7 5.1 To: From: Brandon Ho, Senior Project Engineer, Solid Waste Services Date: May 11, 2018 Meeting Date: May 17, 2018 Subject: 2017 Disposal Ban Program Update RECOMMENDATION That the GVS&DD Board receive for information the report dated May 11, 2018, titled 2017 Disposal Ban Program Update. PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to provide the annual update on the Metro Vancouver Disposal Ban Program. BACKGROUND The Metro Vancouver Disposal Ban Program restricts disposal of a range of materials at the regional transfer and disposal facilities. Attachment 1 lists the 2017 banned materials as defined in the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Bylaw No. 302, 2016 (2017 Tipping Fee Bylaw). Disposal ban inspectors provide public education and enforcement on disposal bans and issue surcharge notices in accordance with the Tipping Fee Bylaw. The GVS&DD Board receives an annual report describing the Disposal Ban Program results and highlighting changes observed year to year DISPOSAL BAN PROGRAM RESULTS Overall Results Table 1 provides year-over-year data on the Disposal Ban Program. In 2017, 220,624 or 29% of garbage loads were inspected, an increase from 180,530 in There were 4,138 surcharge notices issued, an increase from 3,430 in The surcharge rate in 2017 was the same as 2016 at 1.9%. About one out of ten inspected loads contained banned materials, including loads where a surcharge was applied and loads where a surcharge was not applied because the load was not ultimately disposed (i.e. customers could reload the banned materials back into their vehicles to avoid the surcharge). Inspectors interactions with customers helped prevent 20,549 loads containing banned materials from being disposed. In July 2017, a closed circuit camera system was installed at the Metro Vancouver Waste-to-Energy Facility to help disposal ban inspectors identify banned materials as customers unload waste into the bunker. As a result, the inspection rate increased from in 2016 to 2 in 2017.

8 2017 Disposal Ban Program Update Meeting Date: May 17, 2018 Page 2 of 4 Table 1: Inspection Statistics for Regional Solid Waste Facilities Year Number of Inspectors Garbage Loads Loads Inspected Loads Containing Banned Materials but not Disposed (no surcharge notice issued) Surcharge Notices Issued Surcharge Rate (1) , ,895 16,829 4, % , ,530 16,424 3, % , ,624 20,549 4, % 1. Surcharge rate equals the number of surcharge notices divided by the number of inspections. Results by Material Type Table 2 shows the types of banned materials contained in surcharged loads. Over the last 3 years, electronic waste has consistently been the material type with the highest number of surcharge notices, including household electronic good such as vacuums, microwaves, audio systems, televisions, computers and printers. The number of surcharge notices issued for electrical products decreased to 28% in 2017 from 35% in Corrugated cardboard made up 16% of the surcharge notices, up from 10% in Mattresses, gypsum and paint accounted for 17%, 9% and 5% of surcharge notices in 2017, respectively. Improper gypsum disposal continues to be a challenge in the region due to more stringent recycling requirements and associated costs. The clean wood disposal ban surcharge threshold decreased from 10% to 5% in 2017, resulting in increased surcharge notices issued from 5% to 7%. Other banned materials listed in Table 2 remained stable and individually accounted for 5% or less of total surcharge notices.

9 2017 Disposal Ban Program Update Meeting Date: May 17, 2018 Page 3 of 4 Results by Customer Type Table 3 summarizes the number of surcharge notices based on customer type (e.g., commercial, municipal and cash customers). The surcharge rate for commercial loads is higher than other customer types due to the types of materials and how they are collected. Cash customers are able to reload banned materials back into their vehicles more easily after inspection to avoid a surcharge, while banned items in commercial loads cannot typically be reloaded into garbage trucks due to safety and operational reasons. However, inspectors observed an increase in the number of commercial drivers retrieving individual items such as propane tanks, electrical products, mattresses, paint containers, oil containers and tires after inspection to avoid a surcharge. Table 3: Summary of Surcharges by Customer Type for 2017 Customer Type Inspections Surcharge Notices Surcharge Rate Commercial 75,699 3, Municipal 19, Cash Customers 125, Totals 220,624 4, % Dispute Resolution There were customer disputes related to surcharge notices issued for food waste, clean wood and corrugated cardboard. Forty-nine surcharge notices were submitted for dispute in 2017 and 7 surcharge notices were rescinded as summarized in Table 4. Table 4: Surcharge Dispute Summary Year Total Surcharge Disputes Received Total Surcharge Rescinded Hauler Surcharge Information The surcharge amount for each hauler that used Metro Vancouver disposal facilities (i.e., excludes City of Vancouver facilities) is shown in Attachment 2. The hauler surcharge rate is the number of surcharge notices divided by the estimated number of inspections for each hauler. ALTERNATIVES This is an information report. No alternatives are presented. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS In 2017, the total surcharge revenue was $343,279, with $314,402 from Metro Vancouver facilities and $28,877 from City of Vancouver facilities. The total program expenditures in 2017 were $739, surcharge revenues at Metro Vancouver and City of Vancouver facilities totaled $213,388 with expenditures of $552,782. Total program expenditures increased in 2017 due to the addition of two (2) disposal ban inspectors and introduction of weekend inspections. In 2017, the single item banned materials surcharge fee increased from $50 to $65, resulting in a $45,000 increase in surcharge revenues. Revenues and expenditures will continue to be reviewed in 2018.

10 2017 Disposal Ban Program Update Meeting Date: May 17, 2018 Page 4 of 4 SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The Disposal Ban Program is a key waste reduction strategy identified in the Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan. In 2017, 220,624 loads were inspected, 24,687 loads were found to contain banned materials and 4,138 surcharge notices were issued. The Disposal Ban Program remains an effective tool to encourage waste reduction and diversion, and Metro Vancouver is committee to continuous improvement of the program.

14 5.2 To: From: Brent Kirkpatrick, Lead Senior Engineer, Solid Waste Services Date: May 11, 2018 Meeting Date: May 17, 2018 Subject: Waste-to-Energy Facility 2017 Financial Update RECOMMENDATION That the GVS&DD Board receive for information the report dated May 11, 2018, titled Waste-to- Energy Facility 2017 Financial Update. PURPOSE To provide the GVS&DD Board a 2017 financial update for the Metro Vancouver Waste-to-Energy Facility located in Burnaby. BACKGROUND On an annual basis, results of the operation of the Waste-to-Energy Facility and contract with Covanta Burnaby Renewable Energy, ULC (Covanta), including tonnages, expenditures, revenues, service level and performance, and unit costs, are provided to the for information WASTE-TO-ENERGY FACILITY FINANCIALS Table 1 provides the past three years of expenditures for the Waste-to-Energy Facility. Table 1: 3-Year Expenditures for the Waste-to-Energy Facility Operating Cost $21,272,806 $20,437,204 $20,575,965 Debt Charges * $1,585,368 $1,629,151 $1,700,248 Total Expenditure $22,858,174 $22,066,355 $22,276,213 Tonnage 256, , ,748 Unit Cost / Tonne ** $89.15 $86.79 $85.76 * Debt charges are payments for Metro Vancouver capital upgrade debentures. ** Includes debt servicing costs. Operating costs include operating and maintaining the Waste-to-Energy Facility, service level and performance adjustments, and ash management. Overall operating costs in 2017 are similar to While costs increased for processing (due to inflation and an amendment to the operating contract to provide a rate adjustment resulting from the increased heating value of the garbage due the removal of food waste through the regional ban on organics in the waste) and additional fly ash testing (resulting from requirements of the Operational Certificate), they were offset by decreased bottom ash and fly ash disposal costs. In 2017 Covanta met contractual requirements for both service level and environmental performance.

Table 2: Metro Vancouver s Portion of Electrical Revenues for the Waste-to-Energy Facility Electrical Revenue $6,171,748 $5,796,681 $5,642,942 Tonnage 256, , ,748 Unit Revenue / Tonne $24.07 $22.80 $21.72 Electrical revenue in 2015 was higher than 2016 and 2017 because of an insurable event on the turbine generator which was reimbursed in The 2017 electrical revenues are typical for the facility. Table 3 outlines the net unit cost per tonne for operation and maintenance of the Metro Vancouver Waste-to-Energy Facility, including debt servicing. Table 3: 3-Year Net Unit Cost for Operation and Maintenance of the Waste-to-Energy Facility (including debt servicing) Unit Cost / Tonne (from Table 1) $89.15 $86.79 $85.76 Unit Revenue/ Tonne (from Table 2) $24.07 $22.80 $21.72 Net Unit Cost/ Tonne $65.08 $63.99 $64.04 ALTERNATIVES This is an information report, therefore no alternatives are presented. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Costs for managing waste at the Waste-to-Energy Facility have been fairly stable over the last three years with overall operating costs in 2017 similar to 2016 and unit cost being down slightly due to the increase in garbage processed. Metro Vancouver continues to work with Covanta to minimize facility costs and overall, the Waste-to-Energy Facility continues to be a low-cost regional disposal option. SUMMARY / CONCLUSION Expenditures in 2017 for the Waste-to-Energy Facility totaled $22.3 million, including $1.7 million in debt charges, resulting in an expenditure of $85.76 per tonne. Metro Vancouver s portion of electrical revenues totaled $5,642,942 or $21.72 per tonne. Based on the plant processing 259,748 tonnes of municipal solid waste, the net unit cost per tonne for operation and maintenance of the Waste-to-Energy Facility in 2017 was $64.04 per tonne. Tipping fee revenues are accounted for separately and are not included in this analysis

18 THE CORPORATION OF DELTA From the office of: The Mayor, Lois E. Jackson MAY~ b April24, 2018 Mayor Greg Moore, Chair Metro Vancouver Board of Directors 4730 Kingsway Burnaby BC, V5H OC6 ~=~~~i~~l~i Doc. N o.:d?2.q/..~ ~7.3. ~... CAO Tracker No.: Dear Chair Moore, Re: Enviro-Smart Organics I am writing in follow up to my letter dated January 30, 2018, requesting that the Air Quality Management Permit process for Enviro-Smart Organics be expedited in view of the ongoing odour concerns from the community. Green for Life Environmental (GFL), the parent company of Enviro-Smart Organics, is now proposing a number of major facility upgrades, including a new fully enclosed com posting building. GFL is seeking assurances from Delta that we would support a significant increase in capacity at the facility in order to justify the new investment. At the April 23, 2018 Executive Meeting, Delta Council adopted the following recommendations and unanimously endorsed they be released at a Regular Meeting of Council: THAT Metro Vancouver and Green for Life Environmental be advised that: a. Delta is supportive of upgrades to the Enviro-Smart facility including the fully enclosed composting building proposed and will expedite a building permit when an application is received; and b. If an application to amend the quantity limits in the regional Com posting Facility Site Licence is submitted by Green For Life Environmental to Metro Vancouver in advance of the completion of the proposed fully enclosed facility, Delta would support an application that specifically includes: i. No increase in capacity until the proposed upgrades are complete and operating in compliance with the Air Quality Management Permit; ii. Future incremental capacity increases that are linked to an ongoing track record of compliance with the Air Quality Management Permit and other applicable regulations; and iii. A commitment to address traffic and other community impacts related to capacity increases not regulated by the Air Quality Management Permit Clarence Taylor Crescent, Zero Delta, Waste British Committee Columbia, Canada V4K 3E2 T I F I E ma~or@delta.ca... 2

19 April 24, 2018 Page 2 ' I We trust that the Air Quality Management Permit will be an effective tool to regulate the odourous emissions from Enviro-Smart and, with the improvements proposed, GFL will be able to address the existing concerns from neighbouring residents. Having said that, Delta would like certainty that any increase in capacity at Enviro-Smart would be directly linked to ongoing compliance with an Air Quality Management Permit. For this reason, Delta Council also resolved as follows: "THAT Metro Vancouver be requested to propose an amendment to the regional Solid Waste and Recyclable Material Bylaw to include a provision that requires Licencees to comply with all other regional bylaws and specifically the Air Quality Management Bylaw allowing for a formal linkage between Air Quality Management Permits and Com posting Facility Site Licences." On behalf of Delta Council, I respectfully extend the foregoing request for Metro Vancouver's consideration. I will also be following up with the Minister of-environment and Climate Change Strategy on this issue. The odour issue is causing considerable concern to many residents in Ladner and we must ensure that all steps are taken to achieve an effective, long-term resolution to the issue at hand. I look forward to your timely response. ckson cc: The Honourable George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy Metro Vancouver Carol Mason, Chief Administrative Officer, Metro Vancouver Ray Robb, Division Manager, Environmental Regulatory & Enforcement Services, Metro Vancouver Delta Council Steven Lan, Acting City Manager Sean McGill, Director of Corporate Services
