Details of the proposed work are described in this report, its appendices and on the plan and profile drawings. 1.2 Request for Improvement by Owners The request for improvement was submitted by Murray Hodgins, owner of Blue Horizon Farm Inc. (Roll No. 8-200); Lots 58-60, Concession 3 North of Durham Road. The request was not dated. 2.0 Background Information 2.1 Municipal Drain History Burnside conducted a thorough review of all the historical documentation available in the Municipality of Kincardine office pertaining to the Kincardine Kinloss Branch `A', as well as for other drains associated with Kincardine-Kinloss Municipal Drain. The date of the original establishment of the Kincardine Kinloss Municipal Drain, specifically Branch `A', is currently unknown. The drainage network was improved under a series of reports by H.M. Gibson Ltd, between 1970 and 1973. These reports provided for the construction of numerous open and closed drainage systems including the `A' Branch of the Kincardine-Kinloss Municipal Drain. In 1986 a report was filed by Brad R. Pryde, P. Eng. of Paragon Engineering Limited. This report provided for the extension of the Main Drain and provided updated maintenance schedules for all drainage systems associated with the Kincardine-Kinloss drain. To Burnside's knowledge no further improvements to Branch `A' of the Kincardine Kinloss Municipal Drain have been made since that time. The open portion of Branch `A' serves as an outlet to the following municipal drainage systems: • The `AZ' Branch — Which receives flows from the `BZ' and `CZ' Branches • The `AA' Branch — Which receives flows from the `BB' Branch 054217 Drainage Report 300054217.0000 Municipality of Kincardine 2 Kincardine-Kinloss Municipal Drain Branch 'A' Enclosure November 15, 2022 • The closed portion of the `A' Branch — Which receives flows from the `W' Branch • The `X' Branch — Which receives flows from the `Y' and `Z' Branch 2.2 Existing Conditions The watershed of the Kincardine Kinloss Municipal Drain Branch `A' consists of predominately agricultural lands. Surface water from the watershed generally flows from south to north from Lots 58 through 63, Concession 2 North of Durham Road, to Lot 61, Concession 3 North of Durham Road via overland flow or one of the many municipal drainage systems servicing the agricultural lands. Surface ponding currently takes place following storm events and spring snowmelt in the low-lying areas of the watershed. The existing municipal systems servicing the upstream agricultural lands were all anticipated to be installed in the early 1970s and were noted as being predominately field tile. This suggests that they may be either clay or concrete tile. Since the tiles are over 50 years old it is expected that they may become problematic as they continue to age. Similarly, these tiles are designed to have considerably less capacity when compared to current design standards. The portion of drain proposed to be enclosed is seasonally dry and is densely vegetated with grasses. The open drain is surrounded with agricultural lands primarily used for row crops and no tree cover of any kind. This is illustrated in the figures below. 054217 Drainage Report 300054217.0000 Municipality of Kincardine 3 Kincardine-Kinloss Municipal Drain Branch 'A' Enclosure November 15, 2022 Figure 1 — Looking Southwest, Downstream Extents of the Proposed Enclosure (November 2021) pw+ gar t ,�� a' �� �y;•` 3 } r �r Figure 2— Looking Northeast, Typical Channel Conditions in the Portion of Branch 'A' Proposed to be Enclosure (November 2021) 4 I �b v i w tiA a y E,+fu.��a4�P pl h s t' r a.. 054217 Drainage Report 300054217.0000 Municipality of Kincardine 4 Kincardine-Kinloss Municipal Drain Branch 'A' Enclosure November 15, 2022 2.3 Watershed Area & Land Use The total watershed area contributing to the Kincardine Kinloss Branch `A' is approximately 201 ha. The watershed area was delineated through the examination of topographic contour mapping data with computer aided drafting (CAD) software, the examination of existing Municipal Drain reports, and the review of field survey and observations. The watershed area has been adopted as part of this report. Land use within the watershed area is divided as follows: • 190 ha as agricultural land; • 4 ha as woodlot; • 7 ha as municipal road right-of-way (ROW) 2.4 Soils The soils survey for Bruce County taken from Report No. 16 of the Ontario Soil Survey, indicates that the predominant soil types within the watershed area are Brookston, Perth, and Huron Clay Loams. • Brookston Clay Loam —A slightly stony soil with poor drainage characteristics and gently sloping topography. • Perth Clay Loam —A slightly stony soil with imperfect drainage characteristics and gently sloping topography. • Huron Clay Loam —A slightly stony soil with good drainage characteristics and moderately sloping topography. Based on the characteristics of the soils and their potential for future agricultural use, the Canada Land Inventory (CLI) provides Soil Capability Classification of Agriculture for lands across the country. The soils within the Kincardine Kinloss Branch `A' watershed area have an agricultural capability rating of Class 1 with no limitation in crop use. 3.0 Preliminary Investigations 3.1 On-Site Meeting The on-site meeting for the drain was held on November 9, 2021 at the existing drain crossing of Sideroad 30 South. The following were present at the meeting: • Murray Hodgins Property owner (Roll No. 8-200) • George Guse Drainage Superintendent, Municipality of Kincardine • Trevor Kuepfer R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited The existing drainage conditions were discussed, and Murray expressed interest in enclosing the municipal ditch on his property (Lots 59 and 60, Concession 3 North of Durham Road) to improve the efficiency of the agricultural operations on his property, which was noted as the primary objective of this drain improvement project. 054217 Drainage Report 300054217.0000 Municipality of Kincardine 5 Kincardine-Kinloss Municipal Drain Branch 'A' Enclosure November 15, 2022 4.0 Design Criteria & Engineering Considerations 4.1 Drainage System Design & Sizing The applicable sections of the "A Guide for Engineers Working Under the Drainage Act in Ontario" (Publication 852), and the applicable sections of the "Drainage Guide for Ontario" (Publication 29), both of which were published by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, were used to determine, and supplement the design considerations for this drain. 4.1.1 Open Drain Design Each component of the open drain was checked to ensure that the design criteria specified by Table 1 below was met. Table 1 —Open Drain Design Criteria Component Design Storm Return Period' Channel — Rural/Agricultural 2 year Field Crossings 2 — 5 year Residential or Major Agricultural Crossings 5 — 10 year Lower-Tier Municipal Road Crossing 5 — 10 year Upper-Tier Municipal Road Crossing 10 — 25 year Table based on OMAFRA Publication 852,dated 2018. The Municipality and Conservation Authority may require a design varying from those listed. The channel downstream of Sideroad 30 South to Concession Road 5 is anticipated to be sized sufficiently to convey the two-year storm event. Although the gradient of the channel is minimal it is greater than 2.5 m deep throughout its length. The road crossing is relatively low risk as there are currently no buildings upstream of the crossing that would be impacted by flooding at the Sideroad 30 S crossing. Because of the outlet provided by the downstream channel system, it is anticipated that in both the existing and proposed cases that flooding of lands upstream of the Sideroad 30 S crossing will occur regularly. The storage in the agricultural lands provided upstream of Sideroad 30 S is critical to reducing the frequency of the overtopping of the roadway. The proposed modifications to the crossing are not anticipated to negatively affect the headwater elevations upstream of the sideroad because headwater elevations are primarily governed by the gradient of the channel downstream of Sideroad 30 S. Furthermore, the proposed works are not anticipated to increase the risk to public safety nor increase erosion concerns to the downstream lands. 4.1.2 Closed Drain Design Under the previously mentioned guidelines it is recommended to use a drainage coefficient for the underdrainage requirements of cleared, worked, agricultural land and to consider an additional drainage coefficient for the surface water requirements of all lands and roads within the watershed area. For this project, a drainage coefficient of 054217 Drainage Report 300054217.0000 Municipality of Kincardine 6 Kincardine-Kinloss Municipal Drain Branch 'A' Enclosure November 15, 2022 19.05 mm (3/4 inch) for under drainage requirements, and 19.05 mm (3/4 inch) for surface water requirements over a 24-hour period has been used. Together, this produces a combined design coefficient of 38.1 mm (1'/2 inches) in 24 hours, and following discussion with the property owners, this coefficient was selected as the design standard for this project. 4.2 Water Quality Considerations The loss of sediment and nutrients from cropped land is a major concern to water quality in Ontario. Therefore, this design has incorporated several features to minimize these impacts including: • Rip-rap erosion protection along banks susceptible to erosion to reduce channel degradation. • A permanent stilling basin and temporary sediment control structure constructed with filter socks and rock check dams to promote sediment deposition. • Rip-rap surrounding catchbasins to slow and pond surface water, allowing suspended soil particles and nutrients to fall out of suspension and remain on the soil surface. • 300 mm deep sumps on all catchbasins to slow and encourage deposition of suspended soils at these locations. • Utilize existing surface water inlets to slow and pond surface water, allowing suspended soil particles and nutrients to fall out of suspension and remain on the soil surface. 4.3 Utilities Investigation A utilities investigation was undertaken during the design stage to determine possible elevation conflicts prior to the time of construction. The area was cleared of telephone, fibre optic, and gas lines in the location of the proposed drain. All public and private utilities shall be located by the Contractor prior to the construction of the proposed drain. 5.0 Environmental and Fisheries Considerations When a new Engineer's report is prepared that could affect an existing Municipal Drain, natural watercourse, wetland, or other environmental features, a review of the work is required, and subsequent approvals and/or project requirements must be obtained from the applicable agency. These may include the local Conservation Authority (CA), The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). 5.1 Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA) The SVCA has been apprised of the project throughout its progression. Michael Cook indicated that the main concerns to the SVCA pertained to possible environmental 054217 Drainage Report 300054217.0000 Municipality of Kincardine 7 Kincardine-Kinloss Municipal Drain Branch 'A' Enclosure November 15, 2022 impacts resulting from the proposed work, and any adverse impacts to public safety that may be caused by the proposed works. A permit for the proposed works will be included prior to the start of construction. 5.2 Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) A technical memorandum was prepared to provide comments on any ecological impacts to terrestrial ecosystems that may occur as part of the proposed works. A copy of this memo has been included in Appendix D. No Provincial Species at Risk have been identified within this drainage area that would require special consideration by the MECP under the ESA. 5.3 Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) A request for review of the proposed works was submitted to DFO for review (DFO File Number 22-HCAA-00337). DFO indicated that their main concerns pertained to potential impacts on fish and their habitat resulting from the proposed work. The following mitigation measures have been provided: • Complete works during a period of low or no flow • Conduct no in-water works between March 151" to July 151n • Implement an erosion and sediment control plan A copy of the Letter of Advice received from DFO has been included in Appendix D of this report. No Federal Species at Risk have been identified within this drainage area that would require special consideration under the Species at Risk Act (SARA). 6.0 Proposed Design 6.1 Proposed Work Summary The Kincardine-Kinloss Branch `A' Enclosure includes the installation of approximately 700 m of CDT, 2 concrete structures, 1 road crossing with approximately 36 m of HDPE pipe, the enclosure of approximately 325 m of channel, 575 m of channel cleanout, one stilling basin, and one sediment basin c/w one sediment control structure. 6.1.1 Description of Proposed Work on Each Property J. & J.

The Special Provisions detail requirements not encompassed by Appendix E —Standard Drain Specifications. Special Provisions shall take precedence over Standard Drain Specifications where a conflict between the two documents may exist. 7.7 Appendix G — Drawings Three (3) drawings are included with this report, consisting of a plan, profiles, and details pertinent to the construction of the proposed drain. 8.0 Maintenance and Future Considerations 8.1 General While the Municipality of Kincardine will be responsible for the maintenance of the drain after construction is complete, the sections with the Act dealing with obstruction of, damage, and injury to a Municipal Drain, namely Sections 80 and 82, are brought to the attention of the property owners. Under these sections, both the property owners and the Municipality of Kincardine have responsibilities to ensure that a Municipal Drain is properly maintained and kept in good working condition. The maintenance of this drain should include regular inspections by the Drainage Superintendent, and appropriate action should be taken by the Drainage Superintendent to ensure the proper function of the drain. 8.2 Maintenance Eligibility Regarding future maintenance works, the Municipality of Kincardine shall be responsible for maintaining the Municipal Drain from Sta. -0+569 to Sta. 0+385 as per the profiles and details on the accompanying drawing set, and notes in the special provisions. Works outside of this station range shall be maintained as per the associated report for the Kincardine Kinloss drains and costs assessed based on the maintenance schedules that were updated in the 1986 report by Paragon Engineering Limited. 8.3 Future Maintenance From Sta. -0+010 to -0+569 the channel shall be maintained with a min. 2.0 m bottom width, sideslopes no steeper than 1.5H:1 V, and a minimum 0.03% gradient. Any areas of washout, settlement, erosion, or other disrepair within the proposed drain shall be maintained as needed by the Drainage Superintendent. The rip-rap erosion protection, stilling basin, etc. shall be inspected on a periodic basis by the Drainage Superintendent and cleaned out as required to maintain the efficiency of the structures and to prevent sedimentation or erosion of the channel. 054217 Drainage Report 300054217.0000 Municipality of Kincardine 11 Kincardine-Kinloss Municipal Drain Branch 'A' Enclosure November 15, 2022 Catchbasin inlets should be inspected by the Drainage Superintendent on a regular basis, prior to heavy rainfall events and spring snowmelt to ensure that ice or snow or other material have not obstructed the inlets. Property owners should assist with the maintenance activity by making regular inspections of the drain and inlet structures, clearing debris from the inlet structures in a timely manner and reporting any problems to the Municipality of Kincardine, so that the Drainage Superintendent can take proper action. 8.4 Maintenance Costs The works specified in this report shall be maintained by the Municipality of Kincardine at the expense of the upstream lands and roads, as determined by the Drainage Superintendent in accordance with Section 74 of the Drainage Act. Costs shall be distributed among the upstream property owners using Appendix C2 — Maintenance Assessment Schedule and in the same relative portions until such a time as they are varied in accordance with the Drainage Act. The Municipality of Kincardine shall be entirely responsible for the maintenance and costs of the drain located within the Sideroad 30 ROW, including catchbasins and the road crossing. 8.5 Future Connections Connections by the property owners or their Contractor that are not approved by the Municipality of Kincardine or its Drainage Superintendent may be removed at the expense of the Owner responsible for the connection. All future connections to the new closed drain must be made at a plugged inlet provided in a precast concrete structure or an approved core drilled hole into the tile, with approved fittings and materials to the satisfaction of the Drainage Superintendent. 054217 Drainage Report 300054217.0000 D BuRNsiDE [THE DIFFERENCE IS OUR PEOPLE] k D Appendix A Allowances — Section 30 Appendix A —Allowances Allowances will be deducted from total assessments in accordance with Section 62(3) of the Act. The land and crop values used for these calculations were determined based on a general understanding of the values within this geographic area and are described in the following sections. A summary of the allowances provided under each section of the Act is included in this Appendix. Details regarding working space can be found in the Special Provisions. Section 30— Damages Section 30 of the Act states: "The engineer shall determine the amount to be paid to persons entitled thereto for damage, if any, to ornamental trees, lawns, fences, lands and crops occasioned by the disposal of material removed from a drainage works and shall include such sums in the estimates of the cost of construction, improvement, repair or maintenance of the drainage works. R.S.O. 1990, c. D.17, s.30." In this report, a base value of$2,965 per hectare ($1,200 per acre) for workable, agricultural land has been applied to the calculation of the damage allowances as crop damage may be necessary during the construction of this drain. The following was assumed for crop losses for the specified width of the working area. • Complete crop loss in the year of construction. • A 50% loss in crop productivity one year after construction A 10 m working corridor was provided in the open drain working space for the length of the channel to allow for the cleanout of the open drain, placement and levelling of spoil. A 40 m width was provided to the south of the Kincardine Kinloss Municipal Drain Branch `A' to allow for the installation of the dual tile drain system, topsoil stripping, tile placement, travel along the drain, and for grading required for the filling of the existing channel. Similarly, a 20 m width was provided north of the Kincardine Kinloss Municipal Drain Branch `A' to allow for grading required for filling the existing channel A 6 m width is provided for access routes, as detailed in the Special Provisions and as shown on the drawings. 0 0 0 0 q O v o ~ a o YCD to CO) 0 0 0 0 ~ t/) �• N M d QW M CO ti co +r U w cc Z o 0 0 N co O W U Q O J � J cV Q O 0) E Q N 3 cu i U- Q N O O � X 0 cn O U W cu Z w m Q W Q 06 a a 0 co Q m J Q � J 2 Q 0 0 co O C 0 � H Y J CO co C co � N Y z W E E w Q O 0 o o a t°� oO� o � z z co co BuRNsiDE [THE DIFFERENCE IS OUR PEOPLE] D a X W Appendix B Project Cost Estimate Appendix B - Project Cost Estimate The estimate of the cost of all labour, equipment and material required to construct this project is as follows: Note SP refers to the Special Provisions (in Appendix F) to reference for additional details of work.

Appendix C — Construction and Maintenance Assessment Schedules and Assessment Background Information Appendix C1 — Schedule of Assessment for Construction In accordance with Section 8(1)(c) of the Act, this Appendix shows the distribution of the total estimated cost over the lands and roads involved and are in accordance with Sections 21, 22, 23, 24, and 26 of the Act. Affected private lands that are deemed to have an agricultural tax class may be eligible for any grants which may be available through the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). The engineering and administration costs have been assessed out over the entire drain. The assessments have been calculated using the Modified Todgham Method to distribute the project costs throughout the watershed in a fair and equitable manner. Detailed calculations of these assessments are available to affected property owners upon request. More information on assessment and the Drainage Act can be found on the OMAFRA website. Sections 22 and 23 — Benefit and Outlet Assessment Section 21 of the Act states: "The engineer in the report shall assess for benefit, outlet liability and injuring liability, and shall insert in an assessment schedule, in separate columns, the sums assessed for each opposite each parcel of land and road liable therefor. R.S.O. 1990, c. D.17, s. 21." Section 22 of the Act states: "Lands, roads, buildings, utilities or other structures that are increased in value or are more easily maintained as a result of the construction, improvement, maintenance or repair of a drainage works may be assessed for benefit. R.S.O. 1990, c. D.17, s.22" Section 23 of the Act states: "(1) Lands and roads that use a drainage works as an outlet, or for which, when the drainage works is constructed or improved, an improved outlet is provided either directly or indirectly through the medium of any other drainage works or of a swale, ravine, creek, or watercourse, may be assessed for outlet liability. (2) If, from any land or road, water is artificially caused by any means to flow upon and injure any other land or road, the land or road from which the water is caused to flow may be assessed for injuring liability with respect to a drainage works to relieve the injury so caused to such other land or road. (3) The assessment for outlet liability and injuring liability provided for in subsections (1) and (2) shall be based upon the volume and rate of flow of the water artificially caused to flow upon the injured land or road or into the drainage works from the lands and roads liable for such assessments. (4) The owners of the lands and roads made liable to assessment only under subsection (1) or (2) shall neither count for nor against the petition required by section 4 unless within the area therein described. R.S.O. 1990, c. D.17, s.23." Throughout the course of the drain, specific costs were assigned to various property owners. Parts of the costs of items such as catchbasins, junction boxes, berms, etc. were assessed to the lands directly upstream and downstream of the item and/or the entire upstream watershed. Section 26 —Special Assessment Section 26 of the Act states: "In addition to all other sums lawfully assessed against the property of a public utility or road authority under this Act, and despite the fact that the public utility or road authority is not otherwise assessable under this Act, the public utility or road authority shall be assessed for and shall pay all the increase of cost of such drainage works caused by the existence of the works of the public utility or road authority. R.S.O. 1990, c. D.17, s.26." In this report, a Section 26 assessment was applied to Sideroad 30 S. The increased cost for installing the road crossing has been assessed to the road authority, as has an administrative charge for the on-site construction inspection. The remaining administrative costs have been assessed as a specific Benefit to the affected road. Pursuant to Section 26 of the Drainage Act the following Special Assessments are made: 1. Sideroad 30 S (Municipality of Kincardine) (Sta. 0+000 to 0+036) The Special Assessment for this portion of the work is the increased cost to the proposed drain due to the presence and operation of the road and is calculated as follows: Construction Costs - Equivalent Drain + Engineering/ = Special Administration Assessment Consisting of Items: Consisting of: Consisting of: Item A9 —Supply and 36 m of dual 600 mm Construction layout and install approx. 36 m of dia.

We understand that you propose to: • Enclose 350m of Kincardine Kinloss Drain and install a new tile drainage system; • Make improvements to the existing road crossing culvert and outlet culvert of Kincardine Kinloss Drain to accommodate the new drainage tile; • Conduct all in-water works, undertakings or activities in isolation of open or flowing water with fish excluded; and • Ensure appropriate erosion and sediment control measures. Our review considered the following information: • Request for Review form and associated documents submitted on February 15th, 2022. Your proposal has been reviewed to determine whether it is likely to result in: • the death of fish by means other than fishing and the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat which are prohibited under subsections 34.4(1) and 35(1) of the Fisheries Act; and • effects to listed aquatic species at risk, any part of their critical habitat or the residences of their individuals in a manner which is prohibited under sections 32, 33 and subsection 58(1) of the Species at Risk Act. Cmada, /2 22-HCAA-00337 - 2 - The aforementioned impacts are prohibited unless authorized under their respective legislation and regulations. To avoid and mitigate the potential for prohibited effects to fish and fish habitat(as listed above), we recommend implementing the measures listed below: • Plan in-water works, undertakings and activities to respect timing windows to protect fish and fish habitat o No in-water work between March 15 to July 15 • Capture, relocate and monitor for fish trapped within isolated, enclosed, or dewatered areas o Dewater gradually to reduce the potential for stranding fish • Screen intake pipes to prevent entrainment or impingement of fish o Use the code of practice for water intake screens • Apply the interim code of practice for temporary cofferdams and diversion channels • Limit impacts on riparian vegetation to those approved for the work, undertaking or activity • Limit the duration of in-water works, undertakings and activities so that it does not diminish the ability of fish to carry out one or more of their life processes (spawning, rearing, feeding, migrating) • Conduct in-water undertakings and activities during periods of low flow • Develop and implement an Sediment Control Plan to minimize sedimentation of the waterbody during all phases of the work, undertaking or activity • Do not deposit any deleterious substances in the water course • Develop and implement a response plan to avoid a spill of deleterious substances o Stop work, contain sediment-laden water and other deleterious substances and prevent their further migration into the watercourse Provided that you incorporate these measures into your plans, the Program is of the view that your proposal will not require an authorization under the Fisheries Act, or the Species at Risk Act. Should your plans change or if you have omitted some information in your proposal, further review by the Program may be required. Consult our website (hlt2://www.dfo- mpo.gc.cq/ or consult with a qualified environmental consultant to determine if further review may be necessary. It remains your responsibility to remain in compliance with the Fisheries Act, and the Species at Risk Act.

(Env.) G. Cert. E.R Reviewed By: Kevin Butt, B.Sc. (Env.) Rest Cert, TRAQ 1.0 Project Background R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited (Burnside) have been retained by the Municipality of Kincardine to provide engineering and consulting services for the enclosure of Kincardine-Kinloss MD Branch A (the drain). The proposed works involve enclosing approximately 325 m of the drain from its origin to the Sideroad 30S road crossing. The downstream limit of the work zone is the crossing at Sideroad 30s (44.145383, - 81.462680). The location of the drain is visible on Drawing 1 enclosed. A permit is required prior to undertaking any alterations of this feature as the drain is regulated feature under the jurisdiction of the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA). The SVCA requires an assessment of on-site terrestrial conditions as a part of permitting requirements. It must be demonstrated that the proposed drain enclosure will not result in any adverse ecological impacts to terrestrial ecosystems in order for a permit to be issued. Technical Memorandum Page 2 of 10 Project No.: 300054217.0000 September 22,2022 2.0 Terrestrial Habitat Assessment 2.1 Background Information Review Burnside's terrestrial ecology staff reviewed the following sources of information to determine ecological constraints which may impact the proposed works: • Aerial Imagery (2021); • The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) Natural Heritage Information Centre (NHIC) database to identify records of rare wildlife species on, and in the vicinity of, the Site; • The Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas (OBBA), 2001-2005 for records of birds breeding in the area'; and • The Ontario Reptile and Amphibian Atlas (ORAA), for records of reptiles and amphibians in the area. Natural Heritage Information Centre Database The NHIC was accessed to search for records of provincially significant plants, vegetation, communities, and all forms of wildlife within the Subject Property and the surrounding areas. The database provides data for 1 km x 1 km blocks. The Subject Property and the vicinity (i.e., within 120 m of the site) falls within two (2) 1 km squares (square no. 17MJ6288 and 17MJ6388). The search revealed two (2) records of Bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus) and two (2) records for Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna). Both species are designated as Threatened and ranked as S4. The following features are, or may also be present within 120 m of the drainage feature: • Wildlife Concentration Area — Mixed Wader Nesting Colony; and • Habitat of endangered and threatened species. Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas A review of the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas (OBBA) square 17PJ12 identified records of 90 bird species in the vicinity of the site. The relative rarity2 of each species is identified in Table 1 below. Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas (OBBA). 2005. Atlas Records and Square Summaries.

Species ranked S4 are considered to be apparently secure while species listed as S3 are considered to be vulnerable and S2 ranked species are imperiled. Of the species listed above, seven (7) are listed under the Endangered Species Act either as Special Concern (SC), Threatened (THR), or Endangered (END), ranking from S4 to S2B. Species at risk that occur within the general vicinity of the project include: • Eastern Wood-pewee (Contopus virens; SC); • Bank Swallow (Riparia riparia; THR); • Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica; THR); • Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina; SC); • Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis; SC); • Bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus; THR); and • Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna; THR). Suitable habitat is only present within 120 meters of the project for one of these seven species, Barn Swallow. We note that suitable nesting habitat for Barn Swallow only occurs within the box culvert located at the Concession 5 Crossing. This culvert crossing will not be altered as a part of this project. Records for Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark exist in the immediate vicinity of the project, but row-cropping that is present on the site is not considered to be suitable habitat. It should be noted that in the case of Eastern Meadowlark and Bobolink, both species are can potentially nest within agricultural fields; however, as per General Regulation O.Reg. 242/08 under the ESA, exemptions are granted to agricultural operations that would otherwise contravene the species and habitat protection afforded to both species. it is not recommended that habitat regulations include intensively managed agricultural systems, including all annual row crops (e.g., corn, soybeans, winter wheat, etc.) within the recovery strategy for Eastern Meadowlark Technical Memorandum Page 4 of 10 Project No.: 300054217.0000 September 22,2022 and Bobolink. These systems are of poor habitat quality and often cannot be used beyond one breeding season (McCraken et al. 2013)2. Suitable habitat is not present for Eastern Wood-pewee, Bank Swallow, Wood Thrush, or Canada Warbler. See Table 2 (enclosed) for further details OBBA records are provided in Table 1 enclosed. Ontario Reptile and Amphibian Atlas A review of the Ontario Reptiles and Amphibian Atlas square 17MJ683 identified records of nine (9) different species of reptiles and amphibians within the vicinity of the site.

Accessed July 18, 2022 from: https://www.ontarioinsects.org/herp/ Technical Memorandum Page 5 of 10 Project No.: 300054217.0000 September 22,2022 Of the nine species listed above, one species, Snapping Turtle (Chelydrua serpentine), is classified as a species of Special Concern. Suitable habitat is present on-site for Snapping Turtle. 3.0 Existing Conditions Terrestrial habitat conditions were assessed based on data provided during a site visit by a Burnside ecologist on November 9, 2021. Ecological communities were assessed using the protocols outlined in the Ecological Land Classification for Southern Ontario (Lee et al., 1998)4 and classified using the 2008 ELC Protocol (Lee, 2008)5. Ecological Land Classification Overall, terrestrial habitat is consistent throughout the reach of the drain. A description of each community is provided below. The locations and extent of the ELC communities present within the Project Limits and adjacent areas can be found in Figure 2 enclosed. MAMM1-3 - Reed-canary Grass Graminoid Mineral Meadow Marsh Type The MAMM1-3 community represents the entire riparian area of the drain and spans approximately three (3) to five (5) meters from the edge of the drain (Photo 1 and 2). Tree cover is limited throughout the entirety of this community (>10% cover). Tree species present include: Eastern Cottonwood (Populus deltoides), Silver Maple (Acersaccharinum), Alder Sp. (Alnus sp.), Ash (Fraxinus sp.), and White Willow (Salix alba). Shrub cover is also limited throughout the drain (>10%). Plant species present include Red Osier Dogwood (Corpus sericea), Willow (Salix sp.), and Aspen regeneration (Populus sp.). Reed Canary Grass (Phalaris arundinacea) is dominant ground cover species. Other associate species include Common Milkweed (Asclepius syriaca), Bittersweet Nightshade (Solanum dulcamara), Aster (Symphyotrichum sp.), Goldenrod (Solidago sp.), Wild Carrot (Daucus carota), and Teasel (Dipsacus sylvestris). Broadleaf Cattail (Typha latifolia) is also present within the channel of the drain in conjunction with Reed Canary Grass within the channel. Overall, the MAMM1-3 community is a common, widespread, and low sensitivity-ecosystem. OAGM1 —Annual Row Crops This community represents the agricultural lands surrounding the drain. Crop species present include winter wheat, a winter cover crop, and soy (Photo 3). 4 Lee, H.T, W.D. Bakowsky, J.L. Riley, J. Bowles, M. Puddister, P. Uhlig, S. McMurray. 1998.

T Photo 3.^Agricultural lands adjacent to the drain. 4.0 Impacts and Mitigation Overall, the ecological communities present on-site are low-sensitivity, common and widespread across southern Ontario. In addition, the MAMM1-3 community extends east of Concession 5 and will still provide habitat for common, low-sensitivity wildlife species. Based on Burnside's assessment of the on-site conditions, the removal of a relatively small portion of the MAM M 1-3 community will not impact the ecological functioning of the ecological communities downstream of the drain enclosure. Technical Memorandum Page 9 of 10 Project No.: 300054217.0000 September 22,2022 Loss or Disturbance to Migratory Birds or their Nests The riparian vegetation is also likely to provide nesting habitat for common, tolerant bird species. Based on the on-site conditions and historical records, Species at Risk birds are not supported. Although riparian vegetation provides habitat for migratory bird, impacts of removing this vegetation is anticipated to minimal and will not impact bird populations and a landscape level. To prevent the incidental, take of migratory birds or their nests, vegetation clearing should be completed outside of the breeding bird season (Nesting Zone C2 core breeding window, or when 41-100% are predicted to be nesting for all habitat types, is approximately April 1 to August 31). If this is not possible, a bird specialist should survey the site prior to clearing to confirm that no active nests of migratory birds are present. Any active nests should be fenced and left undisturbed until young have fledged, as determined by a qualified biologist. Loss of Wildlife Habitat The drain and its associated riparian area may provide suitable habitat various wildlife species including one species of Special Concern, Snapping Turtle and common, widespread breeding anurans that are able to metamorphosize during the summer breeding season such as American Toad (Anaxyrus americanus) and Spring Peeper (Pseudacris crucifer). The drain is unlikely to support species that require permanent standing water for reproduction such as Green Frog (Lithobates clamitans) and American Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) as it is likely that the drain is seasonally dry. Consideration should be provided for the listed amphibian and reptile species; mitigation measures are discussed in greater detail below. Removal of limited quantities of terrestrial habitat will not impact wildlife populations at a landscape level. The drain does not act as a movement corridor to the wetland for terrestrial species as the feature is effectively isolated by the surrounding agricultural fields despite the presence of a wetland feature is located within approximately 300 meters of the feature. It should also be noted that suitable habitat is present for turtles and anurans immediately downstream of the proposed works. Wildlife relocations (anurans, turtles) should also be undertaken prior to commencing any construction works and for any wildlife encountered during construction. All wildlife relocations should be conducted by trained a biologist or ecologist under a Wildlife Scientific Collectors Authorization. Additionally, in-water works and alterations in water level should not occur during turtle overwintering (November— March). Erosion and Sedimentation Encroachment There is potential for erosion / sedimentation and encroachment to occur beyond the construction limits as a result of vegetation removal, excavation, and grading and works. Technical Memorandum Page 10 of 10 Project No.: 300054217.0000 September 22,2022 A sediment trap will be constructed at the downstream limit of the works and a rock check dam will be installed to prevent sedimentation of the reaches downstream of the construction zone. A stilling basin will also be constructed at the outlet of the tile drain. Rip-rap will be placed above the high-water mark to provide erosion protection and round river stone will be placed on the bed of the channel at the outlet of the tile. These measures will be monitored daily by the Environmental Inspector during construction and all deficiencies rectified immediately. Noise Noise can be disruptive to various wildlife species including calling anurans and songbirds. Environmental noise will be reduced through the standard operating practices and conformity with noise by-law requirements. Noise will only occur during daylight hours. The Environmental Inspector will ensure that all operational plans and construction timing associated with noise management are being followed. 5.0 Conclusions The drain is likely to provide habitat for common species of bird and amphibian as well as one species of turtle, as outlined in Section 2 of this memo. The loss of the MAMM1-3 ecosite associated with enclosing the drain will not impact downstream ecological communities or wildlife populations at a landscape level. It is Burnside's opinion that any deleterious impacts to wildlife species can be effectively mitigated using appropriate timing windows, wildlife relocations, implementation of erosion measures and ongoing monitoring by the Environmental Inspector of erosion measures, noise, and presence of wildlife.

All work shall be done in accordance with current and applicable Ontario Provincial Standard Specifications and Drawings (OPSS and OPSD). E.2.1.2 BENCHMARKS Benchmarks shall be set at intervals along the course of the work at locations shown on the accompanying plan and/or profile. The Contractor or landowner shall be held liable for the cost of re-establishing benchmarks destroyed. Attention is drawn to Section 13 of The Drainage Act. E.2.1.3 STAKES/FLAGS/MARKERS Stakes, flags or markers are typically set at intervals throughout the course of the work, at all fences and property lines. The Contractor or landowner shall be held liable for the cost of replacing any stakes removed or destroyed. E.2.1.4 PROFILE The drain is to be excavated or installed to regular gradient lines as shown on the profile(s). These gradients show the bottom of the finished drain (open or closed) and are governed entirely by the benchmarks. In the case of closed drains, the gradient is that of the invert of the tile. The profile(s) shows the approximate depth from the surface of the ground to the invert of the tile or drain bottom at the point where the stations are set and from the average bottom of the open drain as taken at the time of survey. Open drains shall be brought to an even gradient in the bottom to prevent standing water. For closed drains, a variation of 25 mm (unless specified otherwise) from the gradient may be deemed sufficient reason for the work to be rejected and required to be rebuilt. E.2.1.5 CLEARING Clearing means the cutting of all standing trees, brush, bushes and other vegetation to a maximum height of 300 mm above original ground level as well as the removal of felled materials and windfalls. Trees measuring 150 mm or more in diameter shall be felled, delimbed, cut into lengths no longer than 4 m and stacked to the designated side of the working space. The work shall not damage or disturb the area outside the areas specified in the Contract Documents. The work shall consist of clearing all areas of earth excavation, earth surfaces to be covered by embankments up to and including 1.2 m in height, and any other areas specified in the Contract Documents. PAGE 1 OF 15 No trees, brush or bushes are to be left inside the slopes of the drain, whether they are located within the limits of the excavation or not. Brush cleared in accordance with the above shall be piled in a location and in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer for burning by the Owner. Unless otherwise specified or directed, these piles shall be a minimum of 100 m apart and shall contain only cleared material. All work shall be done in accordance with OPSS 201. E.2.1.6 CLOSE CUT CLEARING Close Cut Clearing means the cutting of all standing trees, stumps, brush, bushes and other vegetation at original ground level and the removal of felled materials and windfalls. Grubbing means the removal of all stumps, roots, embedded logs, debris and secondary growth. Trees measuring 150 mm or more in diameter shall be felled, delimbed, cut into lengths no longer than 4 m and stacked to the designated side of the working space. The work shall not damage or disturb the area outside the areas specified in the Contract Documents. The work shall consist of close cut clearing all earth surfaces to be covered by embankments greater than 1.2 m in height, and any other areas specified in the Contract Documents. No trees, stumps, brush or bushes are to be left inside the slopes of the drain whether they are located within the limits of the excavation or not. Brush cleared in accordance with the above shall be piled in a location and in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer for burning by the Owner. Unless otherwise specified or directed, these piles shall be a minimum of 100 m apart and shall contain only cleared material. All work shall be done in accordance with OPSS 201. E.2.1.7 BRUSHING Brushing means the grinding or chipping to ground level of vegetation in the working space under 150 mm in diameter by means of a hydraulic brushing attachment used with an excavator or approved equivalent. This includes grinding or chipping all standing trees, stumps, brush, bushes and other vegetation to original ground level. Trees measuring 150 mm or more in diameter shall be felled, delimbed, cut into lengths no longer than 4 m and stacked to the designated side of the working space. The work shall not damage or disturb the area outside the areas specified in the Contract Documents. All work shall be done in accordance with OPSS 201. E.2.1.8 GRUBBING Grubbing means the removal of all stumps, roots, embedded logs, debris and secondary growth. PAGE 2 OF 15 The work shall consist of grubbing all areas of earth excavation, earth surfaces to be covered by embankments up to and including 1.2 m in height and any other areas specified in the Contract Documents. Grubbing is not required in swamps. Mechanical stump cutters are permitted, provided the entire root structure is removed. Depressions remaining after grubbing shall be backfilled with suitable earth material and compacted to avoid settlement. When clearing has been previously completed by others, all secondary growth, brush and debris shall be removed. Piled boulders and surface boulders that are not specified in the Contract Documents for removal and lie within areas to be grubbed shall be removed. The work shall not damage or disturb the area outside the areas specified in the Contract Documents. All work shall be done in accordance with OPSS 201. E.2.1.9 REMOVAL OF SURFACE BOULDERS & REMOVAL OF PILED BOULDERS Piled Boulders means any cobbles, boulders or rock fragments that have been placed in fence rows or piles. Rock means rock as defined in OPSS 206. Surface Boulder means any boulder or rock fragment that measures 200 mm or greater in any one dimension, extends a minimum of 200 mm above original ground and can be removed without excavation. The work shall consist of the removal of surface boulders and removal of piled boulders within the areas specified in the Contract Documents. Depressions remaining after removal shall be backfilled with suitable earth material and compacted to avoid settlement. The work shall not damage or disturb the area outside the areas specified in the Contract Documents. All work shall be done in accordance with OPSS 201. E.2.1.10 FENCES The Contractor will be permitted to remove fences to the extent necessary to allow the construction of the drain and to dispose of any excess material according to the specifications. Any such fences shall be carefully handled so as to cause no unnecessary damage. Unless allowance has been provided, such fences shall be replaced by the Contractor in as good a condition as found. The Contractor shall supply all material necessary to properly reconstruct any fences. The Contractor shall not leave any fence open when he is not at work in the immediate area and shall replace the fence in a timely manner, all to the satisfaction of the Engineer. PAGE 3 OF 15 E.2.1.11 STANDING CROPS AND LIVESTOCK Should a property owner wish to harvest any crop along an access route or within the construction working space as set out in the Engineer's Report, then it shall be the responsibility of the property owner to do so prior to construction. Provisions for the loss of, or damage to, crops along the access route or in the construction area ("Working Space") have been made in the Report and such loss or damage shall not be the liability of the Contractor. The Contractor shall contain construction operations to the working space and width specified. As long as the construction operations are contained within the specified working space, the Contractor shall not be responsible for damages to crops along the course of the drain. It shall be the responsibility of the property owners to keep their livestock clear of the construction area upon receiving 24 hours advance notice by the Contractor. After receiving proper notice, the Owner of the property upon which a drain is being constructed shall be liable for any loss or damage to livestock, the drain, drain materials or the Contractor's equipment caused by their livestock. E.2.1.12 NOTIFICATION OF AGENCIES The Contractor shall notify the appropriate agency before performing any work affecting the land or property of the MTO, railway, telephone, pipeline or public utility or regulatory agency. The Contractor shall further agree to perform the work affecting such lands or property in accordance with the specifications and approval/permit of the applicable agency. E.2.1.13 FINAL INSPECTIONS After substantial completion of the work, but prior to demobilization and final removal of all equipment and materials from the site, the Contractor MUST arrange an on-site FINAL Inspection of the work with the engineer to ensure all aspects of the work have been satisfactorily completed and/or that arrangements have been made to expedite the completion of any outstanding "minor" items or deficiencies.

PAGE 4 OF 15 E.2.2 SPECIFICATIONS FOR OPEN DRAINS E.2.2.1 GEOMETRY The drain shall have the full bottom width, at the gradient, specified or shown on the accompanying plan(s), profile(s) and detail sheet(s). E.2.2.2 ALIGNMENT The drain shall run in straight lines throughout each course except at intersections, where it shall run on a minimum curve of 15 m radius unless otherwise specified. If the work consists of the improvement of an existing open drain, then the centre line of the existing drain may be the centre line of the finished work unless otherwise specified. E.2.2.3 EXCAVATED MATERIAL A clear buffer of at least 3 m shall be left between the top edge of the open drain and the excavated material. Excavated material shall be placed on the side specified or, if not specified, on the lower side of the drain or on the side opposite trees or fences. No excavated material is to be left in any low runs intended to conduct water into the open drain. It shall be deposited, spread and leveled to a maximum depth of 150 mm, unless specified otherwise and left in a manner such that the lands on which it is spread may be cultivated with adjacent lands by use of ordinary farm machinery. Material excavated in land that is timbered, may be spread to the depth specified or to a maximum depth of 300 mm, which ever is greater. In cultivated areas, the Contractor shall remove stones and boulders on the surface greater than 100 mm diameter from the excavated material and dispose of in an approved location. Treatment of excavated material shall be to the satisfaction of the Engineer. After the excavated material has been spread and leveled, it shall be seeded as specified. E.2.2.4 SURFACE WATER INLETS Surface water inlets to the drain shall be provided through the leveled spoil on each property at obvious natural low runs or at other locations as specified by the Engineer on site at the time of construction. No excavated material shall be left in, or any damage done to a ditch, furrow, pipe, tile or depression that is intended to conduct water into an open drain. The drain bank at all such inlets shall be riprapped as directed by the Engineer and reimbursed under the appropriate contract item. E.2.2.5 OUTLETS During the construction of an open drain, the Contractor shall guard against damaging the outlet of any tributary drain or pipes encountered.

The material shall be placed in lifts not to exceed 300 mm in depth and all granular materials shall be compacted to 100 % SPMDD and all subsoil or previously excavated material to 95 % SPMDD. The final 150 mm of the excavation shall be filled with clean crushed gravel conforming to O.P.S.S. Granular "A" specifications. The material shall be placed in lifts not exceeding 150 mm in depth and shall be thoroughly compacted to 100 % SPMDD. E.2.2.7 EXCAVATION AT BRIDGE SITES The excavation at bridge sites shall be to the full depth of the drain and as nearly as possible the full width of the drain as specified for the bridge location. The excavation at a bridge site shall be made in a manner to protect the structural integrity of any permanent bridge. A temporary bridge may be carefully removed to allow excavation. The removal of a bridge is to be done in such a manner so as to cause no damage to the bridge components. Temporary bridges removed to allow excavation shall be replaced in as good a condition as found, so far as material allows. Replacing of such bridges shall be to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer if it becomes apparent that excavating to a specified gradient will endanger or underpin any culvert or bridge. The Contractor shall cease excavation at the bridge or culvert site until the Engineer instructs the Contractor to proceed. E.2.2.8 SEEDING Unless indicated otherwise in the Special Provisions, the Contractor shall seed all disturbed areas which includes newly excavated drain banks and leveled spoil (where PAGE 6 OF 15 specified) with the OPSS (MTO) Standard Roadside Seed Mix, consisting of 55% Creeping Red Fescue, 27% Kentucky Bluegrass, 15% Perennial Ryegrass and 3% White Clover, at an application rate of 100 kg/10,000 m2, plus a nurse crop of Fall Rye Grain or Winter Wheat Grain at an application rate of 60 kg/10,000 m2, at the end of each working day.

E.2.3.2 DRAIN GRADIENT AND VERIFICATION The proposed gradient shall be established using laser grade control equipment, cross- head boning rods together with horizontal sight-bars at stations above and below the point where the tile is being laid or other method acceptable to the Engineer. If the Engineer has not checked the tile, inspection points shall be left at intervals of not greater than 50 m for sections with gradients less than 0.5 % and at intervals of not greater than 30 m for sections with gradients above 0.5 %. Inspection points shall also PAGE 9 OF 15 be left at all structures and all changes in gradient. Other inspections points may be required from time to time as requested by the Engineer. E.2.3.3 TILE LAYING INCLUDING TOPSOIL STRIPPING In the case of the installation of CDT, and unless specified otherwise in the Special Provisions, the Contractor shall strip the topsoil a full width of the trenching machine plus 0.3 m on each side prior to installing the new tile with the trencher as part of the work under the appropriate item and no extra payment will be made for this stripping. After installation, confirming gradient, blinding, and back filling of the trench, the topsoil shall be replaced throughout the entire length of the Drain. The Contractor shall take into consideration the settlement of the backfill material over the trench prior to replacing the topsoil. All CDT shall be installed with a wheel-type trencher and each tile shall be laid firmly and carefully in a smooth bottomed trench so that successive tiles align both vertically and horizontally as tightly as possible; the maximum allowable space between successive tiles shall be 6 mm. ALL joints of the CDT MUST be completely wrapped with geotextile (Terrafix 20OR or equivalent) as part of the work under the appropriate item and no extra payment will be made for this wrapping. The wrap on each joint shall be a minimum of: • 300 mm wide for tile sizes smaller than 450 mm diameter • 600 mm wide for tile sizes 450 mm diameter and above The Contractor is reminded that the widths of the tile trenches are to be kept to a minimum. It is recommended that the minimum trench width be 300 mm greater than the outside diameter of the tile or 150 mm on each side of the tile being installed. It is recommended that the maximum trench width be 600 mm greater than the outside diameter of the tile or 300 mm on each side of the tile being installed. All PDT shall be installed with a self-propelled drainage plow. All obstructions, dirt or foreign material shall be removed from the inside of the tile prior to laying. Tile drains shall be constructed at an offset from, and parallel to, any existing drain, defined watercourse or low run. The Contractor shall exercise care not to disturb any existing private or municipal tile drains which follow the same course as the new drain. E.2.3.4 RECONNECTION OF EXISTING PRIVATE TILE Any subsurface drain encountered by the Contractor when constructing a Municipal Drain under these specifications shall be reconnected to itself and not connected to the PAGE 10 OF 15 new Municipal Drain, unless approved otherwise by the Engineer. The accepted practice for reconnecting existing tile drains will be to compact sub-base material from the new trench bottom to the underside of the existing tile. Rigid pipe, HDPE (320 kPa) or approved equivalent, with a diameter equal or larger than the existing tile with a minimum length of 0.6 m beyond the trench width to the existing tile. This connection shall be made only where the existing tile is operable and in good condition. When completing backfilling of the Municipal Drain trench at such a location, the Contractor shall take sufficient care to ensure that the new connecting pipe is not damaged. The Contractor shall provide a unit price per connection and the unit price shall include the supply of all material, labour and equipment necessary to make the connection. Further, the Contractor shall keep a written record of all sub-surface drains encountered. All connections completed shall be reviewed with the Engineer on a daily basis and a summary of all subdrains shall be provided to the landowner. E.2.3.5 CONNECTION OF EXISTING PRIVATE TILES TO MUNICIPAL DRAIN A subsurface drain encountered during construction can be connected to the Municipal Drain if requested by the landowner and approved by the Engineer prior to commencement of the connection. The drain shall be connected to the Municipal Drain either by core drilling through the CDT or a prefabricated fitting for HDPE. The core shall be drilled on-site and backfilled as per the specified detail included within the drawings. Any tile drains connected to the Municipal Drain shall have the downstream end of the tile plugged to prevent entry of foreign material into the tile. E.2.3.6 TRENCH BACKFILLING As the laying of the tile progresses, partial filling or blinding shall be made at the sides of the trench sufficient to hold the tiles securely in place. The Contractor shall place the remainder of the excavated material carefully when backfilling the trench. Any excess backfill material shall be mounded over the trench such that future settlement and compaction around the new tile can occur without creating a depression over the width of the trench. The Contractor shall not operate construction equipment over any backfilled trench, except as specified in Trench Crossings. Care shall be exercised in backfilling the trench to see that no stone or boulder capable of damaging the tile is used in the backfill material adjacent to the tile. In no case shall stones having a diameter greater than 150 mm be used in backfill material within 300 mm of the tile. The Contractor shall backfill any open tile trenches at the end of each working day except for inspection points as specified. The Contractor shall be entirely responsible for any damage to the new tile throughout the warranty period.
