5 Northridge Property Management Inc. iii Executive Summary This Compatible Use Noise, Dust, and Odour Study reviewed the potential noise, dust, and odour impacts on the proposed development of a residential subdivision in the City of Owen Sound. Northridge Property Management Inc. proposes to re-develop a 15.6 hectares (38.5 acres) property located between East Bayshore Road, 32 nd Street East and 9 th Avenue East. The subject site is the location of the former RCA industrial building whose address was 3195 East Bayshore Road, Owen Sound, Ontario. The property has been designated Residential to provide for the proposed development. There are several potential sources of noise, dust, and odour identified and assessed. Those sources include the vehicle traffic on East Bayshore road to the west, tenants in the commercial mall to the north, the McArthur Tire Retread Facility (MacArthur) to the east, and the Hobart Manufacturing facility to the south. The tenants in the commercial mall to the north are not expected to have any significant impacts. The McArthur facility could have noise impacts that need mitigation, but no significant dust or odour impacts. The Hobart facility is not expected to have any significant noise, dust or odour impacts. The Alpha Precast facility is not expected to have any significant noise, dust or odour impacts. The noise impact from traffic on East Bayshore is expected to show compliance at all locations 30 m from East Bayshore Road and further. A Noise Impact Study should be completed to confirm the assumptions made in this assessment as part of the detailed design. The preliminary design for the houses along East Bayshore Road is to have those properties facing East Bayshore Road. Noise statements could be included in the purchase agreement. The noise impact from McArthur dust collector may be audible and slightly above criteria. A Noise Impact Study should be completed to more accurately assess the impact of the dust collector on the potential residents once better sound levels have been determined and as part of the detailed design for Phase 2, 3 and 5. The best mitigation option is likely the installation of a silencer on the source or an agreement to limit operations but noise barriers could be helpful if the installation of a silencer is not possible. All these options would be investigated as part of the detailed design associated with Phase 2, 3 and 5 because the noise impact from the MacArthur facility is localized to that area. Because the area is now zoned for residential use, any future industrial development will be required to meet all MOECC noise criteria at the residentially zoned property. Overall, there are not expected to be any significant odour or dust impacts from local roads or industry. The noise impacts from most facilities are expected to be minimal.

6 Northridge Property Management Inc. iv The noise from MacArthur is likely to adversely impact the Phase 2, 4 and 5 of the proposed development but mitigation using a silencer is likely to be easily achievable. If not, there are other potential mitigation measures that can be explored. This further investigation is warranted as part of the detailed design for Phase 2.

10 Northridge Property Management Inc Introduction This report is an assessment of the issues related to compatible land use of the existing commercial and industrial facilities on the proposed residential development located between East Bayshore Road, 32 nd Street East and 9 th Avenue East (the Subject Property ). Some of the values used in this report are estimated because the data was not available. The estimates are listed and justifications for those estimates provided. 2.0 Site Description The proposed development is located on the east side of Bayshore Road and are known municipally as East Bayshore Road and are legally described as Plan 838, Lot 53 & 54, Part Lot 7 and are approximately hectares (38.3 acres) in size. The location of the property is shown in Figure Potential Source Industry Identification The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) 1 document Guideline D-6 Compatibility between Industrial Facilities and Sensitive Land Uses, dated July 1995 (Guideline D-6) provides a methodology for assessing whether a proposed new land use will be compatible with existing land uses. The wording of the request from the City of Owen Sound matches the text in the D-6 guidance document. Figure 2 shows an aerial view of the property. A dashed line on Figure 2 indicates the area within 500 m of the property boundary. Documentation is provided in Appendix B that indicates this property has been designated Residential in the City of Owen Sound Official Plan and zoned R3 residential in A total of eight (8) different facilities were identified within 500 m of the subject property. Each facility is numbered on Figure 2 and listed in Table 1. There are 5 tenants at Location 2 and one facility at each of Location 3 through Location 5. Table 1 provides the address, company name, phone number, business type (and possibly the source of that assessment), the classification 2, an estimate of the distance between the property line of the Subject Property and the other property s property line, and which zone (see Table 2 below). In some cases all the information was not easily available and so the author s best estimate was used. 1 This Ministry has had many names over the time that is has been providing guidance to the province. The current name () is used to identify all documents issued by this Ministry and any of its predecessors. 2 Procedure D-1-3 LAND USE COMPATIBILITY: DEFINITIONS, Revision Date July 1995,

Influence means that the residential property is closer than the Potential Influence Area but farther than the minimum separation distance for that classification.

12 Northridge Property Management Inc. 3 The zones defined in Guideline D-6 are listed in Table 2. The minimum separation distance is the distance that would be required between the sensitive land use and the industrial facility to not require further assessment. The Potential Influence Area is the area in which an adverse impact is possible. Current practise is to assess the specific impact of the actual industrial facilities on the sensitive land use to show compatibility. Because several of the facilities have a separation distance that overlaps the development property boundary, further investigation is warranted and addressed below.

13 Northridge Property Management Inc Emissions for Selected Properties The source data about the neighbouring properties for this report was taken primarily from a brief tour of the location, Google Street View, Google Earth Aerial Photographs, and information easily obtained by searching for the address or company of the various properties. Exceptions are provided in the paragraphs below where warranted. Table 2 lists the Location Number corresponding to the sub-paragraph below. For instance, the tenants at Location 2 are discussed in section Road Traffic The Traffic Impact Study prepared by Burnside provided for 2015 the AADT on East Bayshore Road is estimated at 1,600 vpd and for 2025 (ultimate development) it is estimated at 4,100 vpd 4. The Traffic Impact Study does not provide the fraction of trucks so the percentage was estimated. The estimates are considered to be high so the calculated impacts will be very conservative. The details are provided in Tables 3 through 5. Table 3: Current Traffic Values Used in STAMSON Calculations Road Cars Med.

None of these tenants is expected to produce a significant amount of odour. The author toured the site on Tuesday March 29, 2016 and did not observe any source of odour. None of the tenants are storing raw materials or finished goods outside and none of them are expected to produce significant amounts of dust. The author toured the site on Tuesday March 29, 2016 and did not observe any source of dust. A sound level meter recorded the sound in the area which was dominated by bird song. There were several vehicles passing the location and several more entering the UPS depot. The current use for this property is a transport truck driver training. A transport truck arrived during the measurement. Removing that event from the measurement shows the vehicle traffic impact of 50 dba which is within the allowable levels. The transport truck continued to maneuver at the site during the measurement so some of the sounds generated by the truck could also be removed; therefore, this measurement is considered to have contributions that will not be there when the residences are built and so the sound level impact is expected to be less than measured. 4.3 McArthur Tire Retread Facility, 9 th Avenue E The aerial photograph of the facility does not show any significant roof exhausts. Some materials may be stored outside on the north side of the building. The author toured the site on Tuesday March 29, 2016 and did not observe any source of odour. Standing inside the building during production the author did not notice any odour. The storage area on the north side of the building contains seaway containers which will not have any dust emissions. The facility also stores some tires on the north side of the

15 Northridge Property Management Inc. 6 building which will also not have any dust emissions. Standing inside the building during production the author did not notice any dust. The parking area is gravel which could produce dust but the number of vehicles and traffic observed does not suggest that the dust produced will be significant. There is a dust collector on the west wall at the south end of the building which is tonal and clearly audible at the hydro pole across the street from the entrance. Measurements were taken at that position that indicated the sound level from 10:04 to 10:28 was 48 dba. Applying the standard MOECC tonal penalty raises the impact to 53 dba. The meter was 110 m from the dust collector. Mr. Jim Stuart of McArthur Tire Retread Facility indicated that the facility operates from 06:00 to 14:00 four days a week with no current plans to expand those operating hours. 4.4 Hobart Food Equipment Manufacturing, 2875 E Bayshore Rd The industrial building at 2875 E Bayshore Rd, Owen Sound, ON N4K 5N3 houses the Hobart Food Equipment Manufacturing facility. The roof does not show any significant roof exhausts or any outside storage. The author toured the reception area of the site on Tuesday March 29, 2016 and did not observe any source of odour. There were piles of dirt on the north side of the building that appeared to be related to landscaping and so will not have significant dust emissions. No raw materials or finished products were stored outside the building. A sound level meter recorded the sound in the area which was dominated by bird song. The Hobart facility was inaudible. The measured sound level of 43 dba is well below day and nighttime criteria. 4.5 Alpha Precast, 2795 East Bayshore Road The industrial building at 2795 East Bayshore Road does not show any significant roof exhausts. Odour is not expected from this facility. The facility stores finished concrete product outside the building. The parking and storage area are gravel. While the gravel area can generate dust and the concrete products stored outside can also produce small amounts of dust, the total dust generated is expected to be small and the distance to the closest potential residents is over 450 m so the impact is expected to be negligible. Standing at the Hobart facility, no noises were audible from the Alpha Precast facility. Trucks are expected for delivery of raw materials and removal of finished goods but the

16 Northridge Property Management Inc. 7 site is small and so the traffic will be limited. Noise is not expected to be significant from this facility.

17 Northridge Property Management Inc Impact on Points of Reception In the previous section, two sources of noise were identified as potentially impacting on the proposed development. Those sources are the local roads and McArthur Tire Retread Facility. For the identified noise sources, the source sound-power data is not corrected for distance, directional characteristics, or any other absorption effects in order to predict the sound level at the points of reception. As a result, the predicted impacts are likely higher than would be expected in reality. To estimate the impact, the model uses the following general equation: L w= L P + 20Log(r) + 11 This simplistic linear extrapolation model was used to predict the impact of the McArthur noise source on the identified POR. Note that every effort was taken in the above analysis to present the worst-case scenario. Figure 1 shows the general location of the property under consideration. The current zoning for the area is provided in Appendix B. Figure 2 shows an aerial photo of the area including the local industrial facilities. 5.1 Criteria The criteria that must be met from the impact of road noise is: Table 6: Sound Level Limit for Outdoor Living Areas (Road and Rail) 5 Time Period Leq(16) (dba) 16-hour, 07:00 23:00 55 The criteria that must be met from the impact of stationary (industrial) sources are: Table 7: Exclusion Limit Values of One-Hour Equivalent Sound Level (Leq, dba) 6 Outdoor Points of Reception Time of Day Class 2 Area 07:00 19: :00 23: MOECC NPC-300, Table C-1, page 38 6 MOECC NPC-300, Table C-2, page 38

18 Northridge Property Management Inc. 9 Table 8: Exclusion Limit Values of One-Hour Equivalent Sound Level (Leq, dba) 7 Plane of Window of Noise Sensitive Spaces Time of Day Class 2 Area 07:00 19: :00 23: :00 07:00 45 Industrial sources must meet the criteria above or the level of road noise experienced at the same location, whichever is higher. The Site is currently considered as Class 2 because the area has an acoustical environment with qualities of both urban hum and a small community. 5.2 Road Noise Impact The results predicted by the STAMSON model using the values provided in Section 4.1 are shown in Appendix A and summarized in Table 9 below. Table 9: Future STAMSON Road Impact on On-Site Sensitive Receptors Location Height Distance Day (dba) Night (dba) Along East Bayshore Road 4.5 m 22 m Along East Bayshore Road 4.5 m 15 m The STAMSON model cannot calculate impacts of roadways closer than 15 m. The results of the model indicate 55 dba during the day and 49 dba at night for any building or window 22 m from the roadway (less if further). The impact at 15 m for unobstructed view of the roadway is 58 dba during the day and 51 dba at night. Receptors at higher elevations receive higher impacts because the influence of ground attenuation is reduced. This effect is mitigated when the ground slopes substantially as in this case. Single storey buildings will experience slightly less impact than a 2-storey building at the same location. The traffic on 32 nd Street East and 9 th Avenue E will be substantially less so the residences closest to those roads will have less impact at the same distance. A Noise Impact Study should be done as part of detailed design to verify that each potential residence will meet the recommended noise criteria. The Noise Impact Study will need to include the actual orientation of each house and garage on each property. If further study shows less expected traffic, that information should also be used to produce a better estimate of the traffic on East Bayshore Road. 7 MOECC NPC-300, Table C-6, page 46

19 Northridge Property Management Inc McArthur Tire Retread Facility, 9 th Avenue E Based on the single measurement detailed in Section 4.3 and a very simplistic and conservative sound propagation model, the sound level will meet the criterion of 50 db at a distance of 150 m. The criterion of 45 dba will be met at a distance of 270 m. Both circles are shown on Figure 2. The MOECC defines night time to be from 23:00 to 07:00. Since the facility starts operation at 06:00, it is defined as operating at night so mitigation is required to show compliance. At this time, the impact has been determined based on a single off-property measurement and a simplistic model. Preliminary contact with McArthur indicates that they are willing to work with the developer to reduce the noise impact of the dust collector on the potential residences. During detailed design, a Noise Impact Study would be required. That Noise Impact Study will need to include the exact location and height of each building because each building will change the impact on buildings behind them. At the same time, a good quality noise measurement meeting the requirements of ISO 3744:2010 would be required. That measurement would include all operating conditions experienced at the facility (operation and cleaning).

20 Northridge Property Management Inc Conclusions 6.1 Odour There do not appear to be any sources of odour from commercial or industrial facilities that should prevent the proposed residents from enjoying their property. 6.2 Dust While there are two potential sources of dust within 500 m of the proposed residences, neither is expected to cause a significant impact on the proposed residences. 6.3 Noise In order for the new sensitive receptor to be acceptable, the lawfully established stationary sources must show compliance at the proposed sensitive receptor Road Noise The future road noise impact from East Bayshore Road on the development is shown in Table 9 at 22 m and 15 m. If all the outdoor living areas and windows are at least 22 m from the roadway then they will all show compliance and no mitigation measures or noise impact statements will be required. Closer buildings will require individual assessment once detailed design has been completed McArthur It is our understanding that McArthur has a valid ECA and so is considered a lawfully established stationary source. The impact of McArthur s dust collector exceeds criteria based on a single measurement and a very simplistic noise propagation model. The hours of operation are generally 06:00 to 16:00 four days a week. A Noise Impact Study should be done in the future to ensure that the impact of noise from the McArthur Facility meets criteria. That study should include accurate noise source measurements as described in ISO3744:2010, and a noise propagation model that utilizes the entire methodology. Since the facility operates from 6:00 a.m., that is considered to be during the night (i.e., until 7:00 a.m.). The developer will likely need to negotiate with the owner to implement mitigation measures so that the impact at night is below criteria. A silencer is likely the best choice of mitigation measure. An agreement from McArthur that they will not operate before 7:00 a.m. in the morning is another alternative. Some form of barrier could also be used to mitigate the impacts if a time of operation or installation of a silencer cannot meet criteria.

21 Northridge Property Management Inc. 12 This possible noise impact only applies to a portion of the proposed residential development near the McArthur facility. As such, a condition of subdivision approval can apply to those adjacent phases (2, 3, and 5) to ensure this matter is addressed prior to that part of the project being developed if McArthur is still operating at this location. 6.4 Future Industrial Development Because the area is now zoned for residential use, any future industrial development in the vicinity will be required to meet all MOECC noise criteria at the residentially zoned property.

22 Northridge Property Management Inc Recommendations 1. The road noise impact will be less than criteria for all buildings and outdoor living areas that are 22 m or more from East Bayshore Road. Once the layout of residences is finalized for Phase 1, a Noise Impact Study should be done to confirm that assessment. Buildings closer to the road will require a more in depth noise study that includes the exact location of each building. 2. Prior to implementing Phase 2, 3, or 5 of the development, negotiate with the owner of McArthur Tire Retread Facility to implement operational or mitigation measures so that the impact at night is below criteria. A more detailed Noise Impact Study should then be undertaken showing that that the residents will not be adversely affected by the dust collector at McArthur Tire Retread Facility. Detailed design information required for this study includes the exact location of each building in the influence area in that phase, and an accurate noise measurement meeting the criteria of ISO3744:2010 of all operating conditions as part of the detailed design.
