Proposal details

This proposal is for the renewal of the Limited Operational Flexibility for an Environmental Compliance Approval (air & noise) No. 1631-A2ELCQ for Convertus Canada Ltd., an aerobic composting operation that processes source separated organics (SSO), such as kitchen waste, and leaf and yard wastes into Non-Agricultural Source Material (NASM) located in the City of Ottawa, Ontario.

The emission sources from the processing and associated processes that discharge to the air include ammonia scrubbers; biofilter and shredder. Emissions to the air from this facility include:

  • nitrogen oxides
  • sulphur oxides
  • carbon monoxide
  • ammonia; and
  • particulate matter

The Environmental Compliance Approval with Limited Operational Flexibility (air), when issued, permits modifications to the facility subject to limits on operational flexibility that include a production limit for the facility to be specified on the Environmental Compliance Approval with Limited Operational Flexibility (air). The Limited Operational Flexibility conditions have an expiry date. The company will be required to make an application for amendment at that time to renew these conditions.
