EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PHH ARC Environmental Ltd. (PHH ARC) was retained on September 25, 2013 through
an Authorization to Proceed signed by Mr. Ray Williams, of Bentley Garage Holdings
Inc. (Client) to conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of the property
located at 4806 – 52 Street, Bentley, Alberta (hereafter referred to as the “Site”).
The Site was developed with one, two-storey industrial building (the Site Building)
occupied by Bentley Garage.
PHH ARC was advised by the Client that the purpose of the Phase I ESA was to assess
potential issues of environmental concern in relation to the sale of the Site.
The Phase I ESA was completed in general accordance with the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) document entitled Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, CSA
Standard Z768-01 dated November 2001, including a review of readily available
historical records, a review of readily accessible regulatory records, a Site visit,
interviews, an evaluation of information and reporting, subject to the limitations outlined
in Section 8.0 of this report.
Based on the Phase I ESA completed by PHH ARC, nothing was identified that is likely
to give rise to potential subsurface impacts in connection with the Site. As such, no
subsurface investigation work (Phase II ESA) is recommended at this time.
This Executive Summary is subject to the same standard limitations in the report and must be read in conjunction with the
entire report. This report has been issued without having received a response from Alberta Environmental and
Sustainable Resource Development and the Town of Bentley. Once a response from these parties is received, the
information will be reviewed by PHH ARC and, if there is any information that represents a potential issue of
environmental concern, a copy of the response will be forwarded to the Client under separate cover. Our conclusions and
recommendations may be amended based on this information.

The Site Building is a two-storey, slab-on-grade commercial building comprised of three
bays, containing office space and a warehouse/workshop area. The Site Building was
constructed in approximately 2004 and the mezzanine was utilized as storage at the
time of the Site visit. Three electric roll-up mechanical warehouse doors are located on
the north wall of the warehouse and one roll-up warehouse door is located on the west
wall of the warehouse.
Bentley Garage operates as an automotive repair businesses, which generates waste
oil, spent oil filters, spent varsol, and empty oil containers that are removed by Trennery
Services (a licensed waste disposal contractor) on an as needed basis.

3.0 HISTORICAL RECORDS REVIEW

3.1 Site Interviews and Records
The Site Representative indicated the following with respect to the historical occupancy
and operations at the Site:
 The Site Building was constructed in approximately 2004 on previously
undeveloped land;
 Occupants of the Site Building have included but are not limited to, auto repair
and office operations;
 No dry cleaning operations have historically taken place at the Site; and
 No retail fuel outlets (RFOs) have operated at the Site.
3.2 Aerial Photographs
Copies of aerial photographs dated 1949, 1962, 1969, 1976, 1982, 1987, 1992, 1998,
2003 and 2007 were obtained from Alberta Sustainable Resource Development’s Air
Photo Distribution and were reviewed by PHH ARC. In addition, PHH ARC also
reviewed Google™ Earth satellite imagery dated 2013. It should be noted that accurate
details could not be determined from the 2013 aerial due to clarity of the photograph. A

The Site appears to have been cultivated agricultural land from at least 1949 until 1992.
In 1998, the Site appears to be undeveloped vacant land and the current Site Building
was visible in 2004.
The surrounding areas to the south and west appear to have been cultivated agricultural
land and/or vacant undeveloped land until a surface water pond was developed to the
southwest. Commercial and/or industrial development is visible to the east in 1998 and
continues through to 2007. The surrounding areas to the north remained rural
homesteads with associated buildings and cultivated agricultural lands.

A main railway line is visible approximately 275 m east of the Site in the years 1949 to
2013. Creosote or copper chromium arsenic (CCA) used to treat railway ties has the
potential to impact soils in the vicinity of railway lines. These impacts are typically minor,
localized, and near the surface. Based on the distance from the Site, it is PHH ARC’s
opinion that this railway line is unlikely to give rise to potential subsurface impacts in
connection with the Site.
Based on PHH ARC’s review of the above-noted aerial photographs, nothing was
observed that is likely to give rise to potential subsurface impacts in connection with the
Site.
3.3 Opta Information Intelligence
PHH ARC contacted Opta Information Intelligence (Opta) to obtain Fire Insurance Plans
(FIPs) related to the Site and surrounding area, as well as Property Underwriters’
Reports (PURs) and Site Plans for the Site. A response from Opta indicated no FIPs,
Site Plans or PURs were available for the Site (see Appendix I).
3.4 City Directories
City directories have not been complied for the Town of Bentley and therefore were not
available for PHH ARC’s review.
3.5 Land Titles
A copy of the current land title was obtained by PHH ARC from the Spin 2 online
registry. Based on information listed within the title document, the Site is described as
“Lot 3; Block 1; Plan 9620070”. The land title indicated that “Bentley Garage Holdings
Inc.” was listed as the registered owner of the Site at the time of this assessment. No
liens or other encumbrances indicating potential environmental concern were noted
within the current title.
A copy of the current land title is included in Appendix II.
3.6 Previous Environmental Reports
No previous reports (i.e., Phase I ESAs, geological, or geotechnical reports) were
provided for PHH ARC’s review and, according to the Site Representative, none are
available.
3.7 Historical Summary
Based on the results of the historical review, nothing was identified that is likely to result
in potential subsurface impacts at the Site.

4.0 REGULATORY INFORMATION AND CORRESPONDENCE

4.1 Site Regulatory Information
PHH ARC requested copies of permits, approvals and registrations from the Site
Representative and was advised that there is no regulatory information with respect to
the Site.
4.2 The Town of Bentley
The Town of Bentley was contacted to search their records for the presence of landfills
or dumpsites, releases of controlled substances, presence of USTs or aboveground
storage tanks, environmental site assessments or reports, geotechnical information or
bylaw infractions pertaining to the Site.
At the time of writing this report, no response had been received from the Town of
Bentley. When a formal response is received, it will be reviewed by PHH ARC. If there
is any information that represents a potential issue of environmental concern, a copy of
the response will be forwarded to the Client under separate cover. Our conclusions and
recommendations may be amended based on this information.
A copy of PHH ARC’s request submitted to the Town of Bentley has been included in
Appendix II.
4.3 Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development
A search was conducted through the Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource
Development (ESRD) – Corporate Services, FOIP, Records and Information
Management Branch for scientific/technical information, which may include reports
documenting the nature and extent of soil, ground and surface water contamination;
remedial measures taken to clean-up the Site or status of the Site; and external
correspondence between the submitter and ESRD pertaining to the reports. At the time
of the issuance of this report, a response had not yet been received. When a formal
response is received, it will be reviewed by PHH ARC. If there is any information that
represents a potential issue of environmental concern, a copy of the response will be
forwarded to the Client under separate cover. Our conclusions and recommendations
may be amended based on this information.
A copy of ESRD’s correspondence is presented in Appendix II of this report.
In addition, a search was conducted through ESRD’s Environmental Site Assessment
Repository website (http://www.environment.alberta.ca/2948.HTML) for any scientific,
technical and wellsite reclamation information about assessed sites throughout Alberta.
Their search results indicated that no information was available for the Site or
surrounding properties within 100 m of the Site.
4.4 Alberta Energy Regulator
An Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) search was conducted through the Abacus
Datagraphics website (www.abacusdatagraphics.com). Their search results indicated

no spills, complaints, or current or historic oil and gas wells were present in the vicinity of
the Site, with exception of:
The following pipeline:
 Pipeline licence number 1973 – 3 approximately 170 m north of the Site. The
pipeline is reportedly constructed of steel and contains natural gas. No spills are
associated with this pipeline. Based on the distance of the pipeline from the Site,
it is PHH ARC’s opinion that it is unlikely to result in subsurface impacts at the
Site.
A copy of the map of the area has been included in Appendix II.
4.5 Alberta Environmental Law Centre
The Alberta Environmental Law Centre search results on Bentley Garage Holdings Inc.,
the current owner of the Site according to the most recent land title indicated that no
known enforcement actions have been issued against this party.
The full response from the Environmental Law Centre has been included in Appendix II.
4.6 Petroleum Tank Management Association of Alberta
A Petroleum Tank Management Association of Alberta (PTMAA) database search
indicated that there were no records of underground (USTs) or aboveground storage
tanks (ASTs) for the Site or any other adjacent properties searched.
The PTMAA database only includes information reported through registration or a survey
of abandoned sites completed in 1992. A copy of PTMAA’s correspondence is
presented in Appendix II of this report.
4.7 EcoLog ERIS
PHH ARC submitted a request to EcoLog Environmental Risk Information Services Ltd.
(ERIS) for a review of the following databases, as they pertain to the Site and
surrounding properties:
 PTMAA Fuel Storage Tanks dated 1985 to January 2012;
 PTMAA Retail Fuel Storage Tanks dated 2001 to June 2010;

 Alberta Waste Management Facilities – Certificates of Approval dated 1993 to
2010.
A copy of the EcoLog ERIS report is provided in Appendix III. Information obtained from
the above-noted sources indicated the following:
 No records were found for the Site or surrounding area.

Based on PHH ARC’s review of the above-noted information sources, nothing was
identified that is likely to result in potential subsurface impacts at the Site.
4.8 Regulatory Information Summary
Based on the regulatory information reviewed, nothing was identified that is likely to
result in potential subsurface impacts at the Site.

5.0 SITE VISIT

Ms. Lyn Wynnychuk of PHH ARC (see Appendix V for Assessor Qualifications)
conducted a Site visit on October 10, 2013 and was accompanied by the Site
Representative. The Site visit included a walk-through of accessible areas of the interior
of the Site Building and exterior areas of the Site while accompanied by the Site
Representative.
At the time of the Site visit, the ground surface was dry, and the weather was sunny.
The Site visit was documented with notes and photographs. The results of the Site visit
are discussed below. Photographs of some of the features noted during the Site visit
are attached in Appendix IV.
5.1 Hazardous Materials
Topic Findings
Oils, antifreeze, sealants, greases, lubricants, and selected additives were
observed in manufacturer-supplied containers, 20 L jugs or smaller for
Chemicals immediate use and for retail sales within the Site.
Various jerry cans were observed in the service bay of Site Building.
Waste oil filters generated by the shop are stored in one 250 L metal drum
located on the exterior of the Site Building.
Used batteries generated by the shop are stored within the interior of the
Site.
Used oil stored in one, 2,000 L metal AST was observed on the exterior of
Hazardous Waste
the Site Building.
Used antifreeze stored in one, 250 L metal AST was observed within the
Boy of the Site Building.
The above-mentioned hazardous wastes are picked up and hauled away for
off-Site disposal by Trennary Services, on an as-needed basis.
No spills or evidence of historic spills (i.e., staining) were observed in the chemical
storage areas noted above. The interior floor slab was observed to be in good condition
(i.e., no cracking or pitting), the chemicals appeared to be stored in an orderly fashion,
and the exterior sealed ground surfaces were also in good condition.
PHH ARC recommends that secondary containment systems be implemented on-Site to
minimize the potential environmental risks of future spills or releases in the chemical
storage areas.

5.2 Storage Tanks

5.2.1 Aboveground Storage Tanks
The following ASTs were observed on-Site during the Site visit:

Minor hydrocarbon staining (approximately 0.5 m2) was observed in various locations on
the concrete floor within the interior of the Site Building. No staining was observed on the
bare ground surface in the vicinity of the used oil AST. As such, the observed staining
is considered unlikely to give rise to subsurface impacts in connection with the Site.
However, consideration should be given to adding secondary containment systems to
minimize the potential environmental risks of future spills or releases on to the concrete
floor in the interior and exterior storage areas.
5.2.2 Underground Storage Tanks
No evidence of USTs (i.e. fill/vent pipes) was observed on-Site and none were reported
by the Site Representative.
5.3 Water and Wastewater
Topic Findings
Water Supply Communal Well. Groundwater is not used as a source of potable water at
Source the Site.
Water Use Water is primarily used for domestic-related activities.
Sanitary/Process
Municipal sanitary sewer system. No process wastewater is generated at
Wastewater
the Site. Wastewater is limited to sanitary effluent.
Receptor

Topic Findings
One dual chambered sump was located in the service bay within Site
Building. According to the Site Representative, oily water rarely enters the
sump located in the service bay. The oil is skimmed off the water using oil
absorbent pads on a regular basis and the remaining water within the sump
drains to the municipal sewer system. The oil absorbent pads are stored in
metal drums and hauled away for off-Site disposal by Little Dipper, as
needed. The sump is reportedly cleaned out on an as-needed basis by
utilizing a vac trailer. The condition of the sump was not observed at the
Pits, Sumps, or time of the Site visit, as a heavy piece of equipment was located in the
Lagoons sump area. The sump in the third bay is not utilized at this time. No fluids
were observed within this sump and the sump appeared to be in good
condition at the time of the Site visit.
Given the practices detailed above and the age of Site Building, the sumps
are considered unlikely to give rise to subsurface impacts in connection with
the Site.
No pits or lagoons were observed and none were reported by the Site
Representative.
Grease Traps None observed and none reported by the Site Representative.
Oil/Water
Separators
Storm Water Flow Storm water would likely run overland to percolate naturally through the soil
and Receptor or discharge into the municipal storm sewers.
Wells None observed and none reported by the Site Representative.
Watercourses,
Ditches, or None observed and none reported by the Site Representative.
Standing Water
PHH ARC did not conduct a compliance assessment of waste water management as
part of this Phase I ESA, disposal practices should be reviewed to ensure they are
allowed under municipal by-laws.
Consideration should be given to periodic inspections of the sumps’ integrity to verify
that oil from equipment being serviced cannot migrate to the subsurface underneath the
Site Building. If cracks or other deficiencies are observed during an inspection, the
sump should be repaired, and an assessment of surrounding soils should be conducted.
5.4 Polychlorinated Biphenyls
The use of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as dielectric fluids in electrical equipment
such as transformers, fluorescent lamp ballasts, and capacitors was common up to
about 1980. The Federal PCB Regulations, SOR/2008-273, regulate the manufacture,
import, export, sale, use and processing of PCBs. In addition, these regulations aim to
eliminate the use of high level PCBs (>500 mg/kg), as well as low level PCBs
(50-500 mg/kg) on or within 100 m of a “Sensitive Site” (e.g., drinking water treatment
facility, feed/food processing plant, child care facility, schools, hospitals, etc.), by
December 31, 2009. Light ballasts, pole top transformers, and other electrical

equipment with low level PCBs (50-500 mg/kg) in non-sensitive sites are aimed to be
eliminated by December 31, 2025.
Pole-mounted dry transformers were observed on the east portion of the Site.
Given the year of construction of the Site Building (circa 2004), it is unlikely that PCBs
are present in on-Site electrical or hydraulic equipment.
5.5 Asbestos-Containing Materials
Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are commonly found in building construction
materials (particularly in buildings constructed prior to 1986). Friable asbestos (friable
as defined as a material that can be crumbled, powdered or pulverized by hand
pressure) was widely used in spraying fireproofing until 1973, and in decorative or
finishing plasters, and thermal systems insulation until the early 1980s. Non-friable or
manufactured asbestos products were widely used in building construction including in
vinyl floor tiles, sheet flooring, ceiling tiles, pipe gaskets, roofing materials, asbestos
cement boards, and numerous other products until the mid-1980s. A very limited
number of non-friable asbestos products in limited quantities are still in use currently in
building construction.
Given the year of construction of the Site Building (circa 2004), it is unlikely that ACMs
are present.
PHH ARC did not conduct an asbestos survey as part of this Phase I ESA, nor was any
destructive or intrusive sampling or inspection conducted as part of this Phase I ESA.
The Site Representative advised PHH ARC that no asbestos surveys have been
previously conducted at the Site, and that an Asbestos Management Program has not
been developed for or implemented at the Site.
5.6 Lead-Based Paints
Although paints containing lead were banned from uses on exterior or interior surfaces
of buildings, furniture or household items produced in the 1970s, various commercial
paints (e.g. road paint) are still known to contain lead.
Given the year of construction of the Site Building (circa 2004), it is unlikely that paints
containing lead are present on Site Building interior surfaces.
5.7 Ozone-Depleting Substances
The bulk storage of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) was not observed. The Site
Representative reported that the bulk storage of ODSs has not been carried out at the
Site.
The Site Building possesses residential refrigeration units. These units may include
refrigerants, such as R22 or R12, that are noted within the phase-out schedules for
elimination in both Provincial and Federal regulations. No other sources of ODSs were
observed at the time of the Site visit.

5.8 Radon
Radon is a radioactive gas formed by naturally occurring radioactive breakdown of
uranium in soil, rock and water. Radon escapes from the ground and mixes with outdoor
air forming concentrations that are too low to be of concern; however, if radon enters a
building it can accumulate to higher levels. Health Canada has developed guidelines for
acceptable levels of radon in buildings; however, there are currently no regulations
governing acceptable levels of radon within buildings, and no requirements for testing or
mitigation if levels are found to exceed the current Health Canada guidelines. Testing
for radon in the Site Building was beyond the scope of this Phase I ESA. The Site
Representative reported that no radon surveys have been carried out at the Site.
5.9 Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation
Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation (UFFI) is composed of a mixture of
urea-formaldehyde resin, a foaming agent, and compressed air. It was used by injecting
the foam in exterior wood frame and masonry walls in order to insulate difficult to reach
cavities. It was primarily in use in residential construction from 1975 to 1978, though it
was in-use in commercial and industrial developments to a lesser degree. During the
mixing and curing of the insulation, as well as during its eventual deterioration, quantities
of formaldehyde gas would be released into the air causing accumulation within the
building. UFFI was banned in Canada in December 1980 as a precautionary measure to
evaluate health concerns due to the off-gassing of the formaldehyde gas.
Recent studies performed in structures containing UFFI reported non-significant levels of
interior formaldehyde gas. Given these findings, and the timeframe since the ban of
UFFI in Canada, structures still containing UFFI would most likely have low levels of
formaldehyde and would be considered a low risk for health concerns to the occupants
of these structures.
5.10 Mould or Microbial Contamination
The presence of mould or other microbiological contamination in buildings has become a
concern to building tenants and owners due to potential health effects on occupants and
users. Provincial Ministries of Labour have recently issued guidelines on enforced
regulations to protect the health of construction workers who are exposed to mould in
the course of building renovations. The presence of water leaks or high humidity can
cause the growth or amplification of mould within building environments.
A comprehensive inspection for mould, which would require intrusive testing, was not
performed as part of this Phase I ESA. Visible mould or water damaged areas were not
observed at the time of the Site visit. The Site Representative was not aware of the
presence of mould in the Site Building.

5.11 Air Emissions
Topic Findings
Washroom Vents Washroom vent exhausts are discharged through roof stacks.
Kitchen Vents None observed and none reported by the Site Representative.
Electricity Back-up
Generator On-Site
Site Building is heated via natural gas-fired heating. The
Heating/Cooling warehouse/workshop areas of all the bays within the Site Building are
System(s) heated via natural gas-fired suspended unit heaters and/or ceiling radiant
heaters. No cooling is provided to the remainder of the Site Building.
A ceiling fan was observed. The ceiling fan is used to exhaust fugitive
Process Vents
vehicle emissions to the Site exterior.
Odours No strong, pungent or noxious odours were identified.
The Site Representative indicated that (Bentley Garage Holdings Inc.)
Permits/Approvals does not hold any permits/approvals for the Site, as related to air
emissions or discharges.
An air emission inventory was not conducted as part of the scope of work and, therefore,
compliance with applicable acts, regulations, laws and/or statutes was not evaluated.

5.12 Staining and Stressed Vegetation

No evidence of historical chemical discharges or releases (i.e., staining or stressed
vegetation) was observed during the Site visit. The Site Representative reported that no
known historical chemical spills have occurred on-Site.
Minor hydrocarbon staining (approximately 0.5 m2) was observed in various locations on
the concrete floor, but were not observed in the vicinity of any cracking or pitting in the
concrete floor. As such, the observed staining is considered unlikely to give rise to
subsurface impacts in connection with the Site. However, consideration should be given
to adding secondary containment systems to minimize the potential environmental risks
of future spills or releases on to the concrete floor in the interior and exterior storage
areas.
5.13 Non-Hazardous Wastes
Topic Findings
Domestic refuse is deposited into a polyethylene bin on the Site interior.
Non-hazardous
The contents of the bin are emptied and hauled for off-Site disposal an
Wastes
as needed basis by the Client.
Recyclables None observed and none reported.

6.0 ACTIVITIES ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES

The Site is located in an urban area that is predominantly developed with commercial
and industrial land uses. A description of the adjacent properties is summarized in the
following table, based on PHH ARC’s observations from the Site and publicly accessible
locations:

The commercial property located at 4809 – 49A Avenue (approximately 30 m) to the

east of the Site is occupied by Canadian Compression Services. During the Site visit
staining in the vicinity of the AST was not observed and the AST was housed within
secondary containment. Based on the distance from the property to the Site and the
secondary containment, it is PHH ARC’s opinion that this AST is unlikely to result in
subsurface impacts at the Site.
The property to the east of the Site, located at 4801 - 52 Street occupied by Crop
Production was observed to contain six ASTs on the northeast portion of the property
(approximately 140 m from the Site). Based on the distance from the property to the
Site, it is PHH ARC’s opinion that these ASTs are unlikely to result in subsurface
impacts at the Site.
Based on PHH ARC’s observations of the adjacent properties, nothing was observed
that is likely to result in potential subsurface impacts at the Site.

7.0 FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the results of the Phase I ESA completed by PHH ARC, nothing was identified
that is likely to result in potential subsurface impacts at the Site. As such, no further
work is recommended at this time.

Land Use District: The property is located in an industrial district, within 300 meters of the
Town’s sewage lagoon. The operation of an automotive repair business is a permitted use.
Landfill: The Town has no records to indicate presence of a landfill on or adjacent to this
property.
Storage Tanks: The Town has no record of the presence of underground/above ground

Geotechnical: The Town has no geotechnical information on this property.

Environmental: Upon review of our file of the property, the only incident on record is a
sewage main line back-up that occurred on June 18, 2008.
The Town’s sewer trunk main was damaged by ATCO Gas during an installation of a gas
line. The damage was not known until the sewer backed up at 4806 – 52 Street, upon
which, the Town took immediate action to stop further back up from occurring.
Atco Gas, Environment & Quality hired the consulting firm of Matrix Solutions to complete
the soil sampling and testing near the point of the sewage release. The Town did not
receive a copy of the test results, however, it is my understanding that the property owner,
Mr. Ray Williams may have received a copy. Correspondence from that time showed a

Dear Eduardo Jimenez:
As per your request, the PTMAA has checked the registration of active tank sites and inventory of
abandoned tank sites and there are no records for the property with the legal land description:
4806 - 52 Street, Bentley

Plan 9620070, Block 1, Lot 3
NE 22-40-1-W5
Please note that both databases are not complete. The main limitation of these databases is that
they only include information reported through registration or a survey of abandoned sites
completed in 1992 and should not be considered as a comprehensive inventory of all past or
present storage tank sites. The PTMAA cannot guarantee that tanks do not or have not existed at
this location. Information in the databases is based on information supplied by the owner and the
PTMAA cannot guarantee its accuracy. Information on storage tanks or on past or present
contaminant investigations may be filed with the local Fire Department or Alberta Environment.
Yours truly,

In 2000, the Emergencies program implemented NEES, a reporting system for spills of hazardous substances. For the
most part, this system only captured data from the Atlantic Provinces, some from Quebec and Ontario and a portion from
British Columbia. Data for Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Territories was not captured. However, NEES is also
a repository for all previous Environment Canada spill datasets. NEES is composed of the historic datasets ' or Trends '
which dates from approximately 1974 to present. NEES Trends is a compilation of historic databases, which were merged
and includes data from NATES (National Analysis of Trends in Emergencies System), ARTS (Atlantic Regional Trends
System), and NEES. In 2001, the Emergencies Program determined that variations in reporting regimes and
requirements between federal and provincial agencies made national spill reporting and trend analysis difficult to achieve.
As a consequence, the department has focused efforts on capturing data on spills of substances which fall under its
legislative authority only (CEPA and FA). As such, the NEES database will be decommissioned in December 2004.

Definitions
Database Descriptions: This section provides a detailed explanation for each database including: source, information
available, time coverage, and acronyms used. They are listed in alphabetic order.
Detail Report: This is the section of the report which provides the most detail for each individual record. Records are
summarized by location, starting with the project property followed by records in closest proximity.
Distance: The distance value is the distance between plotted points, not necessarily the distance between the sites'
boundaries". All values are an approximation.
Elevation: The elevation value is taken from the location at which the records for the site address have been plotted.
All values are an approximation. Source: Google Elevation API.
Executive Summary: This portion of the report is divided into 3 sections:
'Report Summary'- Displays a chart indicating how many records fall on the project property, within
the report search radius, and the surrounding area outside the search radius.
'Site Report Summary'-Project Property'- This section lists all the records which fall on the project
property. For more details, see the 'Detail Report' section.
'Site Report Summary-Surrounding Properties'- This section summarizes all records on adjacent
properties, listing them in order of proximity from the project property. For more details, see the
'Detail Report' section.
Map Key: The map key number is assigned according to closest proximity from the project property. Map Key numbers
always start at #1. The project property will always have a map key of '1' if records are available. If there is a number in
brackets beside the main number, this will indicate the number of records on that specific property. If there is no number
in brackets, there is only one record for that property.
The symbol and colour used indicates 'elevation': the red upside down triangle will dictate 'ERIS Sites with Lower
Elevation', the yellow triangle will dictate 'ERIS Sites with Higher Elevation' and the orange square will dictate 'ERIS Sites
with Same Elevation.'
Unplottables: These are records that could not be mapped due to various reasons, including limited geographic
information. These records may or may not be in your study area, and were included as reference.
