BACKGROUND Resolution #51. Authority Meeting #3, May 2, 1986, approvinq the project. Authority staff and officials of polyresins Inc. have been discussing the potential purchase of the property by the Authority since mid 1989. Negotiations have been conducted with Mr. J. F. Davies of Borden and Elliot, Barristers and Solicitors, Toronto, Ontario and Mr. Stephen Smith, the President of Po1yresins Inc.,.who is a solicitor with McCarthy and Tetreault, Barristers and Solicitors, Toronto, Ontario.

In addition, site improvements consist of fifteen storage tanks, hydro transformer accessory buildings and other site improvements. The Director of the Water Resource oivision has reviewed this proposal and is in concurrence with the purchase of the property. RATIONALE 'rhis property is located within the Authority'S approved master plan for acquisition. FINANCIAL DETAILS The Province of ontario, in approving the sale of Authority owned lands in the Claireville area to the Ministries of Government Services and Transportation earlier this year, approved the utilization of funding from the proceeds of the sale which are currently being invested by the Authority for the utilization of the purchase of the subject property.

The Authority rose from closed session. KEY ISSUE ~ Report on results of the environmental audit of the Polyres1ns Inc. Property. Res. #229 Moved by: Lois Hancey Seconded by: William Granger THAT the staff report concerning the environmental audit of the Polyresins Inc. property at 44 Beechwood Drive in East York be received: THAT the purchase of the site be completed at a total cost of $6,550,000, of which polyresins Inc. will be paid $6,050,000 and the balance of $500,000 will be retained by the Authority in a reserve account, to be used as required for the site rehabilitation; AND FURTHER THAT insofar as the clean up is deemed to be innovative, that all appropriate agencies be requested to share in the cost of those components that may be deemed to be innovative, but at the very least that amount that exceeds $500,000. CARRIED BACKGROUND An environmental audit of the property was commissioned in September 1990 by the Authority and completed on December 4, 1990 by Intera Kenting Ltd. The audit consisted of an extensive review of the historical uses of the site as well as detailed technical evaluations as follows: 8 groundwater monitoring wells, 2 mini-piezometers in the Don River, 14 test pits for soil investigations, 15 boreholes for soil sampling, organic vapour measurements in the soil at 80 locations, 25 soil samples wcre analyzed, 10 groundwater samples were analyzed, electromagnetic survey at 866 stations to determine locations of underground pipelines or any buricd drums, and ground penetrating radar survey to locate pipelines or other buried structures. The investigations concluded that most of the site is clean and suitable for parkland use. A small area of the site, approximately 5% of the property area, is contaminated with organic materials mainly ethyl benzene, xylene and toluene. The contamination is ~ainly confined to the south west corner of the property in the vicinity of the loading dock and railway siding, with some localized contamination around the raw materials storage tanks and the plant process water pipeline. Fortunately, the site does ~ot contain any organo chlorines (ie. PCB etc.) or serious metal contamination. There is also some limited groundwater contamination in the south west corner of the site which is directly related to the contaminated soil and is not considered to be having significant impact on the Don River. A-127 AUTHORITY MEETING #8/90. HELD DECEMBER 7. 1990 BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES LAND ACQUISITION PROJECT: 1987-1991 FLOOD PLAIN AND CONSERVATION COMPONENT DON RIVER WATERSHED -polvresins Inc. CONTD. Discussions with the Ministry of the Environment were held on three occasions during the audit. The Ministry confirmed there are no control orders against the site. The discussions concluded that the investigations were adequate to understand the general nature and extent of contamination of the site. It was also confirmed that the Ministry does not yet have specific guidelines for the organic compounds found on the site. It is up to the proponent to propose suitable guidelines and remedial action for approval. Most importantly it was confirmed that the contamination which exists on a small area of the site is well suited to treatment through bioremediation and/or vapour extraction. The Ministry will encourage on-site treatment as opposed to conventional excavation and disposal at a licensed landfill site. The on-site treatment has the potential to be much more effective than landfill disposal while also being potentially cheaper. In addition, on-site treatment of most, if not all, of the material will not add significantly to the problems of rapidly declining available landfill volumes. RATIONALE Although the contamination of the site is limited to a small area and there are no significant off site impacts, some clean up of the site should be undertaken to ensure that no problems develop in the future. Options for addressing the contaminated portion of the site range from excavation and haulage to a licensed landfill site, to localized techniques to control access to the area and migration of the contaminants. It was concluded, through the audit process, that the most effective and responsible approach to the contaminated area will likely include excavation and removal of a small volume of the most contaminated material (I 1,000 tonnes) and on-site treatment of the remainder. While it is anticipated that the cost of the clean up can be kept well within the $500,000 available funding, it may be possible to secure additional research funding for innovative treatment technologies. Extensive negotiations were held with Polyresins Inc. concerning the findings of the audit, the appropriate guidelines, the responsibility for clean up and the likely costs of cleary up. The negotiations concluded on December 7, 1990, with agreement to reduce the purchase price by $500,000. WORK TO BE DONE The Authority, in conjunction with Intera Kenting and the Ministry of the Environment will now develop a detailed remedial action plan and submit it to the Ministry of the Environment for comment. Implementation will probably be phased over an extended perio~, as some of the bioremediation techniques rely on many months of biological activity to break down the organic compounds. A-128 AUTHORITY MEETING #8/90. HELD DECEMBER 7. 1990 BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES LAND ACQUISITION PROJECT: 1987-1991 FLOOD PLAIN AND CONSERVATION COMPONENT DON RIVER WATERSHED -polvresins Inc. CONTD. FINANCIAL DETAILS It is anticipated that the cost of the clean up can be kept well within the $500,000 achieved through negotiations. The figure was based partially on worse case considerations involving haulage and disposal of most of the contaminated material to a licensed landfill, in which case approximately 90% of the costs would be associated with the tipping fee at the landfill site. It may be possible to secure special funding from other levels of government for clean up technology development on a pilot pr.oject basis. 1.
