AGREEMENT TO PERMIT BOREHOLE TESTING ON
CLEMENS LANE IN THE VICINITY OF 112 BENTON AVE
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute an agreement with Arrow
Lofts Inc. (owner of 112 Benton Ave) to permit drilling of boreholes and the
installation of monitoring wells in the adjacent City road allowance, known as
Clemens Lane located near 112 Benton Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
Arrow Lofts Inc. is the property owner of 112 Benton Avenue and arranged for the removal of a
fuel oil tank from the premises. It was discovered during a Phase II Environmental Assessment
that there was contamination from the fuel tank. Trow Associates has been retained by Arrow
Lofts Inc. to conduct drilling of boreholes and the installation of monitoring wells to delineate a
possible petroleum hydrocarbon plume.
The length of time the monitoring wells will be required is dependent on various factors and is
not known at this time.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

CONCLUSION:
A draft Agreement has been circulated and staff has no concern, subject to the terms and
conditions of the City's standard agreement for borehole testing on City property. I recommend
authorization of the requested drilling and installation of groundwater monitoring wells on
Clemens Lane near City road allowance near 112 Benton Avenue.
