From Emission Summary table# 4<\/p>\n

All the following report is from the Application to the Ministry Of Environment EMMISSION SUMMARY AND DISPERSION modeling report dated February 2010\u00a0\u00a0 Ref.no.046254 (3)<\/span><\/p>\n

Contaminant odours<\/p>\n

Emission Rate 1 Odour unit\u00a0 at MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRO<\/span>NMENT point of impingement limit (Is the Point that the MOE choo<\/span>ses as the most likely point where\u00a0a resident will be most affected by odours.)<\/p>\n

Total reduced sulphur is expected to be very high and is widely dependent on the incoming organic material.<\/p>\n

Old incoming material, e.g. manure, would have high\u00a0total reduced sulphur (very odorous)\u00a0and in return have high impact on what is discharged by the bio-filter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Material that is not suitable for processing is sorted and dumped into a bin.<\/p>\n

This may be odorous and is expected to be odorous. This must be taken off the property as soon as possible, at least within 3 days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The surface water management will use recycled water or fresh municipal water to balance the water losses.<\/p>\n

There<\/strong> <\/strong>is<\/strong> <\/strong>no<\/strong> <\/strong>doubt<\/strong> <\/strong>that<\/strong> <\/strong>water<\/strong> <\/strong>is<\/strong> <\/strong>required<\/strong> <\/strong>for<\/strong> <\/strong>this<\/strong> <\/strong>process.<\/strong> <\/strong>The<\/strong> <\/strong>question<\/strong> <\/strong>is,<\/strong> <\/strong>where<\/strong> <\/strong>does<\/strong> <\/strong>this<\/strong> <\/strong>water<\/strong> <\/strong>come<\/strong> <\/strong>from?<\/strong> <\/strong>Municipal<\/strong> <\/strong>or<\/strong> <\/strong>offsite,<\/strong> <\/strong>and<\/strong> <\/strong>how<\/strong> <\/strong>much<\/strong> <\/strong>is<\/strong> <\/strong>anticipated?<\/strong> <\/strong>This<\/strong> <\/strong>was<\/strong> <\/strong>proposed<\/strong> <\/strong>originally<\/strong> <\/strong>as<\/strong> <\/strong>a<\/strong> <\/strong>dry<\/strong> <\/strong>process.<\/strong> <\/strong>Is<\/strong> <\/strong>this<\/strong> <\/strong>no<\/strong> <\/strong>longer<\/strong> <\/strong>possible?<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

The EMISSION SUMMARY AND DISPERSION MODELLING REPORT was prepared in accordance with MOE REGULATION 419\/05. The emission rates are all estimates. Odour was modeled in Aermod.\u00a0(A METHOD OF EVALUATING ODOUR)\u00a0 The report demonstrates that the facility can operate in compliance with Reg. 419\/05.<\/p>\n

On figure 3A of the Emissions Summary it is very important that all solids recovery\u00a0 trucks are covered\u00a0 and sealed to prevent odours from escaping.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Table 2<\/p>\n

Source Summary Table<\/p>\n

Stack diameter is .54M and 20M high and 13.4M above the building.<\/p>\n

This height should be at least two times the proposed height. Neighbouring properties are in line with the proposed height. It is expected that odours will be significant from this operation and not only\u00a0from the bio-filter stack. Stack Flow rate of 5.56 M3\/second should be increased.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Table A-3<\/p>\n

Emissions from bio-filter\u00a0(total reduced sulphur) shown as not applicable. Odours are shown as not applicable.<\/p>\n

There\u00a0are odours from a bio-filter and they should be noted as a major contributor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CRA Memorandum page 3<\/p>\n

The bio-filter stack was identified as the only significant source or odour emission at the proposed facility.<\/p>\n

Truck traffic of uncovered trucks, opening and closing of doors, and open tanks at the property, will all add to the total odour emissions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This plant should be moved away from Elmira town limits and onto a farm. This would save a lot of resident opposition to the proposal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The property overall is small. As we can foresee, many trucks could be on the property at the same time. Is there room?<\/strong><\/p>\n
