NRK Holdings Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)

This proposal is to amend Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) number 6332-A2GNRY for the use and operation of a non-hazardous excess soil waste disposal site (processing and transfer) with an operating area of 8.5 hectares. The site is located at 7406 Concession Road B-C, Ramara Township, Ontario (the “site”).

The amendment request includes the following key changes:

• increase in processing capacity from currently 3,000 tonnes per day (daily maximum) to 6,000 tonnes per day of excess soil, including liquid excess soil
• increase in on-site storage capacity from 67,000 tonnes to 110,88 tonnes of excess soil at any time
• expansion of the service area from Ontario only to all of Canada
• revised hours of operation to from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, 6:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday (312 days per year), while maintaining the ability to accept emergency generated waste 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, unless restricted by municipal by-laws.

Soil received at the site will be screened, dewatered, sorted, and treated using biological processes. Treated soil that meets standards will be reused. Soil that cannot be treated will be send to an approved disposal facility. All excess soil brought to the site is categorized as non-hazardous.
