1604-00953: Richcraft – 741 Bernard 2011-11-01

Estimated Water Demand

Water demand may be estimated based on the City of Ottawa Watermain Distribution
Guidelines, July 2010.

Estimated Population:
51 Townhouse units (Terrace flats) x 2.7 p / unit = 137.7p

Average Daily Demand:

350 L L L
Qavg = 137.7 p × = 48,195 = 0.56
p⋅d d s

Maximum Daily Demand:

L L 1d L
Qmax_ daily = 48,195 × 2.5 = 120,488 × = 1.40
d d 86,400 s s

Peak Hourly:
L 1d L
Q peak _ hourly = 120,488 × 2 .2 × = 3.12
d 86,400 s s

Fire Flow Demands must be provided by mechanical consultants. For boundary

conditions requests, a preliminary fire flow demand of 10,000 L/min can be used.

Product Description
Our LMF ICD is designed to accommodate catch basins or
manholes with sewer outlet pipes 6" in diameter and larger.
Any storm sewer larger than 12" may require custom
modification. However, IPEX can custom build a TEMPEST
device to accommodate virtually any storm sewer size.

Available in 14 preset flow curves, the LMF ICD has the ability
to provide flow rates: 2lps – 17lps (31gpm – 270gpm)

The LMF ICD vortex flow action allows the LMF ICD to provide
a narrower flow curve using a larger orifice than a conventional =
orifice plate ICD, making it less likely to clog. When comparing
flows at the same head level, the LMF ICD has the ability to
restrict more flow than a conventional ICD during a rain event,
preserving greater sewer capacity.

the propagation of odour and floatables. =
With this device, the cross-sectional area
of the device is larger than the orifice
diameter and has been designed to limit
head losses. The HF ICD can also be ordered without flow
control when only odour and floatable control is required.

TEMPEST HF (High Flow) Sump: The height of

a sewer outlet pipe in a catch basin is not
always conveniently located. At times it may
be located very close to the catch basin
floor, not providing enough sump for one of
the other TEMPEST ICDs with universal
back plate to be installed. In these The HF Sump is available to accommodate low to no sump
applications, a HF Sump is offered. The HF applications in both square and round catch basins:
Sump offers the same features and benefits as the HF ICD;
however, is designed to raise the outlet in a square or round
catch basin structure. When installed, the HF sump is fixed in
place and not easily removed. Any required service to the Square Round
device is performed through a clean-out located in the top of Catch Basin Catch Basin
the device which can be often accessed from ground level.

TEMPEST MHF (Medium to High Flow):

The MHF plate or plug is designed to control
flow rates 9 L/s (143 gpm) or greater. It is not
designed to prevent the propagation of odour

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Paterson Group (Paterson) was commissioned by Richcraft Group of Companies to

conduct a geotechnical investigation for a proposed residential development to be
located at 741 Bernard Street, in the City of Ottawa, Ontario (refer to Figure 1 - Key
Plan in Appendix 2 of this report).

The objectives of the current investigation were to:

‘ Determine the subsoil and groundwater conditions at this site by means of test
holes.

‘ Provide geotechnical recommendations for the design of the proposed

development including construction considerations which may affect the design.

The following report has been prepared specifically and solely for the aforementioned
project which is described herein. It contains our findings and includes geotechnical
recommendations pertaining to the design and construction of the subject development
as they are understood at the time of writing this report.

Investigating the presence or potential presence of contamination on the subject

property was not part of the scope of work for this geotechnical investigation. A
Phase I - Environmental Site Assessment was completed by Paterson for this site and
is presented under a separate cover.

2.0 PROPOSED PROJECT

It is understood that the proposed development will consist of three residential blocks
of 2.5-3.5 stories. It is further understood that each residential block will have one (1)
basement level. Associated parking and landscaped areas are also anticipated for the
proposed development.

3.0 METHOD OF INVESTIGATION

3.1 Field Investigation

Field Program

The field program for the investigation was carried out on April 4, 2003 and May 23 and
24, 2002. At that time, eleven (11) boreholes were advanced to a maximum depth of
4.5 m. The locations of the test holes are shown on Drawing PG2531-1 - Test Hole
Location Plan included in Appendix 2.

The boreholes were drilled using a truck-mounted auger drill rig operated by a two
person crew. All fieldwork was conducted under the full-time supervision of Paterson’s
geotechnical division under the direction of a senior engineer. The drilling procedure
consisted of augering to the required depths at the selected locations and sampling the
overburden.

Sampling and In Situ Testing

Soil samples from the boreholes were recovered from the auger flights or using a
50 mm diameter split-spoon sampler. All soil samples were visually inspected and
initially classified on site. The auger and split spoon samples were placed in sealed
plastic bags. All samples were transported to our laboratory for further examination
and classification. The depths at which the auger and split spoon samples were
recovered from the test holes are shown as, AU and SS, respectively, on the Soil
Profile and Test Data sheets presented in Appendix 1.

The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was conducted in conjunction with the recovery
of the split spoon samples. The SPT results are recorded as “N” values on the Soil
Profile and Test Data sheets. The “N” value is the number of blows required to drive
the split spoon sampler 300 mm into the soil after a 150 mm initial penetration using
a 63.5 kg hammer falling from a height of 760 mm.

Diamond drilling was carried out in one (1) borehole to determine the nature of the
bedrock. The recovery value and the rock quality designation value (RQD) were
calculated for each drilled section (core run) of bedrock and are shown on the borehole
logs. The recovery value is the ratio, in percentage, of the length of the bedrock
sample recovered over the length of the drilled section (core run). The RQD value is
the ratio, in percentage, of the total length of sound rock pieces longer than 100 mm
in one core run over the length of the core run. Both values are indicative of the quality
of the bedrock.

741 Bernard Street - Ottawa

The subsurface conditions observed in the boreholes were recorded in detail in the
field. The soil profiles are logged on the Soil Profile and Test Data sheets presented
in Appendix 1.

Groundwater

Flexible standpipes were installed in the majority of the boreholes to permit monitoring
of the groundwater levels subsequent to the completion of the sampling program.

3.2 Field Survey

The test hole locations were selected in the field by Paterson personnel to provide
general coverage of the proposed development taking into consideration site features.
The ground surface elevations at the borehole locations were referenced a temporary
benchmark (TBM) consisting of the top of spindle of the fire hydrant located southwest
of the subject site. A geodetic elevation of 69.79 m was provided for this TBM by
Richcraft Homes. The locations and ground surface elevations of the test holes are
presented on Drawing PG2531-1 - Test Hole Location Plan in Appendix 2.

3.3 Laboratory Testing

Soil samples were recovered from the subject site and visually examined in our
laboratory to review the results of the field logging.

3.4 Analytical Testing

One (1) soil sample was submitted for analytical testing to assess the corrosion
potential for exposed ferrous metals and the potential of sulphate attacks against
subsurface concrete structures. The sample was submitted to determine the
concentration of sulphate and chloride, the resistivity and the pH of the soil. The
results of the analytical testing are presented in Subsection 6.7.

4.0 OBSERVATIONS

4.1 Surface Conditions

At the time of the field program, the subject site was approximately at grade with
Bernard Street and was relatively flat. A maximum grade difference in ground surface
elevation of 0.8 m was measured between borehole locations. A three-storey brick
building with a basement level was occupying the western portion of the site. The
property was landscaped with grass and trees to the west of the building while the
ground was paved to the south and east of the existing building. Grass and gravel
areas existed east of the paved area on the east side of the existing building.
Demolition operations were underway at the time of the fieldwork, construction debris
was observed around the building.

4.2 Subsurface Profile

The subsurface profile at the borehole locations consists of topsoil, pavement structure
and/or fill materials overlying glacial till. Silty sand was encountered above the glacial
till at BH 3 and BH 4 (G8891). Bedrock was encountered below the glacial till at all
borehole locations with the exception of BH 1 (G8891), at depths ranging between 1.9
and 4.1 m.

The bedrock consisted of black shale. The recovery value from the rock core consisted
of 40%, while the RQD value was 40%. In general, the bedrock quality was noted to
be very poor to poor condition to 4.5 m depth.

Based on available geological mapping, the subject site is located in an area where the
bedrock consists of shale of the Billings Formation located at a 2 to 5 m depth.

Specific details of the subsurface profile at each test hole location are presented on the
Soil Profile and Test Data sheets in Appendix 1.

4.3 Groundwater

Groundwater levels were measured in piezometers installed at the borehole locations.

The measured groundwater levels are presented in Table 1 on the following page. It
should be noted that groundwater levels are subject to seasonal fluctuations.
Therefore, the groundwater level could vary at the time of construction.

5.0 DISCUSSION

5.1 Geotechnical Assessment

The subject site is considered suitable, from a geotechnical viewpoint, for the proposed
residential development.

The above and other considerations are further discussed in the following sections.

5.2 Site Grading and Preparation

Stripping Depth

Asphalt and deleterious fill, such as those containing organic materials, should be
removed from within the perimeter of the proposed buildings and other settlement
sensitive structures.

Foundation walls, underground services, and other construction debris should be

entirely removed from within the perimeter of the proposed buildings. Under paved
areas, existing construction remnants such as foundation walls, pipe ducts, etc., should
be excavated to a minimum depth of 1 m below final grade.

Bedrock Removal

Bedrock removal can be accomplished by hoe ramming where only a small quantity of
the bedrock needs to be removed. Sound bedrock may be removed by line drilling and
controlled blasting and/or hoe ramming.

Fill Placement

Fill used for grading beneath the building areas should consist, unless otherwise
specified, of clean imported granular fill, such as Ontario Provincial Standard
Specifications (OPSS) Granular A or Granular B Type II. This material should be
tested and approved prior to delivery to the site. The fill should be placed in lifts no
greater than 300 mm thick and compacted using suitable compaction equipment for the
lift thickness. Fill placed beneath the building areas should be compacted to at least
98% of its standard Proctor maximum dry density (SPMDD).

Excavated shale deteriorates upon exposure to air and is not generally suitable for re-
use as an engineered fill. The use of imported granular fill is recommended.

Report: PG2531-1
January 17, 2012 Page 6
patersongroup Geotechnical Investigation
Ottawa Kingston North Bay Proposed Residential Development
741 Bernard Street - Ottawa

Non-specified existing fill along with site-excavated soil can be used as general
landscaping fill where settlement of the ground surface is of minor concern. These
materials should be spread in thin lifts and at least compacted by the tracks of the
spreading equipment to minimize voids. If these materials are to be used to build up
the subgrade level for areas to be paved, the material should be compacted in thin lifts
to a minimum density of 95% of the respective SPMDD. Non-specified existing fill and
site-excavated soils are not suitable for use as backfill against foundation walls unless
a composite drainage blanket connected to a perimeter drainage system is provided.

5.3 Foundation Design

Bearing Resistance Values

Footings placed over a compact glacial till bearing surface can be designed using a
bearing resistance value at Serviceability Limit States (SLS) of 150 kPa and a factored
bearing resistance value at Ultimate Limit States (ULS) of 225 kPa, incorporating a
geotechnical resistance factor of 0.5.

An undisturbed soil bearing surface consists of one from which all topsoil and
deleterious materials, such as loose, frozen or disturbed soil, have been removed prior
to the placement of concrete for footings.

The bearing resistance value given for footings at SLS will be subjected to potential
post construction total and differential settlements of 25 and 15 mm, respectively.

Footings placed over a clean, shale bedrock surface can be designed using a factored
bearing resistance value at ULS of 1,500 kPa, incorporating a geotechnical resistance
factor of 0.5, and a bearing resistance at SLS of 500 kPa.

Footings bearing on surface sounded bedrock and designed using the above
mentioned bearing pressures will be subjected to negligible post-construction total and
differential settlements.

5.4 Design for Earthquakes

The site class for seismic site response can be taken as Class C for the foundations
considered at this site. A higher site class, such as Class B or A, may be applicable
for this site, but would need to be confirmed by site specific shear wave velocity testing.
The soils underlying the subject site are not susceptible to liquefaction. Reference
should be made to the latest revision of the Ontario Building Code for a full discussion
of the earthquake design requirements.

Report: PG2531-1
January 17, 2012 Page 7

Ottawa Kingston North Bay Proposed Residential Development
741 Bernard Street - Ottawa

5.5 Basement Slab

With the removal of all topsoil and deleterious fill, containing organic matter, the native
soil surface will be considered to be an acceptable subgrade surface on which to
commence backfilling for floor slab construction. Provision should be made for proof-
rolling the soil subgrade using heavy vibratory compaction equipment prior to placing
any fill. Any soft areas should be removed and backfilled with appropriate backfill
material. OPSS Granular B Type II is recommended for backfilling below the floor slab.
It is recommended that the upper 200 mm of sub-slab fill consist of 19 mm clear
crushed stone.

5.6 Rock Anchor Design

It is expected that rock anchors will be required to resist seismic uplift forces. The
geotechnical design of grouted rock anchors in sedimentary bedrock is based upon two
possible failure modes. The anchor can fail either by shear failure along the grout/rock
interface or by pullout of a 60 to 90 degree cone of rock with the apex of the cone near
the middle of the bonded length of the anchor.

Assuming an apex angle of 60° for the failure cone, it is likely that interaction will
develop between failure cones of anchors. As a result, the following recommendations
are provided on the assumption that group interaction will occur between the anchors.
The effect of assuming group interaction is a reduction in the overall strength of each
anchor; therefore, this assumption is considered conservative.

A third failure mode of shear failure along the grout/steel interface should also be
reviewed by the structural engineer to ensure all typical failure modes have been
reviewed.

It is also recommended, where applicable, that anchors in close proximity to each other
be grouted at the same time. This will ensure that any fractures or voids are
completely in-filled and that fluid grout does not flow from a grouted hole to an adjacent
empty hole.

Anchors can be of the “passive” or the “post-tensioned” type, depending on whether

the anchor tendon is provided with a post-tensioned load prior to being put into service.

To resist seismic uplift pressures, a passive rock anchor system can be used. It should
be noted that a post-tensioned anchor will take the uplift load with much less potential
deflection than a passive anchor.

Report: PG2531-1
January 17, 2012 Page 8
patersongroup Geotechnical Investigation
Ottawa Kingston North Bay Proposed Residential Development
741 Bernard Street - Ottawa

Regardless of whether an anchor is of the passive or the post tensioned type, it is

recommended that the anchor be provided with a bonded length, or fixed anchor
length, at the base of the anchor, which will provide the anchor capacity. In addition,
each anchor should have an unbonded length, or free anchor length, between the rock
surface and the start of the bonded length. Since the depth at which the apex of the
shear failure cone develops is midway along the bonded length, a fully bonded anchor
would tend to have a much shallower cone, and therefore less geotechnical resistance,
than one where the bonded length is limited to the bottom part of the overall anchor.

Permanent anchors should be provided with corrosion protection. As a minimum, this

requires that the entire drill hole be filled with cement grout. The free anchor length is
provided by installing a plastic sleeve to act as a bond break within the fully grouted drill
hole.

Grout to Rock Bond

The unconfined compressive strength of the shale at this site ranges between about
50 and 80 MPa, which is stronger than most routine grouts. A factored tensile grout
to rock bond resistance value at ULS of 1.0 MPa, incorporating a resistance factor of
0.3, can be used. A minimum grout strength of 40 MPa is recommended.

Rock Cone Uplift

As discussed previously, the geotechnical capacity of the rock anchors depends on the
dimensions of the rock anchors and the configuration of the anchorage system. Based
on existing bedrock information, a Rock Mass Rating (RMR) of 44 was assigned to
the bedrock, and Hoek and Brown parameters (m and s) were taken as 0.183 and
0.00009, respectively.

Report: PG2531-1
January 17, 2012 Page 9

Parameters Used for Rock Anchor Review

Parameters used to calculate rock anchor lengths are provided in Table 2.

The fixed anchor length will depend on the diameter of the drill holes. Recommended
anchor lengths for a 75 mm and 125 mm diameter holes are provided in Table 3. The
factored tensile resistance values given in Table 3 are based on a single anchor with
no group influence effects.

It is recommended that the anchor drill hole diameter be a minimum of 2 times the rock
anchor tendon diameter and that the anchor drill holes be inspected by geotechnical
personnel and should be thoroughly flushed clean prior to grouting. The use of a grout
tube to place grout from the bottom up in the anchor holes is further recommended.

The geotechnical capacity of each rock anchor should be proof tested at the time of
construction. More information on testing can be provided upon request.

5.7 Pavement Design

Minimum Performance Graded (PG) 58-34 asphalt cement should be used for this
project. If soft spots develop in the subgrade during compaction or due to construction
traffic, the affected areas should be excavated and replaced with OPSS Granular B
Type II material.

The pavement granular base and subbase should be placed in maximum 300 mm thick
lifts and compacted to a minimum of 98% of the material’s SPMDD using suitable
vibratory equipment.

Ottawa Kingston North Bay Proposed Residential Development
741 Bernard Street - Ottawa

6.0 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PRECAUTIONS

6.1 Foundation Drainage and Backfill

It is recommended that a perimeter foundation drainage system be provided for the

proposed structures. The system should consist of a 100 to 150 mm diameter
perforated corrugated plastic pipe, surrounded on all sides by 150 mm of 10 mm clear
crushed stone, placed at the footing level around the exterior perimeter of the structure.
The pipe should have a positive outlet, such as a gravity connection to the storm
sewer.

Backfill against the exterior sides of the foundation walls should consist of free-draining
non frost susceptible granular materials. The greater part of the site excavated
materials will be frost susceptible and, as such, are not recommended for re-use as
backfill against the foundation walls, unless used in conjunction with a drainage
geocomposite layer, such as Miradrain G100N or Delta Drain 6000, connected to the
perimeter foundation drainage system. Imported granular materials, such as clean
sand or OPSS Granular B Type I granular material, should otherwise be used for this
purpose.

6.2 Protection of Footings Against Frost Action

Perimeter footings of heated structures are required to be insulated against the

deleterious effects of frost action. A minimum of 1.5 m of soil cover alone should be
provided in this regard.

Exterior unheated footings, such as those for isolated exterior piers, are more prone
to deleterious movement associated with frost action than the exterior walls of the
structure proper and require additional protection, such as soil cover of 2.1 m or a
combination of soil cover and foundation insulation.

6.3 Excavation Side Slopes

The side slopes of excavations in the soil and fill overburden materials should be either
cut back at acceptable slopes or should be retained by shoring systems from the start
of the excavation until the structure is backfilled. It is assumed that sufficient room will
be available for the greater part of the excavation to be undertaken by open-cut
methods (i.e. unsupported excavations).

Report: PG2531-1
January 17, 2012 Page 12
patersongroup Geotechnical Investigation
Ottawa Kingston North Bay Proposed Residential Development
741 Bernard Street - Ottawa

The excavation side slopes above the groundwater level extending to a maximum
depth of 3 m should be cut back at 1H:1V or flatter. The flatter slope is required for
excavation below groundwater level. The subsoil at this site is considered to be mainly
a Type 2 and 3 soil according to the Occupational Health and Safety Act and
Regulations for Construction Projects.

Excavated soil should not be stockpiled directly at the top of excavations and heavy
equipment should be kept away from the excavation sides.

Slopes in excess of 3 m in height should be periodically inspected by the geotechnical

consultant in order to detect if the slopes are exhibiting signs of distress.

It is recommended that a trench box be used at all times to protect personnel working
in trenches with steep or vertical sides. It is expected that services will be installed by
“cut and cover” methods and excavations will not be left open for extended periods of
time.

6.4 Pipe Bedding and Backfill

At least 150 mm of OPSS Granular A should be used for bedding for sewer and water
pipes when placed on soil subgrade. The bedding should extend to the spring line of
the pipe. Cover material, from the spring line to at least 300 mm above the obvert of
the pipe should consist of OPSS Granular A (concrete or PSM PVC pipes) or sand
(concrete pipe). The bedding and cover materials should be placed in maximum
225 mm thick lifts compacted to a minimum of 95% of the material’s SPMDD.

Where hard surface areas are considered above the trench backfill, the trench backfill
material within the frost zone (about 1.8 m below finished grade) should match the soils
exposed at the trench walls to reduce the potential differential frost heaving. The
trench backfill should be placed in maximum 300 mm thick loose lifts and compacted
to a minimum of 95% of the material’s SPMDD.

6.5 Groundwater Control

The contractor should be prepared to direct water away from all bearing surfaces and
subgrades, regardless of the source, to prevent disturbance to the founding medium.

The rate of flow of groundwater into the excavation through the overburden and
bedrock should be low for the expected subsurface conditions at this site. It is
anticipated that pumping from open sumps will be sufficient to control the groundwater
influx through the sides of the excavations.

Report: PG2531-1

Ottawa Kingston North Bay Proposed Residential Development
741 Bernard Street - Ottawa

6.6 Winter Construction

Precautions must be taken if winter construction is considered for this project. The
subsoil conditions at this site mostly consist of frost susceptible materials. In presence
of water and freezing conditions ice could form within the soil mass. Heaving and
settlement upon thawing could occur.

In the event of construction during below zero temperatures, the founding stratum
should be protected from freezing temperatures by the use of straw, propane heaters
and tarpaulins or other suitable means. In this regard, the base of the excavations
should be insulated from sub-zero temperatures immediately upon exposure and until
such time as heat is adequately supplied to the building and the footings are protected
with sufficient soil cover to prevent freezing at founding level.

The trench excavations should be carried out in a manner to avoid the introduction of
frozen materials, snow or ice into the trenches. Precaution must be taken where
excavations are carried in proximity of existing structures which may be adversely
affected due to the freezing conditions. In particular, it should be recognized that
where a shoring system is used, the soil behind the shoring system will be subjected
to freezing conditions and could result in heaving of the structure(s) placed within or
above frozen soil. Provisions should be made in the contract document to protect the
walls of the excavations from freezing, if applicable.

6.7 Corrosion Potential and Sulphate

The results of analytical testing show that the sulphate content is less than 0.1%. This
result is indicative that Type 10 Portland cement (normal cement) would be appropriate
for this site. The chloride content and the pH of the sample indicate that they are not
significant factors in creating a corrosive environment for exposed ferrous metals at this
site, whereas the resistivity is indicative of a non aggressive to slightly aggressive
corrosive environment.

Ottawa Kingston North Bay Proposed Residential Development
741 Bernard Street - Ottawa

6.8 Protection of Potential Expansive Bedrock

It is possible that expansive shale will be encountered at the subject site. A potential
for heaving and rapid deterioration of the shale bedrock exists at this site. To reduce
the long term deterioration of the shale, exposure of the bedrock surface to oxygen
should be kept as low as possible. The bedrock surface within the proposed building
footprint should be protected from excessive dewatering and exposure to ambient air.
To accomplish this a 50 mm thick concrete mud slab should be placed on the exposed
bedrock surface within a 48 hour period of being exposed. A 15 MPa lean concrete
may be used.

The excavated sides of the exposed bedrock should be sprayed with a bituminous
emulsion to seal bedrock from exposure to air and dewatering.

Another option for protecting the shale from deterioration is placing granular fill over the
exposed surface within a 48 hour period after exposure. Preventing the dewatering of
the shale bedrock will also prevent the rapid deterioration and expansion of the shale
bedrock. This can be accomplished by spraying bituminous emulsion as noted above.

7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

A materials testing and observation services program is a requirement for the provided
foundation design data to be applicable. The following aspects of the program should
be performed by the geotechnical consultant:

‘ Observation of all bearing surfaces prior to the placement of concrete.

‘ Sampling and testing of the concrete and fill materials used.

‘ Observation of all subgrades prior to backfilling.

‘ Field density tests to determine the level of compaction achieved.

‘ Sampling and testing of the bituminous concrete including mix design reviews.

A report confirming that these works have been conducted in general accordance with
our recommendations could be issued, upon request, following the completion of a
satisfactory materials testing and observation program by the geotechnical consultant.

1.0 Background

A new residential development is proposed for 741 Bernard Street, adjacent to Coventry Road north
of the St. Laurent Shopping Centre. It will consist of three multiunit buildings. Figure 1 shows the
location of this development, including a 500 metre radius circle centred on the development, and
indicating the types of land use within that circle.

Noise sources to be included in an assessment of noise impact for new developments include roads,
highways, rail lines, transitways, aircraft and stationary (industrial) installations. Each of these
possible sources is included and described in the City of Ottawa Environmental Noise Control
Guidelines. Their description specifies the details which must be included in the noise source, and
the extent to which they must be considered in an overall noise assessment. The following outlines
which noise sources relative to the 500 metre radius of the site must be included in the assessment
for this development, and the level of detail to be included in describing the noise source.

This site is bordered by Coventry Road about 50 metres to the south, individual buildings fronting
on St. Laurent Boulevard about 200 metres to the east and existing residential development on the
west and north. It is directly across Coventry Road from the St. Laurent Shopping Centre north
parking lot. Highway 417 (the Queensway) and the OC Transpo Transitway are to the south
beyond 500 metres from the site. The site is not within the Ottawa Airport NEF/NEP 25 contour,
so aircraft are not a noise source.

Noise impacts must be evaluated for Outdoor Living Areas and the planes of all exposed bedroom
windows and living/dining room windows in residential units. City of Ottawa ENCG define the
remedial noise attenuation actions that must be included in the building design for the bedroom and
living/dining room impact locations. Remedial actions include Notices on Title as well as structural
1
requirements, and are listed in Appendix A.

Outdoor Living Areas for multi-unit buildings can be private or common use areas designated for
recreational use by the unit occupiers. These areas can be at ground level or in some other location,
such as a rooftop patio or terrace, but usually do not include open balconies on individual units,
unless the balcony depth is 4 metres or more (ENCG Appendix B: Glossary and Definitions).
There is no indication of Outdoor Living Areas in the site plan of the development (Figure 2), and
the balconies are only 1.8 metres deep. Therefore, Outdoor Living Area requirements do not
apply to this development.

1.1 Identification of Road Traffic Noise Sources

The City’s Transportation Master Plan defines St. Laurent Boulevard as a major arterial, proposes
to develop Coventry Road into a 4-lane arterial in the future, and proposes to build a light rail
transitway along the route of the present OC Transpo Transitway beside the Queensway. The City
Environmental Noise Control Guidelines (ENCG) specify that arterial roads within 100 metres of a
proposed residential development, light rail transitways within 250 metres of the site, and
provincial highways within 500 metres of the site must be included as noise sources. St. Laurent
Boulevard, the Queensway and the proposed light rail route are beyond these distance limits, and so
were not included as noise sources. Therefore, traffic noise from Coventry Road as a 4-lane
arterial is the only road traffic noise source to be considered.

1.2 Identification of Stationary Noise Sources

Figure 1 refers to “influence areas” for Class I and Class II stationary sources. The ENCG
requirements for stationary sources refer to the Ontario Ministry of Environment documents D-6,
D-6-1 and D-6-3 which define the classes of stationary sources and their respective influence areas.
The influence areas shown in Figure 1 are the “Potential” Influence Areas defined in the MoE
documents for the two classes of stationary source noise (and adopted in the ENCG simply as the
“influence areas”. Any source lying on or within the arc of the influence area of that class of source
would need to be evaluated for noise impact on the proposed residential development.

Figure 1 also shows the types of commercial enterprises in the vicinity of the proposed
development. By comparison of these enterprises with the stationary noise source Class definitions
in D-6-1, they would all be classed as Class I sources. Accordingly, only the 70 metre radius
influence area arcs would apply, and it is noted that there are no such Class I sources between these
arcs and the proposed development.

Noise from the St. Laurent Shopping Centre, including its parking lots, might be considered to be a
stationary noise source. The principal noise sources on the shopping centre property are cars
moving in the parking lot and delivery trucks. The cars move at low speeds, and therefore produce
low noise levels, and the trucks do not operate on a regular schedule. The shopping centre would
therefore fit within the Class I industrial source definition in the Ontario Ministry of Environment
publication D-6-1. It lies outside the Class I influence area south of the development.

2
 NORTH

FIGURE 1: SITE LOCATION AND LAND USES WITHIN 500 METRES OF SITE

3
The ENCG also include auto dealerships as potential stationary noise sources. There is such a
dealership east of the development, on St. Laurent Blvd. However, again this should be considered
as a Class I industrial source, and again its effective influence area does not extend to the property
of the development.

It is further observed that a large part of the residential area north of the development would lie
within the influence areas of both the shopping centre and the auto dealership if they were
considered to be Class II sources. Since this residential area exists, the two stationary sources must
be Class I by previous determination.

2.0 Road Traffic Source Noise Levels

The ENCG define the traffic volumes that must be used in assessing noise according to the future
mature state of development of the relevant roads. The ENCG also define the traffic split between
cars, medium trucks and heavy trucks on the arterial, and the day/night split of the total traffic
volume.

Coventry Road is classified as an Urban Arterial in the City’s Transportation Master Plan.
Currently it is a 2-lane roadway with turning lanes at major intersections. The City’s project plans
to the year 2031 show that a widening of Coventry Road will occur in Phase 3 of the Master Plan.
Accordingly, the traffic volumes on Coventry used in this study were for a 4-lane undivided
arterial.

The traffic mix (in terms of vehicle types) and day/night split are defined in the City’s Guidelines
(Environmental Noise Control Guidelines Part 1: New Land Use Planning) for this road category:

TABLE 1
ROAD DEFINITIONS AND RELATED TRAFFIC DATA

23- 4-Lane Urban Arterial-Undivided 30,000 50-80 92/8 7 5

34 (4-UAU)

The Guidelines also specify the range of traffic speeds that should be used for noise assessment.
The range is 50 to 80kph for Coventry, but the current posted speed is 60kph. Accordingly, the
current posted speed of 60kph was used in this study..

For multi-lane roads that are close to the receiver locations, it is advisable to divide the total traffic
volume into each of the lanes or at a minimum, into the two directions on the road. It was assumed
in this study that the AADT volume is equally divided between the two directions on Coventry
Road, with the traffic in each direction located along the separating line of the two lanes in each
direction.
4
The following Table 2 shows the traffic volumes from Table 1 divided into directions as described
above, also divided between day and night volumes and also divided into automobiles, medium
trucks and heavy trucks according to the given percentages in Table 1.

TABLE 2
TRAFFIC VOLUME PARAMETERS

Coventry Road: AADT = 30,000; 15,000 per direction

Daytime (0700 Night time (2300
to 2259) to 0659) TOTALS
Automobiles (per direction): 12,144 1,056 13,200
Medium Trucks (per direction): 966 84 1,050
Heavy Trucks (per direction): 690 60 750
15,000

Total Automobiles (x2 dir.): 24,288 2,112 26,400

Total Medium Trucks (x2 dir.): 1,932 168 2,100
Total Heavy Trucks (x2 dir.): 1,380 120 1,500
30,000

With this data, and the geometric relationships of the east/west section and the north/south section
of Coventry Road to the development, noise from traffic on Coventry Road was modelled at
representative receptor locations on the buildings using the computer program STAMSON 5, which
is the model accepted by the City of Ottawa.

Note that only the day time noise levels were calculated in this study. If all factors concerning the
traffic mix, distances and speed limits are unchanged between day and night, and only the
percentage of traffic during the two periods and the averaging number of hours in each period
change, then the night time noise is directly related to the day time noise by a multiplying factor (or
a decibel adjustment, which is the logarithm of the multiplying factor). The multiplying factor is
the night time percentage divided by the day time percentage, multiplied by the daytime averaging
hours and divided by the night time averaging hours, as:

Multiplying Factor = Night percentage∕Day percentage × Day hours/Night hours

= 8% / 92% × 16 hours / 8 hours
= 16 / 92

The correction in decibels to the day time noise to obtain the night time noise is therefore:

Decibel correction = 10Log[16/92] = – 7.6dB

5
3.0 Noise at Receptor Locations

Under the City’s guidelines, Outdoor Living Areas (OLAs), the plane of bedroom windows and the
plane of living/dining room windows are the receptor locations on a building where noise levels
must be determined. No detailed floor plans of the proposed buildings are currently available, so
only the external noise levels at the receptor locations can be determined, as is required for Site
Plan Approval. When detailed floor plans and window placements are known, the noise levels at
the walls, as calculated here, will be used to define any required acoustic insulation in the exterior
walls to achieve the City’s indoor noise criteria. This is usually done for Building Permit
applications.

The computer model STAMSON is used to calculate road traffic noise levels at receptor locations.
Since the ground between Coventry Road and the site buildings is largely pavement, it is
considered to be acoustically reflective. This means there is no ground absorption effect on noise
transmission from the roads to the receptors, so the noise levels calculated by STAMSON will be
independent of relative height between the road and the receptor, and will therefore be the same for
all floors of the receptor buildings, along the same vertical line.

Figure 2 shows the locations of the noise calculation receptors on each building, indicated by an
arrowhead. Since there is no ground absorption of noise, the calculated noise levels at these
receptor locations apply at all heights on the buildings. The numbers attached to the receptors are
defined in the calculation results summarized in Table 3. There are no Outdoor Living Areas either
for individual units or as common areas. All receptor locations are therefore at the walls of the
buildings.

FIGURE 2: NOISE RECEPTOR LOCATIONS REFERENCED IN TABLE 3

There is shielding of some faces of the buildings against noise propagation from Coventry Road by
others of these buildings. The receptor locations have been chosen to represent the least amount of
6
shielding on a particular facade and by extension, the highest noise levels that would be
experienced on that facade. Figures B1 through B6 in Appendix B show the exposure of each of
the receptor locations to the Coventry Road noise source.

4.0 STAMSON Calculation Results

Appendix C contains the output data from the STAMSON calculations for day time noise levels at
these locations. Table 3 summarizes the STAMSON results of the noise level calculations at the
locations, and the actions required under the City’s Guidelines. Notice on Title refers to the
Warning Clause that must be registered on the Title of the indicated units.

Although St. Laurent Boulevard is beyond the distance where it would be required to be included as
a noise source, noise from traffic on St. Laurent was included in the calculation of noise levels on
the east wall of Block 3. As can be seen in the diagrams of Appendix B, Block 3 is effectively
shielded by buildings and houses along St. Laurent and along Prince Albert Street and Alesther
Street to the north and northeast of the site. Only a small gap between the auto dealership buildings
and a building on the northwest corner of St. Laurent and Coventry is available for sound
transmission to Block 3. Calculations by STAMSON showed that the noise impact from St.
Laurent on the east wall of Block 3 was some 10dBA below the noise at that location from
Coventry, which demonstrates that St. Laurent is not a significant noise source for this
development.

5.0 Conclusions and Recommendations

Table 3 provides the conclusions of this noise study in detail, and is summarized as follows:

(1) There are no Outdoor Living Areas in this development, so no recommendations for noise
attenuation of outdoor locations are needed.
(2) Block 1 and all walls in Block 3 except for its south wall are exposed to noise levels that are
low enough not to require special design of their exterior envelopes to achieve acceptable
indoor noise levels. Construction to Ontario Building Code standards will be sufficient to
provide for adequate sound insulation. However, all units in these blocks that have walls on the
west, east and south sides of the buildings will require a Type C notice on title, and must have
their heating systems sized to accommodate central air conditioning.
(3) If units along the south wall of Block 2 and the south wall of Block 3 have a living/dining room
adjacent to these walls, they will be exposed to daytime noise levels that will require special
design of the south walls to achieve acceptable indoor noise levels. This can probably be
accomplished by choosing windows of adequate sound insulating quality. Such units in Blocks
2 and 3 will also require a Type D notice on title, and installation of central air conditioning.
(4) If units along the south wall of Block 2 and the south wall of Block 3 have only bedrooms
adjacent to this wall, they will be exposed to night time noise levels that will NOT require
special design of the south wall to achieve acceptable indoor noise levels. Construction to OBC
standards will provide sufficient noise attenuation. However, the heating systems in these units
7
 must be sized to accommodate central air conditioning, and a Type C notice on title will be
required for these units.

Re: 741 Bernard Street

Site Plan Approval Noise Study
Response to City Comments

The City reviewed the referenced noise study (NOISE IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR SITE PLAN
APPROVAL 741 BERNARD STREET OTTAWA Urban Aerodynamics Ltd report dated 23
January, 2012) and provided the following comments:

3 iii. Noise Study

- An OLA assessment was not presented. Provide information for balconies and potential outside living areas
and the justification as to why an OLA was not assessed.
- Provide a scaled drawing showing all information within 500m as per the City of Ottawa Environmental
Noise Control Guidelines.

The following is our response to these comments.

OLA Assessment

“Section 1.0 Background” on page 2 of the report describes Outdoor Living Areas and specifically
mentions that open balconies on individual units are usually not considered to be Outdoor Living
Areas. This is based on the definition of an Outdoor Living Area in the Ottawa Environmental
Noise Control Guidelines (Appendix B, page B-6) which allow open balconies to be considered as
Outdoor Living Areas as long as they are 4 metres or more in depth. The balconies in this subject
development are 4 metres wide by 1.8 metres deep, and therefore do not qualify as Outdoor Living
Areas. [Note: this section of the noise report has been modified to make this reference to balconies
as Outdoor Living Areas clearer.]

Further, no Outdoor Living Areas, either for individual units or for common use of all residents, are
shown on the site plan drawing, and none are intended for the site. This information is provided on
page 6 in “Section 3.0 Noise at Receptor Locations” of the report.

Drawing showing all sources of noise within 500m radius

Figure 1 (Site Location) has been modified to show a 500m radius circle around the site, which
gives the scale of the drawing, and also includes a general description of the type of commercial
land use (i.e., other than residential) within the 500m radius. It also shows the “influence area”
boundaries for Class I and Class II stationary noise sources. This enabled a more complete
discussion in the report of stationary noise sources in the vicinity of the site.

As a result of these changes, the report has been modified, and is now shown as Modified 8 June,
2012.

Conditions of Service or Standards. To ensure the best outcome, Hydro Ottawa welcomes an
early discussion on the proposal.

Site Design/Landscaping:
1. Several non-native species and an invasive species (amur maple) are proposed for the
site. We recommend that the Landscape Architecture Consultant review the
proposed plant selection (particularly those previously highlighted) to ensure that
species and varieties have been selected that have a low potential to spread. Please
see attached a list of native species to use as reference.

2. Please update the “Plant List for Trees” to reflect all plant material shown on the
Landscape Plan (L1). Several species, including “AR” and “AS”, are omitted.

3. Depressed curbs are required and need to be labeled at all pedestrian connections.
Consider the use of bulb-outs within the parking lot areas to ease pedestrian
mobility.

4. Sidewalk along Bernard Street is required to be continuous and depressed across the
private access to the site.
5. Information Item: Shrubs proposed in ROW will require a maintenance agreement.

6. Proposed “AR” tree, located in the northwest corner, is labelled as being planted 2m
from a proposed coniferous tree. Spacing between trees must be a minimum
distance of 7m as per City of Ottawa tree planting guidelines.

7. Relocate accessible parking to be closer to Blocks 2 and 3. All accessible parking

needs to have depressed curbs to access the sidewalk.

8. Solid Waste Services is in the process of reviewing the design of the garbage room.
Comments will follow.

9. Forestry review regarding the tree conservation report is in process and comments
will follow.

10. Please clarify the labels on the elevations for Block 1. They appear to be incorrect.

11. Please clarify the purpose of the garage door on the north side of Block 1 adjacent to
the amenity area.

12. Please clarify the programming for the amenity area and a detailed design. The
proposed landscaping does not reflect an amenity area to be used by all residents.

13. The plans indicate that the tree “AR” in the northwest corner is to be planted 2m
from a proposed coniferous tree. Spacing between trees must be a minimum
distance of 7m. Please review the City’s tree planting guidelines.

Excerpt From Forestry’s Tree Planting Guidelines:

Maintain a minimum distance of 3 metres from all hydro transformers
Maintain a minimum distance of 7 metres between trees
Maintain a minimum distance from any walkway, driveway, fence, sound wall of
1.5 meters
Maintain a minimum of 2.5 metres form the curb for deciduous trees and 4.5
metres for coniferous trees
Maintain a minimum distance of 2.5 metres from fire hydrants and no planting in
front hydrants
Maintain a minimum of 10 metres form bus shelters and community mail boxes

14. Please clarify the existing chain link fence locations and the proposed fencing for the
boundaries of the property. Please include enhanced landscaping such as climbing
vines or shrubs along the boundary of the property, especially on the north and east
sides.

15. Based on the Landscape Plan, vegetation is proposed to be removed from the
adjacent property to the south. Please be advised that written permission is required
to do so and will be required prior to Site Plan approval.
 16. Please note the maximum parking space rate on the Site information table as per
Section 103 of the Zoning By-law.

17. Please clarify the material change between the concrete sidewalk and the asphalt
pathways. There is extensive asphalt on the site and concrete sidewalks throughout
the site are preferred.

18. Please clarify how interior bicycle storage will be managed. Will the structure be
included in the condominium? Will spaces be sold to individual units? It is also
unclear how bicycles will be locked up in the exterior bicycle storage areas. Confirm
that there will be racks to lock up bikes.

Engineering Comments

Site Servicing and Stormwater Management Plan

1. All details of SWM design must be shown on the site servicing plan, (i.e. volume,
depth and limit of ponding for 5 year and 100 year storm events).

2. Specify that the runoff coefficient is for 5 year return period. Also indicate the 100
year runoff coefficient in the report.

3. Extend the existing storm and sanitary sewers from Hardy Avenue to the middle of
Bernard Street and connect site to sewer extensions as per City Standards. Include
plan/profile of sewer extension and connection at main.

4. Relocate the catchbasin 5.3 in front of curb on right-of-way or provide an explanation

and more grading information showing the drainage pattern.

5. Notes include installation of clay seals. Provide location of clay seals. The
geotechnical report does not mention clay seals.

6. Information Item: Sewer service connections to main sewer – above spring line of
main as per std dwg S11 (for rigid main sewers) & S11.1 (for flexible main sewers).

7. Add a note on the plan, indicate “Connections by City, Excavation, backfilling and
reinstatement by contractor”.

8. Indicate minimum cover is 2.4 m, otherwise thermal insulation is required as per City
specifications, W21, W22, W23.

9. Show all existing water services and sewer type of material.

10. Show meter and remote on plan.

Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
11. Show locations of silt fencing and sediment & erosion control measures to be
implemented.

12. Please include: “The contractor shall implement best management practices, to
provide for protection of the area drainage system and the receiving watercourse,
during construction activities. This includes limiting the amount of exposed soil, using
filter cloth under the grates of catchbasins and manholes and installing silt fences
and other effective sediment traps. The contractor acknowledges that failure to
implement appropriate erosion and sediment control measures may be subject to
penalties imposed by any applicable regulatory agency.”

Site Grading Plan

13. Please revise design of CB 5.1 as water ponding against buildings or public lands is
not permitted.

14. Provide more elevations on the street to demonstrate if there is a ditch directing flow
towards CB 5.3.

15. Provide geotechnical letter supporting the grading plan.

16. Information Item: The proposed drainage swale shall be designed as per City of
Ottawa Standard Detail S29.

17. Provide slope information for the proposed drainage swale.

Other Comments

1. Asphalt Overlay
The proposed installation of services and utilities require a complete asphalt overlay,
curb to curb, crossing all road cuts. A utility circulation will also be required prior to
the issuance of the road cut permit.

2. MOE Approval
Required for City sewer main extensions.

3. Reports
i. Servicing Report
- All details of SWM design must be shown on the site-servicing plan, (i.e.
volume, depth and limit of ponding for 5 year and 100 year storm events).
- Provide time of concentration in the report (section 5.0)
- Provide Overall Runoff coefficient for 100 year events in Appendix C on the
first table.
- Provide more details for the ICD sizing of the catch basins on the right-of-way.
 - Provide a hydraulic analysis of the storm sewer for the storm sewer on Hardy
Street up to the next collector sewer.
- The City of Ottawa has issued a technical bulleting ISDTB-2012-1 on January
31st, 2012. One of the recommendations for the storm sewer capacity is to
use the typical historical storms and to include a design storm calculated on
the basis of a 20% increase of the City’s IDF curves.
- Provide correspondence and letter of agreement for the uncontrolled flow
south of the property (Hydro One Networks).
ii. Geotechnical Reports
- Provide depth of basement and elevation of the USF. The groundwater levels
of the site are higher than a standard USF elevation and if a sump pump is
proposed to drain the site on an already constrained City storm system, the
City is not supporting it.
iii. Noise Study
- An OLA assessment was not presented. Provide information for balconies and
potential outside living areas and the justification as to why an OLA was not
assessed.
- Provide a scaled drawing showing all information within 500m as per the City
of Ottawa Environmental Noise Control Guidelines.

Please revise the plan and resubmit for approval along with a summary of the changes made
to address the above comments. Your cover letter must indicate how each of the comments
has been addressed on the resubmission.

contact me.

Cheers

The following are boundary conditions, HGL, for hydraulic analysis at 741 Bernard St. (see attached
PDF for location).
IMPORTANT: The MaxDay (1.40L/s) and Fire Flow (167L/s) cannot be provided at this location
Available Fire Flow =122L/s assuming a residual of 20psi and a ground elevation of 68.7m.
Minimum HGL during Peak Hour = 109.6 m
Max Pressure Check HGL = 119.4 m
These are for current conditions and are based on computer model simulation.
Disclaimer: The boundary condition information is based on current operation of the city water
distribution system. The computer model simulation is based on the best information available at the
time. The operation of the water distribution system can change on a regular basis, resulting in a
variation in boundary conditions. The physical properties of watermains deteriorate over time, as such
must be assumed in the absence of actual field test data. The variation in physical watermain
properties can therefore alter the results of the computer model simulation. Fire Flow analysis is a
reflection of available flow in the watermain; there may be additional restrictions that occur between
the watermain and the hydrant that the model cannot take into account.

Subject: RE: 741 Benard Street.

Hi Josh.

As discussed we are looking for the water boundary conditions and any sewer constraint issues.

Please find attached PDFs demonstrating estimated water demand and estimated wastewater discharge for the subject
site. Our files indicate that the City had previously provided stormwater management criteria to contain storm events up to
the 100-year event, with a maximum discharge calculated via site area, a C coefficient value of 0.40, and existing T of C
of 20 minutes

1
It has been noted, however, that the existing storm sewer on Hardy avenue – the previously identified stormwater outlet
location – has capacity issues. An analysis of the existing off-site storm drainage patterns was prepared in 2003 for the
area, and has been modified and included above based on a recent site visit. The most upstream storm sewer appears to
have the least capacity, and will only allow approximately 42.0L/s additional discharge before filling completely.

It appears that rear yard drainage from the units to the north do not contribute to the Hardy street sewer, nor do the two
catchbasins at the intersection of Bernard and Hardy – they appear to be directed to the south, potentially connecting to a
storm sewer network at Coventry road. The development site appears to currently drain to both catchbasins at the
intersection of Hardy and Bernard, as well as a catchbasin at the southern property line that drains southward to a DICB
within the hydro corridor.

We can meet at your earliest convenience to discuss further if need be.

Thanks

Hi Tim,

I have discussed the situation with Infrastructure services, and as long as you control the site to the below noted SWM
Criteria C = 0.4 for a 5 year storm and hold up to a 100 year storm, we have no concerns in regards to the storm sewer
capacity.

Cheers

Josh

Hi Josh.

As discussed we are looking for the water boundary conditions and any sewer constraint issues.

Please find attached PDFs demonstrating estimated water demand and estimated wastewater discharge for the subject
site. Our files indicate that the City had previously provided stormwater management criteria to contain storm events up to
the 100-year event, with a maximum discharge calculated via site area, a C coefficient value of 0.40, and existing T of C
of 20 minutes

It has been noted, however, that the existing storm sewer on Hardy avenue – the previously identified stormwater outlet
location – has capacity issues. An analysis of the existing off-site storm drainage patterns was prepared in 2003 for the
area, and has been modified and included above based on a recent site visit. The most upstream storm sewer appears to
have the least capacity, and will only allow approximately 42.0L/s additional discharge before filling completely.

It appears that rear yard drainage from the units to the north do not contribute to the Hardy street sewer, nor do the two
catchbasins at the intersection of Bernard and Hardy – they appear to be directed to the south, potentially connecting to a
storm sewer network at Coventry road. The development site appears to currently drain to both catchbasins at the
intersection of Hardy and Bernard, as well as a catchbasin at the southern property line that drains southward to a DICB
within the hydro corridor.

We can meet at your earliest convenience to discuss further if need be.

Thanks
