Councillors SUBJECT Rezoning of 1265 1285 Loch Lomond Road Section 39 Conditions BACKGROUND On September 10 2007 Common Council gave first and second reading to a proposed amendment to the Municipal Plan and Zoning By law to permit an auto body shop and used car sales lot at 1265 1285 Loch Lomond Road Mr Michael McCluskey spoke on behalf of the applicant as well as Mr Rick Shephard the proposed building designer and Mrs Wendy Maber a local business owner There was one individual present who expressed concerns regarding the application and noted that a petition had been submitted A number ofletters both in support of and in opposition to the proposal were received After considering the attached report and presentations made Common Council requested that staff prepare conditions pursuant to Section 39 of the Community Planning Act for the proposed use Common Council also requested information regarding the potential environmental impact of the proposed use and whether provincial regulations might already be in place to govern auto body paint and repair operations ANALYSIS Discussions with the Department of Building and Technical Services have reinforcea that an engineered ventilation system would be required for the proposed use to ensure that fumes and dust would be appropriately dealt with Report to Common Council September 7 2007 Page 2 Both the provincial and federal governments currently regulate the use of materials containing volatile organic compounds VOCs as they are the precursors to particulate matter and ozone the key ingredients of smog The solvents in automotive refinish coatings paint and surface cleaners contain VOCs which evaporate to the atmosphere during surface preparation paint application and clean up The provincial Department of Environment requires that certain sources of air pollutants apply for an Approval to Operate under the Clean Air Act The Approval limits the amount and type of pollutants released and sets out standards and methods for monitoring and reporting A wide range ofterms and conditions can be attached to an Approval Small sources are not regulated as the emissions are less than the Department s pre determined criteria for the issuance of a Certificate ofApproval to Operate A discussion with Department staff revealed that they currently only require an Approval to Operate for auto body paint operations using more than 5 000 litres of paint per year The applicant has indicated that his operation Distinctive Autobody Collision Centre Ltd only uses approximately 500 litres of paint per year The Department does have Small Source Users ofMaterials that Release Volatile Organic Compounds Guidelines Draft for small VOC sources including auto body shops These guidelines advise that 1 all facilities that are considered small source users of materials that release VOCs are to design install and operate alocalized ventilation system that collects the VOCs and vents them through a stack having a minimum exit velocity of 15 metres per second 2 the stack is to be located as far as possible from the neighbouring properties 3 the localized ventilation system is to be in operation at all times when materials that release VOCs are being used and for at least two hours after use 4 the materials that release the VOCs and the associated wastes shall be stored in covered containers to prevent the release of VOCs during storage 5 the area where the materials that release the VOCs are being used shall be isolated from the shipping and receiving areas Report to Common Council September 17 2007 Page 3 As well the federal Department of the Environment is working to reduce emissions of air pollutants in Canada and is proposing regulations that would set mandatory limits on the VOC content of automotive refinish coatings These limits would apply to the manufacture import and sale of these products in Canada and could be in place as soon as January 1 2009 The applicant has indicated that he is aware of these intended regulations and has also pointed out that he intends to use waterborne paints rather than solventborne paints in his operation within the next year Industry specifications provided by the applicant indicate that the VOC levels in these waterborne paints are significantly below regulatory standards As a result of the existing and proposed regulations and controls put in place and enforced by the provincial and federal governments it does not appear that additional protection would be warranted in Section 39 conditions attached to the proposed rezoning Normally the issues addressed in Section 39 conditions include the permitted uses and the nature of required site improvements Of late there has been an increasing need to address the detailed design elements of new buildings to ensure that they fit into the surrounding urban context which varies from site to site and to promote quality developments that that will be an asset to the community The recommended Section 39 conditions detailed below address these issues RECOMMENDATION That pursuant to Section 39 of the Community Planning Act the proposed rezoning of 1265 1285 Loch Lomond Road also identified as PID Number 55054514 be subject to the following conditions a the use of the site be limited to an auto body paint or repair shop a car sales lot a used car sales lot a business office a personal service shop and subject to terms and conditions as may be imposed by the Committee aretail store b the Developer must pave all parking areas loading areas manoeuvring areas and driveways with asphalt c all paved areas at the front and sides of the site must be enclosed with continuous cast in place concrete curbs to protect landscaping and facilitate proper drainage d site drainage facilities including necessary catch basins must be provided by the Developer in accordance with a detailed drainage plan prepared by Report to Common Council September 17 2007 Page the Developer and subject to the approval of the Chief City Engineer or his designate e all disturbed areas of the site not occupied by buildings driveways walkways parking storage or loading areas must be landscaped by the Developer Landscaping must extend onto the City street right of way to the edge ofthe street curb or sidewalk f the site must be developed only in accordance with detailed site and elevation plans prepared by the Developer and subject to the approval of the Development Officer illustrating the building location design and finishing materials asphalt paving areas access curbing lighting signage and landscaping The approved site and elevation plans must be attached to the building permit application for the development g water and sanitary sewer services must be provided in a manner acceptable to the Chief City Engineer or his designate and the Developer must convey any required public utility or municipal services easements h any outdoor storage of materials must be within a storage compound completely enclosed with privacy fencing i all site improvements shown on the approved site and elevation plans must be completed within one year ofbuilding permit approval Respectfully submitted Jim R Baird MCIP Commissioner Planning and Development ci J Terrence Totten F C A City Manager SKH Project No 07 216 0I J SECTION 39 AMENDMENT 461 ELLERDALE STREET RESOLVED that Common Council amend the Section 39 conditions imposed on September 2 1975 and sUbsequently amended on December 15 1975 March 15 1982 June 15 1988 and October 10 2006 in conjunction with the rezoning of that portion of the subject property located at 461 Ellerdale Street also identified as the majority of PID Number 00431536 by accepting the revised proposal showing three apartment buildings containing a total of up to 168 dwelling units as the basis for development of the expanded site subject to the following a development of the site is limited to a maximum of 80 dwelling units until such time as the proponent has completed an engineering water and sanitary sewer analysis that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Chief City Engineer that the proposed development of more than 80 units does not exceed the current capacity of the existing systems b all other existing conditions applicable to the site shall remain in force and effect aj p Reducing or eliminating THMs in drinking water What are THMs THMs are trihalomethanes chemical compounds that can be formed when water is disinfected with chlorine THMs occur when chlorine reacts with organic matter naturally present in water such as decaying leaves and for this reason THMs are common in surface water supplies throughout Canada Saint John s water comes from surface supplies The north south and east parts of Saint John receive water from Latimer Lake and the Loch Lomond watershed The west side ofSaint John receives its water from the Spruce Lake watershed which is supplemented at times by the Musquash watershed The chemical reaction between chlorine and organic matter forms a group of chemicals known as disinfection by products The most common of these by products are trihalomethanes THMs THMs include four chemical compounds bromodichloromethane BDCM dibromochloromethane DBCM chloroform and bromoform Is there a drinking water guideline set for THMs and BOCMs in drinking water The acceptable level or guideline for THMs in drinking water in Canada is set by Health Canada in consultation with the provinces and territories The Canadian drinking water guideline for total THMs is 100 micrograms of THMs per litre of water IlgL The guideline is based on a locational running annual average of aminimum of four quarterly samples an average of the samples from the same place The acceptable level for bromodichloromethane or BDCM is set at 16 IlgL The updated guidelines for total THMs and BDCM werereleased by Health Canada in May 2006 For more information go to Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Oualitv Supporting Documents Why was the guideline updated in 20061 The new BDCM guideline is a result of new studies published since the last Canadian guideline on THMs was established In response to these new findings Health Canada established aNational Chlorination Disinfection By Products Task Group It assessed the health risks from THMs and developed risk management options Health Canada will continue to monitor new research in this area and recommend any changes to the guidelines when necessary What are the potential problems of having THMs in drinking water There is concern among experts in Canada that THMs including BDCM may pose a risk in the development ofcancer Some studies report an association between elevated THMs and reproductive effects though there is presently insufficient evidence to establish a specific relationship suggesting the need for more studies Exposure to BDCM at levels higher than the guideline value has also been linked to a possible increase in the risk of reproductive effects increased risk for spontaneous abortion or stillbirth above what can normally be expected Again further study is required It is important to note that BDCM levels in Saint John have not approached or exceeded the guideline The guidelines represent a level ofexposure that is deemed acceptable by Health Canada for a typical life span 70 years and that will not cause an increased risk to health It takes into account all three methods of exposure ingestion inhalation and skin absorption How are Canadians exposed to THMs in drinking water Canadians can be exposed to THMs when drinking tap water containing the chemical compounds Showering bathing and other water use activities can also contribute to an individuals total exposure For example THMs can evaporate from the tap and be inhaled during showering or they can be absorbed through the skin during bathing These types ofexposure have been considered in the guideline setting process Water that meets the total THMs and BDCM guidelines is considered safe for all domestic uses including drinking bathing showering and food preparation Should pregnant women take special precautions While THMs may be a contributing factor to birth outcomes there are several other influencing factors involved Exposure to BDCM levels in excess of the guideline has been linked to a possible increase in reproductive effects the New Brunswick Department of Health recommends that pregnant women or women planning to become pregnant be aware of the BDCM levels in their water and take steps to reduce their intake ofthese substances Once again please note that BDCM levels in Saint John have not approached or exceeded the guideline If I m worried about THM levels in my water supply what can I do To reduce or eliminate THMs in drinking water use a water pitcher with an activated carbon filter install a tap mounted carbon filter or to use bottled water When using a filter check to verify that it is certified to NSF Standards for removal of THMs and follow replacement instructions recommended by the manufacturer Such devices if not properly maintained can become sources ofbacterial contamination in water When using bottled water check to verify that the supplier is a member of the Canadian Bottled Water Association or the International Bottled Water Association Individuals may also want to keep the length of time spent in showers or baths to a minimum in areas with elevated levels ofTHMs and BDCM in drinking water What if I have my own water well Most private well water supplies are not disinfected The lack of chlorine disinfection means there should be no THMs or BDCMs present Why don t we simply stop chlorinating our drinking water Without adequate disinfection of our water supplies the health risks from micro organisms would far outweigh the risks from THMs or BDCMs Drinking water is disinfected with chlorine to kill bacteria and viruses that can cause serious illnesses and deaths In fact chlorination of drinking water has virtually eliminated typhoid fever cholera and many other diseases it represents one ofthe greatest achievements ofpublic health protection Secondly drinking water disinfection is necessary because once the treated water leaves the treatment plant it may travel through water mains and pipes sometimes at significant distances before it reaches its destination During this time it is necessary to maintain a residual level of disinfectant in the water to ensure no possible regrowth of micro organisms Without adequate disinfection the health risks from microorganisms far outweigh the risks from THMs Do levels of THMs fluctuate Levels normally vary within a single water supply depending on the season water temperature amount amount of natural organic matter in the water pH amount of chlorine used time the water is in the distribution system and other factors The concentration of chloroform one of the four THM chemical compounds is approximately two to three times higher during summer months as during winter months What is being done to reduce the levels of THMs in municipal drinking water The City of Saint John is working in conjunction with the New Brunswick Departments of Health and Environment to monitor the level of THMs so that they are within the guideline of lOOIlgl The City of Saint John is currently collecting data through THM surveys analyzing data and identifying options associated with THM formation reduction as part ofaTHM Action Plan In addition the City of Saint John is currently going through the process of preliminary design of new water treatment facilities New treatment technologies can remove much of the organic matter prior to disinfection thus reducing the levels of by products while maintaining sufficient levels ofdisinfection to kill micro organisms What are the alternate disinfectants Alternate disinfectants include chloramine chlorine dioxide ozone ultraviolet and others Each ofthese alternate disinfectants have advantages and disadvantages regarding handling and storage disinfection by product formation and cost Following the initial disinfection at the treatment plant however the use of some form of chlorine is still essential to maintain the required residual in the water distribution system in order to ensure microbiologically safe water How can I obtain information about my drinking water quality If you are connected to the Saint John Water municipal water system Saint John Water staff are available at 658 4455 How do I test for THMs in my drinking water Individuals on municipal water supplies do not need to have their water supply tested because the City of Saint John regularly monitors water quality Saint John Water currently uses Caduceon Environmental Laboratories If you have a private well that does not mix chlorine with the water there should be no need to test for THMs However if you wish to have your water tested please contact one of the following laboratories offering chemical analyses to obtain the proper sampling vial and how to properly collect a representative water sample Laboratory Name Saint John Laboratory Services Ltd Address 1216 Sand Cove Rd Saint John New Brunswick E2M 5V8 Contact Dr Apollos Ikejiani Phone 506 635 4938 Fax 506 672

est desinfectee a l aide de chlore Les THM se forment lorsque Ie chlore reagit avec les matieres organiques d origine naturelle presentes dans leau telles les feuilles en decomposition et sont done courants dans les approvisionnements d eau de surface partout au Canada L eau de surface approvisionne Saint John Le lac Latimer et Ie bassin hydrographique de Loch Lomond assurent la distribution de l eau aux quartiers nord sud et est de Saint John Le quartier ouest est approvisionne en eau par Ie bassin hydrographique du lac Spruce parfois supplee par Ie bassin hydrographique de Musquash La reaction chimique entre Ie chlore et les matieres organiques forme un groupe de produits chimiques appeles sous produits de desinfection Les trihalomethanes THM sont les sous produits les plus courants Les THM contiennent les quatre composes chimiques suivants Ie bromodichloromethane BDCM Ie dibromochloromethane DBCM Ie chloroforme et Ie bromoforme Existe t i1 des recommandations concernant les TAM et Ie BDCM dans I eau potable Le niveau acceptable soit la recommandation relative aux THM dans leau potable au Canada est etabli par Sante Canada en collaboration avec les provinces et les territoires La recommandation canadienne relative a la concentration totale de THM dans l eau potable est de 100 microgrammes de THM par litre d eau Jlgl Cette recommandation est fondee sur la moyenne annuelle trimestrielle d un nombre minimal de quatre echantillons une moyenne des echantillons preleves au meme endroit Le niveau acceptable du bromodichloromethane ou BDCM est etabli a 16 JlglLes mises a jour des recommandations concernant les taux des THM et du BDCM ont ete publiees par Sante Canada en mai 2006 Pour de plus amples renseignements veuillez consulter Ie document suivant Recommandations pour la Qualite de l eau potable au Canada Documentation it l appui Pourquoi la recommandation a t elle ete modifiee en 2006 La nouvelle recommandation relative au BDCM est fondee sur de nouvelles etudes publiees depuis lelaboration de la demiere recommandation sur les THM A la suite de ces nouvelles decouvertes Sante Canada a cree un groupe de travail surles sous produits de desinfection au chIore Ce groupe de travail a evalue les risques pour la sante associes aux THM et a elabore des solutions de gestion des risques Sante Canada continuera de surveiller les recherches dans ce domaine et de preconiser la modification des recommandations au besoin Quels sont les risques potentiels associes aux taux de THM dans I eau potable Les specialistes du Canada craignent que les THM y compris Ie BDCM constituent un risque dans Ie developpement du cancer Selon certaines etudes les THM pourraient avoir une une incidence nefaste sur les grossesses meme s il n y a presentement pas suffisamment de preuves pour etablir ce lien avec precision des etudes plus poussees sont cependant necessaires L exposition it des concentrations de BDCM supeneures it la recommandation a egalement ete associee it une augmentation possible du risque des effets sur la reproduction risque accru de fausse couche ou de mortinaissance au dessus des niveaux auxquels on peut s attendre nonnalement Encore une fois des etudes plus poussees sont necessaires II importe de souligner que les concentrations de BDCM it Saint John n ont pas atteint ou depasse la recommandation etablie La recommandation represente un niveau d exposition que Sante Canada juge acceptable pour toute la duree de la vie 70 ans sans risque accru pour la sante Elle tient compte des trois moyens d exposition l ingestion linhalation etlabsorption cutanee De queUe fa on les Canadiens sont ils exposes aux THM presents dans Ieau potable Les Canadiens peuvent etre exposes aux THM THM en consommant de l eau qui renfenne des composes chimiques Les douches les bains et d autres utilisations de leau peuvent egalement contribuer it l exposition individuelle totale Par exemple les THM peuvent s evaporer du robinet et etre inhales pendant la douche ou ils peuvent etre absorbes par la peau pendant Ie bain Ces voies d exposition ont ete prises en compte au moment de fonnuler la recommandation L eau qui respecte les recommandations concernant la concentration totale de THM et de BDCM est consideree comme securitaire pour toutes les utilisations domestiques y compris la consommation les bains les douches et la preparation des aliments Les femmes enceintes devraient elles prendre des precautions speciales Meme si les THM tout comme Ie BDCM peuvent avoir une incidence importante sur les issues de la grossesse plusieurs autres facteurs decisifs entrent en ligne de compte Cependant Ie ministere de la Sante du Nouveau Brunswick recommande toujours aux femmes enceintes et aux femmes qui prevoient etre enceintes de prendre connaissance des niveaux de THM et de BDCM dans leur eau et de prendre des mesures pour reduire leur consommation de ces substances Encore une fois il importe de souligner que les concentrations de BDCM a Saint John nont pas atteint ou depasse la recommandation etablie Si les niveaux de THM et de BDCM presents dans mon eau me preoccupent que puis je faire Afin de reduire ou d eliminer les THM dans l eau potable utilisez un filtre a charbon actif fixe a un pichet ou au robinet ou encore de l eau en bouteille Si vous utilisez un filtre assurez vous qu il est conforme aux normes NSF pour enlever les THM et suivez les instructions de remplacement recommandees par Ie fabricant Ces appareils lorsqu ils ne sont pas adequatement entretenus peuvent devenir source de contamination bacterienne de I eau Si vous utilisez de I eau en bouteille assurez vous que Ie fournisseur est membre de IAssociation canadienne des embouteilleurs d eau ou de la International Bottled Water Association II est egalement recommande de reduire au minimum la duree des bains et des douches dans les regions OU les niveaux deTHM et deBDCM dans l eau potable sont eleves Que dois je faire si je tire mon eau d un puits La plupart des reserves d eau de puits prives ne sont pas desinfectees L absence de desinfection au chlore signifie qu aucun THM ou BDCM ne devrait etre present Pourquoi ne pas simplement cesser la chloration de I eau potable Si nous ne procedons pas a la desinfection efficace de nos sources d eau potable les risques pour la sante poses par les micro organismes seront beaucoup plus importants que les risques associes a la presence de trihalomethanes THM et de bromodichloromethane GDCM dans leau L eau potable est desinfectee par chloration afin d eliminer les bacteries et les virus susceptibles d entrainer des maladies graves et Ie deces En fait la chIoration de leau potable apermis d eliminer presque entif rement la fievre typhoide Ie cholera et une multitude d autres maladies il s agit d une des plus importantes reussites en matiere de protection de la sante publique Deuxiemement la desinfection de leau potable est necessaire etant donne que l eau traitee quitte l usine de traitement des eaux et coule dans les conduites principales et les canalisations parfois sur une distance considerable avant d atteindre sa destination Pendant cette etape il est necessaire de maintenir un niveau residuel de desinfectant dans l eau afin de prevenir toute revivification possible de micro organismes Si nous ne procedons pas a la desinfection efficace les risques pour la sante poses par les micro organismes seront beaucoup plus importants que les risques associes a la presence de THM Les concentrations de THM subissent elles des fluctuations Les niveaux varient habituellement dans une meme source d approvisionnement en eau en fonction de la saison de la temperature de l eau de la quantite de matiere organique naturelle dans l eau du pH de la quantite de chlore utilise du temps passe dans Ie systeme de distribution d eau et de certains autres facteurs La concentration de chloroforme un des quatre composes chimiques des THM est generalement de deux atrois fois plus elevee en ete qu en hiver Quelles demarches sont entreprises aftn de reduire la concentration des THM dans Ieau potable municipale The City of Saint John collabore avec Ie ministere de la Sante et Ie ministere de lEnvironnement du Nouveau Brunswick afin de surveiller les niveaux de THM pour s assurer qu ils respectent la recommandation etablie a 100 Jlgl A l heure actuelle The City ofSaint John recueille des donnees a laide d etudes d analyses de donnees et de la determination d options de reduction des THM comme volet d un plan d action relatif aux THM En outre The City of Saint John examine a lheure actuelle des concepts preliminaires pour de nouvelles installations de traitement des eaux Selon la nouvelle technologie relative au traitement des eaux une partie importante de la matiere organique peut etre extraite avant la desinfection donc les niveaux de sous produits sont reduits tandis que la concentration de desinfectant demeure suffisante pour eliminer les micro organismes Quels sont les autres desinfectants Les chloramines Ie dioxyde de chIore lozone les rayons ultraviolets entre autres sont des desinfectants Chacun de ces desinfectants comporte des avantages et des desavantages en matiere d entretien et d entreposage de formation de sous produits de desinfection et de couts Cependant suivant la desinfection initiale a l usine de traitement lutilisation d un melange queiconque de chlore est toujours essentielle afin de maintenir la concentration residuelle exigee dans Ie reseau de distribution d eau pour assurer une eau potable saine du point de vue microbiologie Comment puis je obtenir de I information sur la qualite de mon eau potable Si vous etes desservi par Ie reseau d aqueduc municipal de Saint John vous pouvez communiquer avec Ie personnel du reseau au 658 4455 Comment puis je faire analyser mon eau potable pour detecter la presence de TOM Les personnes utilisant Ie reseau municipal d approvisionnement en eau nont pas a faire analyser leur eau puisque The City of Saint John surveille regulierement la qualite de l eau Ces analyses ont lieu au laboratoire Caduceon Environmental Laboratories Si vous utilisez un puits prive sans ajout de chIore dans leau il ne devrait pas etre necessaire d analyser l eau pour detecter la presence de THM Cependant si vous desirez faire analyser votre eau veuillez communiquer avec un des laboratoires suivants qui effectuent l analyse chimique de l eau afin d obtenir la bouteille adequate a utiliser et de connaitre la maniere de prelever un echantillon d eau Nom du laboratoire Saint John laboratory Services Ltd Adresse 1216 chemin Sand Cove Saint John Nouveau Brunswick E2M 5V8 Personne ressource Dr Apollos Ikejiani
