Proposal details

This proposal is for an amendment to Environmental Compliance Approval (industrial sewage) No. 9565-BWHK7Z for Jungbunzlauer Canada Inc., located at 1555 Elm Street, City of Port Colborne, Regional Municipality of Niagara.

The proposal is for an amendment to Environmental Compliance Approval (industrial sewage) No. 9565-BWHK7Z for sewage works serving the citric acid production facility (JBL Citric Plant) and the corn-derived glucose manufacturing facility (JBL Glucose Plant), located at 1555 Elm Street, in the City of Port Colborne, Regional Municipality of Niagara.

The previously approved sewage works were designed for the collection, transmission, treatment, and disposal of process wastewater and once-through non-contact cooling water from the JBL Citric and JBL Glucose Plants and stormwater runoff at the JBL Glucose Plant site.

The proposed amendment is for the addition of a sixth aeration basin with the following specifications:

  • working volume of 5,000 cubic meters
  • 10 brush aerators of 45 kilowatts each
  • 4 submerged aerators of 50 kilowatts each
  • an increase to the treated process water discharge from the JBL Citric and JBL Glucose Plants from the existing maximum discharge rate of 24,000 cubic meters per day to 35,000 cubic meters per day

The combined discharge of once-through non-contact cooling and treated process water will not change under this amendment.
