G E1 1.0 INTRODUCTION This report presents our recommendations for a groundwater monitoring program and mitigation measures in support of a proposed residential development. The property is located on Part of Lot 30, Concession 11 in the Former Township of Otonabee and is herein referred to as the Site. Geo-Logic Inc. (Geo-Logic) was retained by Safe Harbour Development Limited to propose a groundwater monitoring and mitigation program. The work conducted for this investigation was carried out under the authorization of Mr. Mike Steplock in accordance with our proposal dated April 16, BACKGROUND The proposed residential development is situated along the east side of Television Road and south of Old Norwood Road. The location of the Site relative to nearby roads and watercourses is illustrated on the Vicinity Plan, Plate 1. The plan has been compiled from Energy, Mines and Resources' map 31 D/8 dated 1985 (air photography is dated 1981) at a scale of 1:50,000. More specific ground surface characteristics are depicted on the Site Plan, Plate 2 that has been produced from Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Ontario Base Mapping sheet published in 2002 (air photography 1993), at a scale of 1:10,000. The surrounding features were observed to be residential homes to the north, east and west. To the south is an industrial asphalt-processing pit for Lafarge.

4 Proposed Groundwater Monitoring Program Proposed Residential Development Part of Lot 30, Concession 11 Former Township of Otonabee, County of Peterborough Project N0. G023286E1 Geo-Logic Inc. 3.0 PROJECT DETAILS The proposed residential development is to be municipally serviced for water and sanitary services. Existing surrounding properties are privately serviced by onsite wells and septic systems. The purpose of the proposed groundwater monitoring program is to evaluate potential impacts to the neighboring private well water supplies arising from the development of the site. This requires characterization of the local groundwater supply with respect to groundwater availability and groundwater quality characteristics prior to development of the site and implementation of a monitoring program during construction and post development. In order to provide a baseline of current water supply groundwater characteristics a water well survey and representative groundwater sampling program was conducted of neighboring properties inn January Proposed future monitoring and sampling events are reviewed later in this report. 4.1 GENERAL 4.0 HYDROGEOLOGY Information regarding groundwater characteristics of the immediate area was obtained from an inventory of well records on file with the MOE (Appendix A). In total, twenty-eight (28) water wells have been identified within close proximity to the Site and the data for these wells has been summarized below in Table 1. The inventory included well records for (Lots 30 and 31, Concession 11 of the former geographic Township of Otonabee) within the County of Peterborough. 2

5 Proposed Groundwater Monitoring Program Proposed Residential Development Part of Lot 30, Concession 11 Former Township of Otonabee, County of Peterborough Project N0. G023286E1 Geo-Logic Inc. 4.2 EXISTING LOCAL WATER SUPPLIES The MOE well records and information collected during the well survey indicates the presence of two (2) principal aquifer systems: 1. An unconfined, relatively shallow water table system within the buried gravel and sand layers tapped by shallow drilled and dug (from well survey) overburden wells; and, 2. A deep aquifer within the bedrock fractures tapped by drilled wells MOE Data The MOE well records only present information for drilled wells in this area. It is possible that the existing shallow wells predate the requirement for a well record. A summary of the MOE data is presented in Table 1. The information from the MOE data indicates that of the drilled wells, 7 percent were overburden wells and 93 percent were bedrock wells. One (1) of the wells reported in the MOE records were indicated to be dry and one well was reported to have unknown water with the rest being reported as fresh water. The average values in Table 1 show the drilled overburden wells (unconfined) are the shallowest wells, followed by drilled bedrock wells. Based on the average values, the wells of the area provide moderate to excellent groundwater yields of generally fresh groundwater. 3

L/min represents litres per minute, Igpm indicates Imperial gallons per minute and m is metres Water Well Survey A door-to-door well survey of homes located nearest to the Site along Television Road and Old Norwood Road was conducted on December 20 and 23, 2010 and January 11 and 15, Eighteen homes were surveyed with ten (10) homes providing information to supplement the MOE well record data. All other residents were not able or did not want to participate. The location of the homeowner s contacted during the door-to-door survey is shown on the Plot Plan, Plate 3. 4

7 Proposed Groundwater Monitoring Program Proposed Residential Development Part of Lot 30, Concession 11 Former Township of Otonabee, County of Peterborough Project N0. G023286E1 Geo-Logic Inc. The issue raised by three (3) residents was that approximately ten years ago three of the residents had their wells run dry during the summer months in a dry spell. Other than that instance, no other issues relating to quantity or quality were raised during the well survey. The well survey information is provided in Appendix B. All wells surveyed were relatively shallow dug wells with good yields according to respondents of the survey. In general, bored/dug wells are susceptible to shallow sources of contamination. These types of shallow wells are also susceptible to large seasonal fluctuations in the groundwater. Shallow wells are more prone to becoming dry in the winter and summer months. It is concluded that these shallow well types will not provide reliable long term supplies of potable water. Based on the MOE well data and well survey, the hydrogeology of the site is characterized by hilly topography, a shallow unconfined water table within the gravel and sand deposits with an inferred groundwater flow direction of southeast and a deeper bedrock aquifer regime that is tapped by the majority of the wells in the MOE well records. Only a minor portion of the existing infiltration is expected to recharge the deeper bedrock aquifer complexes that are confined within the fracture networks. Surface water is expected to infiltrate into the shallow overburden that supports the local dug/bored wells and ponds and creeks. 4.3 BACKGROUND GROUNDWATER QUALITY Samples of the groundwater were obtained from five (5) dug wells for the purpose of chemical analyses from the residents along Old Norwood Road and Television Road. The Certificates of of the testing are presented in Appendix C. The data is summarized and compared with the Ontario Drinking Water Standards (ODWS) in Table 2. In general, the majority of the general chemistry parameters tested for from the dug wells are within the ODWS. Exceptions were: Elevated hardness, sodium and total dissolved solids at 2531 Television Road; 5

8 Proposed Groundwater Monitoring Program Proposed Residential Development Part of Lot 30, Concession 11 Former Township of Otonabee, County of Peterborough Project N0. G023286E1 Geo-Logic Inc. Elevated hardness, sodium, chloride, total dissolved solids and total coliform at 2535 Television Road; Elevated hardness, sodium, chloride and total dissolved solids at 2527 Television Road Elevated hardness, sodium and total dissolved solids at 2313 Old Norwood Road; and Elevated hardness at 2383 Old Norwood Road. The groundwater in the area appears to be hard likely related to the overburden materials containing calcium and to a lesser extent, magnesium. Turbidity in the water can increase over time due to iron precipitating from the sample. This is typical of a groundwater sample with elevated iron to observe elevated turbidity as the iron precipitates from the sample before it can be analyzed at the laboratory. Hardness is caused by dissolved calcium and magnesium, and is expressed as the equivalent quantity of calcium carbonate. Hardness is a common trait of groundwater supplies in Ontario due to naturally occurring minerals within the calcareous glacial tills. Water supplies like the one at this property with hardness above 200 are considered poor but tolerable. Hardness can readily be treated through the use of a commercial water softener. Some of the sodium levels are less than the ODWS aesthetic objective of 200 mg/l, but greater than 20 mg/l. At concentrations greater then 20 mg/l consumers need to be made aware of the sodium levels for those on sodium restricted diets. The local Medical Officer of Health should be notified when the sodium concentration exceeds 20 mg/l. Softening using a domestic water softener increases the sodium level in drinking water and may contribute a significant percentage to the daily sodium intake for a consumer on a sodium restricted diet. Elevated chloride in the water system is compared to the AO value of 250 mg/l. Chloride is a common material present in small amounts in drinking water and produces a detectable salty taste at the AO level of 250 mg/l. Chloride is widely distributed in nature, generally as sodium (NaCl), potassium (KCl), and calcium (CaCl 2 ) salts. 6

9 Proposed Groundwater Monitoring Program Proposed Residential Development Part of Lot 30, Concession 11 Former Township of Otonabee, County of Peterborough Project N0. G023286E1 Geo-Logic Inc. Elevated concentrations of total dissolved solids (TDS) greater than the AO of 500 mg/l were reported. The principal constituents of TDS are chloride, sulphates, calcium, magnesium and bicarbonates. The effects of TDS on drinking water quality depend on the levels of the individual components. Excessive hardness, taste, mineral deposition or corrosion are common properties of highly mineralized water in southern Ontario. The maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) of total coliform (TC) in drinking water is 0 cfu/100ml or not detectable. Elevated TC values were obtained from one well, 2535 Television Rd., the residents were made aware of the results and indicated they would follow-up with the Health Unit. Detectable TC is common in shallow groundwater supplies. The presence of E.Coli was not reported in any of the samples collected.

10 Proposed Groundwater Monitoring Program Proposed Residential Development Part of Lot 30, Concession 11 Former Township of Otonabee, County of Peterborough Project N0. G023286E1 Geo-Logic Inc. 5.0 PROPOSED MONITORING PROGRAM Geo-Logic Inc. proposes the following groundwater monitoring program for Old Norwood Road and Television Road. The purpose of the groundwater monitoring program is to confirm that future construction work does not impact the quantity and quality of the neighbouring private well water. The following scope of work should be carried out as part of the groundwater monitoring program: 1. Collect water level measurements from participating properties every other month until the start of construction. An additional water sample should be collected during the summer months, or prior to construction, as part of the baseline monitoring and analyzed for general chemistry and microbiological parameters. 2. Continue water level measurements during the construction activities. The frequency is dependent on the construction work to be completed. Initially it is recommended that weekly water leveling monitoring circuit s occur. The frequency of monitoring may be reduced after a period of 4 to 6 weeks depending on the data obtained to once every two weeks. 3. During periods of deep excavation work such as service installation it is recommended that weekly water leveling monitoring circuit s occur. 4. Following the completion of the construction work, Geo-Logic recommends that a final round of groundwater levels are collected and that a final water sample is also collected from the identified locations for analysis for general water and bacteriological parameters. 8

11 Proposed Groundwater Monitoring Program Proposed Residential Development Part of Lot 30, Concession 11 Former Township of Otonabee, County of Peterborough Project N0. G023286E1 Geo-Logic Inc. 6.0 MITIGATION MEASURES 6.1 DEVELOPMENT Mitigative techniques are recommended in order to address concerns relating to the potential for impact to the base flow through the site. The impact and mitigation measures can be arranged into two (2) distinct categories: construction phase and operational phase. During the course of the planned construction, there is the possibility of silt or other fine-grained soil particles becoming mobile and entering drainage channels during the construction phase of development. Prior to construction, storm water management techniques will control additional surface water runoff and permit enhanced infiltration into the surrounding ground. This will minimize the potential for groundwater impact and also minimize the amount of runoff. The installation of strategically placed silt fences will filter any excess storm water runoff prior to entering the infiltration areas. In order to minimize the potential impact of the buried services on the existing shallow groundwater regime, it is considered prudent to incorporate the construction of drainage barriers (trench plugs) in the design of the systems. The barriers should consist of a lean concrete mix placed at specified manhole locations. The location of the trench plugs should be reviewed with Geo-Logic at the design stage. A portion of the storm water could be directed to subsurface infiltration blankets or infiltration trenches. This would permit a more natural attenuation of precipitation. The infiltration blankets should be constructed as depressional structures lined with a non-woven geotextile and infilled with clear stone backfill. This would maximize the infiltration capability of the structures while minimizing long-term maintenance. 9

12 Proposed Groundwater Monitoring Program Proposed Residential Development Part of Lot 30, Concession 11 Former Township of Otonabee, County of Peterborough Project N0. G023286E1 Geo-Logic Inc. All rear roof leader drains of future buildings should be allowed to drain onto the ground surface. Swales may be required in some areas to divert the runoff water from driveways, parking lots and other structures. 6.2 MEASURED IMPACTS The following measures are proposed should observed negative impacts to the local water supply or complaints be received during the monitoring program: 1. Safe Harbour Development Limited shall notify the County and Municipality of any complaints arising from properties included in the well monitoring program and shall report any action which has been taken or is proposed with regard to such complaint. 2. Should the construction activities be observed to cause negative impacts to water supplies obtained from adequate sources that were in use prior to the construction activities it is proposed that Safe Harbour Development Limited shall take such action necessary to make available to those affected a supply of water equivalent in quantity and quality to their normal takings, or shall compensate such persons for their reasonable cost of doing so or shall undertake steps to prevent or alleviate the observed negative impact. Pending permanent restoration of the affected supplies Safe Harbour Development Limited shall provide to those affected temporary water supplies adequate to meet their normal requirements or shall compensate such persons for their reasonable costs in doing so. 3. If permanent interference is caused by the development activities, Safe Harbour Development Limited shall restore the water supplies of those permanently affected. 10
