3 1.0 INTRODUCTION Golder Associates Ltd. (Golder) has been retained by Ontario Limited (Owner) to implement the Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) for the Snow Valley Landings subdivision and Black Creek Estates subdivision. Domestic waste water from the Black Creek Estates subdivision (Black Creek) is to be pumped to a Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) then treated. Effluent will be pumped back for discharge into disposal beds (Certificate amendment CLJ8). The Miller, Patterson, Landings and Black Creek development areas are serviced by the Royal Oaks (Snow Valley Landings) Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). Golder has conducted on-going groundwater quality and surface water quality monitoring requirements as specified in the EMP on the Snow Valley Landings (the Landings) subdivision located on Lots 12 and 13, Concession 7. Monitoring locations have been added to the EMP in order to establish base-line water quality at Black Creek. The development is currently under construction and discharge of treated effluent at that site has not yet commenced. The subdivisions are serviced with municipal water supplied by the Snow Valley municipal water supply wells that are located approximately 1,100 m to the south west of the WWTP. Domestic waste is treated at the WWTP and the treated effluent is pumped to beds located within the respective boundaries of the serviced subdivisions (Figure 1). The WWTP is operated by the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA), Georgian Bay Hub. 1.1 Background The construction of homes at the Landings began in the spring of 2009 and for about one year sewage generated on the site was trucked to the Snow Valley Resort sewage treatment plant located approximately 1,700 m west. The WWTP began treating the sewage effluent in February Disposal of treated effluent into the Landings bed began concurrent with WWTP start-up in February 2010 (Figure 2). Golder has been conducting groundwater quality monitoring to meet EMP Conditions 35, 36 and 40 of the subdivision agreement and Condition 9 (d) of Certificate of Approval CLJ8 relating to monitoring of subsurface discharge of treated effluent. The water quality monitoring is to continue for two years after 80% completion and occupancy of residential dwellings in the subdivision. The conditions for groundwater and surface water quality monitoring have been met at the Landings locations; however, the Owner has opted to continue monitoring at the Landings locations on a voluntary basis with annual water quality. Monitoring at Black Creek is currently semi-annual. Roads and other infrastructure are currently being constructed but homes are not occupied. The sampling frequency will be increased to quarterly following the commencement of disposal of treated effluent in the Black Creek beds, and continue through two years after 80% occupancy. 2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN Site monitoring, as per the tables below, is based on terms of the subdivision agreement items listed above, and previous Certificate of Approval requirements. The requirements for groundwater and surface water sampling were removed from the Amended Certificate of Approval No CLJ8. The EMP is now governed by the subdivision agreement and ongoing review of monitoring by the municipality. Report No

Total Phosphorous, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, Total Ammonia, nitrate, nitrite The subdivision agreement requires semi-annual monitoring be completed at Black Creek prior to discharge to the beds in order to establish background quality. This monitoring was met at the Landings in 2008 and 2009, and initiated in 2013 at Black Creek Water Quality Monitoring Groundwater quality monitoring at the Landings was conducted at three standpipes constructed in the upper aquifer. They are identified as OW-1, OW-2 and OW-3. The location of these wells is shown on Figure 2 and they are located on, or adjacent to, the Landings subdivision. The 2013 annual water quality monitoring was conducted on August 15. A summary of the testing results for 2013 and previous years is contained in Table 1. Groundwater quality monitoring at Black Creek was conducted at two standpipes constructed in the upper aquifer. They are identified as BH5#2, and BH6. The location of these wells is shown on Figure 2 and they are sited on, or adjacent to, the Black Creek subdivision. The water quality monitoring was conducted on August 15 and December 17, A summary of the testing results for 2013 is contained in Table 2. Three water volumes were purged from each of the observation wells using dedicated waterra tubing and foot-valves. The water samples were packed on ice and sent by overnight courier to Caduceon Environmental Testing Laboratories in Nepean for analysis. Individual lab reports from monitoring in 2013 are appended in this report. 2.2 Surface Water Quality Monitoring Surface water quality monitoring at the Landings was conducted at SW1 and SW2 that are located on the Landings subdivision. The water quality monitoring was conducted on August 15, Both surface water monitoring locations are located on the unnamed stream that marks the western boundary of the Landings (Figure 2). A summary of the testing results for 2013 and previous years is contained in Table 1. Surface water quality monitoring was conducted at BC-SW1 and BC-SW2 that are located upstream and downstream of the Black Creek subdivision on Black Creek. The water quality monitoring was conducted on August 15 and December 17, Both surface water monitoring locations are located on the eponymous Black Creek that marks the eastern boundary of the subdivision (Figure 2). A summary of the testing results for 2013 and previous years is contained in Table 2. Report No

5 The surface water stations at each subdivision are located with a monitor just to the north of Snow Valley Road to act as an upgradient, background water quality monitoring location; and a second station located at the northern, downgradient limit of the subdivision. The water samples were packed on ice and sent by overnight courier to Caduceon Environmental Testing Laboratories in Nepean for analysis. Individual lab reports from monitoring in 2013 are appended in this report. 2.3 Sewage Treatment Plant Monitoring OCWA monitors several water quality parameters on a weekly basis at the Landings WWTP. We have prepared a graph of the monthly nitrate, nitrite, ammonia and phosphorus results (Figure 3). 3.0 WATER QUALITY MONITORING RESULTS 3.1 Groundwater The monitor locations and distance from the respective bed(s) are listed below. The groundwater flow velocity is estimated using the Darcy equation. A measured hydraulic gradient, estimated hydraulic conductivity, estimated effective porosity, and measured width and thickness of aquifer were used to estimate a groundwater velocity of between 160 and 400 m/year across the sites from south to north. It is expected that groundwater flowing through the effluent disposal beds would pass all of the groundwater monitoring locations in one to four years. Nitrate concentrations at the Landings locations remain at background concentration. The concentration of nitrate listed at the Black Creek stations is of background, as the upgradient bed at this development is not yet complete for operation. Summary of Groundwater Quality Monitoring Results Location Distance From Bed 2013 Nitrate Concentration (mg/l) Historical High Nitrate Concentration (mg/l) Landings OW m (Dec 2010) Landings OW m (Jun 2009) Landings OW m (Mar 2010) Black Creek BH5#2 520 m 3.6 (Aug) 2.2 (Dec) 3.6 (Aug 2013)* Black Creek BH6 355 m 0.8 (Aug) 0.3 (Dec) 0.8 (Aug 2013)* *Concentration reflects initial monitoring of groundwater quality before Black Creek beds have received treated effluent. 3.2 Surface Water Surface water is considered to reflect background conditions at both developments, particularly SW1 and BC-SW1 which are located adjacent to and upstream of the developments. Phosphorus results for both upstream and downstream monitors at both sites indicate that stream water quality at the respective locations varies in concert and no increase between upstream and downstream stations can be identified. This suggests that phosphorus is from upgradient sources, typified by the Total Phosphorous exceedance of Provincial Water Quality Objective (PWQO) at the upstream Black Creek BC-SW1 location in December The sampling was completed following a period of snow fall and road salting, whereby turbid Report No

6 water entering the stream from road-side run-off is likely the source of phosphorus. The downstream location Total Phosphorous concentration was non-detect. Summary of Surface Water Quality Monitoring Results Location Spatial Relationship With Bed Minimum Phosphorous Concentration (mg/l) Maximum Phosphorous Concentration (mg/l) Landings SW1 Upgradient <0.01 (Aug 2013) 0.06 (Mar 2011) Landings SW2 Downgradient <0.01 (Aug 2013) 0.16 (Dec 2012) Black Creek SW1 Upgradient <0.01 (Aug 2013) 0.04 (Dec 2013)* Black Creek SW2 Downgradient <0.01 (2013) <0.01 (2013)* *Concentration reflects initial monitoring of surface water before the Black Creek beds have received treated effluent. Surface water quality monitoring at the Landings upstream station (SW1), indicates nitrate concentrations ranging from 4.8 to 6.6 mg/l, with an average of 5.7 mg/l. The 2013 concentration was 6.6 mg/l. Surface water monitoring at SW2 indicates nitrate concentrations ranging from 2.7 to 3.6 mg/l, with an average of 3.2 mg/l. The 2013 concentration was 3.3 mg/l. The nitrate concentration at SW1 has increased approximately 0.9 mg/l since 2008, while the nitrate concentration at SW2 has increased 0.5 mg/l. The nitrate concentration at SW1 is consistently higher than that at SW2. The stream water quality is impacted by land use activities upgradient from the site and it is expected that discharge of low-nitrate baseflow from the site is likely responsible for the lowering of nitrate concentrations across the property. Surface water quality monitoring at the Black Creek BC-SW1 station, indicates nitrate concentrations of 18.7 and 18.8 mg/l. Surface water monitoring at BC-SW2 indicates nitrate concentrations of 10.5 and 11.3 mg/l. The nitrate concentrations at the Black Creek stations have been high historically (Dixon 1998, Dixon 2001). Hydrogeological studies (Golder 2011) also conclude groundwater recharge in the vicinity of the bed disposal area percolates downward and remains in a lower confined portion of the upper aquifer leaving the site. Ammonia concentration was non-detect at all locations in 2013, with no potential of un-ionized ammonia exceedance. Concentrations of parameters monitored in 2013 remain at background levels with fewer exceedances (the one Total Phosphorous exceedance noted above) than in the previous monitoring period. 3.3 Landings Sewage Treatment Plant Monitoring The monthly average nitrogen species contained in the treated effluent indicates that nitrogen removal is effective during the sewage treatment process (Figure 3). Occasional monthly exceedance of total nitrogen has been observed, notably February and March 2012, primarily due to high ammonia. Ammonia is expected to oxidize to nitrate at one to one ratio in the bed. The treatment of nitrate is within the requirements of the Reasonable Use criteria set out for the Snow Valley subdivisions serviced by the WWTP, including the subject Landings and Black Creek. Provided the WWTP continues to treat effluent to average annual concentration within the limits established in the Certificate of Approval, protection of the natural environment is expected to be maintained to the Reasonable Use criteria. Report No

7 4.0 CONCLUSIONS 1) The Ministry of the Environment has removed requirements for groundwater and surface water sampling from the Amended Certificate of Approval No CLJ8. Effluent quality sampling at the sewage treatment plant has not been changed. The rationale for removing groundwater and surface water sampling is that sufficient water quality monitoring is being completed on the final effluent at the sewage treatment plant. 2) Surface water quality sampling conducted at the Landings site (SW1 and SW2) between 2008 and 2013 indicate that there has not been increase in nitrate concentrations in the adjacent stream due to land use activities on the Snow Valley Landings subdivision. The nitrate concentrations are lower at the SW2, compared to SW1, indicating that low nitrate baseflow is resulting in a dilution of the nitrate in the stream. Annual sampling at the Landings groundwater and surface water locations are being completed and reported on a voluntary basis. The sampling requirements according to the EMP at the Landings have been completed. 3) The nitrate concentration observed in Black Creek adjacent to the subdivision at the upstream side of the subdivision (BCSW1) are elevated (approximately 19 mg/l). The nitrate concentration at the downstream side of the site is also elevated (approximately 11 mg/l). Elevated nitrate concentrations are likely related to agricultural land uses within the streams catchment area. The recharge bed is not yet in operation at this site. 4) Nitrate and phosphorus concentrations at stream locations upgradient of the sites are generally at higher or equal to those monitored at the downstream sites. 5) The treatment of inorganic nitrogen species (nitrate, nitrite and ammonia) has averaged 3.6 mg/l in 2010, 2.7 mg/l in 2011, 4.7 mg/l in 2012, and 1.9 mg/l in The WWTP is meeting its 7.0 mg/l effluent limit for total organic nitrogen as specified in Certificate of Approval No CLJ8. 6) The monitoring program conducted between 2008 and 2013 indicates that the groundwater near the Landings subdivision is at or near background conditions for nitrate and phosphorus and there is no discernable impact of the disposal of treated effluent.
