Aqua-Clean Environmental Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)

This proposal is for a Environmental Compliance Approval (waste disposal site) for Aqua-Clean Environmental Inc. for the use and operation of a liquid soil waste processing site, with a site area of of 0.75 hectares. The liquid soil management will be situated at the back of Thunderbolt Contracting’s site, located at 3155 Carp Road in Carp, Ottawa, Ontario

The facility will receive liquid soil slurry from hydro-vac vehicles from multiple sites within Ontario. The goal of the operation is to recycle and extract the valuable materials that can be used from liquid soils. The slurry (liquid soils) is washed and screened using a Flow Environmental Eddy Water Recovery System (flow eddy) instrument which separates the material into large aggregate, fine aggregate, soil, and water.

The maximum receiving rate limit will be 60 cubic metres per hour (during operation hours), or 720 cubic metres per day. The processed materials will be stored in bins (sea containers or similar), near the equipment until sampled and then either exported or temporarily stored on-site.

Residual soil which does not meet re-use criteria is transported and disposed of at a licensed/permitted off-site treatment or disposal facility. Separated water is re-used within the processing equipment as well as within hydro-vac vehicles for future hydro-excavation activities.

Receiving, processing, and shipping activities may take place between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. The site also occasionally provides emergency hydro-vac services outside typical operating hours (e.g., after hours and weekends).
