1.0 INTRODUCTION PURPOSE A residential development has been proposed by Stonepay 7603860 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 DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION This development will consist of townhouse blocks, a Village Green, a Parkette and local roads located 150m west of Brock Road at approximately 150m north of Concession Road 3/Rossland Road 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 Road 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

2.0 SOUND LEVEL CRITERIA OUTDOOR SOUND LEVEL CRITERIA 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. INDOOR SOUND LEVEL CRITERIA Living and Dining Area (7 a.m. 11 p.m.) 16 Hr. Leq. = 45 dba Roads, 40 dba Railways Bedrooms (11 p.m. 7 a.m.) 8 Hr. Leq. = 40 dba Roads, 35 dba Railways 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. STATIONARY NOISE SOURCES 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 (0700-2300) or 45 dba during night-time (2300-0700). For outdoor receptors, the energy equivalent sound level (L EQ ) is 50 dba during daytime (0700-1900) or 45 dba during night-time (1900-0700). Stonepay Development - Pickering 2 Environmental Noise Assessment

3.0 NOISE SOURCES ROAD TRAFFIC The proposed residential development will be located at approximately 150m west of Brock Road, approximately 150m north of Third Concession Road/ Rossland Road. Tillings Road Extension is along the west of the development, Valley Farm Extension will be through the proposed residential development extending east-west and the Future Road 'A' will be along the east of the development as indicated on DWG Y1539. Therefore, noise generated by Brock Road, Third Concession Road, Valley Farm Extension, Tillings Road Extension and the Future Road '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 Road and Third Concession Road was obtained from the Region of Durham dated December 2015 and is summarized in Tables 1 and 2 below: TABLE 1: BROCK ROAD TRAFFIC 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: THIRD CONCESSION ROAD TRAFFIC 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 Region of Durham. The ultimate traffic information for Valley Farm Extension and Tillings Road Extension was not available at the Region of Durham although it is considered a collector road based on the Durham Regional Official Plan. Therefore, for noise analysis purposes similar traffic data as the typical collector road has been assumed. TABLE 3: VALLEY FARM/TILLINGS ROAD EXTENSION TRAFFIC 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

The Future Road '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: FUTURE ROAD 'A' TRAFFIC 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. RAIL TRAFFIC The Canadian Pacific Railway 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 Railway right-of-way and more than 75m from the Railway tracks. Therefore, a warning clause and a vibration study are not required. AIRCRAFT TRAFFIC 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. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT A Commercial Block is proposed to the east of the development at the southwest corner of Brock Road 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 COMMERCIAL 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 Road 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 Road the noise impact from these commercial developments is considered acoustically insignificant. Stonepay Development - Pickering 4 Environmental Noise Assessment

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 CENTRELINE OF ROAD (m) Building 3 Front Wall 15.0 1 DAYTIME (16 Hr.

5.0 RECOMMENDED NOISE MITIGATION MEASURES 5.1 OUTDOOR MEASURES 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 REQUIREMENTS Ventilation requirements were determined using the sound levels at the building facades listed in Table 5. MANDATORY CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONERS 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. PROVISION FOR CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONERS 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

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 64.19 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 58.31 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 REQUIREMENTS 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

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 EXTERIOR 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 4. 5.4 WARNING 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." Stonepay Development - Pickering 8 Environmental Noise Assessment

6.0 SUMMARY OF NOISE MITIGATION MEASURES The summary of noise abatement measures are listed in the following Table 6 identifying sound barriers, mandatory central air conditioners, provision for central air conditioners, building components and warning clauses. TABLE 6: SUMMARY OF NOISE MITIGATION MEASURES UNITS VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS BUILDING COMPONENTS SOUND BARRIERS WARNING CLAUSES Buildings 1 to 5, 9, 16, 17, 20 to 25, 33 to 37 and 41 (All Units) Provision for air conditioning Windows: OBC* Walls: OBC - Type A and C Buildings 38, 39, 40 (All Units) No Requirements Type A All remaining residential units No requirements * OBC: Ontario Building Code Standard ** Noise fence located at the side and rear property lines. Stonepay Development - Pickering 9 Environmental Noise Assessment

7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION RECOMMENDATIONS 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 Region of Durham are expected to be achieved using the abatement measures in this report and as shown on the attached Drawing DWG Y1539.

For windows fixed and sealed to the frame, add three to the STC given in the table. 2. If the interpane spacing or glass thickness for a specific double-glazed window is not listed in the table, the nearest listed values should be used. 3. If the interpane spacing for a specific triple-glazed window are not listed in the table, use the listed case whose combined spacing are nearest the actual combined spacing. 4. The STC data listed in the table are for typical windows, but details of glass mounting, window seals, etc., may result in slightly different performance for some manufacturer s products. If the laboratory sound transmission loss data (conforming to ASTM test method E-90) are available, these should be used.
