioning in the future for Buildings 1 to 5, 9, 16, 17, 20 to 25 and 33 to 37 and 41 (All Units). 2. For all dwelling units within the proposed residential development, standard Ontario Building Construction will be acoustically acceptable for the exterior wall and window constructions. 3. It is recommended that a updated noise study to be prepared once the block numbers are available to ensure the noise requirements and warning clauses are recommended at the correct locations. 4. All applicable warning clauses shall be listed in the City of Pickering's Development Agreement and also be inserted in the Agreements of Purchase and Sale or Lease and registered on title. 5. It is recommend that a qualified engineer should submit a letter to the City indicating that the recommended measures or acceptable alternatives have been incorporated in the dwelling which satisfy the M.O.E.C.C. criteria. CONCLUSION This report has determined that sound levels acceptable to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, City of Pickering and the egion of Durham are expected to be achieved using the abatement measures in this report and as shown on the attached Drawing DWG Y1539. espectfully submitted, YCA ENGINEEING Limited Hava Jouharchi, P.Eng.
