The Site Assessment assignment will just be for two of the sites that we visited. Each site assessment report will be worth 15% of your overall mark or 30% total for the assignment. Please pass in (or email) a complete site assessment package for each of the following sites:
Instructions
- For Earnscliffe: submit your (1) test pit log and all permeability forms that you completed.
- For the Lower Montague site: submit 2 test pit logs and all permeability forms that you completed.
- Treat each of these locations as a separate site assessment with a complete set of standard submission documents. A copy of the government submission documents can be found here: https://www.engtech.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Site-Suitability-Assessment-Standard-Submission-Documents-2022.pdf
- Each Site Suitability Assessment submission should include the following documents:
- Registration Form – Site Suitability Assessment (included in the PDF file above). Make sure to indicate the soil/lot category at each test pit location.
- Test Pit Record – please submit either a typed copy or a neatly handwritten copy. You can use either ETC’s test pit record, or the government’s Form A (included in the PDF file above).
- Permeability detailed test data sheets – please submit either a typed copy or a neatly handwritten copy.
- A new map that YOU obtained from the Site Assessor App showing the property boundaries, soil mapping, contours, rivers & streams layer (if any). Indicate the approximate location of your test pit on the map.
- A Site Plan or Google Map with a north arrow showing the test pit location. Note: for a septic system registered document submission you need to submit a Site Plan showing the location of the proposed septic system and house/building. But if you are just submitting a Site Suitability Assessment registration then you can just use the Soil Map as your Site Plan.
- Assume the assessment was done for the purpose of lot categorization only (not for an on-site sewage disposal permit), and the size of the dwelling (number of bedrooms) is not known at this time. Therefore, you should fill out the Registration Form, Section A for Site Suitability Assessment but you DO NOT need to fill in Section B – Sewage Disposal System Information or provide any information about the septic system for the assignment.
- If there is any information that you don’t have for the Registration Form such as property owner name, license #, case #, development permit #, etc., just make it up. e.g. John Doe, license #1234567, case #1234567, etc.
Handing In Your Assignment
You may hand in a hard copy on the morning of the exam or deliver it to Kelly’s office in the Stratford Business Park (Google Map) before 5pm on exam day. You can also email me your assignment or send links to your files (in one email please) by 5pm on exam day if you prefer. Email or share files with kelly@engtech.ca
If you are emailing your assignment, make sure you put your full name in any file names. Also, I would prefer that you send just one or two emails with the entire package with all the documents for the sites, to avoid me having to hunt around and piece together your assignment from several different emails! PDF file(s) with just the pages that apply (no extra pages) would be appreciated!
