The proposed operation will involve up to 20 times as many trucks as the proposal that was turned down by the Biosolids Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Highland Creek Treatment Plant, and includes 2 anaerobic digesters, 11 natural gas boilers, one open air storage facility, and other waste processing and storage facilities.
The City of Toronto currently collects 150,000 tonnes per year of residential and commercial green-bin organics which are processed at its Dufferin and Disco Road Plants. The Coronation Plant proposes to process up to 900,000 Tons of wet rotting waste annually – 6 times as much as the entire City of Toronto.
The plant will emit at least 6 toxic and greenhouse gases including NOx, CH4, CO2, SO2, TRS (Total Reduced Sulphur) and particulates. All these add to current ambient air pollutants, in some cases significantly exceeding the allowable limits (particulates and CO2).
