10 Comparative Evaluation - Evaluation Conclusions Environmental Component Archaeology & Cultural Heritage Atmospheric Aboriginal Biology (Terrestrial & Aquatic Environment) Geology & Hydrogeology Land Use Site Design & Operations Surface Water Resources Evaluation Conclusion Options #2 and #3 are most preferred as they result in minimal effects on Cultural Landscape Units and Built Heritage Features. Option #3 is most preferred as it has the lowest potential effect on off-site receptors relating to odour, landfill gas, combustion, and noise emissions. There is no distinction between the options as there are no current Aboriginal land claims related to any of the options. Options #2 and #3 are most preferred as they result in the least amount of vegetation being removed; the least amount of wildlife habitat disturbed; and there are no permanent or intermittent streams flowing through them. There is no distinction between the options as there are no off-site groundwater receptors predicted to be affected by any of the options in terms of groundwater flow or quality, given proposed mitigation measures and use of Ontario Regulation 232/98 - Generic Design Option II liner system. Options #2 and #3 are most preferred as changes to current land uses are minimized. Option #2 is most preferred as it offers highest level of operational flexibility and ease of implementation. Option #2 is most preferred as it has the lowest net effect on surface water quality and quantity. Economic Social Option #2 is most preferred as it provides the highest ratio of airspace to total soil excavated. Options #2 and #3 are most preferred as they have the fewest number of residences and recreational facilities within 500 m and the least predicted net effects from a visual perspective. There is no distinction between the options as they have the Transportation same net effects on airport operations and positive net effects Development of Terms of on Reference predicted for truck an transport along access roads. 34

11 Comparative Evaluation - Preferred Option #2 The comparative evaluation of the footprint options was completed using a Reasoned Argument or Trade-off method. This method is based on the following two activities: Identify the predicted level of effect ( No Net Effect, Low Net Effect, Moderate Net Effect or High Net Effect ) associated with each alternative for each indicator; and, Rank each alternative from most preferred to least preferred based on the predicted level of effect at the criteria and environmental component level in order to determine an overall ranking for each alternative. Option #2 was determined to be the most preferred option based on the following attributes: It has the lowest predicted net effects on Archaeological & Cultural Heritage; It has the lowest predicted net effect on Biology (Terrestrial & Aquatic environment); It has the lowest predicted net effect on Land Use; It has the lowest predicted net effect on Site Design and Operations; It has the lowest predicted net effect on Surface Water; and It has the lowest predicted net effect on Socio-Economic. While Option #2 is the most preferred option, it should be noted that there are no off-site groundwater receptors predicted to be affected by any of the options in terms of groundwater flow or quality. While Option #2 is the most preferred option, it should be noted that there are no predicted exceedences for any of the options in relation to odour, landfill gas, and combustion emissions. 35

12 Leachate Treatment Options Leachate Treatment Options WMCC amended the ToR to include an assessment and evaluation of alternative methods for treating and disposing of leachate generated from the new landfill footprint as part of the EA. Five Leachate Treatment Alternatives were identified by WMCC for assessment, based upon the company s operating experience at other landfill sites across North America. Leachate Treatment Characteristics The new landfill footprint will be designed with the Generic II Double Liner system, as specified in Ontario Regulation 232/98. This consists of (from top down): 0.3 m thick granular/perforated pipe primary leachate collection system; 0.75 m thick geomembrane/engineered clay primary liner; 0.3 m thick granular/perforated pipe secondary leachate collection system; 0.75 m thick geomembrane/engineered clay secondary liner; 1 m thick natural or constructed soil attenuation layer. Leachate collected from within the lined landfill will be pumped from the primary drainage/leachate collection system. The potential location and size of leachate pumping station(s) required will be identified as part of the conceptual design for the preferred landfill footprint. Leachate will then be directed to pretreatment and/or treatment facilities in a manner dependent on the preferred leachate treatment alternative. The volume of leachate to be managed will vary over the operational and post-closure period of the landfill and is influenced by factors including precipitation, degree of landfill development (e.g., area of landfill that is actively undergoing development versus areas where final cover has been placed), final cover design and cover installation progress, and other factors. 36

13 Leachate Treatment Option #1 On-site Tree Irrigation This alternative would involve irrigation of trees (typically poplar and/or willow) in order to dispose of the leachate. May require partial or full on-site treatment using chemical and/or biological processes to treat the leachate prior to irrigation. Treated leachate will be stored in a pond and then discharged to a tree plantation during days with suitable weather conditions. No liquid effluent would leave the WCEC site. 37

14 Leachate Treatment Option #2 On-site Leachate Evaporation This alternative would involve use of evaporator technology to dispose of leachate. Leachate from the landfill would be pumped to an equalization tank that will provide storage to handle peaks in leachate generation. Leachate would then be fed to the evaporator for processing. The evaporator system may utilize landfill gas as the energy source to evaporate the leachate or waste heat from the landfill gas cogeneration facility. Depending upon the strength of the leachate and the resulting air quality emissions, the leachate may have to be pretreated using a chemical and/or biological process prior to evaporation. These units have been widely used in the U.S. for a number of years for leachate disposal. 38

15 Leachate Treatment Option #3 Off-site Effluent Discharge to Surface Water This alternative would involve disposal of fully treated leachate by discharging it to a nearby surface watercourse. Collected leachate would be treated on-site using chemical and/or biological processes to meet Provincial Water Quality Objectives followed by storage of the treated effluent. Stored effluent would then be discharged to a surface watercourse. The nearest surface watercourse is the southern branch of the Huntley Creek which drains to the Carp River. 39

16 Leachate Treatment Option #4 Off-site Effluent Discharge to Ottawa Sanitary Sewer This alternative would involve disposal of leachate through discharging it to the City of Ottawa sanitary sewer system. Collected leachate may require pretreatment on-site using either chemical and/or biological processes in order to meet the City s sewer use bylaw. Leachate effluent would then be discharged to an existing forcemain at Carp Road and Highway 417. Effluent would be further treated at the City s Robert O. Pickard Environmental Centre (ROPEC) facility. 40

17 Leachate Treatment Option #5 Truck Haulage Off-site to Alternative Wastewater Treatment Plant This alternative would involve trucking of the leachate to one or more wastewater treatment plants outside Ottawa for disposal. Collected leachate may require pretreatment using chemical and/or biological processes if required to meet the quality parameters of the receiving wastewater treatment plant(s). Potential options for receiving the leachate in the surrounding area are not currently known. 41

18 Leachate Treatment Options Evaluation Methodology Criteria and indicators under the following environmental components are proposed in order to comparatively evaluate the leachate treatment alternatives: Atmospheric Environment Geology and Hydrogeology Surface Water Resources Biology Transportation Land Use Social Site Design and Operations Evaluation Criteria Evaluation Methodology The comparative evaluation of leachate treatment alternatives will be completed using a Reasoned Argument or Trade-off method. This method is based on the following two activities: Identify the predicted level of effect ( No Net Effect, Low Net Effect, Moderate Net Effect or High Net Effect ) associated with each alternative for each indicator; and, Rank each alternative from most preferred to least preferred based on the predicted level of effect at the criteria and environmental component level in order to determine an overall ranking for each alternative. 42

19 Next Steps Workshop #3 A future Workshop #3 is planned for November 23 rd, 2011 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Carp Agricultural Hall (3790 Carp Road, Carp).
