3 Page Introduction 1.1 General DST Consulting Engineers Inc. (DST) was retained by Bernard Benoit Project Management Inc. (BBPM, the Client ) on behalf of the Centre Multiservices Francophone de l Ouest d Ottawa (CMFO) to provide an update of a previously completed Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) associated with the proposed future development of the property located at 2720 Richmond Road (the Site ) in. The purpose of the was to: (1) review previous completed Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) report pertaining to the property; (2) compare previous laboratory data to updated provincial analytical guidelines; and (3) provide recommendations based on the comparison of updated provincial guidelines, and the conclusions of the previous Phase II ESA. This should be read and interpreted in conjunction with the following report: 1. Phase II Environmental Site Assessment, 2720 Richmond Road,. DST Consulting Engineers Inc., February JOB NO. OE-OT Background Information Key findings of the above referenced report are as follows: DST Consulting Engineers Inc., 2008 A total of four (4) boreholes (BHMW1 to BHMW4) were advanced by DST between February 4 and 6, Three (3) of the boreholes were advanced to a depth of approximately 10 metres below surface grade (mbsg) through overburden soils (fill over sandy silt and silty clay). The fourth borehole was advanced until the inferred depth of bedrock ( 11.2 m) and followed by bedrock coring of approximately 4.0 m (total depth of 15.2 mbsg). instrumented with monitoring wells; All boreholes were A total of ten (10) soil samples were submitted for laboratory analysis for metals, petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC) F1-F4, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from BHMW1 to BHMW4; In addition, two (2) concrete samples (Conc A and Conc B) were collected from the basement of the building, an enclosure surrounding an aboveground storage tank (AST). Both concrete samples were submitted for laboratory analysis of PAHs and Conc B was also submitted for PHCs F2-F4 analysis; All soil (and concrete) analytical results met the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) standards outlined in the MOE document entitled Soil, Groundwater and Sediments for Use Under Part

4 Page 1-2 XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act., March The Site Condition Standards (2004) Full Depth Generic Conditions in a Non-Potable Groundwater Condition for Residential/Parkland/Institutional Property Use; Seven (7) groundwater samples including two (2) QA/QC blind duplicates (DUP and D UP 2) were obtained from on-site monitoring wells (BHMW1/RM BHMW1, BHMW2/RM BHMW2, BHMW3, BHMW4/RM BHMW4) between February 7 and 19, 2008; The groundwater samples were submitted to the laboratory for chemical analysis of PHC F1- F4/ BTEX (BHMW1, DUP, RM BHMW2, BHMW3 and RM BHMW4), PAHs (BHMW1 and RM BHMW2) and metals (RM BHMW1, DUP 2, RM BHMW2, BHMW3 and RM BHMW4); All groundwater samples met the MOE Criteria (March 2004) for all property uses in a non-potable groundwater condition; and, Based on the results of the Phase II ESA, no further work is required, since soil and groundwater concentrations were below provincial standards for residential/parkland/commercial/industrial land uses. 1.3 Site Description The Site is located on the south-east side of Richmond Road between Carling Avenue and Pinecrest Road in. The legal description of the Site is: Part of Lot 21, Concession 2, Ottawa Front, as in NP64442 and Lots 488 and 489 on Plan 348, save and except Part 22 on Plan 4R-346, City of Ottawa PIN The Site is approximately trapezoidal-shaped, 2.31 ha in area, with a frontage of m along Richmond Road and a maximum depth of approximately 203 m along its east side property boundary (Ref. Property Information obtained from City of Ottawa e-map). Vehicular access to the Site is via a U-shaped asphalt driveway from Richmond Road. Major Site features include a three-storey building (main building) and a one-storey slab-on-grade building (annex building). The immediate areas surrounding the buildings are covered by asphalt pavement followed by green spaces. The subject area is fully serviced with sewer, hydro, water and gas utilities. Groundwater is not used as a drinking water source at the Site or surrounding area.

5 Page Environmental Quality Guidelines Soil and groundwater analytical results were compared with the applicable provincial standards, as set out in the following documents: Soil: Groundwater: Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) Soil, Groundwater and Sediment Standards for Use under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act, March 2004, : Full Depth Generic Site Condition Standards (SCS) for soil in a Non -Potable Groundwater Condition, Residential/ Parkland/ Institutional Property Use, Coarse Textured Soil; and, Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) Soil, Groundwater and Sediment Standards for Use under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act, April 2011, : Full Depth Generic Site Condition Standards (SCS) for soil in a Non -Potable Groundwater Condition, Residential/ Parkland/ Institutional Property Use, Coarse Textured Soil. Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) Soil, Groundwater and Sediment Standards for Use under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act, March 2004, : Full Depth Generic Site Condition Standards (SCS) for soil in a Non -Potable Groundwater Condition, Residential/ Parkland/ Institutional Property Use, Coarse Textured Soil; and, Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) Soil, Ground Water and Sediment Standards for Use Under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act", April 2011, : Full Depth Generic Site Condition Standards (SCS) for groundwater in a Non -Potable Groundwater Condition. All Types of Property Use, Coarse Textured Soil.

6 Page Results 3.1 Soil Analytical Results Detailed analytical results and comparison to applicable provincial criteria are presented in Table 1 through 6, Appendix A. All soil samples submitted for laboratory analyses of PHCs, metals and PAHs were below the applicable 2004 and 2011 MOE guideline criteria. 3.2 Groundwater Analytical Results All groundwater samples submitted for laboratory analyses of PHCs, metals and PAHs were below the applicable 2004 MOE guideline criteria. Petroleum Hydrocarbons (PHCs) Groundwater sample BHMW3 reported an exceedance above 2011 MOE guideline criteria for PHCs F3. A concentration of 700 µg/l was reported, which is in excess of the MOE guideline criteria of 500 µg/l. All remaining groundwater analytical results submitted to laboratory analysis for PHCs, metals and PAHs were below the applicable 2011 MOE guideline criteria.

7 Page Recommendations 4.1 Recommendations Based on the findings of the, DST recommends that the groundwater be resampled from BHMW3 to determine whether or not PHCs persist in groundwater in level exceeding current applicable criteria. DST is currently in the process re-sampling of the groundwater from BHMW3. Upon receipt of the laboratory results, DST will provide a letter report stating the findings and conclusions.
