This proposal is to amend Environmental Compliance Approval (waste disposal site) number 7577-4XGL5P for QM GP Inc. as general partner for and on behalf of TWT LP for a transfer and/or processing station, including outside storage facility for recyclable materials limited to wood waste, shingles, metal and cardboard; to be used for the transfer and or processing of the following types of waste: solid non-hazardous municipal waste.

The facility is seeking to add an approximately 2,200 square metres footprint liquid soil processing facility consisting of:

• a screen and dump-pit,
• liquid holding tanks,
• centrifuge,
• conveyors and soil sorting and stockpile storage bins

Soil stockpiles will be maximum 3 metres tall, with a maximum storage of 2,000 cubic metres at any given time. Soil received at the site will be sent off-site for beneficial reuse purposes and/or disposal, depending upon quality. The total amount of solid non-hazardous municipal waste will not exceed 500 metric tonnes per day and no more than 500 metric tonnes to be stored on site at any time and the volume of recyclable materials resulting from waste processing will not exceed 200 metric tonnes at any time. The total amount of soil will not exceed an average of 150 cubic metres per day and capped at a daily maximum of 300 cubic metres (36,000 cubic metres annually). There will be no more than 2,000 cubic metres to be stored on site at any time.

The site services the Province of Ontario and receives solid non-hazardous municipal wastes and liquid soil from 6 am to 8 pm Monday through Saturday. Operations can occur 24 hours, 7 days per week. The site is located at 735 Strathearne Avenue North, City of Hamilton, Ontario.
