2 AGENDA Compliance tracking and Monitoring Integrating Regulatory Compliance Health and Safety FACILITY MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS Operational Efficiencies 2

3 COMPOST ORGANICS PROCESSING FACILITIES Lafleche Moose Creek, Ontario Enviro-Smart, Delta, BC Total Processing of over 250,000 Mt of organics/year 3

4 MOOSE CREEK SITE Waste Water Treatment Plant BioReactor Landfill Compost Facility Future Expansion Co-Generation Plant Electronic Waste Sorting Facility Mechanical Repair Facility Office - Scale

5 COMPOST FACILITY Approved to process 120,000 Mt of organics and 120,000 Mt leaf and yard

6 LAFLECHE COMPOST SYSTEM 120,000 mt/year feedstock organics 120,000 mt/year bulking agents leaf and yard Double Fabric Structure - Enclosed receiving, processing and screening Concrete Channels 10 x 10 x 320 Aerated floor Agitated Bed 3 Electric Turners operate on rails and transfer carriage Negative pressure exhaust - 85,000CFM Continuous temperature and blower zone control system Double sized biofilter to control all air and odours - 75 M X 25 M Exhaust Gas monitoring system ammonia and hydrogen sulphide Active phase = 21 days internal Pre-screening Lafleche System allows various feedstocks and packaging

7 COMPOST OPERATIONS

8 RECEIVING All feedstocks are unloaded inside the building

9 BULKING AGENTS Bulking agents are all ground and stored in structures.

10 MIXING AND SCREENING

11 ACTIVE PHASE 21 DAYS - INTERNAL

12 COMPOST - PROCESSING CHANNELS The screened material is loaded and placed into aerated and agitated concrete channels for biological decomposition. The channels are 320 X 10 X 10 covered and equipped with temperature probes, aerated flooring, leachate collection system, and irrigation sprinklers. Aerated Floors Irrigation Sprinklers Temperature Probes

13 AIR AND LEACHATE FLOOR Channels are zoned and all air is controlled separately by zone.

14 COMPOST - TURNER A turner rides along rails on the channel walls. The turner agitates the compost on a daily basis. The turner moves the material 18 feet per pass. Turner agitates and turns each channel 80 minutes and moves to channels on transfer carriage

15 NEGATIVE AIR EXHAUST All internal air from channels is exhausted. Computer controlled exhaust fans. Biofilter has passed the <1 odour unit regulation

16 BIOFILTER ODOUR CONTROL 9 YEARS OF OPERATION NO ODOUR COMPLAINTS

17 PROCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Computer control process management system Monitors air, temperature, biofilter, gases - continuous Operator control blowers, exhaust, and CO2

18 PROCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Continuous monitoring of ammonia and hydrogen sulphide

19 Post-Screening STAR SCREENER WITH VACUUM SYSTEM removes plastics, residuals, wood chips are removed and circulated to front end active process)

20 COMPOST - MATURATION The material is placed in outdoor windrows. The windrows are regularly turned and temperature monitored. The material is kept in windrows for a minimum of 21 days.

21 Lafleche Compost System Operated large Compost Facility for 9 years NO operational, odour, or regulatory issues Proven performance producing AA Compost Ontario Quebec - CCME Expandable - adaptable system allows for growth and building type Active Phase 100% internal in building 21 days Process wide spectrum of feedstocks Effective Odour Control < 10 months design/construction

52 COMPOST FACILITY MOECC In 2013 Ministry of Environment and Climate Change announced a province wide blitz of all compost facilities in Ontario. June 2013 MOECC Sector Compliance Branch conducted an unannounced comprehensive review of paperwork, computer records, and field review of the facilities. Director MOECC Lafleche was the only Compost facility in Ontario to receive a passing grade with NO follow-up actions.

53 SUMMARY Minimize material handling - layout Maintain flexibility contingencies Plan for expansion from the beginning Work with Regulators The permit and license is not all you do Equipment downtime inventory Temperature best process parameter Manage the complete facility Keep good records documentation Promote and spread the word. and soil 53
