Ottawa, Ontario In Association with M. Carter and J. Weiler FINAL REPORT July 1988 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report describes an inventory and assessment study of former industrial sites active in the City of Ottawa from 1850 to 1984 that likely produced or handled hazardous wastes and materials. The purpose of this study was to identify and map former industrial areas in the City of Ottawa and to assess the potential environmental impacts or problems that may exist at these former sites as a result of past practices . Identification of former industrial sites that likely produced or handled hazardous materials was performed by first reviewing the industries historically active in Ottawa, identifying those types of Ottawa industries that handled or produced hazardous materials as part of their industrial process and then listing, from Dominion Bureau of Statistics and directory sources, the Ottawa sites within the identified industry types. Detailed descriptions of the study methodology are given on Section 2 of this report. A review of the past waste generating and handling processes and practices of twenty?four high priority industries are provided in Section 3 of the report. One hundred and seventy?seven former industrial sites were identified in this study. The identified sites included both manufacturing industrial operations and non-?manufacturing industrial operations such as former railway rounc'ihouses/workshops, asphalt plants and bulk fuel storage facilities. One hundred and sixty?six of the 177 identified sites were verified by confirming the site location on an historical map, usually a fire insurance plan. At least one fire insurance plan showing the layout and location of each of the 166 sites are provided with this report in a separate map collection. Fire insurance plans were obtained from the 1878, 1901, 1922 and 1956 collections of the Public Archives Canada and the 1948 Collection of the City of Ottawa Archives. INTEDA ii The 177 sites were screened to identify higher priority sites for more detailed assessment of potential environmental impact. Fifty-three sites were selected from this screening. Reconnaissance visits were made to each of the identified 53 sites to determine on? site and off-site land use, site conditions and any evidence of wastes and related environmental impacts. For each of the 53 sites an information sheet describing the site and a copy of a historic map are provided in the Appendices to this report. Potential environmental impacts at the 53 sites were assessed based on site characteristics, waste characteristics and potentially impacted resources. Based on assessment of potential environmental impact 'the 177 identified sites were categorized into three Groups: I, II and Group sites are low priority sites where it is unlikely that significant quantities of waste exist at the sites today and therefore the potential for emiromnental impact is minimal. Because of the low probability of wastes at these sites, redevelopment of these properties including excavation is not likely to increase potential environmental impacts. 'Ihirty of the 53 sites including many of the railway roundhouses and workshOps, foundries, tanneries and dyeing and cleaning works were listed in Group The remaining 124 sites not subject to more detailed assessment, are also considered to have low potential for environmental impact and are included in Group These 124 sites include printing, publishing and allied industries, clothing industries, paper and allied products industries, primary metal industries and fabricated metal products industries. Eighteen sites were listed in Group II as having sufficient evidence to indicate that wastes are likely remnant at the site. Although wastes may be present at these sites, the exposure of such wastes at the site and the site proximity to surface waters are such that significant environmental impacts are likely not occurring at these sites. However, at all of these sites future development INT-M involving excavation should be conducted with caution and the knowledge that wastes are likely present in the subsurface. Group II sites include eleven bulk fuel storage facilities, three asphalt plants, two government sites, a paint works and a sweeping compound manufacturer. Five sites from this study are included in Group I. Group I sites include sites where there is sufficient evidence to indicate that wastes are present on site and that there is high potential for environmental impact. Impacts may result from exposure of wastes through excavation, migration of wastes off?site and migration of wastes to adjacent surface waters. Group I sites include two bulk fuel storage facilities (F.W. Argue Fuel Oil Depot and Imperial Oil Co. Ltd.) two coal gasification plants (Bytown Gas Co. and OttawaGas Co. sites) and a coal tar distillation plant (Currie Products Ltd.) . Because there is a high potential for environmental inpact at these sites, recommendations are considered for each site. For the Ottawa Gas Co. and Currie Products sites, environmental consultants have been retained or studies are planned and site specific recommendations are not warranted at this time. For the Bytown Gas Co. site studies are recommended to confirm the extent and off?site migration of coal tar wastes. For the F.W. Argue site, fuel oil was evident both on- and off?site during the site visit. However since the site visit the property owner at this site has undertaken remedial work including the excavation of buried tanks and removal of contaminated soil. This remedial work is being undertaken with the concurrence of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. At the Imperial Oil Co. Ltd. site, little is known about the subsurface conditions and studies are recommended to quantify the extent and levels of suspected contamination. Intera Technologies Ltd. does not warrant that all former industrial sites in the City of Ottawa are identified in this study. The identification of former industrial sites is as complete as historical records and source materials will allow. Also potential environment inpacts at many of the sites are based on limited data and iv actual subsurface conditions and the presence or? absence of waste materials can only be confirmed through subsurface investigations.

The need for such a study I has been identified by the discovery in Ottawa in 1986 of coal tar wastes at the Lees Avenue Transitivay Station, in the Rideau River and at Public) Works Canada property at King Edward and York Streets. Prior identification of these former industrial sites could have eliminated or reduced many of the erwironmental problems and impacts associated with these sites. 1 . 2 OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are twofold: i) identification and mapping of former industrial areas within the City of Ottawa that likely generated hazardous wastes and, ii) assessment of potential environmental problems or impacts that may exist at these former industrial sites as a result of past practices. 1.3 SCOPE Generally for the purposes of this study the term ?industrial" has been defined, from the historical use of the term by Statistics Canada, as operations which manufacture (process, fabricate and produce) goods for distribution or sale. Because Statistics Canada historical sources were central to this study, the Statistic Canada definition of industrial has been used in this report. The Statistics Canada Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes are also followed in this report to classify and identify industrial operations. These codes are summarized in Appendix A. This study identifies and assesses former industrial sites active in the City of Ottawa in the period 1850 to 1984 that processed or generated what would today be classified under the Ontario Environmental Protection Act as hazardous materials or wastes. The methodology followed in this study is outlined in Section 2 of this report and briefly consisted of a review of the types of industrial operations generating hazardous wastes in Ottawa, identification of sites within these industries, and assessment of potential environmental impact of the identified sites. Identification of types of industries in Ottawa that handled or generated hazardous materials or wastes in the 1850 1984 period was based on review of census and Dominion Bureau of Statistics data, historical industrial processes, similar and related inventory studies and current waste management literature. Identification and mapping of industrial sites within the identified types of industries was carried out using similar historical sources, city, provincial and national gazetteers and directories and fire insurance plans. Several "non?manufacturing" industrial sites were also identified in this study as having had the potential to contaminate soil and groundwater. Identification of these "non-manufacturing" sites was not possible through census or Dominion Bureau of Statistics data because the operations were not considered "industrial" by the Statistics Canada definition. These sites were identified through review of available fire insurance plans and included bulk oil and petroleum storage facilities, asphalt plants, large cleaning and dyeing works, railway workshops and roundhouses and some Government of Canada facilities. These sites were also assessed with respect to potential environmental impact. Small cleaners and dyers and local gasoline stations were not included in this study. The focus of this study is primarily former industrial sites. INTEM 3 However some currently active industrial sites are included in this study if the sites were operational on or before about 1960. Waste disposal (principally landfill) sites located within the boundaries of the City of Ottawa were not researched but for carplet?ness are listed and included on maps using information from previous City of Ottawa, Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Enviromnent Canada simdies. Combined, the waste disposal sites and former industrial areas provide a comprehensive identification of sites within the City of Ottawa where wastes may be present in the subsurface. INTERA 4 2 . METHODOLOGY The methodology followed in this study consisted of three major activities: historical review identification of former industrial sites and 3 . screening and assessment of potential environmental impact. These activities are described in detail below and are summarized in a flow chart in Figure 2.1. 2 . HISTORICAL REVIEW The historical review included the following tasks: a review of City of Ottawa annexations to establish geographic boundaries for study 0 survey of industries active within the current limits of the City of Ottawa from 1850 to 1984 0 research on the historical manufacturing processes and practices of those historically active Ottawa industries with some (or uncertain) potential for production or handling of hazardous wastes or materials. 0 review of related studies and current waste management literature a listing of the types of industries active in Ottawa that require site identification in this study. 2.1.1 City Annexations The history of annexatid?ns of smaller communities to the City of Ottawa was examined in map and local history sources from Ottawa's incorporation in 1854 to the present.

The list of active industries was reviewed to eliminate from further smdies those industries not considered to have a significant potential for the handling or generation of hazardous materials or wastes. Current waste management literature, similar inventory studies and existing information on historical processes in some industries were used as a basis for these eliminations. For example, many of the food product and beverage industries (Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Groups 10 and 11) identified on the survey were eliminated from further study. 2 . 1. 3 Review of Industrial Operations Research on the historical manufacturing process and waste practices of industries active in Ottawa with potential for handling or production of hazardous materials or wastes was conducted using a variety of sources. Technical literature at key dates within the period of historic interest was reviewed at the libraries of the Canadian Institute for Scientific and Technical Information and the Canadian Mineral and Energy Technology Branch, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources. This information was combined with information on the historical development of Canadian manufacturing industries contained in annual and other reports of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics which are available from 1919. Current waste management literature and experience gained from similar and or related inventory '7 and assessment studies were also used to guide the research on historical manufacturing processes. Research conducted in this phase of the study attempted to identify and evaluate raw materials, products, Icy?products and wastes in terms of type, nature, quantity, distribution and disposal. Special note was made of the locations and characteristics of storage or refuse facilities and systems. Potentially hazardous waste could include residue from a manufacturing process which was collected for disposal or reprocessing, as well as raw materials or residues which were lost in the manufacturing process due to accidental spills or leaks in the processing system or storage facilities. Wherever possible an attempt was made to assess the level of hazard associated with the materials and processes of each type of industrial operation. 2 . l. 4 Review of Related Studies and Current Waste Management Literature Related studies and current waste management and waste classification literature were reviewed to determine the types of wastes that have been associated with former industrial sites, the types of wastes generated by similar industries today and how such wastes are classified today. Irrportant papers and reports describing related inventory studies and the types of hazardous wastes associated with former industrial sites included: 0 Historical Questions in Hazardous Waste Management by C.E. Ooltan (1988) Nineteenth Century Technology - Twentieth Century Problems; A Retrospective Mini?Assessment by V. Coates et al (1982) A Multiple Criteria Weighing System for the Investigation of Environmental Hazard Potential of Former Industrial Sites in Ontario by D. McKnight (1983) 8 Site Re-Use; Concerns of.

Tarr (1985) Survey of Industrial Water Use and Waste Disposal, County of Carleton by Ontario Water Resources Commission (1963) Reports describing recent (19705 and 19805) inventories of hazardous waste generation were also reviewed and provided a perspective on the nature and types of wastes likely historically generated by similar Ottawa industries operational prior to 1960 or 1970. Important reports and papers reviewed included: US Environmental Protection Agency Reports on Assessment of Industrial Hazardous Waste Practice in - Textiles Industry (1976) - Pharmaceutical Industry (1976) Paint and Allied Products Industry (1976) Organic Chemicals, Pesticides and Explosives Industry (1976) Leather Tanning and Finishing Industry (1976) Inorganic Chemicals Industry (1975) - Electroplating' and metal Finishing Industries (1977) - Storage and Primary Batteries Industries (1975) Industrial Hazardous Waste Generation in New York State; An Inventory by New .

This listing provided the basis for subsequent site identifications. 2.2 IDENTIFICATION OF FORMER INDUSTRIAL SITES In the period 1919 - 1984 Dominion Bureau of Statistics (DBS) reports were examined to produce a list of Ottawa businesses that had potential to produce or handle hazardous materials or wastes. Subject to variation on availability these reports were examined at ten year intervals. In cases of large industries and industries considered to be particularly problematic as generators of wastes, a five year interval was used for the survey. In the pre?1919 period, Ottawa industries potentially generating wastes were identified using city, provincial and occasionally national directories and gazetteers at ten year intervals. 10 In both time periods, data on industry type, products, production methods, street location and duration of operation were collected for each manufacturer when it was available. A qualitative industry hazard rating (low, medium, high) was also assigned to each type of industrial operation and site to reflect the potentially hazardous nature of the industrial operation or activity. The geographic location of each site identified above was verified on a rep or (if possible) a fire insurance plan. Each site was identified only once during its period of operation on a site. Information collected from DES and census data was grouped to correspond to the complete sets of fire insurance plans held by the Public Archives of Canada available from the years 1878, 1901, 1922, 1956 and by the City of Ottawa Archives for 1948. The majority of sites were located on these maps, and copies of the relevant plans were collected to form part of the study. In cases where industries could not be confirmed on the above maps, additional fire insurance plans and maps available at the Public Archives Canada and the City of Ottawa Archives were reviewed to locate sites. This method was successful in identifying all but a few sites most of which were from the pre-1878 period. Because fire insurance plans and city directories are prepared based on contemporary City of Ottawa boundaries and these boundaries have expanded through annexation, parts of the current City of Ottawa do not have equal early coverage by fire insurance plans or directories. This is particularly true for western and southern wards of the City including Richmond, Britannia and Riverside. Early historical coverage for these areas is in part provided through Census data listed for Carleton County and later by DES reports. Non?manufacturing industrial sites such as bulk petroleum storage areas, asphalt plants, large cleaning and dyeing works and railway workshops and roundhouses were identified by reviewing all fire inst'lrance plans at the Public Archives of Canada and the City of Ottawa Archives. A small number of Government of Canada non?manufacturing sites such as government laboratories were identified through a review of the most recent (1956 to 1963) fire insurance plans available at the Public Archives of Canada. 11 2.3 SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENEAL IMPACT 2.3.1 Initial Assessment and Screening The sites. identified from Section 2.2 activities were assessed and screened and a reduced number of these sites were subject to a more detailed assessment of potential environmental impact. Information on site size, duration of operations and potential for waStes to be residual in the ground were used as criteria to select sites for subsequent site recomiaissanoe visits and detailed site assessment. Fire insurance plans and directory information were .0 usedinthisscreening. sites that were of a relatively small size and short period of operation were less likely to have generated large volumes of wastes and therefore were of less concern than similar type sites of greater size and duration of operation. The potential for wastes to be residual at a site was an important screening criteria. Although a site may have generated or handled significant quantities of hazardous material and therefore the industry may have been assigned a high hazard rating, the site may not have a high potential for residual waste on-site because the wastes were disposed off-site; for example rinsed or flushed to storm or sanitary sewers. Such an assessment is likely appropriate for many of the printing, publishing and allied industries, some metal industries and selected miSoellaneous industries. For exanple, the Ontario Water Resources Commission in a survey of industrial waste disposal in Carleton County in 1960 1963 document that liquid waste streams from the British American Bank Note Co. Ltd., the Canadian Bank Note Co. Ltd., R.L. Grain Ltd. and the Alexander Fleck Co. Ltd. were all discharged to the existing storm sewers. Therefore the potential for residual hazardous materials in the soils at these sites and therefore potential environmental impact is greatly reduced. The practice of INTEM 12 disposal of water soluble and even insoluble wastes to sewers was common at least as early as 1876 as evidenced by a sewer inspection report ?chronicled in the March 21, 1876 issue of The Citizen. Wastes from the Bytown Gas Co. gas works including coal tar to a depth of 0.45 were reported in the sewers during this inspection. Sites with underground tanks and large surface tanks for the storage of hazardous liquid raw materials or were deemed to have potential for spillage or leakage and therefore environmental impact and were subject to detailed site assessment. Examples of these sites include the Ottawa Paint Works (underground benzene tanks), the, and Ottawa Gas Co. gas works (underground tar wells) and the F.W. Argue and D. Grandmaitre Oil Companies (underground fuel oil tanks). Sites which are still active today as industrial operations were__generally not subject to detailed site assessment because these sites are not considered former industrial sites and therefore are outside the terms of reference of the study. Examples of these sites include the J.R. Eddy pulp and paper mills, Campbell Steel and Ironworks and the Canadian Bank Note Co. Ltd. Most of the identified non-manufacturing industrial sites including railway workshops and and bulk petroleum storage facilities were subject to further site assessment because these facilities are recognized as having potential to contaminate soils, surface water and groundwater with waste oils, greases and fuel products. For example, redevelopment of railway lands in Toronto has shown that roundhouses, workshops and fueling stations were land uses that cause soil contamination. (Brown Associate Ltd., 1986). 2 . 3.2 Assessment of Potential Environmental Impact Sites identified from the initial assessment and screening as having potential to have residual hazardous materials on~site were INEM, 13 subject to more detailed assessment of potential environmental impact. This more detailed assessment was based on a site reconnaissance visit and an assessment of site characteristics, waste characteristics and potentially impacted resources. 2.3.2.1? Site Reconnaissance Visits Site reconnaissance visits were made in April and May 1988. ?Ihe purpose of the site visit was to identify any evidence of on-site wastes by visual and olfactory inspection and any environmental impacts that may be related to the wastes. The site reconnaissance visits also served to identify on-site and off-site land use, site conditions and site acceSs and to obtain photographs of the site and any additional local information. site reconnaissance work undertaken as part of this inspection did not involve subsurface investigations such as drilling or soil sarpling. I The data collected from the reconnaissance visits of former industrial sites included: a viSual evidence of wastes at surface and in the near surface olfactory evidence of wastes both on? and off-site visual evidence of water pollution in surface waters and groundwaters a confirmation of current land use, both on- and off?site resource characteristics including proximity to and usage of surface water. Some wastes such as waste oils, tars and petroleum products . are readily identified in soils, groundwater and surface water by both visual and olfactory senses. Oily sheens on surface water or groundwaters are generally indicative of organic contamination. Some organic vapour concentrations of 1 ug. L?l (ppb) are detectable by sense of smell. 14 During site rwonnaissance visits, natural and man?made catch basins, surface drainage ditches, storm water out falls and natural seepage faces on soil and rock slopes were examined. For former sites that have been developed into other land uses, an effort was made to collect information on evidence of buried waste. Soils reports, excavation reports and interviews with owners and contractors associated with sewer construction or redevelopment on or near the site are examples of this type of information. 2.3.2.2 Information Sheet Description Assessment of potential environmental impact of former industrial sites was performed using an information sheet. The information sheet approach was adopted for the purpose of presenting all relevant site specific information in a format that is consistent and comprehensive. {The information sheet utilized on the study is given in Figure 2.2. The information sheet is structured in six categories. The categories are site identification, site location, site characteristics, waste, remarks and environmental impact assessment. rIhe entries to the information are mostly self-explanatory however a brief description follows. Each site subject to detailed site assessment was identified by a name that usually refers to the industrial operation, a site number determined from activities outlined in Section 2.2, a? description of the type of industrial operation and the names of the operator and approximate period of operation. Site location is documented in the form of City Ward, the City of Ottawa Block Numbering System (based on the 1981 Census Tracts) and a street address. Available historical maps are also listed in this section of the information sheet. 15 Figure 2.2 INFORMATION SHEET FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF FORMER INDUSTRIAL AREAS 1.

The waste section Smearizes the likely types (chemistry, hazard potential) and Characteristics (state, environmental nobility and persistanoe, etc.) of waste that may be renmnt on-site and the evidence that such wastes are on?site. Evidence includes the results of soil borings and excavation history at the site, where available, and visual or olfactory evidence of wastes determined from the site visit. Evidence of water pollution both on? and off-site are included in this category . ?Ihe remarks section is also provided to allow description of important aspects of the site not covered by previous categories. Information such as previous -or ongoing geotechnical and/or hydrogeologic investigations, other waste management surveys and development plans of the site are noted in this category. The last section provides a brief assessment of potential environmental impact of the site based on the information described in the first five categories of the information sheet. The criteria and rationale for assessment of potential environment impact is provided below. INTEM 17 2.3.2.3 Criteria for Assessment of Potential Environmental Impact The criteria for assessment of potential environmental impact of former industrial sites are grouped into three important categories, site Characteristics, evidence and characteristics of wastes and resource characteristics. The approach to assessment of potential environmental impact of largely unexplored former industrial sites is qualitative in nature reflecting the uncertain and conjectural nature of much of the collected data. For some sites, data is of greater reliability as a result of recent subsurface investigations but for many of the sites, reliable information on subsurface conditions is not available, or 'at best is poorly reported. Given these considerations, quantitative assessment or ranking of sites with respect to potential environmental impact is not warranted. Also not all factors are expected to have equal weighing at all sites. Site characteristics Definition of the historic and current characteristics of former industrial sites provides the framework for determining the potential for environmental impact. Factors to be assessed under this category include relative size of facility, type of facility, period of operation and present landuse/ownership. Relative size of a facility provides a good indication of the potential impact of a site in that a large site is more likely to be a problem than a small site. Type of facility is an important assessment factor in that some facilities have historically been documented as more likely to have had wastes on?site than other facilities. For example, former sites associated with refined petroleum and coal products industries, bulk petroleum storage facilities, tanneries and coatings industries have been shown to be more likely to pose environmental impacts than former sites associated with the textile and textile products 18 industries, clothing industries and some non?metallic mineral industries. The period of operation of a former industrial site is an important factor in that sites with a long operating period will have generated more wastes and have a longer period of waste migration and dispersion. Present land use is used to assess public access to the site and therefore numbers of potentially affected populations. If the site ownership is presently industrial or commercial access may be limited and the potentially affected population is reduced. Conversely if the site is residential or public use, access will be uncontrolled resulting in a greater concern. Characteristics and Evidence of Buried Wastes Characteristics and evidence of buried wastes is Van important category for assessment of impact. Important factors are the type of wastes (chemistry, hazard potential) and the characteristics of the waste (state, environmental mobility and environmental persistance) . For example sludges from plating operations frequently contain cyanide and hazardous heavy metals (lead, chromium, cadmium, mercury, etc.) which are persistent in the environment but relatively immobile. On the other hand, petroleum products such as gasoline and fuel oil are hazardous because of light aromatic compounds such as benzene, mobile in the environment but not persistent because of their volatility and biodegradability. These characteristics of the potential waste were considered in the assessment of environmental impact of each site. ENidence of waste on site determined from previous soil borings, excavation and the site visit is clearly one of the most important factors. Confirmation of waste on site from visual and or I 19 olfactory evidence significantly increases the potential for environmental impact. Resource Characteristics The last category is the characteristics of potentially impacted resources. This usually includes the proximity and use of groundwater and surface water. Groundwater and surface water are considered the most likely impacted resources although in some instances air resources may also be impacted through excavation of wastes. The proximity and use of water resources is important because if wastes are identified on-site and there is no identifiable population or resource to be impacted by the wastes, potential environmental iirpacts are considered minimal. Because there is little to no groundwater use in the City of Ottawa, surface water is the water resource assessed in this study. If the surface water adjacent to a site is impacted by wastes it is inportant to consider the use of the water within the potentially impacted area. Industrial use is unlikely to be affected by poor water quality, but recreational or more significantly, drinking water use represent a serious impact. INT-LN: 20 3. RESULTS 3.1 SURVEY OF MANUFACTURING Following the methodology outlined in Section 2, manufacturing industries operational in Ottawa in the time period 1850 1984 were surveyed. Table 3.1 summarizes the results obtained from this survey. Table 3.1 lists the identified industries by major groups as per the Canadian Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes. These numerical codes provide a consistent classification system in this study that is also used by Statistics Canada in listing industries and by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment in identifying current waste streams industries. The complete listing of divisions, major groups, groups and classes of the Canadian Standard Industrial Classification System is provided in Appendix A to this report. Table 3.1 lists the type of industrial Operation and the first year than such industries appeared in the census or Dominion Bureau of Statistics summaries. From this summary table, it is evident that the major manufacturing industries active in Ottawa included (in order of SIC group number) food products and beverages, leather and allied products, textile and textile products, wood and paper products and industries, printing, publishing and allied industries, metal industries, non-metallic mineral products, chemical and chemical products and other manufacturing industries. Of these, the wood and paper products industries and the printing, publishing and allied industries were particmlarly large and well established in Ottawa over the time frame of this study. 21 Table 3.1 MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES EXESEDNG Earliest Date of quxanznraa (SIC Industry Number) in Census Food Products and Beverages (SIC 10, 11) a aerated and mineral waters 1881 0 bread and other bakery products 1881 0 coffee, tea and spices 1901 cordial and syrup manufacturing 1871 malt liquors 1851 breweries 1851 a flour and feed mills 1851 a butter and cheese including dairy products 1911 0 meat curing including slaughtering and.packaging 1871 a pickle making 1881 tobacco, cigar and snuff 1861 leather and Allied Products (SIC 17) tanneries 1851 saddle and harness 1871 fOOtwear and shoes 1881 Textile, Textile Products and Clothing Industries (SIC 18 24) weavers 1891 hats and caps 1851 carding and filling 1851 woolen factories 1851 0 carpets, mats and rugs, including misc. textiles 1891 tailors, dressmakers and milliners 1871 WOod and Paper Products and Industries (SIC 25, 26) a carriage making 1851_ a cabinet factory and furniture 1851 sawmills 1851 sash, doors and band 1861 planing mills 1932 caqxa?sms, johm?s 1871 shipyards 1871 broom and brush factory 1891 straw works 1881 a coffin and casket making 1881 lumber products 1891 cardboard, paper boxes, bags and misc. paper industry 1901 0 paper mill 1851 INTEM 22 Table 3 .1 (Cont'd) Printing, Publishing and Allied Industries (SIC 28) a wood pulp, chemical and mechanical 1911 a 4 wooden ware A 1951 banknote engraving, platemaking. 1881 typesetting, etc. 1871 engraving, electro typing and stereotyping 1932 engraving and lithography 1871 li?mgraphing, printing and bookbinding 1871 a publishing only 1951 a publishing and printing 1871 a photographic galleries 1871 motion picture films 1932 Metal Industries (SIC 29, 3o, 31, 32) foundries 1851 0 fitting and foundries working in lead, brass and iron 1871 a brass and copper production 1941 9 tin and sheet iron works 1871 agricultural implements 1861 a jewelers and watch makers 1871 0 gold and silver refining 1911 boiler making 1881 0 wine works - 1881 7 gunsmithing 1891 locksmithing 1891 refrigerator factory 1891 a spring bed and mattress factory 1891 a carriage making 1891 a bicycle manufacturing 1901 0 washing machines 1901 railway cars and car works 1911 a motor vehicle parts 1951 0 iron and steel products 1911 a castings and forgings 1932 0 sheet metal products 1932 0 machine shops 1941 aircraft 1941 . lead, tin and zinc products 1932 0 white metal alloys and architectural metals 1971 a metal stamping, pressing and coating - 1971 0 metal door and window manufacturing 1981 INTEM 23 Table 3.1 (Cont?d) Non?Metallic Mineral Products (SIC 35) and Refined Petroleum and Coal Products Industries (SIC 36) mica cement glass products ornamental and monumental stove clay and brick works pottery and pearl ash coke and gas production miscellaneous non?metallic minerals (including calcium carbide and manufactured fuel) concrete manufacturing plaster and stucco works paving material factory Chemical and Chemical Products Industries (SIC 37) compressed gases paints, pigments and varnishes toilet preparations soap and candle making soap, washing compounds and Cleaning preparations including stove polish and sweeping compounds miscellaneous chemical products patent medicines and drugs dying, cleaning and scouring methylated spirits Other Manufacturing Industries (SIC 39) miscellaneous wares electric light and power scientific and professional equipment artificial ice signs, electrical, neon and other instniment and related products including opthamalic and dental labs 1901 1932 1901 1861 1861 1851 1871 1911 1971 1891 1891 1931 1871 1941 1861 1911 1891 1891 1881 1891 1881 1901 1932 1932 1941 1971 24 3.2 IDENTIFICATION OF OTTAWA IIKEILY HANDLING. OR PROHJCING HAZARHDUS MATERIAIS The list_gf Ckiawa industries (Table 3.1) was reviewed in conjunction with activities described in Section 2.13 and 2.14 to provide' a list of Ottawa industries likely' handling' or' producing hazardous Haterials or wastes. This list is given in Table 3.2 and includes both industrial manufacturing and nonsmanufacturing sites. As indicated in Section 2, this list was compiled from review of industrial processes and practices for the period 1850 to 1950 and'a review of the Ontario Ministry of? the Erwiromnent waste stream registration for all types of industries active in Ottawa post 1950. The review of the MOE waste stream registration showed that in 1986?1987, Ontario industries of similar operation and classification to industries identified in Table 3.2 and operational in Ottawa after 1950, produced a variety of liquid industrial, leachate toxic, and hazardous wastes as per waste definition in Regulation 309 of the Environmental Protection Act. Appendix summarizes the results of this survey of Ontario industrial waste streams. ?Ihis survey Was usedtoconfirm the suspectedwaste streams from the typesmof industries identified in Table 3.2 Many of the waste streams identified in Appendix include waste crankcase oils and lubricants and aromatic and aliphatic solvents and residues; all waste streams associated with maintenance and cleaning of modern machinery. Early operations in these industries were likely not as mechanized as today and therefore these waste streams are likely not to have been as prevalent as they are today.

The list is given in Table 3.3 and includes for each site, an site number, site name, street address and City of Ottawa block number. The sites in Table 3.3 are listed in order of block number. One hundred and seventy-seven sites are listed in Table 3.3. The last eleven sites listed in Table 3.3 are sites for which the location was not verified through fire insurance plans and the site location is uncertain. These sites are identified by UNID under the street address entry. Most of the UNID sites date from the pre-1878 period. A one page description of each site listed in Table 3 .3 is also provided in Appendix of this report. The one page site descriptions are organized by City block number. The information on each site includes City of Ottawa block number, the name of the company or companies known to have occupied the site, known periods of operation, the Canadian Standard Industrial Classification of the industry (or industries) operated on the site, a industry hazard rating, a reference to the historical map (included with the study) on which the site is located, an estimate of the size of the industry (relative to other examples in Ottawa), a description of infomlation located on the specific business or businesses operation on the site relevant to a determination of the types of wastes that may exist and a list of sufficient sources to establish the nature and operation of activities on the site. The maps collected as part of this study are filed according to year of base map reviewed 1878, 1901, 1922, 1948 (photocopies) and 1956. Within these years maps are filed by street number. All other maps are consider "specials" and are included in a separate file in numerical map number according to National Map Collection (NMC) number.

Map 1 gives the confirmw location of all fOrmer industrial sites identified in this report and fOrmer landfill sites identified by earlier studies (see Section 3.6). ?Ihe geographic distribution of former industrial sites in the City of Ottawa is worthy of brief discussion. Many of the early and large bulk fuel storage facilities and the large manufacturing sites in the City were located adjacent to the major railway lines. Roundhouses and workshops were also associated with these lines. .Ihe lines of the Grand Truck Railway, Canadian National Railway, Canadian Pacific Railway, Canadian Atlantic Railway, St. Lawrence and Ottawa Railway, and the Ottawa and New York Railway provided the necessary routes for the transport of fuels and raw materials required at these former industrial sites. Some of these railway lines exist today but many have been removed. Former railway lines once existed on the south side of the Ottawa River westward from Lebreton flats, on the east and west sides of the Rideau canal north of the Queensway and most notably along the current route of Highway 17 (Queensway) . The Grand Trunk Railway and later the Canadian National Railway once occupied the major east-west route through the City now occupied by the Queensway. Many of the former industrial sites associated with this railway route were demolished and either excavated or filled during Queensway construction in 1963?64. Many of the former industrial sites associated with the printing, publishing and allied industries and miscellaneous small manufacturing sites were also clustered in the downtown area in the vicinity of Wellington, Sparks and Queen Streets. Most of these sites were small operations, not requiring railway access and the liquid wastes generated by these sites were likely disposed to existing sewer systems. Many of the former tannery sites were located adjacent to either the Rideau River or the Ottawa River and sites of the wood and 44 paper products industries were located adjacent to the Ottawa River as they are today. 3 .4 REVIEW OF INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS This section srmmarizes the historical research undertaken on the waste generating and handling practices of Ottawa industries identified in Table 3.2. For each industrial operation, the industry is identified by the Canadian Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) number, sites identified in Ottawa are listed by block number, an- industry waste hazard rating is assigned, and a overview description of the industrial processes, products and wastes is provided. A bibliography is also provided for each industrial section.

Before the 19205, practically all tanneries discharged their waste into streams, lakes or sewer systems without treatment. The leather tanneries industry in Ottawa ceased operations~ about 1891. The industry in Ottawa, for the most part, predates the introduction of the chrome tanning process, the greatest generator of hazardous residuals.

The Royal Canadian Engineers shops are included because leach pits are evident at the rear of the property adjacent to the Rideau River. The Dominion of canada Fuel Testing Station, Fuel Researdh labs and Ore Dressing Laboratory undertook semi?industrial scale carbonization studies of coal, peat, and other fuels, as well as dressing of ores including precious metals, base metals and some radioactive ores. The hazard associated with these activities are leakage and spillage of petroleum products from the underground tank farm; and dusts and sludges contaminated with metals (lead, chromium, zinc, copper, etc.). The Mines Branch Radioactivity Division site undertook research in the dressing extraction and concentration of radioactive uranium ores. The hazard associated with_this activity was the exposure to low level radioactive materials principally radioactive dust. The Eldorado Mining and Refining Co. ltd. established an ore dressing facility similar to the Mines BranCh site in 1956. This research facility continued.the semi?industrial scale pilot plant studies initiated by the N?nes Branch at their Lydia St. site.

Selected tannery- sites, paint works, large dyers and cleaners, metal plating operations and boiler works/ foundries were included to represent those sites within the respective industrial Operations that were most likely to have wastes remnant on site and to pose a potential environmental impact. Three govermnent labs and workshops, the very large Ottawa railway car manufacturing site and a porcelain and carbon works suspected of handling coal tars were also included in the group of 53 sites. Site reconnaissance visits and - an information sheet were completed for each of the 53 former sites selected for further study. Appendix contains the completed information sheet and a copy of an historical map for each of these 53 sites. Each of the 53 sites were reviewed to determine the potential for off?site migration and the likelihood that adjacent properties may also be contaminated. Where this was considered likely the direction of potential off?site migration was noted on the fact sheet for each site. In general, off-site migration was not considered a significant concern in this study. Based upon data collected during the detailed assessment phase the 53 sites and the other 124 sites were grouped into three categories, Group I, II and based on potential for environmental impact. The characteristics of each of these Groups are discussed below. 3.5.1 Group Sites Group sites are low priority sites where it is unlikely that significant quantities of waste exist at the sites today and therefore the potential for environmental impacit is minimal. Because 93 of the low probability of wastes at these sites redevelopment of these properties including excavation is not likely to increase potential environmental immemis. Group sites include many of the railway roundhouses and workshops, foundries, tanneries, dyeing and cleaning works and some small hulk fuel storage facilities. Thirty of the 53 'sites Were included. in. Group and are listed on Table 3.5. Although. not individually' listed in 'Iable 3.5, the 124 sites not subject to detailed assessment can be broadly grouped with the Group sites due to their low potential for on-site wastes and .environmental impact. 3.5.2 Group II Sites Eighteen sites were listed in Group II (Table 3.6) as having sufficient evidence to indicate that wastes are likely remnant at the site. ?Although wastes Hey be present at these sites, the exposure of such wastes at the site and the site proximity to water resources are m21mm mm axumimJat these sites. Hewever at all of these sites future development involving excavation should be conducted with caution and the knowledge that wastes are likely present in the subsurface soils. Soils excavated from these sites may be considered hazardous and Regulation 309 leachate testing of soils is recommended at these sites prior to excavation to confirm the appropriate disposal of excavated material. Group II sites include. eleven_ bulk fuel storage: facilities, three asphalt plants, two government sites, the Cttawa Paint works and the Eustbane manufacturing Co. (late) site. 3.5.3 Group I Sites Five sites are included in Group I (Table 3 .7).

Group 1 sites include two bulk fuel storage facilities, two coal gasification plants and a coal tar distillation plant. Short descriptions of these sites are provided below. 3.5.3.1 Site NO. 12, Currie Products Ltd. The Currie Products Ltd. coal tar distillation plant was located at 170 lees Avenue from about 1922 to the late 19605. Coal tar distillation using a batch still was performed on site from about 1922 to 1949. The site is now occupied by a high rise apartment building with underground parking garages and is adjacent to the Rideau River. A City of Ottawa storm sewer traverses the east Side of the site and discharges to the Rideau River. Coal tar has been detected in several exploratory boreholes drilled beside the apartment building and adjacent to the storm sewer by the Ontario Ministry of the Enviromnent. Coal tar has also been documented as seeping into the lower parking garage of the building through cracks in the floor and walls. Access to the lower parking garage has been restricted. Potential environmental impacts at this site include degradation of air quality in the lower parking garage, direct human contact with coal tar wastes in the lower parking garage and seepage of tar along the sewer bedding material to the Rideau River. Remedial investigations are planned for this site and therefore pending the results of these studies recommendations at this site are not warranted. 3.5.3.2 Site NO. 14, Ottawa Gas Works The Ottawa Gas Co. and other companies operated a large coal and oil gasification plant at 175 Lees Avenue from about 1920 to 1957. 99 Today, the site is occupied by the lees Avenue 'I?ransitway Station and a high rise apartment building. Environmental problems at this site were documented in 1986 with the discovery of coal tar wastes in the rI?ransitway Station and the Rideau River. These problems culminated in the installation of a groundwater collection and treatment system at the Transitway Station and an extensive Cleanup of the Rideau River. Tar wastes remain on site on the 'I?ransitway Station property and operation of the treatment system will be required as long as the Transitway Station operates. The apartment building property at 169 Lees Avenue is currently under development including excavation for the. construction of a parking garage and a second apartment building. Potential environmental impacts at this site include degradation of air quality and worker exposure to hazardous coal tar wastes during excavation of the base of the main gas holding tank. The property owner has however retained a consultant to develop and implement health and safety and waste management plans for the site. The excavation of the site is being undertaken with concurrence of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and therefore at this time recommendations for further action are not required. 3.5.3.3 Site No. 22, F.W. Argue Fuel Oil Depot The F.W. Argue Fuel Oil Depot was a bulk fuel oil storage facility located at the southwest corner of Railway and Hickory Streets from about 1920 to the late 1950s or 1960s. In later years (c1956) fuel oil was stored in eight 12,000 gal underground tanks and the site was operated by Sunoco Oil Co. as their terminal station for home fuel oil storage. Fuel oil wastes were evident both on?site and off-site during the site Visit. At the time of the site visit (April, 1988) a partially backfilled and water filled excavation was evident in the area of the underground tanks suggesting that the tanks had been 100 recently removed. Oily sheens were evident on the water in the excavation and an oily odour was evident on?site. In addition to the on?site impacts, the fuel oil wastes have migrated off?site to an I adjacent railway cut. Oily contaminated seepage was observed discharging from the soil and bedrock of the railway cut. Exposure to the off?site wastes are lessened by the fence erected on both sides of the railway lines. The site is currently used for parking of new cars. Since the site visit, the prOperty owners at this site have undertaken remedial actions including removal of all underground tanks and contaminated soils. Vertical interceptor wells have been installed to collect any remnant product. The cleanup of this site is underway with concurrence of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and therefore recommendations for further action at this site are not warranted. 3.5.3.4 Site No. 129, Imperial Oil Co. Ltd. The Imperial Oil Co. Ltd. operated a very large bulk gasoline and oil storage facility on a peninsula in the Ottawa River from sometime in the 1950s to the 1960s. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of gallons were stored at this site. The site is now a National Capital Commission park knowm as Richmond Landing. Although wastes were not evident at the site during the site visit, the location of the site combined with the size of the operation indicates a high potential for environmental impact. It is likely that hydrocarbons and lead are present in the soils at this site and some leaking of these wastes has likely occurred in the past and may be occurring today. There is potential for contaminated groundwater to leach to the Ottawa River and therefore potential for environmental impact. Recommendations for further action at this site include a drilling, soil sampling, soil gas sampling and water sampling program to quantify the extent and levels of suspected contamination at the site . 101 3.5.3.5 Site No. 140, Bytown Gas Works From 1854 to sometime in the late 19105, the Bytown Consumers Gas co. and later the Ottawa Gas Co. operated a coal gaSification plant at the southwest corner of King Edward and York Streets. This site is now occupied by Public Works Canada government office building with below grade construction; Environmental impacts at this site were documented in 1986 with the excavation of coal tar contaminated soil during building redevelopment and the observation of coal tar in the building sump. On site investigations were performed by the property owner and indicated coal tar contamination in the majority of exploratory boreholes and the potential for off-site migration of these wastes. Potential environmental impacts exist at this site today in the form of off?site migration of tar contaminants and exposure of workers to tar in the basement smrp. Recommendations for further action at this site include the performance of an off-site drilling and sampling program to define the extent of coal tar contamination in the area of the site. 3.6 FORMER IANDFILL SITES Former landfill sites were not specifically researched in this study but are identified from the results of earlier city, provincial and federal landfill inventory studies and are listed in Table 3 . 8 and shown on Map. 1. Inventory studies reviewed included City of Ottawa studies (Gartner Lee Associates, 1980; 1984; 1988; City of Ottawa Minutes, 1945) provincial studies (Ontario Ministry of the Environment, 1980) and federal studies (M.M. Dillon Ltd., 1984) . landfill sites numbered L?l to 11?42 were identified from the above inventory studies. Sites L-18 and Ir19 were not located in the earlier studies and are not shown on Map 1. Site was an Agriculture Canada disposal site for suspected pesticide and other wastes and was recently identified and tested by Environment Canada.

RECOMMENDATIONS The 177 former industrial sites identified in this report were assessed for potential environmental impact and based on potential for environmental impact these sites were categorized into three groups I, II, and Group recommendations are developed for sites in Groups and II and individual site recommendations are developed for sites in Group I. One hundred and fifty-four sites were included in Group Group sites are low priority sites where it is unlikely that significant quantities of waste exist at the sites today and therefore the potential for environmental impact, even considering redevelopment and excavation, is minimal. No recommendations for further action are considered necessary for these sites. Eighteen sites are include in Group II as having sufficient evidence to indicate that wastes may be remnant in the soil and groundwater of the site. For all sites included in Group II it is recommended any future development involving excavation be conducted with caution and the knowledge that wastes are likely present in the subsurface soils. Soils excavated from these sites may be considered registerable solid or hazardous waste and Regulation 309 leachate testing of soils is recommended at these sites prior to excavation to confirm the appropriate disposal of excavated material. Sites in Group II should be identified on the City of Ottawa Development Information System (DIS) to ensure that prospective developers are cognizant of potential site hazards. Five sites are included in Group I as having sufficient evidence to indicate that wastes are likely present on?site and that there is high potential for environmental impact. rIfhese sites include Site No. 12 -- Currie Products Ltd., Site No. 14 Ottawa Gas Works, Site No. 22 -- F.W. Argue Fuel Oil Depot, Site No. 129 - Imperial Oil 107 Ltd., and Site No. 140 Bytown Gas Works. These sites should also be listed on the City of Ottawa Development Diformation System. At the Currie Products Ltd. site, remedial investigations are reconuna?lded to assist in site clean?up and to evaluate the potential coal tar migration pathway of the bedding material of the adjacent City of Ottawa storm sewer. Such studies are planned and pending the results of these studies further recommendations at this site are not warrantei. Reconmendations for the Ottawa Gas Works Lees Avenue) site are similarly not required at this time as property miners at the site have retained consultants to assist in site clean up and remediation 'with the approval of the Ontario Ministry of the Elwironment. i . Since identification of the F.W. Argue Fuel Oil Depot site, the property owners have undertaken site remediation and cleanup including removal of underground tanks and contaminated soil. As this cleanup is being conducted with the knowledge of the Ontario Ministry of the Eirvironment, recommendations for furtheraction at this site are also not required. At the Imperial Oil Co. Ltd. bulk gasoline and oil storage facility there is potential for contaminated groundwater to leach to the Ottawa River and therefore exploratory investigations are recommended to quantify the extent and levels of suspected contamination at the site. A shallow soil, soil gas and groundwater sampling program is recommended at this site. The 13th Gas Work site has potential for off?site migration of coal tar and coal tar contaminated groundwater. Recommendations for further action at this site include the performance of an off-site drilling and soil sampling program to define the extent of coal tar contamination in the area of the site.
