BACKGROUND The Liquid Waste Sustainability Innovation Fund was created by the Board in 2004 to provide financial support to Liquid Waste Utility projects that contribute to the region s sustainability. The GVS&DD Board adopted the Liquid Waste Sustainability Innovation Fund Policy on June 27, 2014, with further amendments in 2016, to guide the use and management of the Fund. The Policy describes a process of generating, submitting, evaluating and recommending proposals for funding each year. The Climate Action Committee is responsible for overseeing the Fund, and for making all funding recommendations to the Board. Staff assist the Climate Action Committee in reviewing and evaluating all proposals that are submitted for consideration. This report brings forward the 2018 projects recommended for consideration of funding for the Liquid Waste Sustainability Innovation Fund

16 2018 Liquid Waste Sustainability Innovation Fund Applications Climate Action Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 7, 2018 Page 2 of 6 LIQUID WASTE SUSTAINABILITY INNOVATION FUND POLICY On an annual basis, Liquid Waste projects are submitted to an internal staff Steering Committee, representing a cross-section of the organization, to evaluate projects and initiatives based on the Fund s evaluation criteria. As defined in the policy, projects need to fulfil the following criteria: Be overseen by the GVSⅅ Be consistent with the authority and responsibility of the GVSⅅ Be consistent with the objectives of the Integrated Liquid Waste and Resource Management Plan and/or the Board Strategic Plan; Consider partnerships including, but not limited to, member jurisdictions, academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, and community groups; Result in a positive contribution, in the form of tangible results and/or measurable benefits, to the sustainability of the region; and, Demonstrate innovation and facilitate action. The Sustainability Innovation Fund is not designed to support business as usual projects that a department would undertake as part of its normal operations, nor is it in place to support projects that would normally be funded through a department s capital plan. The Fund can be used, however, to pursue opportunity projects in the capital planning process, innovative projects that are outside the liquid waste core functions that address cross-cutting organizational objectives, and public engagement and education programs designed to change behaviour. On an annual basis the Climate Action Committee receives an update report on the projects supported by the Fund including the deliverables, outcomes, and the measurable benefits of these projects to the region s sustainability APPLICATION PROCESS An internal call for proposals closed on November 1, 2017 and three proposals were considered by the cross-departmental Sustainability Innovation Fund Steering Committee, comprised of representatives from seven different departments within Metro Vancouver. STEERING COMMITTEE REVIEW The Steering Committee evaluated the submissions and determined three proposals have strong alignment with promoting regional sustainability and innovation. The proposals readily met the criteria established in the Policy for the Fund and demonstrated a clear understanding of the dimensions of sustainability. The proposals recommended for funding by the Steering Committee are listed in the table below with additional detail provided in the executive summaries (Attachment 1).

17 2018 Liquid Waste Sustainability Innovation Fund Applications Climate Action Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 7, 2018 Page 3 of 6 The projects recommended for funding by the Steering Committee are presented in the following table: Recommended allocation from the Liquid Waste Sustainability Innovation Fund Project Title Year Amount Requested Capture of wastewater contaminants of concern and beneficial use of residuals $450,000 Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) Biofuel Demonstration Facility at the Annacis Island $9,000,000 Wastewater Treatment Project Intelligent Water Systems Making Use of Sensors and Big Data Analytics $200,000 Total $9,650,000 Capture of Wastewater Contaminants of Concern and Beneficial Use of Residuals The capture of wastewater contaminants of concern and beneficial use of residuals project will improve and test conditions to produce a new material from wastewater sludge -a sludge-based activated carbon that can then be used to capture contaminants of concern in wastewater. The project will include two phases. The first phase will produce several sewage sludge-based activated carbons (SBACs) under different conditions and test their effectiveness in removing trace organic chemicals of concern from wastewater, preventing their release into water bodies where they may harm aquatic life. A selected list of environmentally relevant trace organic chemicals will be analyzed to test the performance and effectiveness of SBACs. If the first phase is successful, the second phase of the project will test optimal conditions for the production of SBAC and the sensitivity of binding characteristics due to production methodology. Contaminant removal performance will be compared between several products. The scope of phase 2 could expand if additional funds are leveraged by the research partners and concurrent phases of the research by partners could include further testing methods of using the sludge-based activated carbon to capture stormwater contaminants to prevent their release into water bodies, and testing the long-term stability of the contaminants in the activated carbon. The Department of Civil Engineering at the University of British Columbia and Kerr Wood Leidal (KWL) consulting are identified project partners. Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) Pilot Plant at the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Project The production of wastewater sludge is estimated to double with the upgrade of treatment plants from primary to secondary treatment. Additionally, the increased population growth will also add to the production of wastewater sludge. There are challenges to the existing anaerobic digestion (AD) process that produces biosolids for land application and uncertainties with this practice that could arise in future years. Hydrothermal processing (HTP) is an emerging technology that addresses these challenges in a sustainable way and has the potential to replace AD. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) converts wet biomass into biocrude that can displace petroleum crude. Preliminary techno-economic assessments indicate that, compared to AD, HTL has lower capital and operating costs, provides significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and has a smaller footprint.

18 2018 Liquid Waste Sustainability Innovation Fund Applications Climate Action Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 7, 2018 Page 4 of 6 This project seeks to implement a HTL pilot plant at the Annacis Island WWTP and carry out performance testing and evaluation before subsequent scale-up. In 2016 the GVS&DD Board committed $4 million from the Liquid Waste Sustainability Innovation Fund for the project, subject to securing the required remaining funds from external sources. Applications to federal and provincial granting agencies have not been successful. The project has not proceeded and no funds have been spent to date. This new proposal seeks to increase the previously committed funds from $4.0 million to $9 million. Identified partner and stakeholders include Genifuel Corporation, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Water Research Foundation (WRF), Parkland, and Boeing. The B.C. Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources has expressed its support for the project and is working towards a monetary contribution of up to $1.5 million for this project, starting in 2019 (Attachment 3). Intelligent Water Systems Making Use of Sensors and Big Data Analytics Metro Vancouver and its municipal members currently monitor and collect large amounts of data from many different sources. With the advent of new and less expensive sensor and data collection technology this trend is expected to increase exponentially. This results in the need to be able to collect, process, and analyze a large amount of data (Big Data) before it can become usable information. The process to adapt to this shift for the water industry is currently in its infancy. There is a need to identify and evaluate new and innovative tools and techniques to take advantage of this change, and it would be beneficial for Metro Vancouver to become more involved at this time. The Water Research Foundation (WRF) currently has two ongoing Phase I studies intended to help the water industry prepare for the need to manage this data. Results from both Phase I studies is expected early in Phase II is expected to expand on the findings of the Phase I studies, partner with water utilities to test and develop implementation tools, and develop a framework for how water management professionals can take advantage of these new and emerging tools. Some specific objectives include enhancing the ability for Liquid Waste Services to use current monitoring information to enhance the functionality of predictive computer models, identify patterns and problem areas, and improve operational effectiveness. These could be accomplished through improved model calibration, more comprehensive quality assessment and quality control of data, consolidation of various datasets, and the ability to input and process key information such as real time rainfall and flow data, land use and population data, and environmental monitoring data. The detailed scope of Phase II depends on the results of ongoing Phase I work. ALTERNATIVES 1.

21 ATTACHMENT 1 Sustainability Innovation Fund: Liquid Waste Services Executive Summary Project Name: Capture of wastewater contaminants of concern and beneficial use of residuals Amount Requested from Sustainability Innovation Fund: $450,000 ( ) Purpose: The purpose of this project is to test methods of transforming wastewater solids into a valuable product that can capture contaminants from wastewater that are common in household products, and that may cause harm to fish and other aquatic life. Methods to capture contaminants of emerging concern from wastewater are not currently well developed and understood. The development of additional methods of capturing such contaminants and destroying or safely rendering them inert, preventing their release into water bodies, would be valuable. In addition, creating new, diverse uses of wastewater treatment solids will also increase management options for these materials, by providing a beneficial option additional to energy recovery and land application. Current wastewater treatment processes are not designed to explicitly capture many of these contaminants. However, environmental quality guidelines exist for some. In the future, regulations for such contaminants may be developed. This project will proactively explore a method that would contribute to improving effluent quality, as well as increasing options for managing wastewater treatment solids. Recommendation: The Steering Committee recommends funding for this project in the amount of $450,000 over three years, starting in Project Objectives: The project s objectives are to produce a new adsorbent material, wastewater solids-based activated carbon (SBAC), and demonstrate its effectiveness for contaminant removal from wastewater over the course of two phases. The first phase of this project will produce several SBACs from different wastewater solids sources and test their effectiveness in removing trace organic chemicals of concern from wastewater. A selected shortlist of liquid waste utility and environmentally relevant trace organic chemicals will be analyzed to test the effectiveness of SBACs. If the first phase is successful, the second phase of the project will focus on mapping out the contaminant removal performance across various concentrations and develop performance data that would be required to develop a business case. If additional funds are leveraged by the research partners, scope of work could expand and concurrent phases of the research could include testing SBAC to capture stormwater contaminants, testing the long-term stability of the contaminants in the activated carbon, and assessing regulatory issues

22 Contributions to Regional Sustainability: This project contributes to regional sustainability by potentially developing a new beneficial product using wastewater materials that could be implemented at Metro Vancouver facilities. The resulting product would capture contaminants of concern including emerging contaminants, preventing their release into local water bodies where they may cause harm to aquatic life. Such contaminants, such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), are often present in household products. Although many of these contaminants of concern are not currently regulated by provincial and federal authorities, several have environmental quality guidelines that are applicable to the aquatic environment (e.g., Federal Environmental Quality Guidelines for PBDEs). This project will proactively explore a method that would contribute to improving effluent quality. New beneficial uses of wastewater solids would diversify options available. Innovation Element: This project is innovative applied research, because the needs for such removal methods are only now emerging, and because the techniques for developing such methods that successfully capture contaminants are not well developed. Successful bench scale testing by the proposed partners in this project provided the basis for this project. Their research to date has shown that SBAC is more effective than conventional sources of granular activated carbon at capturing certain kinds of contaminants like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are commonly found in stormwater and wastewater. This improved performance indicates that SBAC may also be more effective at capturing other wastewater contaminants like PBDEs. The development of successful methods would proactively prepare Metro Vancouver with ways to improve effluent quality, and would create new beneficial uses of residual materials. Tangible Benefits and Outcomes: The effectiveness of contaminant removal from wastewater effluent will be measured in both phases. Costs associated with the production of the SBAC and the contaminant removal process, including energy use and other materials use, will also be evaluated in Phase 2. If a beneficial use market for wastewater solids can be developed to improve effluent and/or stormwater quality, this could diversify market options available for solids management, increase the value of the organization s solids, and could reduce solids management costs, while also addressing potential environmental impacts. Members and other Partners: The project will be implemented in coordination with Dr. Loretta Li of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Chris Johnston at Kerr Wood Leidal (KWL), a consulting firm. As noted above, successful UBC and KWL research to date provided the basis for this project. Dr. Li has been undertaking research to convert domestic sewage sludge to SBAC and has conducted preliminary studies in collaboration with KWL on the use of SBAC to remove nutrients from stormwater. If this Sustainability Innovation Fund request is approved, UBC plans to leverage these funds and apply for NSERC grants. KWL will also provide cash funding that can be used as leverage to obtain federal funding for post-doc students. KWL is also committed to providing in-kind support in Phase 2 to secure a third party to develop a field test for stormwater capture in a raingarden, as well as the development and analysis of a business case using performance information obtained in Phase 1.

23 Sustainability Innovation Fund: Liquid Waste Services Executive Summary Project Name: Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) Biofuel Demonstration Facility at the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant Amount Requested from Sustainability Innovation Fund: $9 million ( ) Purpose: This proposal is to implement a pilot-scale biofuel demonstration facility at the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, which would use Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) technology to convert wastewater sludge into bio-crude for the production of renewable low carbon transportation fuels. This innovative technology is an alternative to the current waste management process known as anaerobic digestion (AD). The demonstration facility is intended to test and assess the performance of the technology before moving forward on a larger scale in future years. The introduction of HTL technology helps to meet Metro Vancouver s long-term vision for liquid waste management and aims to establish facilities that achieve zero net energy, produce zero odours, minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and yield net cost savings while providing tangible benefits. Recommendation: The Steering Committee recommends that the GVS&DD Board approve funding from the Liquid Waste Sustainability Innovation Fund to establish the Hydrothermal Liquefaction Biofuel Demonstration Facility: a) $9 million over four years, starting in 2018, and, b) That staff directly retain Genifuel Corporation for $800,000 over the duration of the project to enable access to its licensed and proprietary technology, undertake front-end engineering, determine process design, generate system layout, materials & equipment specifications, and provide technical support. Project Objectives: The project s main objective is to advance the development of the HTL technology, as well as to quantify the potential benefits and evaluate its suitability for future adoption at Metro Vancouver facilities. This would include a techno-economic assessment of HTL and a business case for full-scale implementation at the future Iona Island Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant. Preliminary assessments suggest there are significant economic and environmental benefits for HTL compared with anaerobic digestion that can lead to the establishment of an advanced biofuels hub and development of highly qualified personnel, which would help to further the technology and establish additional revenue.

24 Contributions to Regional Sustainability: The main output of HTL is a liquid bio-crude that can be sold to refineries to partially displace regular crude oil for processing into finished fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel with low carbon intensities. Co-processing of bio-crude with regular petroleum sources reduces the carbon intensity of produced fuels and helps refineries meet mandates of the B.C. Renewable and Low Carbon Fuel Requirements Regulation. As an example, the carbon intensity of finished biodiesel refined entirely from HTL bio-crude may be as low as 11 gco2e/mj, compared to 93 gco2e/mj from petroleum sources. Early techno-economic analysis for the future Iona Island Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant indicates that the HTL process could prevent more than 16,900 tco2e/year of GHG emissions. In contrast, the AD process prevents 5,200 tco2e/year of GHG emissions, which means HTL provides GHG emission reductions of more than 11,000 tco2e/year. For context, Metro Vancouver s 2016 corporate carbon footprint (as reported under the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program) was 8,000 tco2e/year. Innovation Element: HTL is an innovative emerging technology representing the culmination of more than a dozen patented processes, and allows improved onsite conversion of wet wastes compared with the status quo technology, while producing a low carbon bio-crude. HTL requires much smaller vessels than AD, resulting in a smaller footprint and could offer space-constrained sites an option to expand treatment capacity at existing facilities, opening up opportunities for innovation/improvement that do not currently exist. The technology addresses the needs of two industries simultaneously: improving wastewater treatment and generating a bio-crude that can be upgraded at existing refineries into renewable replacement transportation fuels. This plant would be the first pilot-scale HTL system located at a wastewater treatment facility in the world, and offers the opportunity for intellectual property (IP) development. Tangible Benefits and Outcomes: Success in the commercialization of HTL will create more sustainable infrastructure, while yielding positive environmental, social and economic outcomes for Metro Vancouver and demonstrating leadership in innovation and sustainability. The expected outcomes and benefits include: An updated techno-economic assessment of HTL for full-scale implementation at Iona Island Secondary WWTP Reduced GHG emissions through displacement of fossil fuels with a bio-crude that is compatible with current fuel refining infrastructure Cost savings associated with lower capital costs compared with AD; lower net operating costs due to revenue generation from selling bio-crude; and reduction of biosolids management costs

25 Members and other Partners: This is a project that brings together partners from the wastewater and petroleum industries, as well as government and holders of the proprietary technology to design, fabricate, install and operate North America s first HTL demonstration facility that uses wastewater biomass. In brief, Genifuel Corporation is the technology supplier and licensee of the HTL system. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are developers of the HTL technology and offers technical support. Parkland Fuel Corporation (formerly Chevron Canada Burnaby Refinery) will assess the bio-crude output for coprocessing at its facility to a low carbon advanced biofuel. The B.C. Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources has expressed its support for the project and is working towards a monetary contribution of up to $1.5 million for this project, starting in 2019.

26 Sustainability Innovation Fund: Liquid Waste Services Executive Summary Project Name: Intelligent Water Systems Making Use of Sensors and Big Data Analytics Amount Requested from Sustainability Innovation Fund: $200,000 (2018 & 2019) Purpose: Metro Vancouver and its municipal members currently monitor and collect large amounts of data from many different sources. With the advent of new and less expensive sensor and data collection technology this trend is expected to increase exponentially. What this will result in is the need to be able to collect, process, and analyze a large amount of data (Big Data) before it can become usable information. The process to adapt to this shift for the water industry is currently in its infancy. There is a need to identify and evaluate new and innovative tools and techniques to take advantage of this change, and it would be beneficial for Metro Vancouver to become more involved at this time. The Water Research Foundation (WRF) currently has two ongoing Phase I studies intended to help the water industry prepare for the need to manage this data. Results from both Phase I studies is expected early in Phase II is expected to expand on the findings of the Phase I studies, partner with water utilities to test and develop implementation tools, and develop a framework for how water management professionals can take advantage of these new and emerging tools. Recommendation: The detailed scope of Phase II is dependent on the ongoing Phase I work and available funding from WRF and partners. If this application is successful, Metro Vancouver would become a partner with WRF along with other utilities and industry service providers. The Steering Committee recommends funding in the amount of $100,000 per year for each of 2018 and 2019 (total = $200,000). Project Objectives: The objective of this project is to prepare Metro Vancouver and its members for the change to the management of data in the water industry. By getting involved early, Metro Vancouver will be better situated to take advantage of the tools and approaches developed, and promote the region as a leader in the field. Some examples of short term specific objectives include enhancing the ability for Liquid Waste Services to use current monitoring information to enhance the functionality of predictive computer models, identify patterns and problem areas, and improve operational effectiveness. These could be accomplished through improved model calibration, more comprehensive quality assessment and quality control of data, consolidation of various datasets, and the ability to input and process key

27 information such as real time rainfall and flow data, land use and population data, and environmental monitoring data. Contributions to Regional Sustainability: There will be wide spread benefits related to the management of the Utility and to the sustainability of the Region in general. Examples of Triple Bottom Line benefits are provided below. Environmental improvements include the reduction of spills, more efficient and effective treatment of sewage before discharging to the receiving environment, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, reduced impacts on resources through the efficient timing of capital works and operational improvements. An efficient and reliable sanitary system provides significant social and community benefits such as reduced community disruption, greater stability for businesses, and the protection of public health and the environment. Innovation Element: All Utilities will be impacted by this data improvement trend in the industry, but the change is currently in its infancy. While it is anticipated that in the future, many of the outcomes from this project will become more commonplace, at this time, this project is considered leading edge and innovative, and will help pave the way for all water industry partners. Tangible Benefits and Outcomes: This project is anticipated to provide the foundation for numerous benefits that will bridge all facets of service delivery. A few examples of potential short term tangible benefits to planning, operations, and environmental monitoring are provided below: Improvements to the planning function include improved modeling abilities resulting in greater predication accuracy, shorter analysis turn-around times, and a more accurate timeframe estimation for capital works identified. Operational improvements could include a reduction in the number and magnitude of sewage spills, reduced electrical costs associated with pump station operation, and more effective management of treatment plant and collection systems Improvements for environmental management and quality control include the ability to consolidate water quality data currently in multiple locations, identify spatial patterns and trends, and complete comparative analyses. Members and other Partners: Phase II of the WRF project will take the findings from the two Phase I investigative studies and provide guidance to Utilities on how to implement Big Data tools and approaches. Metro Vancouver involvement as a key stakeholder and a potential test case will assist with more rapid implementation of tools to take advantage of the trends in data collection and management. It will also allow incorporation of local conditions and provide better direction for future actions to be implemented within the region. Funding contributions from all partners will be consolidated by the Water Resource

28 Foundation with the scope of the Phase II work dependent on the resources available. Currently six to eight municipalities have expressed interest in participating in the Phase II project work.

30 ATTACHMENT 3 Ref.: December 6, 2017 Ms. Carol Mason Commissioner/Chief Administrative Officer Metro Vancouver 27th Floor, 4730 Kingsway Burnaby, BC V5H 4J5 Dear Ms. Mason: Re: Advanced Biofuel Demonstration Facility I understand that the Board will consider a proposal to establish an advanced biofuel demonstration facility at its meeting in February This letter provides input from the B.C. Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources (Ministry) to inform the discussion at that meeting. As you know, the Province of British Columbia is committed to building a strong, sustainable, and innovative economy that creates opportunities for all British Columbians. The Ministry has been directed to create a roadmap for the future of energy in British Columbia, which includes the generation of clean energy and advancement of new technologies. The energy roadmap integrates with our climate action strategy that has carbon reduction targets and plans. To achieve ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets, British Columbia's reliance on nonrenewable energy, particularly in the transportation sectors, will need focused attention. The Ministry has reviewed Metro Vancouver's proposal to develop an advanced biofuel demonstration facility that converts wastewater biomass to a bio-crude. Wastewater biomass removed as part of the treatment process is a reliable renewable energy source. The conversion to bio-crude is enabled through a high pressure and temperature process called hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) that converts complex carbon to simpler forms, specifically a crude oil. The Ministry is pleased to see that Metro Vancouver has received support for the project from Parkland Fuel Corporation (formerly Chevron Canada- Burnaby Operations). I understand Parkland seeks the HTL bio-crude for co-processing with petroleum sources that can help their refinery achieve carbon intensity obligations resulting from B.C.'s Renewable and Low Carbon Fuel Requirements Regulation..../2 Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Electricity and Alternative Energy Division Mailing Address: PO Box 9314, Stn Prov Govt Victoria, BC VSW 9N1 Location: 4th Floor 1810 Blanshard Street Victoria, BC

31 -2- Given the strong alignment of Metro Vancouver's Advanced Biofuel Demonstration Facility with that of the Ministry's waste-to-fuel interest, I wish to signal our support for the proposed $9 million project. It is my Division's intention to dedicate efforts to enable co-funding the project with Metro Vancouver and its partners. We will seek to do this through the Innovative Clean Energy (ICE) Fund. While prior commitments will likely preclude a monetary contribution for fiscal year 2018, the Ministry will seek approvals that will enable an investment of up to $1.5 million starting in fiscal year Typically, disbursements for projects like the proposed demonstration facility may be distributed to coincide with achievement of key milestones in construction and operations. If the Board proceeds with the project, Mr. Daniel Green, Executive Director - Alternative Energy, will plan to include the Advanced Biofuel Demonstration Facility in the proposed projects of the ICE Fund brought forward for consideration during the third quarter of 2018/19. A decision would likely be made by the beginning of the fourth quarter. Mr. Green and his officials will be the primary contacts during this time. This is a project that brings together partners from the wastewater and petroleum industries, government, engineering consultancy and trades in the fabrication and installation of North America's first operational wastewater biomass to bio-crude facility. With this project, our leadership in clean energy can create an innovative technology hub focused on renewable transportation fuels in British Columbia. The Ministry looks forward to hearing from Metro Vancouver and a positive decision to proceed with its advanced biofuel facility to help further our new low-carbon economy. Yours sincerely,.ji Les MacLaren Assistant Deputy Minister cc: Mr. Daniel Green, Executive Director, Alternative Energy Branch Mr. Paul Kadota, Program Manager, Utility Research and Innovation

32 Section E 2.1 To: From: Zero Waste Committee Terry Fulton, Project Engineer, Solid Waste Services Date: February 2, 2018 Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Subject: 2017 Multi-Family Waste Composition Study Findings RECOMMENDATION That the GVS&DD Board receive for information the report dated February 2, 2018, titled 2017 Multi-Family Waste Composition Study Findings. PURPOSE To provide an updated estimate of waste composition, disposal rates and recycling rates for the multifamily sector. BACKGROUND The Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan (ISWRMP) targets improving diversion rates in the multi-family sector. To measure progress over time, Metro Vancouver carries out periodic waste composition audits. Although samples from the multi-family sector were included in the 2015 and 2016 waste composition studies, the last multi-family-specific composition study occurred in 2013, prior to the implementation of the Organics Disposal Ban. The updated 2017 study helps Metro Vancouver to gauge how waste composition and disposal rates have changed since the ban was implemented MULTI-FAMILY WASTE COMPOSITION STUDY RESULTS Metro Vancouver collected garbage, recycling and organics samples from 100 multi-family buildings across the region. Results are organized by material stream in the subsections below. The 2017 Multi-Family Residential Waste Composition Study report is available on the Metro Vancouver website at by searching the full name of the report. Garbage Multi-family garbage disposal decreased 10% from 234 kg/capita in 2013 to 212 kg/capita in Organics in the waste stream decreased 20% from 100 kg/capita disposed in 2013 to 80 kg/capita in In 2017, the most prevalent material categories in the garbage were organics (38%), paper including compostable food-soiled paper (16%) and plastic (15%). The table below shows the disposal per capita of the primary material categories in 2013 and 2017.

33 2017 Multi-Family Waste Composition Study Findings Zero Waste Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Page 2 of 3 Multi-family disposal per capita for primary material categories Material in the Garbage kg/capita kg/capita Paper and compostable food-soiled paper Plastics Compostable Plastics 0 1 Compostable Organics Non-Compostable Organics Metals 13 6 Glass 3 6 Building Material 15 3 Electronic Waste 8 4 Household Hazardous 2 2 Household Hygiene Bulky Objects 8 1 Fines 2 3 Total (kg/capita) Recycling Of the 100 buildings sampled, 73 buildings had multi-stream recycling collection (separate bins for paper and containers) and 27 had single-stream (paper and containers comingled in one bin). Multifamily buildings recycled 82 kg/capita of paper, containers and glass, compared to 212 kg/capita garbage disposed. Within the recycling bins the largest components by weight were mixed paper (53%), cardboard (24%) and recyclable glass (7%). Organics Ninety-four of the 100 buildings sampled had organics collection. Multi-family buildings recycled 35 kg/capita of organics, compared to 212 kg/capita garbage disposed. The primary component of the organics stream by weight was food waste (89%) with minor amounts of paper (6%) and yard waste (4%). Contamination in the organics stream was less than 2%. 36% of compostable organic material was found in green bins, while the remaining 64% was in the garbage stream. Performance Across Multi-family Buildings Metro Vancouver assessed the factors affecting diversion performance differences between buildings. More waste was disposed from high rises (5 or more stories) and rental buildings than townhomes and condos. Contamination rates were approximately 30-50% lower in buildings with better signage, lighting and clarity of streams in their recycling rooms compared to buildings with poor ratings in those categories. ALTERNATIVES This is an information report. No alternatives are presented. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Waste composition monitoring occurs regularly and is included in the Solid Waste Services annual operating budget. There are no further financial implications regarding this work.

34 2017 Multi-Family Waste Composition Study Findings Zero Waste Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Page 3 of 3 SUMMARY / CONCLUSION The 2017 Multi-Family Waste Composition study provides a comprehensive waste composition analysis of the multi-family sector. Based on the 100 samples analyzed in this study, multi-family residents dispose of 212 kg/capita garbage, recycle 82 kg/capita of paper, containers and glass, and recycle 35 kg/capita of organic material. Organics in multi-family garbage has decreased 20% from 100 kg/capita in 2013 to 80 kg/capita in Of all organics generated by buildings in this study, 64% was disposed of in the garbage, and 36% was placed in the appropriate organics receptacle. According to the 2016 census, more than half of all households in the Metro Vancouver region are considered multi-family. As this sector has a relatively low diversion rate compared to the single family sector, it is important to understand the characteristics of the waste stream in order to aid the development of targeted programs and policies

36 ATTACHMENT To: From: Zero Waste Committee Paul Henderson, General Manager, Solid Waste Services Roy Moulder, Division Manager, Purchasing and Risk Management, Financial Services Division Date: February 2, 2018 Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Subject: Award of Contract from RFP No : Contingency Disposal Services Standing Offer Agreements and Approval of Contract Extensions for the Interim Contingency Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste RECOMMENDATION That the GVS&DD Board authorize: a) a contract extension to Waste Management of Canada Corporation of up to $1,500,000; b) a contract extension to Republic Services of British Columbia, Inc. of up to $1,500,000; c) award of a standing offer contract to Waste Management Disposal Services of Oregon Incorporated at a value of up to $25,000,000 (exclusive of taxes) over a three-year term; d) award of a standing offer contract to Republic Services of British Columbia, Inc. at a value of up to $21,000,000 (exclusive of taxes) over a three-year term; and e) the Commissioner and Corporate Officer to execute the contracts. PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to seek GVS&DD Board approval to a) extend the existing interim contingency disposal contracts, each up to $1,500,000 and b) recommend award of standing offer contracts for contingency disposal of waste that cannot be managed within the Metro Vancouver/City of Vancouver disposal system with i) Waste Management Disposal Services of Oregon Incorporated in an amount up to $25,000,000 (exclusive of taxes), and ii) Republic Services of British Columbia, Inc. in an amount up to $21,000,000 (exclusive of taxes). BACKGROUND Pursuant to the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Officers and Delegation Bylaw No. 284, 2014 (Bylaw) and the Procurement and Real Property Contracting Authority Policy (Policy), procurement contracts which exceed a value of $5 million require the approval of the GVS&DD Board of Directors. This report is being brought forward to the Zero Waste Committee to consider a recommendation to the GVS&DD Board to: approve an extension of the existing interim contingency disposal contracts to bridge the period until standing offer agreements are in place; update the Board on consultation activities related to contingency disposal, and award standing offer agreements to Waste Management Disposal Services of Oregon Incorporated and Republic Services of British Columbia, Inc. for a three-year period.

37 Award of Contract from RFP No : Contingency Disposal Services Standing Offer Agreements and Approval of Contract Extensions for the Interim Contingency Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste Zero Waste Committee Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Page 2 of 5 CONTINGENCY DISPOSAL On March 31, 2017, the GVS&DD Board approved the following recommendations: a) approve initiating a Request for Standing Offers to establish Standing Offer Agreements to pick up waste at Metro Vancouver transfer stations for a three-year term; b) approve initiating a Request for Standing Offers to establish Standing Offer Agreements to receive waste at remote disposal facilities for a three-year term; c) approve initiating a Request for Standing Offers to establish Standing Offer Agreements to haul waste from Metro Vancouver transfer stations to remote disposal facilities using Metro Vancouver trailers for a three-year term; and d) direct staff to initiate additional consultation on contingency disposal and report back to the Board with feedback when recommendations for award of Standing Offer Agreements are brought to the Board for consideration. Contingency disposal is required because Metro Vancouver stopped shipping waste to Cache Creek Landfill in July Both the Vancouver Landfill and the Waste-to-Energy Facility have maximum annual capacity restrictions, based on operational requirements at the Waste-to-Energy Facility and Operational Certificate requirements at the Vancouver Landfill. Any additional waste received in the Metro Vancouver system beyond what can be managed at the Vancouver Landfill or Waste-to- Energy Facility is sent for remote disposal. Contingency disposal also provides system redundancy in the event of an operational disruption at either the Waste-to-Energy Facility or Vancouver Landfill. Interim Contingency Disposal In advance of issuing a request for standing offers in April 2017, RFP No was issued for interim contingency disposal. Responses were received from Waste Management of Canada Corporation (Waste Management) and Republic Services of British Columbia, Inc. (Republic). Interim disposal contracts were established with these two firms, both of which provided a unit price per intermodal container. Waste Management began interim disposal operations in May 2017 and Republic began in July Interim contingency disposal contracts are in place with Waste Management and Republic, currently in the amounts of $4,950,000 and $4,050,000, respectively. These two contracts were originally awarded in May 2017 to Waste Management and Republic in the amounts of $2,425,000 and $1,800,000, respectively. The two contracts were amended in December 2017 to the current amounts to provide ongoing service in advance of longer term standing offer agreements being put in place. It is recommended that contract extensions of up to $1,500,000 each be approved for Waste Management and Republic to allow continued service until the standing offer contracts are expected to be in place, currently projected to be April 1, Standing Offer Agreements Under a standing offer agreement, companies submit pricing for delivery of services on a unit basis. Standing offer agreements are entered into with one or more of the companies. Request for standing offer (RFP No ) was issued with a minimum guaranteed annual quantity of waste of 15,000 tonnes per contract. The intent was to establish two agreements to offer operational flexibility.

38 Award of Contract from RFP No : Contingency Disposal Services Standing Offer Agreements and Approval of Contract Extensions for the Interim Contingency Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste Zero Waste Committee Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Page 3 of 5 RFP No was issued on July 28, 2017 closing September 21, The request for standing offers was for a three-year period with an option for a two-year extension. Responses were received from Waste Management Disposal Services of Oregon Incorporated (Waste Management Inc.) and Republic. Pricing was received from Waste Management Inc. to either receive the waste at intermodal yards or alternatively pick up the waste from Metro Vancouver s transfer stations. Republic provided pricing for pick-up of waste from Metro Vancouver s transfer station. In both cases, waste is transported in intermodal containers and these containers are transferred from truck to rail car at intermodal yards. Waste Management Inc. s intermodal yard is located in Seattle. Republic has access to two yards, one in Surrey and one in Sumas, Washington, south of Abbotsford. Based on the interim contract pricing, receipt of waste at the intermodal yards is priced on a similar basis by both Waste Management Inc. and Republic. Overall service cost for disposal through Waste Management Inc. is higher on a unit basis as a result of higher costs to transport waste to the Seattle intermodal yard. Pick up of the waste at Metro Vancouver s transfer stations is overall less expensive than delivery to either company s intermodal yard and removes the requirement for Metro Vancouver to enter into separate contracts for delivery of waste to the intermodal yards. Waste Management Inc. utilizes the Columbia Ridge Landfill in eastern Oregon, and Republic utilizes the Roosevelt Regional Landfill in eastern Washington. Both of these landfills are large scale disposal facilities with advanced environmental protection systems. Three-year standing offer contract values for Waste Management Inc. and Republic are valued at up to $25,000,000 and $21,000,000, respectively. Both proponents submitted their bids in US dollars and these have been converted to Canadian dollars based on projected exchange rates which are subject to change. The maximum contract values are based on up to 50,000 tonnes per company per year. Actual requirements for each company will likely be less than 50,000 tonnes per year, and will depend on the amount of waste in the Metro Vancouver/City of Vancouver disposal system. Maximum contract amounts for both Waste Management Inc. and Republic include an allowance for additional handling of the waste if required. Consultation Metro Vancouver conducted two phases of consultation on its contingency disposal plans; phase one took place from August to December 2016 and phase two took place from April 12 to May Additional details are available in the Contingency Disposal Consultation Plan included in the report provided to the GVS&DD Board at its March 31, 2017 meeting. The first consultation phase sought input from waste management stakeholders with an interest in the procurement process while the second phase was expanded to include recycling and hauling businesses, boards of trade, chambers of commerce, staff from Metro Vancouver member municipalities and the Fraser Valley Regional District and others who had indicated interest in the project. Metro Vancouver consulted waste management stakeholders during two procurements processes in 2016 and subsequently created a public consultation web page describing the requirement for additional disposal capacity

First Nations consultation was pending the identification of contingency disposal location(s) through the procurement process. If one of the contingency disposal locations identified had been in British Columbia, Metro Vancouver would have notified potentially affected First Nations within the area. Metro Vancouver received consultation feedback from six respondents: Belkorp Environmental Services Inc. Republic Services Waste Management of Canada Corporation Fraser Valley Regional District Township of Langley The Waste Management Association of BC Belkorp Environmental Services Inc., Republic Services and Waste Management of Canada Corporation provided feedback on the contracting approach, conflict of interest provisions included in the original RFP and consultation requirements during the first phase of consultation in This input was included in the report to the March 31, 2017 GVS&DD Board. The Fraser Valley Regional District, the Township of Langley and the Waste Management Association of BC submitted correspondence to Metro Vancouver in the second phase of consultation; submissions are included in Attachment 1. The Fraser Valley Regional District and the Waste Management Association of BC s comments pertained primarily to the relationship between the contingency disposal procurement process and any plans for additional Waste-to-Energy in Metro Vancouver. The Township of Langley inquired about the scope and scale of contingency disposal requirements. ALTERNATIVES 1. That the GVS&DD Board authorize: a) a contract extension to Waste Management of Canada Corporation of up to $1,500,000; b) a contract extension to Republic Services of British Columbia, Inc. of up to $1,500,000; c) award of a standing offer contract to Waste Management Disposal Services of Oregon Incorporated at a value of up to $25,000,000 (exclusive of taxes) over a three-year term; d) award of a standing offer contract to Republic Services of British Columbia, Inc. at a value of up to $21,000,000 (exclusive of taxes) over a three-year term; and e) the Commissioner and Corporate Officer to execute the contracts. 2. That the Zero Waste Committee receive the report dated February 2, 2018 titled, Award of Contract from RFP No : Contingency Disposal Services Standing Offer Agreements and Approval of Contract Extensions for the Interim Contingency Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste for information and provide alternate direction to staff. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS If the Board approves Alternative 1, the current interim contingency disposal contracts with Waste Management and Republic will be extended until standing offer agreements are in place, and standing offer agreements will be executed to provide contingency disposal services for the next

40 Award of Contract from RFP No : Contingency Disposal Services Standing Offer Agreements and Approval of Contract Extensions for the Interim Contingency Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste Zero Waste Committee Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Page 5 of 5 three years. Extending the contingency disposal agreements for the additional two-year term allowed under the standing offer agreements would require future approval of the Board. Waste Management Inc. s contract price is higher than Republic s because of the additional transportation costs to the intermodal yard used by Waste Management Inc. in Seattle. Entering into two contracts rather than one provides redundancy and flexibility for contingency disposal services. Metro Vancouver s experience in 2017 was that increasing tonnage to a contractor could be impacted by availability of shipping containers and trucking capacity. By having two contractors in place, risk related to not being able to manage sufficient waste is minimized. Metro Vancouver continues to advance waste reduction and waste diversion in the region. A review of options for new waste-to-energy is also being initiated. These actions will reduce the amount of waste requiring landfill disposal over time. Consequently, contingency disposal is only expected to be required for the next few years. If the GVS&DD Board does not approve extending the interim agreements and entering into standing offers for contingency disposal, the region s ability to manage waste delivered into the Metro Vancouver/City of Vancouver disposal system would be impacted. SUMMARY / CONCLUSION The amount of waste that can be managed in the Metro Vancouver/City of Vancouver disposal system is restricted based the capacity of the Waste-to-Energy Facility and the Vancouver Landfill. Metro Vancouver initiated two procurement processes in 2017 to provide contingency disposal, an initial RFP for interim services and a request for standing offers for three-year agreements. Two proposals were received for both procurement processes. Staff recommend Alternative 1, that the Board approve extending the contracts for interim contingency disposal with Waste Management of Canada Corporation and Republic Services of British Columbia, Inc. up to $1,500,000 each, and that the Board approve entering into three-year standing offer agreements with Waste Management Disposal Services of Oregon Incorporated and Republic Services of British Columbia, Inc. of up to $25,000,000 and $21,000,000 respectively.

Would you mind providing a bit more clarity on the following: 1. You explained that the standing offer process is to provide pricing and potential facilities for taking MV waste should the additional capacity be required. Can a company use the potential waste to build a new in-region incinerator? Can an inregion cement kiln take the material? 2. Please explain why the process does not relate to Condition 3 of the approval of your SWMP. 3.

43 From: Sarah Wellman Sent: April :08 AM To: Lance Lilley Cc: Stacey Barker Subject: RE: MV's Contingency Disposal Plans Lance, Please see the following for answers to your questions. Please let me know if you need any other information. Sarah Is it possible that this process could lead to a company acquiring this material which could then be used as feedstock for an in-region incinerator? Under the Standing Offer process, Metro Vancouver makes no commitments to providing waste. The process simply provides pricing and approved facilities in the event that Metro Vancouver has waste requiring disposal beyond the capacity of the existing waste-to-energy facility and the Vancouver Landfill. How does this current consultation process regarding contingency disposal plans relate to Condition 3 of the approval of your SWMP? The consultation is not related to Condition 3. Would you be able to further define what is meant by remote disposal facilities? Disposal facilities located outside of the Metro Vancouver region. Is this latest process related to Metro Vancouver s plans to build a new in-region incinerator? Securing contingency disposal is contemplated in the Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan, and the current need relates to the cessation of shipment of waste to Cache Creek Landfill in How is this process related to the temporarily suspended procurement process that Metro was involved in a couple of years ago searching additional incineration capacity? See above From: Lance Lilley [mailto:llilley@fvrd.ca] Sent: Friday, April 21, :44 AM To: Sarah Wellman Cc: Stacey Barker Subject: MV's Contingency Disposal Plans Hi Sarah, Thank you for the brief chat this morning.

More details on the process and scope of services are available in this report. This current consultation process is designed to address the consultation requirements under Condition 2 of the Minister of Environment s approval of Metro Vancouver s Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan. Both the Metro Vancouver Waste to Energy Facility in Burnaby and the Vancouver Landfill in Delta are operating at capacity. Previously, Metro Vancouver was able to send excess municipal solid waste to the Cache Creek Landfill, however that closed in Early 2017 waste flow patterns suggest that 50,000-70,000 tonnes of contingency disposal capacity will be required this year. Metro Vancouver was directed by the Board to issue an RFP for contingency disposal in 2016, however no responses were received. This Standing Offer process should offer more flexibility to both Metro Vancouver and to waste management companies. This procurement is intended solely to manage regular municipal solid waste. There will be an open procurement process. To date, we have received interest from landfill operators located in BC, Alberta, Washington and Oregon. Thank you for your interest, please let me know if you have any additional questions. Sarah Sarah Wellman Senior Engineer Solid Waste Services t c

VSH 4G8 Sent via to: Paui.Henderson@metrovancouver.org Re: Comments on Metro Vancouver's Contingency Disposal Plans ATIN: Mr. Paul Henderson, General Manager of Solid Waste Services Dear Mr. Henderson: It is my understanding that Metro Vancouver is currently considering contingency disposal options for solid waste volumes that are beyond the capacity of the Vancouver Landfill and the Burnaby incinerator. Threeyear Standing Offer Agreements are being proposed for the pick-up of garbage at Metro Vancouver transfer stations and for the receipt of Metro Vancouver's garbage at sites located outside of the Metro Vancouver region. Public and stakeholder consultation is being sought so t hat the input collected can be considered as part of the recommendations for award of the Standing Offer Agreement. As you are aware, the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) is strongly opposed to any outcome that would involve municipal solid waste incinerated within our shared airshed. If a proponent uses this waste volume to assist in its ability to build a new in-region incinerator, or if an in-region kiln such as a cement plant receives approval to take the material, consultation must take place with the FVRD and Condition 3 of the approval granted to Metro Vancouver for their Solid Waste Management Plan would apply. The FVRD is exploring the development of mixed waste materials recovery capacity for our region. When such capacity is developed, I would hope that our regiona l districts can work together and that processors in our region would be able to accept contingency disposal volumes from Metro Vancouver to achieve further diversion and move toward our zero waste goals. If you require clarification or would like to discuss further, please do not hesitate to contact me at sbarker@fvrd.ca.

46 May 29, 2017 Metro Vancouver 4330 Kingsway Burnaby BC V5H 4G8 Attn: Contingency Disposal Plan Feedback We are currently awaiting further information on Metro Vancouver s efforts at securing required disposal capacity. Until that time we wanted to provide our associations feedback on this topic. Based on our association s members experience and successes in the waste management field both direct and indirect, and in keeping with the condition to the approval of the Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan, we suggest that Metro Vancouver simply commit to open market solutions and refrain from competing or otherwise influencing the market so long as solutions meet provincial criteria and regulations. We believe that this approach would provide the most cost effective and reliable service for Metro Vancouver s constituents and especially in the circumstance where the private sector has better environmental and more cost effective solutions. A case in point is the Vancouver Landfill which is situated in a sensitive environmental area and has no liner system versus competing landfills in dry climates with superior environmental protection systems. Again, based on our association s member experience and success in the waste management field, we would suggest that Metro Vancouver commit to open market solutions and not compete with and protect assets such as their transfer stations, the Vancouver Landfill, and the Burnaby Incinerator. This would also apply to any new assets being contemplated that are costly and put a burden on small businesses that pay for the bulk of Metro Vancouver s cost of running an inefficient system. We believe that this open market approach would provide the most cost effective, reliable, and highest environmental standard of service, for Metro Vancouver constituents and businesses.

47 Section E 2.3 To: From: Zero Waste Committee Andrew Marr, Director of Solid Waste Planning, Solid Waste Services Date: February 2, 2018 Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Subject: Contribution Agreement Recycling Council of British Columbia RECOMMENDATION That the GVS&DD Board approve entering into a three-year contribution agreement effective January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 with the Recycling Council of British Columbia for an amount of $65,000 in 2018, $66,500 in 2019, and $68,000 in PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to seek authority to enter into a three-year contribution agreement for services related to operation of the Recycling Hotline with the Recycling Council of British Columbia (RCBC), in support of the solid waste services function. BACKGROUND In 2014 the GVS&DD Board approved funding of $60,000 per year for a three-year period (2015, 2016 and 2017) to the Recycling Council of British Columbia. That agreement expired December 31, 2017, and a new three-year agreement is proposed. RCBC SERVICES The Recycling Council of British Columbia provides BC residents with information about the recycling and safe disposal options available in their communities, through the Recycling Hotline and website. In 2017, the RCBC Recycling Hotline responded to a total of 50,992 calls; of the total, 43,251 calls or 85% were from Lower Mainland residents and businesses seeking information about options for recycling specific material, including queries from residents and businesses seeking help in complying with regional disposal bans. While the Recycling Council also has online information available, often the more difficult recycling solutions require the use of the Hotline, and speaking to a knowledgeable staff person. Funds are used to hire staff and maintain a database of recycling information. The Recycling Council of British Columbia is a non-profit, registered charity, membership-driven organization. Contribution Agreement A new three-year agreement is proposed, with the following elements: The term would be from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020; Payments would be $65,000 in 2018, $66,500 in 2019, and $68,000 in The proposed annual rates allow for inflation at a rate of approximately 2% per year; RCBC would provide the Recycling Hotline (staffed call centre) and website to provide personalized, current information for Metro Vancouver residential and business queries on recycling options, disposal bans, and other waste and recycling issues; RCBC would provide annual reporting to summarize statistics and operating results for the prior calendar year;

48 Contribution Agreement Recycling Council of British Columbia Zero Waste Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Page 2 of 3 There is provision for early termination in the event of bankruptcy or the funds are used in a manner contrary to the agreement or not in the public s interest. Other RCBC Funding Partners According to the Recycling Council of British Columbia s most recent annual report, its overall budget is approximately $800,000 per year. In addition to Metro Vancouver, primary contributors to Recycling Council of British Columbia hotline services include the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy and various stewardship agencies. Approximately 15 regional districts in addition to Metro Vancouver also contribute to the cost of the Recycling Hotline. In total, more than 250 organizations, companies and individuals are Recycling Council of British Columbia members. Metro Vancouver maintains a separate annual service contract of approximately $19,000 with RCBC to operate a separate telephone hotline to answer queries and provide information to the public regarding the use and operation of regional transfer stations and disposal facilities. ALTERNATIVES 1. That the GVS&DD Board approve entering into a three-year contribution agreement effective January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 with the Recycling Council of British Columbia for an amount of $65,000 in 2018, $66,500 in 2019, and $68,000 in That the Zero Waste Committee receive the report dated February 2, 2018 titled, Contribution Agreement Recycling Council of British Columbia for information and provide alternate direction to staff. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS If the Board approves Alternative 1, Metro Vancouver will enter into a contribution agreement with the Recycling Council of British Columbia for the years 2018 to Metro Vancouver has been providing funding in support of the RCBC for the last number of years. Contributions to RCBC have been fixed at $60,000 per year since Increasing Metro Vancouver s contribution to $65,000 in 2018, $66,500 in 2019 and $68,000 in 2020 recognizes that the cost of delivering recycling hotline services has increased over time, and represents an annual inflationary increase of approximately 2%. If the Board does not approve entering into a contribution agreement with the Recycling Council of B.C., recycling hotline services could potentially be provided directly by Metro Vancouver, but the cost of providing the service directly by Metro Vancouver would exceed the proposed budget substantially. There are benefits in partnering with other agencies to provide information on recycling to the public and businesses. Funding to support RCBC is included in the 2018 budget as well as the five-year financial plan. SUMMARY / CONCLUSION The Recycling Council of British Columbia is a non-profit organization with which Metro Vancouver has worked for many years. One of the Recycling Council s key activities is to operate a Recycling Hotline with skilled staff to answer queries from residents and small businesses on all topics of waste reduction and recycling. This service of fielding public questions and providing waste reduction and recycling information supports the solid waste functions of the region and its member municipalities. The GVS&DD previously approved a three-year funding agreement for the Recycling Council which

58 Page 9 SCHEDULE A Recycling Council of BC RCBC Proposal ( ) GOAL GVS&DD s Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan includes improving regional recycling rates as part of the solution to reaching an 80% diversion rate by 2020 (currently about 62%). Surveys indicate that residents are looking for answers on where to take things that are not obviously collected curb-side (batteries, mattresses, paint etc). The Recipient delivers targeted and personalized recycling information to residents and businesses that directly support this goal. OBJECTIVE To arrange a secure funding source to ensure the Recycling Hotline program offered by the Recipient continue to support the recycling goals set by Metro Vancouver. THE PLAN This agreement will include payments of $65,000 in 2018, $66,500 in 2019, and $68,000 in In return, the Recipient offers personalized recycling information to residents and businesses. In addition, member municipalities are able to promote the Recycling Hotline service to their constituents without paying an additional fee. It is the responsibility of RCBC to ensure that the recycling information they provide is current and regularly updated, including programs offered by the region s municipalities, private businesses, Provincial EPR programs and any other in-region recycling program available to residents and businesses. In addition to the regular daily intake of calls to the Recycling Hotline, RCBC will provide extra support to businesses calling with questions about current regional disposal bans. RCBC Hotline staff will answer basic questions, and maintain a list of private businesses that offer applicable on-site recycling assistance. THE SERVICES The Recipient offers the following service, and has provided an estimate of the use of this service using 2016 data. Data is also collated by municipality and by item. Service Recycling Hotline (staffed call centre) Approximate access for the year ,425 GVS&DD has provided a portion of the Recipient s annual budget since 1991 (varying from 30K to 60K), in alignment with GVS&DD s solid waste plan goals to continuously improve the region s recycling rates.

60 Section E 2.4 To: From: Zero Waste Committee Karen Storry, Senior Project Engineer, Solid Waste Services Date: February 2, 2018 Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Subject: Regional Single-Use Item Reduction Strategy Research and Consultation RECOMMENDATION That the GVS&DD Board approve initiating consultation on a regional single-use item reduction strategy as outlined in the report dated February 2, 2018, titled Regional Single-Use Item Reduction Strategy Research and Consultation. PURPOSE The purpose of the report is to seek Board approval to initiate consultation on development of a regional strategy to reduce single-use items. BACKGROUND On October 30, 2017, the GVS&DD Board approved the following recommendation: That the GVS&DD Board direct staff to determine actions to reduce waste from Single-Use Items that are best done on a regional level. Single-use items that have been identified as important targets for waste reduction include disposable cups, take-out containers and plastic and paper shopping bags. Reducing waste from single-use items aligns with the goals of Metro Vancouver s Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan. Since the Board approved identifying actions to reduce single-use item waste, staff have conducted an initial review of regional data, research and actions best done at the regional level and are now seeking approval to consult on potential elements of a regional single-use item reduction strategy as outlined in this report. REGIONAL SINGLE-USE ITEM REDUCTION STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT Based on research and analysis to date, staff have identified a number of potential actions that could be the basis of a regional single-use item reduction strategy. Determining which actions to take at a regional level will require further research and consultation. Metro Vancouver is proposing to conduct additional research and engagement with member jurisdiction staff in the first half of 2018, followed by a broader consultation with other stakeholders in the second half of Staff anticipate reporting back to the Board on a regional strategy for consideration in late 2018 or early Potential Regional Actions Significant reduction of single-use items across the region will require a suite of actions, including possible educational, behavioral change and regulatory components over the shorter and longer terms. Confirming targeted single-use items will also be an important component of any strategy. Table 1 summarizes potential regional actions identified by staff.

61 Single-Use Item Reduction Strategy Research and Consultation Zero Waste Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Page 2 of 3 Table 1 Potential Regional Actions for Consultation Potential Action Education and Promotion for Business and Residents. Development and dissemination of education and behavior change resources including guides and best practices. Reusable dishware, containers and cup exchanges. Explore options to increase use of reusable items. Could include programs, pilots and/or policies to encourage reuse and/or exchange programs for containers and cups. Fees, discounts or deposits. Identify options to implement fees, discounts or deposits on singleuse items. Disposal ban. Implement a disposal ban for single-use items. Require recyclable or compostable items. Consider requirements for use of recyclable and/or compostable materials for single-use items. Restrict sale and use. Explore options to restrict sale of specific single-use items. Future Research Further research is needed to assess which regional actions are most effective to reduce waste from single-use items. To build on research already done by member jurisdictions, staff will: review approaches in other jurisdictions; analyze and expand existing data on the use, recycling and disposal of single-use Items; explore technical feasibility and legal authority as implementing some of these actions may require new or expanded authority for the region; and evaluate economic, environmental and social impacts of potential actions. Consultation Metro Vancouver will consult with other levels of government, member jurisdictions, businesses, organizations and residents with an interest in single-use items, to discuss regional goals and develop a regional strategy for single-use item waste reduction. Consultations may include a website, webinars, workshops and meetings and will focus on: priority single-use items; goals, targets and regional actions; implementation approach; potential barriers and impacts; and timeline. ALTERNATIVES 1. That the GVS&DD Board approve initiating research and consultation on a regional single-use item reduction strategy as outlined in the report dated February 2, 2018, titled Regional Single-Use Item Reduction Strategy Research and Consultation. 2. That the Zero Waste Committee receive for information the report dated February 2, 2018, titled Regional Single-Use Item Reduction Strategy Research and Consultation and provide alternate direction to staff.

62 Single-Use Item Reduction Strategy Research and Consultation Zero Waste Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Page 3 of 3 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Cost to undertake research and consultation activities are expected to be minimal; any staff resources and costs have been included in the 2018 budget. Financial implications of any actions both to Metro Vancouver and others would be identified and brought forward as part of a regional strategy. SUMMARY / CONCLUSION In October 2017, the Board approved proceeding with work to determine actions to reduce waste from single-use items that are best done at a regional level. Further research and stakeholder consultation are planned throughout 2018 to develop a regional single-use item reduction strategy. Significant reduction of single-use items across the region will require a suite of actions, including possible educational, behavioral change and regulatory components over the shorter and longer terms. Staff anticipate reporting back to the Board on a regional strategy for consideration in late 2018 or early

63 Section G 1.1 To: From: Utilities Committee Fred Nenninger, Director, Policy, Planning & Analysis, Liquid Waste Services Date: January 23, 2018 Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Subject: Creation of GVS&DD s Sewerage and Drainage Areas Boundaries Bylaw, No. 310, 2018 RECOMMENDATION That the GVS&DD Board: a) give first, second and third reading to Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Sewerage and Drainage Areas Boundaries Bylaw, No. 310, 2018; and b) pass, and finally adopt Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Sewerage and Drainage Areas Boundaries Bylaw, No. 310, PURPOSE To seek Board approval of GVS&DD s Sewerage and Drainage Areas Boundaries Bylaw, No. 310, 2018 (Attachment 1) which will set sewer area boundaries by bylaw for future amendments. BACKGROUND This report is before the Board to improve upon an existing Board resolution process for sewerage and drainage area amendments. Metro Vancouver provides regional sewerage and drainage services to GVS&DD member municipalities. For a property to receive sewerage services, it must be located within one of Metro Vancouver s Sewerage Areas. Sewerage area boundaries are occasionally amended in accordance with Sections 31 and 32 of the GVS&DD Act: 31) The Corporation may from time to time establish and fix the boundaries of the sewerage and drainage areas required to carry out its objects, and may from time to time disestablish or alter the boundaries of such sewerage and drainage areas. 32) The Corporation, on establishing a sewerage or drainage area, shall file in the Land Registry Office of the land registration district in which the lands comprised therein are situated a plan showing such sewerage or drainage area, and, on disestablishing or altering the boundaries of a sewerage or drainage area, shall in like manner file an amended plan showing the sewerage or drainage area as disestablished or altered. Each such plan or amended plan shall be sent to the member municipality in which the sewerage or drainage area is situated. To date, the sewerage and drainage area plans to be amended were not specified in a GVS&DD bylaw, but proceeded through individual adoptions by Board resolutions. The bylaw will amend the existing Board resolution process and is a more formal means to fix the boundaries of the sewerage and drainage areas required to carry out the objects of the corporation. The area boundaries established through this bylaw become the new starting point for all future boundary amendments, thus providing a formal and clear process.

64 Creation of GVS&DD s Sewerage and Drainage Areas Boundaries Bylaw, No. 310, 2018 Utilities Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Page 2 of 2 CURRENT PROCESS TO AMEND A SEWERAGE AREA BOUNDARY The current process is specified in Implementation Guideline #7 Extension of Regional Sewerage Services, Metro Vancouver Applications for connection to regional sewerage services must be initiated by a resolution of the respective municipal council. Upon receipt of the application, Metro Vancouver Liquid Waste Services staff complete an initial technical screening review, and forward the application to Metro Vancouver Regional Planning staff to assess consistency with Metro The MVRD Board then determines if the application meets the provisions of Metro 2040 and if so, the resulting MVRD Board resolution is sent to the GVS&DD Board for a final decision subject to a technical review of the application. The GVS&DD technical review includes assessing effects on service levels, financial and operational impacts. PROPOSED BYLAW Under Section 31 of the GVS&DD Act, the GVS&DD may establish and fix, or amend the boundaries of the sewerage and drainage areas required to carry out its objects. This Bylaw will fix the boundaries of the sewerage and drainage areas as shown on the plans referred to in section 3.1 (a) to (d) and 4.1 including all resolutions of the Administration Board amending the boundaries of the Sewerage and Drainage Areas to date of adoption of this Bylaw, and as may be amended by the Board from time to time. As required in Section 32 of the GVS&DD Act, a copy of the plans referred to in this Bylaw have been filed with the Land Title and Survey Authority of BC, and future amendments will be filed with the Land Title and Survey Authority of BC. ALTERNATIVES 1. That the GVS&DD Board: a. give first, second and third reading to Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Sewerage and Drainage Areas Boundaries Bylaw, No. 310, 2018; and b. pass, and finally adopt Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Sewerage and Drainage Areas Boundaries Bylaw, No. 310, That the Utilities Committee receive the report for information and provide alternate direction to staff. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial impacts to the GVS&DD or its members as this is an administrative process change. SUMMARY / CONCLUSION Under Section 31 of the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage Act, the GVS&DD may establish and fix, or amend the boundaries of the sewerage and drainage areas required to carry out its objects. This Bylaw will fix the boundaries of the sewerage and drainage areas as shown on the respective plans. The bylaw may be amended by the Board from time to time, and a copy of the plans are filed with the Land Title and Survey Authority of BC.

BACKGROUND Metro Vancouver received a council resolution from the City of Delta requesting an amendment of the FSA to include the property located at 7672 Progress Way. Metro Vancouver provides regional sewerage services to GVS&DD member municipalities. For a municipal property to receive sewerage services, it must be located within one of Metro Vancouver s Sewerage Areas. Sewerage area boundaries were fixed by the GVS&DD s Sewerage and Drainage Areas Boundaries Bylaw, No. 310, Sewerage areas are occasionally amended through an amending bylaw and in accordance with Sections 31 and 32 of the GVS&DD Act, typically at the request of a GVS&DD member. METRO 2040 CONSIDERATION Following adoption of Metro 2040 (the Regional Growth Strategy) in 2011, Metro Vancouver procedures regarding the amendment of regional sewer services are subject to the provisions of Metro Therefore, any requests from member municipalities to amend a GVS&DD sewerage area must be presented to the Metro Vancouver Regional District (MVRD) Board for consideration of consistency with the provisions of Metro Once consistency with Metro 2040 has been established, the decision to amend the sewerage area rests with the GVS&DD Board, subject to technical considerations. The following summarizes the considerations for this boundary amendment: Metro Vancouver received a council resolution from Delta requesting an amendment of the FSA to include the property located at 7672 Progress Way

80 Section G To: Zero Waste Committee From: Paul Henderson, General Manager, Solid Waste Services Date: February 2, 2018 Subject: Generator Levy Proposed Revisions and Regulatory Framework Update 2.1 Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 RECOMMENDATION That the GVS&DD Board: a) approve amending the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Bylaw No. 306, 2017 to ensure the Generator Levy is paid only once for Municipal Solid Waste from residential and commercial/institutional sources delivered to a private facility licensed by Metro Vancouver that recovers resources or produces fuel from that waste; b) give first, second and third reading to Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Amending Bylaw No. 312, 2018; and c) pass and finally adopt Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Amending Bylaw No. 312, PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to propose amendments to the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Bylaw No. 306, 2017 (Tipping Fee Bylaw) to ensure that the Generator Levy is paid only once for Municipal Solid Waste from residential and commercial/institutional sources (Mixed Municipal Solid Waste) delivered to a private facility licensed by Metro Vancouver that recovers resources or produces fuel from Mixed Municipal Solid Waste (referred to in this report as a Qualified Private Facility ) and provide an update on communications related to the solid waste regulatory framework initiatives. BACKGROUND On November 24, 2017, the GVS&DD Board approved the following recommendations: a) give first, second and third reading to Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Amending Bylaw No. 308, 2017; and b) pass and finally adopt Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Amending Bylaw No. 308, By approving these recommendations the Board amended the Tipping Fee Bylaw to implement the Generator Levy effective January 1, The Generator Levy ensures that all generators of Mixed Municipal Solid Waste contribute to the fixed costs of Metro Vancouver s transfer station network and solid waste planning, services that benefit all waste generators in the region. The Generator Levy is included in the tipping fee charged at Metro Vancouver and City of Vancouver disposal facilities (Regional Facilities) and does not increase the total cost of disposal at these facilities. The Generator Levy is required to be remitted by

81 Generator Levy Proposed Revisions and Regulatory Framework Update Zero Waste Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Page 2 of 5 haulers to Metro Vancouver for any Mixed Municipal Solid Waste delivered to facilities other than Regional Facilities. The Generator Levy is set at $40 per tonne for In late November, 2017, Metro Vancouver received letters from local cement kilns and the Cement Association of Canada asserting that applying the Generator Levy to Mixed Municipal Solid Waste delivered to facilities processing the Mixed Municipal Solid Waste for energy recovery in cement kilns would be a barrier to the development of such facilities (Attachment 1). During the Generator Levy consultation process, similar feedback was received from stakeholders in connection with material recovery facilities designed to recover recyclable materials from Mixed Municipal Solid Waste. Barriers to the development of these types of facilities could reduce opportunities to advance waste diversion in the region. This report proposes revisions to the Tipping Fee Bylaw to respond to the concerns expressed by the cement industry and others. GENERATOR LEVY REBATE Under the Tipping Fee Bylaw, if Mixed Municipal Solid Waste originating from within the geographic area of the GVS&DD is delivered to a facility other than a Regional Facility, haulers are required to collect and remit the Generator Levy to Metro Vancouver. It is possible that the Generator Levy could be paid twice on some Mixed Municipal Solid Waste: once when the waste is collected from generators and delivered to a private facility, and then again when the residual waste from that private facility is delivered to a Regional Facility (because the Generator Levy is a component of the Tipping Fee charged at Regional Facilities). To resolve this issue, staff propose that the Tipping Fee Bylaw be amended to provide a rebate of the Generator Levy for residual waste delivered to Regional Facilities from Qualified Private Facilities. The rebate model would operate as follows: A Qualified Private Facility must: o hold a valid and subsisting solid waste facility license issued by Metro Vancouver pursuant to Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Solid Waste and Recyclable Material Regulatory Bylaw 181, 1996 (Bylaw 181); and o reduce incoming Mixed Municipal Solid Waste by a minimum of 25% (this reflects the minimum recovery/reduction rate for private facilities processing Mixed Municipal Solid Waste under proposed updates to Bylaw 181) calculated on a monthly basis. A Qualified Private Facility owner/operator applying for a rebate must: o certify that all of the residual waste for which the rebate is claimed is from the specified Qualified Private Facility; o document on a load by load basis the hauler, date and weight of Mixed Municipal Solid Waste originally received at the Qualified Private Facility; and o document the destination, date, material type and quantity of each load leaving the Qualified Private Facility. Metro Vancouver will rebate up to a maximum of 75% of the value of the Generator Levy received by Metro Vancouver for Mixed Municipal Solid Waste delivered to the Qualified Private Facility.

82 Generator Levy Proposed Revisions and Regulatory Framework Update Zero Waste Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Page 3 of 5 The proposed amending bylaw (Attachment 2) implements the proposed changes to the Tipping Fee Bylaw. A black-lined bylaw to show proposed changes to the Generator Levy is also included as Attachment 3. Regulatory Framework Communications Update On November 24, 2017, the GVS&DD Board approved bylaws related to the Generator Levy, Commercial Waste Hauler Licensing and updates to Bylaw 181, the bylaw regulating private solid waste facilities. Bylaw 181 updates and the Commercial Waste Hauler Licensing bylaw require approval of the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy prior to final adoption. On December 22, 2017, letters were sent to the Minister requesting approval of the bylaws (Attachment 4). Included with the letters were consultation program reports detailing feedback, written correspondence up to November 24, 2017, meeting summaries, participant lists and a summary of consultation input received and Metro Vancouver responses. These are posted on the Metro Vancouver website at by searching Hauler Licensing and Bylaw 181 Updates. At its November meeting, the Board also approved writing to Regional Districts around the province requesting support for Commercial Waste Hauler Licensing. A letter to all Regional Districts in the Province is included as Attachment 5. To assist stakeholders with the implementation of the Generator Levy, Metro Vancouver has provided updates on its website, issued two notices to stakeholders and has met and corresponded with a number of stakeholders on request. The most recent Generator Levy notice issued to waste haulers on January 25, 2018 is included in Attachment 6. In addition to the correspondence received by the cement industry (Attachment 1), other stakeholders have written to Metro Vancouver and the Minister of Environment and Climate Change regarding Metro Vancouver s regulatory framework initiatives. Correspondence received between November 23, 2017 and January 27, 2018 is included in Attachment 7. A number of entities including two product stewardship agencies have now communicated support for the solid waste regulatory framework. Metro Vancouver has responded to all correspondence received. ALTERNATIVES 1. That the GVS&DD Board: a) approve amending the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Bylaw No. 306, 2017 to ensure the Generator Levy is paid only once for Municipal Solid Waste from residential and commercial/institutional sources delivered to a private facility licensed by Metro Vancouver that recovers resources or produces fuel from that waste; b) give first, second and third reading to Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Amending Bylaw No. 312, 2018; and c) pass and finally adopt Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Amending Bylaw No. 312, That the Zero Waste Committee receive for information the report dated February 2, 2018 titled, Generator Levy Proposed Revisions and Regulatory Framework Update and provide alternate direction to staff.

83 Generator Levy Proposed Revisions and Regulatory Framework Update Zero Waste Committee Regular Meeting Date: February 8, 2018 Page 4 of 5 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS If the Board approves Alternative 1, the Tipping Fee Bylaw will be amended to ensure the Generator Levy is only paid once for waste delivered to a Qualified Private Facility. A number of alternative approaches were identified to respond to the concerns of the cement industry and other stakeholders. Staff concluded that the recommended approach outlined above was the most appropriate option for a number of reasons, including: the approach is consistent with the philosophy that all generators of Mixed Municipal Solid Waste in the region contribute to the fixed costs of the transfer station network and solid waste planning; the approach is consistent with GVS&DD s authority under the GVS&DD Act; an alternative approach that exempts some generators of Mixed Municipal Solid Waste from the Generator Levy has the potential to undermine the region s success with source separation, which would be inconsistent with the goals of the Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan; and if some generators of Mixed Municipal Solid Waste are exempted from the Generator Levy, then all other generators would need to pay more because the fixed costs of transfer stations and solid waste planning would be funded by fewer tonnes of Mixed Municipal Solid Waste. If the GVS&DD Board does not approve the proposed amendments to the Tipping Fee Bylaw, waste delivered to a Qualified Private Facility may be subject to the Generator Levy twice. No such facility is operating today, but it is possible that a facility could be developed in the future. SUMMARY / CONCLUSION The Board approved implementing the Generator Levy on November 24, 2017, effective January 1, Some stakeholders expressed concern that applying the Generator Levy to Mixed Municipal Solid Waste delivered to a Qualified Private Facility that recovers resources or produces fuel from the Mixed Municipal Solid Waste could create a barrier to the potential future development of such facilities. Currently, if Mixed Municipal Solid Waste is delivered to a licensed private facility, the hauler is required to pay the Generator Levy to Metro Vancouver. Residual waste from the private facility may also be subject to the Generator Levy if the residual is delivered to a Regional Facility because the Generator Levy is a component of the overall Tipping Fee. Staff recommend Alternative 1, that the GVS&DD Board approve amending the Tipping Fee Bylaw to ensure the Generator Levy is only paid once for Mixed Municipal Solid Waste delivered to a Qualified Private Facility. Under this alternative, Metro Vancouver would provide a rebate for residual waste from a Qualified Private Facility delivered to a Regional Facility as outlined in the proposed amending bylaw. The rebate on the residual would be equal to the value of the Generator Levy already paid on the incoming material, subject to conditions in the proposed amending bylaw. Other approaches to respond to this concern have been reviewed. Alternative 1 is the most equitable approach and would help ensure that the development of any facility that recovers resources or produces fuel from Mixed Municipal Solid Waste does not undermine source separation in the region.

85 November 22, 2017 Carol Mason Chief Administrative Officer Metro Vancouver 4730 Kingsway Burnaby, BC V5H 0C6 Dear Carol, Re : Metro Vancouver s New Waste Generator Levy The Lafarge Richmond Plant has been working to reduce the carbon footprint of its cement plant operations over the past 10 years through co-processing, the process of utilizing waste as a thermal energy source or raw material. We have worked together with Metro Vancouver on permitting low carbon fuels (LCF) for our kiln for many years and are concerned about Metro Vancouver s new Waste Generator Levy, being amended by way of Amending Bylaw No. 308, Lafarge respects the regional waste hierarchy and seeks to use its assets to be a part of the solution. The plant is planning on breaking ground for a new Alternate Fuel System in 2018 that will give the plant the ability to co-process 50% LCF into the cement kiln. The LCF is comprised primarily of non-recyclable waste byproducts; waste that does not have an existing or economically viable recycling outlet and is bound for landfills. Achieving a LCF substitution of 50% will allow Lafarge to divert approximately 100,000 tonnes per year of waste from local landfills. With an ever growing population, co-processing of waste is the future to waste management and waste disposal because the direct benefits can be seen in the reduced need for incineration or landfilling of waste. Achieving a 50% substitution will also significantly reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the cement manufacturing process. The $40/tonne generator levy for municipal solid waste (MSW) does not discriminate and is applied across to all businesses, whether or not they are diverting waste from landfills. Lafarge s cement kiln is uniquely positioned as an option for recovering the combustible fractions of MSW once all recycling options are exhausted. We feel that this levy would have a stifling effect on the future development of higher uses for MSW and encourage continued landfilling. We bring this issue to your attention and recommend that consideration be given to revising this bylaw accordingly in order to account for preparation and consumption of MSW in cement LAFARGE CANADA INC.

Box 950 V4K 3S6 Tel (604) Fax (604) November 23, 2017 Carol Mason Chief Administrative Officer Metro Vancouver 4730 Kingsway Burnaby, BC V5H 0C6 Subject: Metro Vancouver s Generator Levy Dear Ms. Mason, Lehigh Cement is concern over Metro Vancouver s new generator levy as proposed in the GVS&DD Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Amending Bylaw No. 308, We only learned of the proposal in October and missed the opportunity to participate in the formal consultation this past summer. We would like to take this opportunity to provide our comments. The proposed generator levy of $40 per tonne of municipal waste will have a negative impact on Lehigh s business operation. The municipal waste can be processed into a low carbon alternative fuel source for cement kilns. The benefit for this alternative fuel would include a displacement of fossil fuels such as coal resulting in a reduction of GHG emissions and other pollutants. In fact Lehigh has built an alternative fuel handling system in our Delta plant facility that would be able to take some of the municipal solid waste streams after processing. The levy would jeopardize current and future opportunities for alternative fuels as suppliers and investors will incur an extra cost in their processing of municipal waste. It will discourage future ventures of constructing waste processing facilities that would provide a cost effective low carbon fuel product. Unfortunately for businesses such as Lehigh this would result in the continued dependence on fossil fuels, minimal reduction of GHG emissions and lost opportunities to reach Metro Vancouver s climate action goals. Lehigh Cement asks that Metro Vancouver re-evaluate the consequences of this new levy and how it will affect all businesses from generators and haulers to alternative fuel suppliers and end users such as cement kilns. Yours truly, Kent Stuehmer, P.Eng. Vice President of Cement Operations

88 November 23, 2017 Carol Mason Chief Administrative Officer Metro Vancouver 4730 Kingsway Burnaby, BC V5H 0C6 Re: Metro Vancouver s New Waste Generator Levy Dear Ms Mason, We write to you on the topic of the Metro Vancouver s new Waste Generator Levy, being implemented by way of Amending Bylaw No. 308, Along with our industry members, Lafarge Canada Inc. and Lehigh Hanson Materials Ltd. we have some concerns with the potential impacts of this bylaw. As we have previously discussed, the cement industry is currently using selected non-recyclable wastes as alternative and lower-carbon fuels. This allows for the reduction in the amount of fossil fuel that is required in the cement manufacturing process, and consequently a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Our specific concern is the financial provision in the bylaw which will require every waste generator to pay Metro Vancouver $40 per tonne of municipal solid waste (residential, commercial and lightindustrial), regardless of where that waste may ultimately be directed. There are several firms currently exploring the opportunity to process and prepare alternative fuels from selected fractions of municipal solid waste that is now either being landfilled or disposed at Metro Vancouver s Waste-to-Energy plant. These firms are planning to establish local processing facilities that will be able to produce materials to be used by the cement and other industries as alternatives to higher carbon-intensity fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas. However, this generator levy appears to support the status-quo continued landfilling and incineration in the region. Instead, we should indeed continue to support waste reduction and source-separated recycling, while at the same time also providing incentives for business to help divert institutional, commercial and light industrial (ICI) wastes away from landfill. Pulling out higher calorific value materials that can not be recycled for use as alternative fuels in existing facilities is preferable to landfilling them, both from a resource and a greenhouse gas perspective. The new $40 a tonne fee on all waste does not help to foster the innovation and investment that is needed to reduce the amount of waste that we dispose as a society. The generator fee and bylaw will establish a financial dis-incentive or penalty to those firms that are considering diverting waste from disposal. As currently set out, this bylaw will result in an effective $40 surcharge (in 2018) to such businesses. We bring this issue to your attention and recommend that due consideration be given to revising the bylaw accordingly in order to address this anomaly. 2 Suite 900, 1188 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 4A2 Tel: (604) Greater Vancouver Sewerage & Drainage District

89 Metro Vancouver s New Waste Generator Levy Cement Association of Canada Our common objective and top priority should be to reduce waste, and follow that with reuse and recycling. However, once those first 3Rs have been exhausted, we trust that opportunities for our industry to collaborate with Metro Vancouver and local businesses to help divert waste from landfill disposal and reduce greenhouse gas emissions would be supported and not incur undue financial penalties.

A certified copy of the resolution is included as Attachment 2, a certified copy of Amending Bylaw 309 is included as Attachment 3, a black-lined version of Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Solid Waste and Recyclable Material Regulatory Bylaw No. 181, 2017 is included as Attachment 4, and the Bylaw 181 Review Consultation Program : Report on Activities and Feedback from July November 24, 2017 is included as Attachment 5. Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan Metro Vancouver's Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan was approved by the Minister of Environment in July The Plan targets 70% waste diversion in all municipal solid waste sectors by 2015 and 80% by At the end of 2016, the region had achieved 62% diversion. Bylaw 181, adopted and amended in 1996, is an important tool to enhance diversion through regulation of the management of Municipal Solid Waste and Recyclable Materia l at private sector faci lities in Metro Vancouver through the issuance and enforcement of Solid Waste Licenses Kingsway, Burnaby, BC, Canada VSH OC6 I I metrovancouver.019 I Gr~Le1 v.'""rn, l Wate1 Oisllict I Gr11ater Vaocouver,md D1aHlage Greater Vancouver Sewerage &Sewerage Drainage DistrictD1s1nr.1 I Metro Vancouver Housm9 Ct1rp<l1lltr<>11 l\llel1o Vancou er Regional D1sl11cl

121 The Honourable George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy GVS&DD Solid Waste and Recyclable Material Regulatory Amending Bylaw No. 309, 2017 Page 2 of S Approximately SO facilities managing a range of source separated recyclable materials and construction and demolition materials are operating with licenses under Bylaw 181. Amending Bylaw 309 Bylaw 181 has been in place without any changes since Updates in the amended bylaw will modernize the regulation of these facilities, increase recycling, and ensure a level playing field. Below is an overview of the updates to Bylaw 181: Modernizing t he types of facilities that require licenses to ensure that all facilities managing regulated materials are licensed under the bylaw; Creating a new simplified license for some facilities that were previously exempt from licensing; Specifying a minimum 25% recovery/reduction rate for any facility receiving Mixed Municipal Solid Waste (municipal solid waste from residential and commercial/institutional sources); Revising the definition of Recyclable Material to be consist ent with the Env;ronmenta/ Management Act; Revising and clarifying the existing exclusions and exemptions; and Setting a maximum facility licence term of 10 years, with rights of renewal where cond itions are met. Considering feedback from stakeholders, changes and clarifications were made in a number of areas to the approach identified in July reports to the Zero Waste Committee and Board. Key changes and cla rifications included: Specifying a 10-year maximum license term instead of the initial proposal of a 5-year term; Specifying streamlined renewal requirements for facilities With licenses expiring after 10 years; Keeping licensing and enforcement within Metro Vancouver's Environmental Regulation and Enforcement group rather than moving it to the Solid Waste Services group; and Clarifying a number of licensing exemptions, including exemptions related to the management of Extended Producer Responsibility materials. Options for changing the Bylaw 181 appeal process were identified and considered, but the Board approved maintaining the current process of appeals to the GVS&DD Commissioner. The GVS&DD must ultimately be accountable for its decisions and cannot delegate the authority granted to it under the Environmental Management Act with respect to the content of bylaws or setting the terms and conditions of licences. Any appeal decisions continue to be reviewable through the Judicial Review process. The Bylaw 181 appeal process is supplemented by the Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan Dispute Resolution Procedure approved by the Board on September 23, 2016 that allows for non-binding mediation.

Updates to Bylaw 181 level the playing field for facilities managing recyclable materials and municipal solid waste by ensuring different types of facilities managing regulated materials are licensed while clarifying exemptions in the Bylaw. A new maximum license term of 10 years will help ensure that as technology improves and regulatory requirements evolve those changes can be effectively integrated into facility license requirements. New requirements for facilities managing Mixed Municipal Solid Waste will ensure that such facilities help advance the Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan goal of reducing waste to landfill following recycling and recovery efforts. If you have an interest in discussing proposed changes to Bylaw 181, we would be happy to meet with you in person. Thank you for your consideration of this important waste management issue.

126 George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Str ategy Request for Approval of GVS&DD Commerrial Waste Hauler Licensing Bylaw No. 307, 2017 Page 2 o f 6 The ISWRMP targets 70% waste diversion in all municipal solid waste sectors by 2015 and 80% by At the end of 2016, the region had achieved 62% diversion. Enhancing diversion in the multifam ily and commercial/institutional sector is critical to achieving diversion targets. The ISWRMP reflects the internationally recognised waste management hierarchy - priority for waste reduction, then reuse, then recycling 1 then resource recovery, and last of all, disposal. The ISWRMP prioritises separating at source as the most effective means of recycling. The ISWRMP contemplates hauler licensing on page 15: Metro Vancouver may choose to act to reduce the flow of waste to unauthorized facilities which may undermine the waste reduction and diversion goals of this Plan. These flow control initiatives include but are not limited to: SpUt fee bylaw Franchising of waste collection services Licensing of waste collection service providers Commercial Waste Hauler Licensing License threshold. Bylaw 307 would require that all Commercial Waste Haulers collecting more than 10 tonnes per month of municipal solid waste from residential and commercial/institutional sources using mechanically-unloaded vehicles apply for a Commercial Waste Hauler License. Currently, Metro Vancouver estimates that less than SO haulers currently operating within the Metro Vancouver region would require licenses under the proposed regime. The application and annual license fee for the Commercial Waste Hauler License would be $100 per company, which equals the estimated administrative costs of the program. Recycling Containers. The Commercial Waste Hauler License would require haulers to provide recycling containers at each of their customer's premises, unless recycling containers are provided by a third party. Ensuring recycling containers are provided for all multi-family and commercial generators in the region will bolster source separation practices and will help increase recycling rates in th is sector and level the playing field for waste and recycling collectors around the region. The GVS&DD has taken this approach because it has the authority to regulate haulers directly under the applicable legislation. It is also one of the most efficient means to ensure that the multi-family and commercial sectors, which currently have the lowest diversion rates and are serviced predominantly by private haulers, have the practical opportunity and a strong incentive to recycle and divert waste. Record Keeping. Commercial Waste Haulers that deliver all of the residential and commercial/institutional waste they collect to Metro Vancouver and City of Vancouver facilities would be required to keep records related to waste quantities collected and delivery locations. These are records typically kept by Commercial Waste Haulers, and no new types of records would be required. These haulers would provide a declaration annually that all residential and commercial/institutional waste has been delivered to Metro Vancouver and City of Vancouver facilities. No extra administrative effort will be required other t han the effort to complete an annual license renewal application (similar to a municipal business license application) and to complete a waste delivery declaration.

127 George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy Request for Approval of GVS&DD Commercial Waste Hauler Licensing Bylaw No. 307, 2017 Page 3 of 6 Supports the Generator Levy. Commercial Waste Hauler Licensing would also support collection of the Generator levy (discussed in detail below). If Commercial Waste Haulers deliver residential and commercial/institutional waste to facilities other than Metro Vancouver and City of Vancouver facilities, they will be required to report waste quantities and delivery locations. Hauler licensing will therefore help ensure that all waste generators In the region contribute to the cost of the public transfer stations and solid waste planning and thus support services that benefit the entire region. Generator levy At its November 24, 2017 meeting, the Board also approved the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Amending Bylaw No. 308, 2017 (Bylaw 308). Bylaw 308 implements a Generator levy (referred to as a split fee bylaw in the ISWRMP) by amending the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Bylaw No. 306 (2018 Tipping Fee Bylaw). Bylaw 308 is effective January l, 2018 and does not require approval of the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy because it is a bylaw authorized under the GVS&DD Act. In line with the ISWRMP's recognition of priority for recycling and source separation, there is no Generator Levy for recyclable materials that are separated out at source. By encouraging source separation, the bylaw provides incentives and opportunities for recycling and waste reduction, and encourages innovative practices relating to separation of recyclables and increased diversion. The Generator Levy has been set at $40/tonne for 2018 and, as set out in the 2018 Tipping Fee Bylaw, is calculated on the basis of the budgeted fixed costs of operating the regional transfer stations and solid waste planning. The Generator Levy will be a component of the Tipping Fee for waste delivered to Metro Vancouver and City of Vancouver disposal facilities, and will not affect the cost of disposal at those facilities. For waste from residential and commercial/institutional sources delivered to facilities other than Metro Vancouver and City of Vancouver facilities, haulers will be required to collect the Generator Levy from customers and remit it to Metro Vancouver. The Generator Levy does not apply to source separated recyclables or construction and demolition waste. Setting the Generator Levy as part of the Tipping Fee Bylaw is appropriate because, for waste delivered to Metro Vancouver and City of Vancouver disposal facilities, the Generator Levy is a component of the Tipping Fee. Additionally, the Generator Levy is expected to grow from $40 to approximately $50 per tonne over the next five years as waste quantities diminish and new transfer station capital investments are made. The Generator levy would be reviewed annually at the time the Tipping Fee Bylaw is amended or replaced. The Generator Levy ensures that all waste generators contribute to the fixed costs of the region's transfer stations and solid waste planning. These services benefit all waste generators in the region through a coordinated regional policy approach to waste disposal, waste reduction and recycling and an accessible and convenient transfer station network that encourages recycling through Metro Vancouver's Disposa l Ban Program and a range of recycling services provided at the transfer stations.

128 George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy Request for Approval of GVS&DD Commercial Waste Hauler Licensing Bylaw No. 301, 2011 Page 4 of 6 In communications leading up to the Board's approval of the Generator Levy, some stakeholders, including local cement kilns, the Cement Association of Canada, and proponents of mixed waste recovery systems expressed concern that the Generator Levy may reduce opportunities to develop innovative ways to extract energy or recyclables from municipal solid waste. We understand their concern is that their customers would still be liable to pay the Generator Levy on the mixed municipal solid waste they produce, despite the fact that some of that waste may ultimately be recovered from the waste stream. As such, the full financial benefit of diverting waste from disposal would not be passed on to their customers. Currently no such municipal solid waste resource recovery operations exist in British Columbia and only a small number exist within North America. Those systems that do exist are primarily intended as an alternative to source separation. It is therefore uncertain the extent to which such private sector systems could potentially reduce waste in the Metro Vancouver region, or whether these systems would become a barrier to recycling at source. Metro Vancouver is however open to reexamining the application of the Generator Levy to generators that successfully divert waste through resource recovery. Engagement and Consultation The Board approved initiating consultation on Commercial Waste Hauler Licensing and the Generator Levy on July 28, The reports recommending initiating consultation and outlining the proposed regulatory model were posted publicly on July 7, 2017 as part of the July 13, 2017 Zero Waste Committee agenda.

Metro Vancouver's Commercial Waste Hauler Licensing bylaw wou ld help increase waste diversion by requiring Commercia l Waste Haulers in Metro Vancouver to ensure recycling containers are provided for all tnulti-famfly and commercial/institutional buildings. The multi-family and commercial/institutional sectors have lower recycling rates compared to the single family sector where municipalities typically directly provide waste and recycling services. Commercial Waste Hauler Licensing would also facilitate the collection of the Generator Levy, which was approved by the GVS&DD Board on the same date as Commercial Waste Hauler Licensing. The Generator Levy is now in effect. The Generator Levy ensures all waste generators contribute to the fixed costs of the region's transfer station network and solid waste planning, which benefit all waste generators in the region. The Generator Levy, set at $40 a tonne for 2018, is incorporated into the Tipping Fee at Metro Vancouver and City of Vancouver disposal facilities and will not affect the total cost of disposal. If waste is delive red to other facilities, hau lers will be required to collect the Generator Levy and remit it to Metro Vancouver, thus ensuring that all waste generators contribute to the system regardless of where the waste is ultimately disposed Kingsway Burnaby BC, Canada V5H OC6 I M~lto Vancouver Reg1.:i11al Dostlld I I rnetrovancouverorg I Gre<ite var1c:ouv <r S»WHage al'\d Drainage Oist1ic1 Greater Vancouver Sewerage & Drainage District Greareo Vancou11er Wa1er Oislrkt Meua V4,,._.;iuve1 l-ious1n.1. rpor.\li111

NO GENERATOR LEVY GENERATOR LEVY Commercial waste haulers require license Dry Recyclables Residential and Commercial Organics Construction and Demolition Garbage to Metro Vancouver or City of Vancouver disposal facilities Industrial Garbage to facilites other than Metro Vancouver or City of Vancouver disposal facilities Agricultural Haulers remit GENERATOR LEVY to Metro Vancouver Haulers pay TIPPING FEE (which includes disposal rate plus GENERATOR LEVY) To processors for recycling and disposal, NO GENERATOR LEVY GENERATOR LEVY HAULER LICENSING BYLAW 181 (enacted 1996) The Generator Levy ensures that all waste generators in the region contribute to the fixed costs of the region s transfer station network and solid waste planning. Commercial Waste Hauler licensing ensures that recycling systems are in place wherever garbage is collected in the region; assists the collection of a Generator Levy. Bylaw 181 regulates private sector facilities that manage municipal solid waste and recyclable materials. Updates help encourage recycling and ensure level playing field. Metro Vancouver manages garbage produced by residents and businesses in the Lower Mainland. With a strong commitment to first reducing the waste we generate and aspiring to recycle 80% of the region s waste by 2020, the Generator Levy, Commercial Waste Hauler Licensing and updates to Bylaw 181 are important tools to achieve our zero waste objectives.

This notice provides information on the implementation of the Generator Levy; however, please refer to the Tipping Fee Bylaw for details of legal requirements. If there is a conflict between this notice and the Tipping Fee Bylaw, the Tipping Fee Bylaw takes precedence. Implementation Details The Generator Levy is set at $40 per tonne for For Mixed Municipal Solid Waste delivered to the Regional Facilities (see list of facilities in table below), the Generator Levy is a component of the tipping fee and the Generator Levy does not affect the total cost of disposal. No action is required by haulers if they deliver Mixed Municipal Solid Waste to Regional Facilities except that all haulers are required to maintain records as described in the Tipping Fee Bylaw Section 8.3. Metro Vancouver understands that these records are currently maintained by commercial waste haulers. Regional facilities (Metro Vancouver and City of Vancouver Disposal Sites) Coquitlam Transfer Station Langley Transfer Station North Shore Transfer Station Waste-to-Energy Facility Surrey Transfer Station Vancouver Landfill Maple Ridge Transfer Station Vancouver South Transfer Station If haulers deliver Mixed Municipal Solid Waste originating from within the geographic area of the GVS&DD to facilities other than Regional Facilities, either within or outside of Metro Vancouver, haulers are required to collect and remit the Generator Levy to Metro Vancouver. Haulers are responsible for determining how to allocate that Generator Levy to individual customers. For your reference, a list of municipalities that make up the GVS&DD is included in Attachment 1.

V5H 4G8 Dear Mr. Henderson, Re: Metro Vancouver proposed Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Commercial Waste Hauler Licensing Bylaw No. 307, 2017 and proposed amendments to Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Bylaw No. 306, 2017 The Waste Management Association of B.C. ("WMABC") is comprised of over 70 businesses that provide a majority of the waste and recycling services in the Province of British Columbia, including in the Greater Vancouver Regional District. WMABC acts as a conduit and representative voice for its members in connection with, among other things, local regulation and regulatory initiatives. We were informed that you are personally calling WMABC members for the specific purpose of securing their last-minute support for the above-captioned regulatory measures, being presented to the Metro Vancouver Board for its endorsement on November 24, We have been informed that your calls are badgering and inherently intimidating in nature, and that the arguments put forward to convince our members that they ought to support the proposed measures are premised on inaccurate and skewed versions of facts and the reality "on the ground". We strongly object to your politicking for the proposed regulatory measures in this manner and given your patently debilitating conflict of interest. The latter arises by virtue of the fact that, should the Metro Vancouver Board endorse the proposals (as is it expected to do), and the Minister approve same, your control over licence-issuing will put their fate directly in your hands. That fact underlies your calls and solicitation for support of the proposed regulatory measures. It is highly improper, particularly coming from a regulating authority. We have previously identified this inherent conflict that exists within GVS&DD given its multiple roles as policy developer, an operating arm and the sole venue for appeals from your decisions, including in connection with the rushed and inadequate consultation allowed in relation to the proposed Hauler Licensing Bylaw and the proposed Generator Levy. Your conduct is sufficiently serious in this instance, and so clearly indicative of so much that is awry at GVS&DD, that we are compelled to bring it to the immediate attention of the Minister of Environment and Climate Change (and will pursue it further with him as part of our previously stated concerns with the Hauler Licensing Bylaw).

141 Cs,~ ABBOTSFORD December 4, 2017 File: Paul Henderson, P.Eng. General Manager, Solid Waste Services 4330 Kingsway Burnaby, BC V5H 4G8 Dear Mr. Henderson: Re: Metro Vancouver Solid Waste Regulatory Changes I am writing In regards to recent Metro Vancouver solid waste regulatory changes, including the- generator levy, commercial hauler licensing, and Bylaw 181 review. In October 2017, Abbotsford City Council received a delegation from the Waste Management Association of BC citing concerns that the changes will control the flow of waste from the region, limit com.petition and prevent private sector investment. The changes were discussed at the City's Council Meeting held on November 20, 2017, where Council authorized staff to send comments to Metro Vancouver and the Ministry of Environment regarding the proposed regulatory changes. The City supports the pursuit of increased waste diversion, as evidenced by Council's Strategic Initiatives to align with regional diversion goals. The City understands Metro Vancouver's stated objectives for the regulatory changes, which Include providing equitable and sustainable funding of regional solid waste management, increasing waste diversion and increasing the effectiveness of solid waste regulation. Despite this fact, the City has concerns with the proposed Metro Vancouver regulatory changes due to the negative impacts they will have on some local solid waste businesses and the potential for Metro Vancouver to re-instate its pursuit of additional Waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities. The latter is reinforced by the understanding that Metro Vancouver plans to review WTE facility development options as part of its 2018 Zero Waste Committee work plan. WTE is of particular concern given the fragile and vital air shed shared by Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRO), and the negative consequences that WTE would have on local air quality and public health. The City would like to continue to work cooperatively with its partners at the FVRD and Metro Vancouver to find workable solutions to achieve diversion that will benefit residents in both regions. We welcome the opportunity to meet with you to further discuss alternate solutions for achieving waste diversion goals. If you have further questions, please contact Nathan Koning, Senior Engineer, Solid Waste and Environmental Services, at or nkoninq@abbotsford.ca. Yours truly, Peter Sparanese, P.Eng.

Encorp Pacific (Canada) is the not-for-profit stewardship agency which operates the used beverage container return system under the Return-It brand. We license Return-It Depots as container return locations and collect used beverage containers from retailers across Metro Vancouver. Solid waste management and recycling have evolved substantially over the past two decades and timely updating of applicable bylaws is needed. We are pleased that the amendments to Bylaw 181 continue to recognize the unique and valuable role of dropoff depots and retailers in the recycling value chain and that they are distinct in character from most other solid waste management sites. Encorp is in support of the proposed revisions, in particular appropriate exemptions under the revised bylaw for those who manage stewarded products.

V5H 4G8 Re: Metro Vancouver Generator Levy Implementation Dear Paul, In your letter dated January 25, 2018, you state "Metro Vancouver understands that these records are currently maintained by commercial waste haulers." That understanding is mistaken and there is currently no means for haulers to maintain the detailed records implicitly required by the purported Generator Levy. As Metro has itself admitted, the Generator Levy depends on its companion draft bylaw. Unless and until that companion bylaw is approved by the Minister, Metro has no authority to require haulers to maintain and remit such (nonexistent) records. As always, we stand ready to meet with you to discuss ways and means that can and would work, for all parties, in order to meet the primary goal of maximizing waste diversion within Metro Vancouver specifically and the Province of BC additionally. Sincerely, d~ Lori Bryan Executive Director, WMABC Waste Management Association of BC PO Box 3322, Station Main Mission, BC V2V 4JS

146 From: Paul Henderson Sent: Friday, January 26, :24 PM To: 'Lori Bryan' Cc: Sarah Evanetz; Carol Mason Subject: RE: WMABC response to MV Generator Levy Implementation Hi Lori: Thanks for your letter. The obligation on haulers to create and maintain records is contained in section 8.3 of the GVS&DD Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation Bylaw No. 306 (Tipping Fee Bylaw) and is not dependent on any other bylaw. The specific requirements include: Every Waste Hauler that handles Municipal Solid Waste within the geographic area of the GVS&DD must create and maintain the following records for at least 5 years: (a) the quantity (by weight or volume) of Municipal Solid Waste collected from generators within the geographic area of the GVS&DD on a load by load basis; (b) the quantity (by weight or volume) of Municipal Solid Waste collected from generators within the geographic area of the GVS&DD and delivered to Disposal Sites or Vancouver Disposal Sites on a load by load basis; and (c) the quantity (by weight or volume) of Municipal Solid Waste collected from generators within the geographic area of the GVS&DD and delivered to facilities or locations other than to a Disposal Site or Vancouver Disposal Site, on a load by load basis. GVS&DD s statutory authority to require haulers to keep such records is granted by section 7B of the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Act. (d) require waste haulers to (i) act as agents of the Corporation in collecting levies under this section, (ii) remit levies to the Corporation in accordance with the by-law, (iii) maintain records in accordance with the by-law, and (iv) permit an employee or agent of the Corporation to inspect and make copies of these records during normal business hours for the waste hauler; Please let me know if you have any additional queries.

147 Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Strategy Room 112 Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V 1X4 Dear Minister Heyman 5050 Gladwin Road Abbotsford BC V4X 1X8 Tel: (604) January 27, 2018 I am writing to you today to express my support for the approval of the Hauler Licensing Bylaw and updates to Bylaw 181 so as to ensure a sustainable waste management system within Metro Vancouver. I provide the following letter of support towards local infrastructure, local jobs, downstream businesses and a level playing field for all businesses that participate in Waste Management within BC. My firm, Net Zero Waste Inc. has a share in the ownership and operation of 4 composting facilities in South Western BC. I am also a Professional Engineer with more than 15 years of experience in the design and construction of composting facilities and organic management programs for communities ranging from as small as Powell River, BC to as large as the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, CA. Generator Levy My understanding is that under the Generator Levy, all waste generators contribute to the fixed costs of transfer stations and solid waste planning within Metro Vancouver. NZW facilites only process Source Separated Organics (which as a recyclable is not covered by the Generator Levy), however the existence of Transfer Stations are critical for an efficient integrated regional processing system. Our composting facilities are located outside of the populations centers where natural buffers help to minimize possible downstream odour impacts. Metro Vancouver Transfer Station Infrastructure allows communities to ship their organics to our facilities at a cost competitive rate. We recently lost a bid for a large Metro Municipality as we could not direct haul, which creates unbalanced processing throughout the region. It has been proven that the best way to encourage recycling is to make garbage expensive. This can be seen by looking at provinces or states where waste is cheap as they trail others in sustainability and diversion programs. Recycling can then be completed at a savings to the community, allowing regulators to control unpermitted dumps that polute and negatively impact downstream communities. Hauler Licensing To my understanding, the license conditions focus around municipal waste. If a processor is handling pre-processed or depackaged materials, then they would not require a license. The same would apply regarding the processing of agricultural or industrial waste streams currently not regulated by Metro Vancouver or handled through Metro Vancouver Infrastructure. Other conditions of the license mandate that haulers must ensure recycling containers are provided wherever they pick up garbage and that Organics are collected seperately from dry recyclables or garbage. Net Zero Waste supports this effort as it has been proven that when organics are co-mingled with all wastes they become too heavily contaminated to be sustainably recycled. Our goal should be to keep Organics out of the landfill so while depackaged organics provide a great feedstock for digestors, bulk comingling of solid waste streams does not provide for a sustainable system and typically is driven by cost savings for the hauler rather than improved diversion.

148 Bylaw 181 Update This bylaw has not been updated since From my understanding, the changes proposed are intended to increase recycling and facilitate a level playing field for all businesses across all sectors within the waste industry. As the updates will only affect facilities that require a license, my concerns about agricultural waste or depackaged materials are covered by the points raised in the previous section. The update will require that any facility handling Mixed Municipal Solid Waste must reduce or recover a minimum of 25% of the total materials processed. This will help to maintain a focused effort to continually improve diversion, even if only a final 25% is pulled from the waste stream. It is my goal as an environmentalist and businessman to do what I can to support sustainability and a smaller carbon footprint for our community. The changes discussed above do not appear to intend to control organics, but rather to help to ensure a level playing field for all of those that provide the same processing services for the same municipal waste streams. These controls will update our bylaws to include facilities which more than 20 years ago didn t exist. These sites currently fall in-between the cracks and sit outside of any sort of regulatory control which provides them with a competitive advantge over those facilities which follow the BC regulatory regimine. Having a degree of regional control in BC s largest population center helps to ensure that a shared network will allow the best solution to be implemented, not only the closest. Metro needs to committ to continue to identify population centers with no access to Transfer Stations and invest in new Transfer Station sites, as the above controls look to discourage private sector investment in waste management infrastructure. We need our communities to be able to access the lowest regional costs and highest end use disposal options. This changes when existing facilities are challenged by increasing tonnages and mass odour complaints or downstream impacts. We need to have the ability to avoid overloading Mega sites that process more than 100,000 Tonnes per year, for balanced regional processing. There needs to be a recognition that funding this infrastructure may not always provide the cheapest solution in the short term, however it does help to ensure that a balanced and studied approach is taken for a sustainable solution with high diversion rates over the longer term. Net Zero Waste hopes that our odour free facilities located outside of the population centers can be part of the Metro Vancouver solution. We require the support of Metro Vancouver in our efforts and the utilization of regional infrastructure so as to ensre that organics can be transported to our sites at a cost competitive rate.

149 Section G 3.1 To: From: GVS&DD Board of Directors Phil Trotzuk, Chief Financial Officer Date: February 16, 2018 Meeting Date: February 23, 2018 Subject: Development Cost Charge Rate Amending Bylaw No. 305, 2017 Adoption RECOMMENDATION That the GVS&DD Board pass and finally adopt Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Development Cost Charge Amending Bylaw No. 305, PURPOSE To adopt Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Development Cost Charge Amending Bylaw No. 305, 2017 that has received its certificate of approval from the Inspector of Municipalities. BACKGROUND Commencing in 2014, the GVS&DD Board initiated a complete review of its Development Cost Charge (DCC) program which included an updating of the program policy framework and the proposed growth project requirements. The review resulted in recommendations for adjustments to the DCC rates which had no changed in almost 20 years. A comprehensive public consultation on the program and the proposed rates was conducted in the fall of At the October 27, 2017 meeting, the GVS&DD Board gave three readings to the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Development Cost Charge Amending Bylaw No. 305, 2017 (Attachment 1) and it was subsequently forwarded to the Inspector of Municipalities for approval. The certificate of Statutory Approval was signed on February 16, 2018 and is included in Attachment 2. DEVELOPMENT COST CHARGE AMENDING BYLAW The Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Development Cost Charge Amending Bylaw No. 305, 2017 is structured with the following: The new rates as calculated represent the best estimate to properly finance the growth capital program; An effective date of May 1, 2018 which has allowed for a full six months from the time the bylaw received initial readings by the Board; Removal of sections and language related to the affordable housing waiver A review of the affordable housing waiver language and process is in progress to introduce a stand-alone DCC Waiver bylaw. This approach will allow for easier changes to the affordability waiver to adapt to changing conditions.
