Effets de la consultation

1. General concerns were raised about the management of hazardous waste in a neighbourhood that includes homes, a park, schools, and a shopping district.

Response: We rely on municipal zoning to determine the suitability of citing certain waste management facilities. The Terrapure operation is permitted on the 52 Imperial Street property as per City Zoning By-laws.

2. Concerns were raised that granting this approval would lead to further stressing pollution in the area.

Response: The application does not request increases to the site's receiving, processing, storage or shipping rates. There are no emissions to the natural environment or increase in truck traffic expected as a result of allowing additional waste classes to be processed.

3. Concerns were raised regarding the performance of Terrapure and their level of care and concern within the community given the company's emissions release incident in 2016, including the company's ability to appropriately manage hazardous waste and any additional hazardous waste classes.

Response: Terrapure accepted responsibility for the incidents and 2016 and has since made a number of changes and improvements to their staff, operations and procedures.This followed an assessment of the facility conducted by a third-party engineering and consulting firm. The ministry will continue to inspect the facility to monitor compliance with the Environmental Compliance Approval, the EPA and its regulations and to ensure the site is being operated in an environmentally responsible manner.

4. Concerns were raised regarding noise levels for the hammer mill used to shred incoming waste batteries.

Response: The equipment proposed will be housed indoors within the confines of the larger processing building. The company has conducted a noise assessment for its staff only. Noise from this unit is not expected to be an issue for any residential receptors but the ministry has the ability to monitor any complaints received and respond should action be warranted.

5. Concerns were raised over the processing of waste for disposal at the Terrapure Stoney Creek industrial landfill.

Response: We will continue to monitor the Terrapure Stoney Creek landfill to ensure compliance with service area and fill rate conditions of their approval.

6. Concerns were raised with the level of financial assurance for the site.

Response: Financial assurance is due for re-evaluation in March of 2020. No increase to financial assurance has been imposed at this time as no increase to site storage capacity is being requested. We are currently satisfied with the amount being held in financial assurance.
