1 The Wetland Biofilter System: A vertical flow constructed wetland for treatment of manure compost pile leachate water

2 What is the Wetland Biofilter System? Vertical flow constructed wetland Consists of two or more cells in series Each cell: lined with PVC liner filled with root-bed media planted with cattail plants (Typha sp.)

3

4

5 Currently used for treating: Domestic sanitary sewage (26) Winery wash water (7) Greenhouse leachate (2) Landfill leachate (4) Abattoir wastewater (2) Mushroom farm leachate (3) Bakery process water (1) Liquid swine manure (1 pilot project)

6 Wastewater discharge: Regulated by the Ontario Ministry of Environment via the Ontario Water Resources Act MOE issues a Certificate of Approval that regulates quantity and quality of wastewater discharge

7 MOE Certificate of Approval: Required for all systems > 10,000 L/day Surface or groundwater discharge Generally no approval is required if there is no discharge to the environment

8 Treatment of Mushroom Farm Leachate Water Compost consists of: clean straw horse bedding material (straw & horse manure) chicken manure

9 Manure pile leachate water

10 The system: To Wetland Biofilter flow balancing pond Treated water re-use or discharge Compost pad

11 1. excavation 4' deep with sloped walls

12 2. 30 mill PVC liner installed

13 3. drain pipe and pump tank installed

14 4. filling with gravel

15 5. cell filling continues

16 6. grading of sand layer

17 7. winter manifolds installed on top of sand

18 8. covering winter manifolds with gravel

19 9. summer manifolds on surface, cattails to be planted

20 10. manifolds flooding

21 11. Cattails planted

22 12. First winter

23 13. Late summer

24 14. Spring

25

26 Important wastewater parameters: BOD5 = Biochemical Oxygen Demand The amount of organic matter in water TSS = Total Suspended Solids The amount of visible solid material floating in water Nitrogen Phosphorous

27 Performance data, Rol-land Farms Limited, Blenheim, Sept. 3, 2003 to Dec. 30, 2004 Parameter (mg/l) Wetland influent (n =13) wetland effluent (n = 13) total % reduction BOD TSS phosphorus TKN ammonia nitrate N/A E.coli (cfu/100 ml) Colour

28 Operation & maintenance: 10,000 gal / day requires one 3 cell system, each cell 30 X 30 Maintenance requirements: " check pumps weekly " change manifolds to winter & summer as required " requires 1 hr/week Operational costs: " 52 hrs/year " plus electrical costs to power pumps power usage = (115 V) (10.0 A) (8.0 hrs/day) 1000 W/kW = 9.2 kwh/day 9.2 kwh/day X 3 pumps = 27.6 kwh/day ~ $0.13/kWh = $3.58/day

29 Capital costs of construction: Dependant on size $ / litre for large systems $4-5 / litre for small systems Other considerations: Site access Access to material inputs i.e. concrete sand

30 The End

31 The Certificate of Approval Process: Pre-submission Consultation Meeting Preparation of Application Documents MOE review Construction Maintenance & monitoring

32 Pre-submission Consultation Meeting Meeting between: local MOE, technical support staff Proponent Consultant Proposal is presented MOE input concerns etc. Proposal may be altered to reflect MOE concerns

33 Preparation of Application Documents Design brief Design drawings Surface water impact assessment Groundwater impact assessment Maintenance & monitoring proposal

34 The review process: Environmental Assessment and Approvals Branch Engineering review Technical support: Impact assessments (ground water, surface water) Establish discharge objectives and/or limits Local MOE input Operation & monitoring Reporting requirements

35 The Final Certificate of Approval: Enforceable agreement between the owner & MOE Provides terms & conditions for: operation maintenance Sampling reporting
