EcoVac Solutions Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)

This proposal is to amend Environmental Compliance Approval (Waste Disposal Site) Number 3168-BH9JQY for EcoVac Solutions Ltd.’s liquid soils processing and transfer facility used for the recovery of soil and water from low-risk hydro-excavation activities for beneficial reuse.

The facility is seeking to amend its outdoor storage of recovered soils (stone, sand and clay) to allow for the maximum uncovered storage of 700 cubic metres of reclaimed soils (stone, sand, and clay) in accordance with the “Rules for Soil Management and Excess Soil Quality Standards,” made under O. Reg. 206/19 On-Site and Excess Soil Management. Further, the proposed amendment is seeking to include the collection of on-site stormwater from the yard and uncovered stockpiles and transfer it to the facility’s liquid soils processing system for treatment prior to reuse. Lastly, the proposed amendment is to allow for the treatment and on-site transfer of recovered water to third-parties for use in their hydro-excavation equipment. No change is proposed to the liquid soils’ recovery process or processing equipment.

There are no proposed changes to the site’s receiving and shipping. Receiving and shipping may take place between 5:30 am to 9:00 pm, Monday to Saturday. On site processing (no receipt or shipping of materials) at facility may occur 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.

The site services the Province of Ontario.
