1.0 QUALIFICATIONS 1.1 I am the president at Soil Engineers Ltd., a geotechnical engineering consultant primarily involved in geotechnical site investigations and engineering studies throughout southern Ontario. 1.2 I have over 35 years of experience in the geotechnical engineering field working on numerous projects and prepared a wide range of soil reports involving slope stability studies. 1.3 I obtained a Bachelor of Engineering Degree in Civil Engineering from McMaster University in 1978 and I am a registered Professional Engineer in Ontario. 1.4 My curriculum vitae is attached to this witness statement as Appendix A. 1.5 A copy of the Statement of Agreed Facts for the geotechnical specialists is attached as Appendix B. 1.6 A copy of my Acknowledgement of Expert Duty is attached as Appendix C. 2.0 RETAINER 2.1 Soil Engineers Ltd. was retained by Bronte Green Corporation on July 10, 2012, to prepare a geotechnical investigation and a slope stability study for a proposed residential development on the subject site. The slope stability study report was completed October 23, 2012, and the geotechnical investigation report was completed January 2013. 3.0 EVIDENCE 3.1 A soil investigation report was prepared for the proposed residential development. Geotechnical recommendations were provided in the Soil Investigation Report dated January 2013 for the design and construction of the project. 3.2 A slope stability study was carried out in accordance with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources guidelines (Reference 5.4 and 5.5) to establish the Long-Term Stable Slope Line (LTSSL) for the valley slope associated with the south bank of Fourteen Mile Creek, located at the north limit of the site. The LTSSL along the south bank of Fourteen Mile Creek was established for the project and was detailed in the Slope Stability Study Report dated October 23, 2012. The LTSSL was to be incorporated into the determination of the development limits. 3.3 My evidence will address the above noted reports, the relevant geotechnical items in the Issues List, and items mentioned the geotechnical specialists Agreed Statement of Facts.
4.0 ISSUES AND OPINIONS 4.1 Issue 18(a) on the Issues List asks: Has a compliant geotechnical study been completed and provided? 4.2 Attached to this witness statement are copies of the slope stability report (October 2012, Appendix D ) and soil investigation report (January 2013, Appendix E ) prepared by Soil Engineers Limited. A total of 26 boreholes were drilled and 8 groundwater monitoring wells were installed in the project area to obtain subsurface soil and groundwater information to facilitate the preparation of the foregoing reports. I will speak to the contents of these reports in my evidence. 4.3 Paragraph 4 of the Expert s Agreed Statement states: The boreholes spacing as shown on Figure 5 of 'the Burnside Hydrogeological Study Report' exceeds the 100 m spacing as required by the "Geotechnical Principles for Stable Slopes" publication and no justification is provided. 4.4 While the borehole spacing did exceed the noted publication, it should be noted that the soil stratigraphy for the project site is quite consistent along the valley slope being studied and does not vary drastically. Further, the critical cross-sections analyzed in the slope stability study were all located within 100 m of the borehole locations. Based on this, it is my opinion that the subsurface profile used for the slope stability study is considered sufficient. 4.5 Paragraph 5 of the Expert s Agreed Statement states: Only augering and split spoon sampling was conducted to advance the boreholes into the shale bedrock underlying the overburden (as shown on the Log of Boreholes from the Soil Engineers Limited (2012) report) and hence there were no bedrock core samples obtained which would permit characterization of the bedrock. 4.6 It should be noted that auger samples were retrieved from the boreholes drilled into the bedrock and these samples confirm that the bedrock encountered on site is shale. Soil Engineers Ltd. has supervised numerous construction projects in the neighboring area, and shallow shale bedrock is known to occur in this region. Accordingly, it is my opinion that there is enough information to permit characterization of the bedrock as shale. 4.7 I will elaborate on the above in my evidence. It is my opinion that based on the above, compliant geotechnical studies have been completed and provided in support of the Bronte Green development proposal.

Argo Bronte Green Corporation Reference No. 1207-S148 c/o David Schaeffer Engineering Ltd. Page 2 of 7 October 23, 2012 Slope Stability Analyses A slope stability assessment has been carried out for the slope located along the east limits of the property, which is the west bank of Fourteen Mile Creek. The assessment is based on information obtained from both boreholes and cross-sections. At the locations for the slope study, the investigation has disclosed that beneath a veneer of topsoil and a layer of earth fill at one location, a stratum of stiff to hard silty clay till overlies strata of very dense silty sand till and fine to coarse sand with rock fragments which bed onto shale bedrock. Visual inspection of the slope at the time of report preparation revealed that it is wooded, with a thick ground cover of leaves. At localized steep areas, surface sloughing was visible and the ground surface was bare. Active erosion was noted along the entire creek bank and deep-seated failure was noted, especially where the gradient of the slope was observed to be steeper than 1 vertical:1 horizontal, and where the watercourse was located directly at the bottom of slope; these were noticed along the slope in the south portion of the property. Twelve cross-sections, Cross-Sections A-A to L-L, inclusive, were selected for analysis to provide a comprehensive overview of the slope profile and condition. The locations of the cross-sections are shown on Drawing Nos. 1A and 1B. The surface profile of each cross-section is interpreted from the contour lines on the topographic plan provided by David Schaeffer Engineering Limited. The subsurface profile is interpreted from the Boreholes Logs, which will be provided in the forthcoming soil report.
Argo Bronte Green Corporation Reference No. 1207-S148 c/o David Schaeffer Engineering Ltd. Page 3 of 7 October 23, 2012 The slope has an overall height of 5.0± to 9.0± m, measured from the bottom of slope to the existing top of slope, with gradients ranging from 1 vertical:0.25± to 3.0± horizontal. The cross-sections of the existing slopes are shown on Drawing Nos. 2 to 13, inclusive. The groundwater, where encountered has been modeled to taper towards Fourteen Mile Creek, slightly below the toe of slope, as per on site observations. The slope stability was analysed using force-moment-equilibrium criteria of the Bishop Method and the soil strength parameters given in the following table. Soil Strength Parameters Soil Type Unit Weight (kn/m 3 ) Effective Cohesion (kpa) Effective Internal Friction Angle (Φ) Earth Fill 20.5 0 26 Silty Clay Till 22.0 5 30 Silty Sand Till 22.5 2 31 Fine to Coarse Sand and Rock Fragments Shale Bedrock 20.0 0 33 Impenetrable The results of the analyses indicate that the factor of safety (FOS) for the existing slope at the locations of Cross-Sections A-A, C-C, D-D, F-F, H-H and K-K ranges from 1.525 to 2.894, which exceeds the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) guideline requirements for active land use (minimum FOS 1.5). Furthermore, the distance from the creek to the bottom of slope exceeds a toe erosion allowance of 8.0 m at these cross-sections, except at Cross-Section K-K. As such, the existing slope at
Argo Bronte Green Corporation Reference No. 1207-S148 c/o David Schaeffer Engineering Ltd. Page 4 of 7 October 23, 2012 these locations, which the exception of Cross-Section K-K, is considered to be geotechnically stable for the proposed residential usage. However, at Cross-Sections B-B, E-E, G-G, I-I, J-J and L-L, the FOS for the bank ranges from 1.012 to 1.499, which fails to meet the minimum guideline requirement. As such, the slope is considered to be geotechnically unstable. Geotechnically stable gradients ranging from 1 vertical:1.1 to 1.9 horizontal are recommended, depending on the soil conditions as identified by the borehole investigation. Due to the occurrence of shale bedrock near Cross-Sections H-H to L-L, a steeper gradient is acceptable at these locations provided that the slope meets the required toe erosion allowance and minimum FOS. The watercourse is located at the immediate bottom of slope at Cross- Section K-K, and the bank at this location further analysed given a toe erosion allowance. The remodelled slope at Cross-Sections B-B, E-E, G-G, I-I, J-J, K-K and L-L yields a FOS ranging from 1.513 to 2.552, which satisfies the OMNR requirements. The remodelled cross-sections are presented on Drawing Nos. 14 to 20, inclusive. A summary of the resulting factors of safety against deep-seated failure are given in the following table. Factors of Safety Factor of Safety Cross-Section Existing Slope Long-Term Stable Slope A-A 1.563 * - B-B 1.345 1.515 C-C 1.910 * -

In the presence of a watercourse feature at the toe of creek bank (slope) with little to no floodplain, an erosion setback of 5.0 m and 8.0 m will be required where the soils at the base of the slope consist of shale bedrock and hard/very dense tills, respectively. The resulting Long-Term Stable Slope Line (LTSSL), incorporating the specified stable gradient component and toe erosion setback, is established on Drawing Nos. 1A and 1B. Lastly, a development setback for man-made and environmental degradation of the slope will be required. This is subject to the discretion of the Halton Region Conservation Authority. In order to prevent the occurrence of localized surface slides and to enhance the stability of the slope, the following geotechnical constraints should be stipulated:
Argo Bronte Green Corporation Reference No. 1207-S148 c/o David Schaeffer Engineering Ltd. Page 6 of 7 October 23, 2012 1. The prevailing vegetative cover must be maintained, since its extraction would deprive the slope of the rooting system that acts as reinforcement against soil erosion by weathering. If for any reason the vegetation cover is stripped, it must be reinstated to its original, or better than its original, protective condition. 2. The leafy topsoil cover on the slope face should not be disturbed, since this provides an insulation and screen against frost wedging and rainwash erosion. 3. Grading of the land adjacent to the slope must be such that concentrated runoff is not allowed to drain onto the slope face. Landscaping features, which may cause runoff to pond at the top of the slope, such as infiltration trenches, as well as frequent lawn watering which will saturate the crown of the slope, must not be permitted. 4. Where development is carried out near the top of the slope, there are other factors to be considered related to possible human environmental abuse. These include soil saturation from frequent watering to maintain of landscaping features, stripping of topsoil or vegetation, and dumping of loose fill and material storage close to the top of slope; none of these should be permitted. All of the above recommendations are subject to the approval of the Halton Region Conservation Authority.
