1 Agricultural Waste Management Safe Waste Disposal from the Farm What is the Issue? What are the options? What can WE do?
2 Agricultural Waste Typical Farm Waste Household and shop waste Waste is Waste regardless of the source Proper disposal in a regulated facility is ideal Waste in the Agricultural Setting, is governed under the Environmental Management and Protections Act, 2010 (EMPA 2010) General Regulation.
3 EMPA (General) Regulations Permits are required to dispose of waste (n) any facility that permanently disposes of solid waste or industrial waste by placing it above or below ground; (o) any facility that temporarily stores solid waste; (p) any facility that disposes of hazardous waste.
4 EMPA (General) Regulations No permit is required for: (d) the disposal of household waste if: (i) the household waste is generated by an individual who is a member of the household; and (ii) the household waste is disposed of on land that is owned or leased by an individual who is a member of the household and on which the household waste is generated; providing:
5 EMPA 2010 section 49. the disposal is not prohibited by any municipal bylaw enacted by the municipality in which the land is located or by any other Act or law.
6 Farm Household Waste - Options? Ideal: Haul waste directly to nearest permitted waste facility
7 Farm Household Waste - Options? Convenience: Contract with a waste/recycling hauling company
8 Farm Household Waste - Options? Least preferred: Dispose of on the land it was generated on.
9 Why You Might Not Want to Do This! Risk of Migration Off Land Government wont get you but the Bank will! (Environmental Assessment upon sale)
10 Disposal on Private Land ORDER WAS ISSUED FOR FULL CLEAN UP THIS IS NOT LITTERING, BUT IT IS ILLEGAL
11 What About Burning Waste?
12 EMPA (General) Regulations Industrial activity Air Quality 13 For the purposes of clause 51(d) of the Act, the burning of any of the following substances constitutes an industrial activity: (a) waste or spent lubricating oil; (b) hazardous substances; (c) hazardous wastes; (d) motor vehicle tires; (e) animal carcasses; (f) railway ties and other wood treated with wood preservatives; (g) waste materials from building or construction sites; (h) trash, garbage or other waste from commercial, industrial or municipal operations; (i) materials containing rubber or plastic; (j) spilled oil or oil production by-products; (k) materials disposed of as part of reclamation operations; (l) animal manure.
13 EMPA (General) Regulations Permit required Air Quality 14(1) A person who intends to engage, or who engages, in an industrial activity is required to obtain a permit. (2) The minister may impose any terms and conditions on the permit mentioned in subsection (1) that the minister considers appropriate

15 What About Burning Farm Waste? The Burn Barrel
16 Regulations about Burning Waste EMPA Prohibition on discharges 8(1) No person shall discharge or allow the discharge of a substance into the environment in an amount, concentration or level or at a rate of release that may cause or is causing an adverse effect unless otherwise expressly authorized pursuant to: (a) this Act or the regulations; (b) any other Act, Act of the Parliament of Canada or the regulations made pursuant to any other Act or Act of the Parliament of Canada; (c) any approval, permit, licence or order issued or made pursuant to: (i) this Act or the regulations; or (ii) any other Act, Act of the Parliament of Canada or the regulations made pursuant to any other Act or Act of the Parliament of Canada; (d) the code; or (e) an accepted environmental protection plan.
17 Fact Sheet on Burning Waste under development
18 Its what s in the bin that matters!
19 What is emitted? Complex mixture of air pollutants from which there is some probability of harm at any level of exposure. arsenic Black Carbon (soot) carbon monoxide hydrochloric acid nitrogen oxides PCDFs (furans) PM2.5 mercury benzo[a]apyrene lead PCDDs (dioxins) volatile organic compounds ash
20 Health Effects Wood Waste Who is effected? - Young children, older adults, those with existing cardiovascular and respiratory conditions or vascular complications from diabetes Long term exposure - Reduced lung function, asthma, bronchitis, heart problems and premature mortality Short term exposure - Acute bronchitis, asthma attacks, lung disease and susceptibility to respiratory infections
21 Health Effects - Plastics Dioxins and Furans - Cancer - Liver problems - Impairment of the immune system, endocrine system and the reproductive system - Effects on systems of the young
22 Buyer Beware Expensive Burn Barrel Doesn t make it legal
23 Operation of an Incinerator Proponent Self-Assessment - Is it a development? Air Quality Standards Testing - Must meet Canada wide standards (dioxins, furans, mercury) Residual Ash Testing - Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure TCLP (where can the ash go?) Environmental Protection Plans - Qualified Person
24 Environmental Impacts Air Pollutants and Land Residue Crops Areas where animals graze and live Lakes and Rivers Ecosystem Impacts

28 Burning of Grain Bags Voluntary Clean-up Environmental Protection Orders Minimum Clean-up/Remediation Costs $3-5,000 more cost effective to transport for recycling Costs can escalate to $20-25,000 Possible charges, prosecutions
29 Grain Bags Future Regulated Program? Agricultural Plastics Pilot Pilot Project running since 2011 between SimplyAg and the Ministry of Agriculture More information and Site map at: Work continues on a possible regulation; hope to have a program in place in 2018
30 All farm tires are part of the provincial Stewardship Program run by Saskatchewan Scrap Tire Corporation(SSTC) SSTC offers their Black Gold Program for private stockpiles as well as return to retailer Additional tire information at: scraptire.sk.ca Farm Tires
31 All used automotive oil is part of the provincial Stewardship Program run by Saskatchewan Association for Resource Recovery Corporation (SARRC) SARRC offers collection return incentives for bulk collection. Additional used oil information at: Farm Used Oil
32 Agriculture s Role? Shared Education and Awareness Assist with education of land owners Education is a key component to reducing the amount of non-compliance Do land owners know these are illegal activities? Strengthening Partnerships with Stakeholders Environmental Farm Plans Can any of these activities be incorporated? Carrot River Watershed Agri-Environmental Group Plan
33 Environment s Role Conservations Officers do investigate burning issues and unauthorized dumping and consult with Environmental Protection Officers Environmental Protection Orders May result in further charges/court Fines(littering) Fines (Burning) $500 individual - $?? $1000 corporation Alternative measures
