Proposal details

2667804 Ontario Inc., operating as Recycle City, is applying for an amendment and consolidation of Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) Nos. 3197-7UDHRT and 9140-86WPW9. The proposal includes the following:

  1. a new waste disposal site ( waste processing ) to receive and recycle hydrovac materials.
    • The recycling plant will separate and dewater soils (clays, silts), sands, and aggregate for reuse as construction materials. The proposed hydrovac materials recycling plant will be located on a 7.357 hectare industrial site at 899 Nebo Road in Hamilton, Ontario. Recycle City currently operates hazardous waste storage and solid non-hazardous waste transfer facilities under separate ECAs.
    • Hydrovac materials will be received from construction projects within Ontario. The receiving of hydrovac materials and the operation of the plant will be in accordance with the conditions and standards set-out in Ontario Regulation 406/19 “Onsite and Excess Soil Management Regulation". Soil washing residual soils ( clay/silt ) materials will be used as fill material if it meets Ministry standards for commercial/industrial land use.
    • The daily maximum hydrovac material volumes would be 1,000 tonnes . Soil materials generated by the process will contain coarse soils (sands, aggregate, stone) to fine soils (clay, silt). Maximum soil storage volumes for clean soils will be 4,000 tonnes. All soil materials being stored and transfer will be stockpiled within storage bunkers that are enclosed within a roofed structure to prevent surface water impacts or dust generation.
    • The soil washing plant will operate out-of-doors. The hours of operation will follow current waste management facilities hours of Monday to Friday 7 am to 6 pm and Saturday 8 am to 5 pm. All wash water used will be recycled within the process and will not be discharge to surface water bodies onsite or discharged offsite.
  2. increase the daily maximum volume of solid, non-hazardous waste from residential commercial, industrial and construction and demolition sources at the waste transfer facility from 299 tonnes to 1,000 tonnes with the maximum storage volume remaining at 600 tonnes.
  3. update the service area to allow for the approval of a waste transfer station for hazardous and liquid waste that is generated across Ontario. There will be no increase in the volume of 13.53 cubic metres or addition of new waste classes.
