46 Key Community Issues - Operational Odour, Emissions and Air Quality Minimizing odour creation through the treatment process All emissions treated prior to dispersal through elevated stack Regular monitoring and reporting measured against baseline readings Formal process for reporting incidents HAZOP studies Noise Siting and massing to reduce noise emissions Building to be acoustically insulated & vents treated to attenuate noise Risk Assessment & Mitigation Risk assessment for all proposed activities Public Safety Restricted plant access NaOCl rather than gaseous chlorine for back-up disinfection

47 Key Community Issues The plant will be designed to fit in the context of the neighbourhood: Appropriate height and scale Attractive appearance that reduces apparent height Planting and landforms to complement the design There will be a public space created at the foot of Pemberton Ave. Interpretive signs and displays Water features Public art installations A multi-purpose community room with AV equipment COSTS Aesthetics & Public Spaces Prudent spending of taxpayer money Revenue generation where feasible Attention to ratepayer impacts Seek federal and provincial funding Traffic and Construction Impacts Truck traffic operating hours Conduct pre-construction surveys and assessments Further public consultation Create experiential education experiences including themed tours Seek partnerships and relationships with surrounding schools and organizations Interpretive displays and viewing areas Education
