The information in these data sets or reports has been prepared for the sole benefit of the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM). HRM provides this data “as is”, and makes no warranty as to accuracy or suitability of the data for any specific purpose.

Any use that a third party makes of this data and/or report, or any reliance on decisions made based on it, are the responsibility of such third parties. HRM, and HRM's consultants Jacques Whitford - Stantec Limited and AMEC Ltd., accept no responsibility for damages, if any, suffered by any third party as a result of decisions made, or actions taken, based on this data and/or report.

The information and conclusions contained in this data and/or report are based upon work undertaken by trained professional and technical staff in accordance with generally accepted engineering and scientific practices current at the time the work was performed. Conclusions and recommendations presented in this data and/or report should not be construed as legal advice. The conclusions presented in this report represent the best technical judgement of Jacques Whitford - Stantec Limited and AMEC Ltd. based on the data obtained from the work. The conclusions are based on the site conditions observed by Jacques Whitford - Stantec Limited and AMEC Ltd. at the time the work was performed at the specific testing and/or sampling locations, and can only be extrapolated to an undefined limited area around these locations.

The extent of the limited area depends on the surface water conditions, as well as the history of the harbour reflecting natural, construction and other activities. In addition, analyses have been carried out for a limited number of chemical parameters, and it should not be inferred that other chemical species are not present. Due to the nature of the investigation and the limited data available, HRM, Jacques Whitford - Stantec Limited and AMEC Ltd. cannot warrant against undiscovered environmental liabilities.
