Comment by Steve Davey

I ncreasingly, environmental protec-tion, cost-benefit analysis and riskassessment have become the holytrinity of debate, when it comes to

any project larger than a backyard flowerbed.

The most recent example of this hap-pened on January 18th, when a U.S.Presidential Permit was denied for Trans-Canada’s Keystone XL pipeline. Its pur-pose was to carry tar sands derived crudeoil from Alberta, to refineries near theGulf of Mexico.

"While we are disappointed, Trans-Canada remains fully committed to theconstruction of Keystone XL," said RussGirling, the company’s president and chiefexecutive officer. He added that plans arealready underway to largely maintain theconstruction schedule of the project andthat TransCanada will re-apply for a Pres-idential Permit.

"Until this pipeline is constructed, theU.S. will continue to import millions ofbarrels of conflict oil from the MiddleEast and Venezuela and other foreigncountries who do not share the democraticvalues Canadians and Americans are priv-ileged to have," added Girling. "Thou-sands of jobs continue to hang in thebalance if this project does not go for-ward."

Joe Oliver, Canada’s Minister of Nat-ural Resources, posted this response onhis ministry’s website: Canada is on theedge of an historic choice: to diversify ourenergy markets away from our traditionaltrading partner in the United States, or tocontinue with the status quo.

Unfortunately, there are environmentaland other radical groups that would seekto block this opportunity to diversify ourtrade. Their goal is to stop any major proj-ect no matter what the cost to Canadianfamilies in lost jobs and economicgrowth. No forestry. No mining. No oil.No gas. No more hydro-electric dams.

These groups threaten to hijack ourregulatory system to achieve their radicalideological agenda. They seek to exploitany loophole they can find, stacking pub-lic hearings with bodies to ensure that de-lays kill good projects. They use funding

from foreign special interest groups to un-dermine Canada’s national economic in-terest. They attract jet-setting celebritieswith some of the largest personal carbonfootprints in the world to lecture Canadi-ans not to develop our natural resources.

Anyone looking at the record of ap-provals for certain major projects acrossCanada cannot help but come to the con-clusion that many of these projects havebeen delayed too long. In many cases,these projects would create thousandsupon thousands of jobs for Canadians, yetthey can take years to get started due tothe slow, complex and cumbersome reg-ulatory process.

For example, the Mackenzie ValleyGas Pipeline review took more than nineyears to complete. In comparison, thewestern expansion of the nation-buildingCanadian Pacific Railway under Sir JohnA. Macdonald took four years. Under ourcurrent system, building a temporary icearena on a frozen pond in Banff requiredthe approval of the federal government.This delayed a decision by two months -two valuable months to assess somethingthat thousands of Canadians have beendoing for over a century.

Despite all the innovations in renew-

able resources, a lot of experts concedethat the world will depend on oil for a sig-nificant part of its energy needs fordecades, largely because it is still the mostplentiful, portable and energy dense fuelsource available.

It is interesting to note that a few daysafter the Keystone XL announcement,senior Iranian lawmakers threatened touse their navy to block oil tanker traffic inthe Persian Gulf. A serious situation,given that almost 20% of the world’scrude oil passes through the narrow Straitof Hormuz at the mouth of the Gulf. In re-sponse, the U.S. and its allies immediatelysaid that they would take swift action tokeep the Strait open.

One can only wonder how plausiblethis action would be, if environmental ap-proval were required before nuclear pow-ered aircraft carriers and hundreds ofsupersonic aircraft could be deployed.

Determining the true environmentalimpacts of using various sources of oil isnot a simple process. While the extractionof liquid crude oil from the Middle East,is much easier and cleaner than what isneeded to extract it from Alberta’s tarsands, security and delivery of the productare much more complicated.

So, when the ongoing economic costof maintaining peace in the Persian Gulf,not to mention the environmental risks as-sociated with hundreds of oil tankers ply-ing the world’s oceans, are factored in, onecould argue that the environmental foot-print of Alberta’s tar sands crude and theKeystone XL pipeline, are not as bad asthey are made out to be.

Certainly, environmental protectionissues are paramount, when evaluatingthe construction of a 2,673-kilometrepipeline, but President Obama would bewise to consider the bigger picture, whenreviewing TransCanada’s revised Key-stone application.

Was Obama’s nixing of Alberta’s Keystone XL pipeline a wise decison?

Canada commits $1.2B forclimate change

Canada's Environment Minister, PeterKent has announced that the federal gov-ernment is contributing $1.2 billion tosupport international efforts to help de-veloping countries reduce greenhousegas emissions and adapt to the impactsof a changing climate.

"Canada came to Durban to make areal contribution toward a global solutionto this global issue; this signals that,"said Minister Kent. "We are hoping foran agreement that covers all emitters andprovides support for developing coun-tries that can most use the help."

Between 2010 and 2012, developedcountries committed to provide up toUS$30 billion in fast-start financing tocountries that are the most vulnerable toclimate change.

Canada supports the 2009 CopenhagenAccord, which is a significant break-through in the global effort to address cli-mate change. According to the Minister,this $1.2 billion contribution in fast-startfinancing is an important way in whichCanada is meeting its commitments.

IDI to supply power plantwastewater system

Infilco Degremont, Inc. (IDI) and its sis-ter company Anderson Water Power &Technologies have been selected to designand supply a retrofit wastewater treatmentsystem for the chloride purge stream from

the wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD)process at the R. M. Schahfer GeneratingStation in Wheatfield, Indiana.

This project will completely trans-form an existing 30-year old plant treat-ment system into one capable ofhandling the scrubber chloride purgestream. According to IDI, the retrofit ap-proach is far more cost-effective thanbuilding a new separate system. Also, itwill remove up to 2 percent of the sus-pended solids and other contaminants in-digenous to the purge stream and makethe plant fully compliant with stringentpermit effluent limits.

An added challenge is the need tomeet an additional effluent requirementfor mercury reduction to a level of 35parts per trillion. This will be accom-plished using technologies developed byIDI for FGD wastewater applications.The IX™ ion exchange process for mer-cury removal was developed in collabo-ration with Dow Chemical, and has beenextensively piloted at multiple generatingstations.

The new wastewater treatment systemis expected to go online in early 2014.

Durham wins award forwaste diversion efforts

The Regional Municipality of Durhamwas presented with the Recycling Coun-cil of Ontario’s (RCO) Platinum Munici-pal Diversion Award, in recognition ofwaste minimization and diversion efforts.

In working towards a 70 per cent di-version rate, the Region continues to de-velop new initiatives, while updatingcurrent programs. Its residents can nowdrop off the following items at the wastemanagement facilities: temporary signs(made from corrugated plastic, plasticfilm or paperboard), white expandedfoam polystyrene, and porcelain bath-room fixtures. In addition, residents nolonger have to pay for dedicated loads ofelectronic or electrical waste, householdhazardous waste, tires or bale wrap thatare dropped off.

The Region has also updated itsmulti-residential recycling program, tofurther increase recycling in condomini-ums and apartment buildings.

Ontario MTO wins environmental award

Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation re-cently won the Environmental Commis-

sioner of Ontario's 2011 RecognitionAward for using bioretention cells andrubber modified asphalt (RMA) at a car-pool lot in Beamsville.

Bioretention cells mimic the naturalhydrologic cycle, while detaining rain-water runoff sediments. They also act ashabitat for wildlife, improve air qualityand reduce the urban heat island effect.Approximately 4,000 cubic metres ofrunoff are filtered through the systemeach year. RMA is made from scrap rub-ber tires, ground and conventional hotmix asphalt. About 4 tonnes of scrap rub-ber tires were used for this project, pre-venting 624 tires from ending up in thelandfill.

Ontario must work to haltloss of biodiversity

In a special report, the EnvironmentalCommissioner of Ontario, Gord Millersays the provincial government mustcome up with a new strategy to stem thecontinuing decline in Ontario's speciesand natural spaces. "The Ontario govern-

ment did adopt a Biodiversity Strategy in2005," he said. "Unfortunately, it expiredin 2010, and the government has so farchosen not to adopt an updated plan."

In 2010, Canada met with almost 200nations in Nagoya, Japan, and agreed on20 biodiversity conservation targets thatshould be achieved by 2020. But theCommissioner says most of the constitu-tional responsibility for meeting thesetargets lies with Ontario and the otherprovincial governments. "Efforts to haltthe loss of biodiversity must be imple-mented at the provincial level if they areto be effective. And Ontario won't be ableto do that unless it has a new Biodiver-sity Strategy."

In Ontario, the most significant threatsto the province's species and naturalspaces are habitat degradation, climatechange, invasive species, overexploitationand pollution. The Commissioner haspreviously warned about the lack of ac-tion to safeguard the province's 200species at risk such as snapping turtles,cougars, and Jefferson salamanders. GordMiller has said the government alsoneeds to address the threats from invasivespecies like Asian carp, and protect wet-lands and woodlands in southern Ontario.

Canadaʼs first hydraulicfracturing registry

now online

British Columbia says that it is the firstprovince in Canada to enforce the public

nium nitrate, a fertilizer. Thirty-threesubstances in use in Canadian com-merce, in several physical states, andsome substances classed in their differentforms are now added to the Environmen-tal Emergency Regulations, for a total of41 unique listed additions.

Facilities that handle these substancesat, or above, regulated quantities are re-quired to develop environmental emer-gency (E2) plans, if they are not alreadyin place. E2 plans require that individu-als and industrial facilities using or stor-ing hazardous substances listed in theregulations have plans for and can man-age the consequences of an unintendedrelease of the substance into the environ-ment.

The amendments include an exemp-tion that reduces administrative burdensfor some facilities in the propane gassector. Facilities with propane in storagecontainers are excluded from the E2 reg-ulations if their storage containers of lessthan 10 tonnes are located at least 360metres from their property boundaries.

SK watermain break results in fine

Clark Builders has been ordered to pay$285,000, after pleading guilty to onecount under the Fisheries Act. This re-lates to the release of approximately 12million litres of chlorinated water into

the North Saskatchewan River followingthe striking of a water main during a con-struction project in July 2009. Sampleanalysis of the chlorinated water deter-mined that it was harmful to fish.

The water main was hit by a sub-con-tractor working for Clark Builders. Aninvestigation by Environment Canadadetermined that Clark Builders, as con-struction manager of the project, failedto obtain underground locations for thewater main prior to excavating for foun-dation pilings for a pool building.

NS village gets financialsupport

Federal, provincial and municipal fund-ing of more than $1.5 million was an-nounced recently to help the Village ofBaker-Brook, Nova Scotia, address thesafety of its drinking water. The projectincludes reconstructing two existingwells, which will be equipped with sub-mersible pumps and connected to thecurrent system. A third well and a newcontrols building for water disinfection

will also be built. This upgrade willallow the village to fix recurring prob-lems with its drinking water supply.

The federal and provincial govern-ments will each invest about $510,000 inthe project. The Village itself will investthe same amount. Funding for the projectis contingent upon completion of all con-tractual agreements, including a pendingenvironmental impact assessment withthe municipality.

Final phase of harbourclean-up to begin

Ontario has secured funding to clean up thecontaminated sediment in Peninsula Har-bour, which is near the town of Marathon.The harbour, which is on Lake Superior,will be undergoing a final step to fix thehistorical contamination that put it on thelist of Great Lakes toxic hot-spots.

The plan is to cover the most contam-inated sediment, an area of 25.6 hectares,with a 15 to 20 centimetre cap of cleansand. This sediment is contaminated bymercury and PCBs from historical un-controlled wastewater discharges, fromthe local pulp and paper mill, a chemicalplant, and the municipal wastewaterplant.Contaminated sediment has beenfound as far as a kilometre from theshoreline. This has negatively affectedwater quality and the eco-system.

Funding for the project includes a $3million settlement from Ball Packaging,former owner of the now closed pulp andpaper mill, and $1.6 million in provincialfunding. Work will begin in the spring of2012 and is expected to be completed bythe fall.

Ponoka pleads guilty towastewater discharge

The Town of Ponoka, Alberta, was finedafter pleading guilty to one count underthe Fisheries Act, related to the releaseof municipal wastewater into the BattleRiver. Environment Canada received acomplaint regarding dead fish in the Bat-tle River in June, 2009. An investigationfound that the Town was releasing efflu-ent from their wastewater lagoon into theriver. Sample analysis of the effluent de-termined that it was harmful to fish.

The Town has been ordered to pay atotal penalty of $70,000. As well, thecourt ordered a number of public educa-tion requirements, including a presenta-tion at the upcoming Alberta Water andWastewater Operators Association'sConference, publishing an article in thetown newspaper, and the posting of in-formation on a number of websites. Pub-lic education information will include asummary of the incident, municipalwastewater and its impacts, and the re-quirement for compliance with the Fish-eries Act.

New insight into Alaskaʼspermafrost

A pioneering airborne electromagneticsurvey in the Yukon Flats near FortYukon, Alaska, by the US GeologicalSurvey has yielded unprecedented im-ages of the presence and absence of per-mafrost to depths of roughly 328 feet. Itcaptured images of permafrost over asubstantially larger area, and with greaterdata density, than has been previouslyachieved using boreholes and ground-based geophysics.

"Liquid water conducts electricitybetter than ice," explained USGS direc-tor Marcia McNutt. "We can detect fromthe air the weak magnetic fields gener-ated by those electric currents, thus dis-tinguishing quickly and easily meltedfrom frozen ground. This new technol-ogy, and the maps of changing per-mafrost, will be valuable for both climatechange research and engineering in thechallenging Alaskan environment."

Because the Yukon Flats is near theboundary between continuous permafrostto the north and discontinuous permafrost

distribution is critical for analyses de-signed to evaluate hydrologic and eco-logic consequences of climate warming.It also provides a baseline for future in-vestigation of the dynamic evolution ofpermafrost systems.

In addition, the study is important be-cause it presents a methodology for as-sessing permafrost in other sub-Arcticand Arctic regions. The airborne ap-proach allows periodic monitoring ofperennially frozen ground over broadareas, as climatic warming decreases theextent of permafrost and accelerates theemission of greenhouse gases.

Dr. BurkeMinsley, geophysicist in the USGS’Crustal Geophysics and GeochemistryScience Center in Denver and lead authorof the study in Geophysical Research Let-ters, and his team surveyed more than 116square miles, centered 140 miles northeastof Fairbanks. Their data captures in detailthe distribution of permafrost and its rela-tion to surface and groundwater features.

It also captures the history of theYukon River lateral migration over a pe-riod of roughly 1,000 years, as mani-fested as a thawed region of permafrost.

How do you measure water use?

Cities and industries need data, smart-planning tools, better approaches andmore cost-effective best practices aboutwater use to ensure a successful, sustain-able future that takes into account thesenew realities. Veolia Water has devel-oped the Water Impact Index, a tool thatcan plan long-term projects to ensurelong-term water supplies.

Traditionally, water is measured byvolume. While this helps raise awareness,it is insufficient for representing impact toa water resource and the environment. TheIndex expands on existing volume-basedwater measurement tools; incorporates ad-ditional factors like resource stress andwater quality; and, provides a better wayto establish the implications of water man-agement.

Lafarge fined for stormwater discharges

Lafarge North America Inc., one of thelargest suppliers of construction materi-als in the United States and Canada, and

four of its US subsidiaries have agreedto resolve alleged Clean Water Act vio-lations. These include unpermitted dis-charges of stormwater at 21 stone,gravel, sand, asphalt and ready-mix con-crete facilities.

Lafarge will implement a nationwideevaluation and compliance program at189 of its similar facilities in the UnitedStates to ensure they meet Clean WaterAct requirements. The company willalso pay a penalty of $740,000 and im-plement two supplemental environmen-tal projects, in which the company willcomplete conservation easements to pro-tect approximately 166 acres in Mary-land and Colorado.

It is estimated that Lafarge will spendapproximately $8 million over five yearsto develop and maintain this complianceprogram. The company will also developand implement an extensive manage-ment, training, inspections, and reportingsystem to increase oversight of its opera-tions and compliance with stormwater re-quirements at all facilities that it owns oroperates.

New projects to clean upLake Winnipeg

Almost $400,000 in federal funding hasbeen announced for nine new commu-nity projects under the Lake WinnipegBasin Stewardship Fund.

Initiatives supported are high-impactprojects that reduce nutrient loads andimprove the overall ecological sustain-ability of the lake and its watershed. Inprevious rounds of the Lake WinnipegBasin Stewardship Fund, the Govern-ment of Canada announced over $2.0million to support 37 other communityand stakeholder projects. The projectsare reducing the amount of phosphorusand other harmful substances enteringthe lake, restoring urban and ruralstreams and riverbanks, and educatingthe public on how to help clean up LakeWinnipeg.

New tool saves time and money

The Metro wastewater treatment plant in Syracuse, New York, treats an averageof 84 million gallons of wastewater per day. Until they found out about andused a new product called Waste Blaster, operations personnel had to cleansludge and grit from 22 tank floors and fall troughs using traditional methods.

The tool pushes and pulls stuck materials with an aluminum rubber edgedblade. By using them, plant staff cut cleaning times by one third, which savedan estimated $11,000, and eliminated squeegee costs. According to the manu-facturer, plant personnel also reported using 1/3 less cleaning water. WasteBlasters are available in Canada.

trous otherwise. As important as theiragreement is, however, 2020 is unfortu-nately very far away.

2. Many developing countries that areat risk of being swamped by rising oceanlevels and extreme weather have said thedeal marked the lowest common denom-inator possible and lacked the ambition

needed to ensure their survival. What areyour thoughts on this?

Cedric Bleuez: The world is currentlylosing some precious time before takingseriously the threat of climate change anddeciding on some real action on a globalscale.

Lisa Zentner: When a conversationensues involving such a wide scope ofpossibilities and an even wider number ofplayers, the decisions reached are alwaysgoing to lack punch. Every developingand industrialized country must individ-ually implement legislation to help reduce

Global leaders have agreed todevise a legally bindingagreement to limit climatechange warming to two de-

grees Celsius. The 17th Conference ofthe Parties (COP17) to the United Na-tions Framework Convention on ClimateChange was held in December 2011 inDurban, South Africa. In a deal forged inthe conference’s last hours, 195 countriesagreed to work towards a legally bindingemissions reduction scheme by 2015, tobe implemented by 2020.

Reaction to the deal has ranged frompraising the compromise as a “historicagreement” to accusing it of giving in topolluters at the expense of the planet. Forinsight into the opinions of thought lead-ers about the results achieved at COP17,I interviewed leading professionals withinthe carbon and climate change industry: • Dan Staniaszek, Sustainability Consulting Ltd.• Cedric Bleuez, Carbon Market Data.• Lisa Zentner, Globe Electric Company Inc.

The following are their responses tomy questions:

1. China and the United States endedtheir long-time coalition of the unwillingand joined a historic UN climate deal inDurban on the final day of COP 17. Howimportant do you think it is that the U.S.and China have agreed to reach a legallybinding agreement on pollution by 2015,to take effect in 2020?

Dan Staniaszek: This is a necessary,but not sufficient response by the U.S.and China. Clearly, without the world’sworst two emitters, one a developedcountry and the other a developing one,there would be no hope of a meaningfulagreement. However, leaving it until 2020to take effect is, according to most cli-mate scientists, leaving it too late.

Cedric Bleuez: In the last few years,China has been much more proactive thanthe U.S. on the climate change mitigationfront.

Lisa Zentner: The U.S. in particularhad to come to the table after not havingratified Kyoto. It would have been disas-

emissions. The developing countries areat the highest risk, but all countries willsuffer the effects of climate change.

3. South Africa insists that COP17was a success. Do you agree?

Dan Staniaszek: I read one reportthat diplomats cannot accept failure soany event must be couched in the lan-

guage of success. I guess there is some-thing to be said for keeping Kyoto alive,as it’s the only game in town.

Cedric Bleuez: Let’s say it is not afailure. It will be possible to answer thisquestion only in 2015, if a legally bindingagreement on pollution is signed by then,including the major polluters of theplanet (i.e., China and the U.S.).

Lisa Zentner: I think whenever youget the world’s leaders to agree to cometo the table to discuss such critical issues,it’s a win.

4. Is this a step forward for the world

Reaction to the deal has ranged from praising the compromise as a “historic agreement”

ago, a pigeon step forward. Compared to1997, when the Kyoto Protocol was ini-tially adopted, it’s a big step backwards.

Lisa Zentner: The media attention

and public opinion that surround theseCOP meetings bring much-needed focusto the policy that our countries mustquickly develop to reduce and reward ap-propriate fossil-fuel use and behaviour.

5. What do you predict will be the ef-

fect on businesses?Cedric Bleuez: Businesses will have

to take the Durban deal into accountwhen designing their business strategiesbeyond 2020 (which is quite a long dis-tance, businesswise). By 2020, oil priceswill probably be much higher than today.This will represent a big driver of busi-ness strategies, but also a driver of strongenergy efficiency and clean energy poli-cies for governments. It’s already the casetoday but this trend will increase dramat-ically.

Lisa Zentner: To comment specifi-cally on the poor performance of Canadaat these talks: as a result, we have seenand will continue to see the emergence ofprovincial and municipal governmentsand their communities rise up to have avoice above the federal government byimplementing plans to reduce emissionsand encourage the growth of the greeneconomy.

In 2004, the government adopted anew water code and is focused on the re-construction of wastewater treatmentplants. This is being carried out both byurban infrastructure development projectsand by local and regional projects forwater resources conservation and man-agement.

The task of protecting the environmenthas been taken very seriously by publicand private organizations, educational in-stitutions, municipalities, engineeringfirms and others. JINJ Engineering Co.,one of the major design and constructionmanagement firms in Yerevan, has com-pleted a number of large projects involv-ing design and construction of watersupply stations, distribution networks andwastewater treatment facilities in varioustowns in Armenia, including project man-agement and training programs for theoperating personnel.

Armenia is a landlocked coun-try in the Caucasus region ofEurasia, at the crossroads ofWestern Asia and Eastern

Europe. It is in the highlands surround-ing the mountains of Ararat. A former re-public of the Soviet Union, it is now ademocratic nation-state with an ancientand historic cultural heritage.

The Kingdom of Armenia was estab-lished around 600 BC and reached itsheight between 95 and 66 BC, becomingone of the most powerful kingdoms ofits time within the region. It became thefirst state to adopt Christianity, in theearly years of the 4th century. The manyhistoric and cultural monuments, monas-teries, churches and relics spread aroundthe country provide Armenia with greatpotential as an international tourist des-tination.

Yerevan, the capital, is a vibrant cityof more than a million people with mod-ern infrastructure, a metro system, wideboulevards, an opera house, theatres, newresidential buildings, busy commercialstreets, parks, restaurants, coffee shops,banks and many impressive monuments.

Canada, sponsored by CESO, has helpedJINJ to get first-hand knowledge of mod-ern natural wastewater treatment tech-nologies used in Canada, where theclimatic conditions are very similar tothose in Armenia.

Armenia’s first lagoon systemBased on its knowledge of modern

technology and its experience in Canada,JINJ Engineering has designed and man-aged the construction of a lagoon systemfor municipal wastewater treatment for thevillage of Parakar, about 15 km from Yere-van. This is the first lagoon system usedfor wastewater treatment in Armenia.

Natural methods for wastewater treat-ment (stabilization lagoons, constructedwetlands, etc.) are well suited for smallcommunities, and especially in develop-ing countries, because of their low con-struction and operating costs. They haveproven to work effectively in warm cli-mates (South America, Honduras) andcold climates (Canada, the highlands ofBolivia). Many small municipalities inOntario apply lagoon technology for theirwastewater treatment (e.g., Milverton).Currently, more than 6,000 systems in theUnited States use a lagoon in some ca-pacity during their wastewater treatmentprocess.

The wastewater treatment plant for thevillage of Parakar in Armenia has a designdaily flow of 970 m3. Total populationserved is 10,400, with only 60% of thehouses currently connected to the waste-

The system includes aeration and set-tling ponds, with provision for a thirdclarifying pond to be constructed in thefuture if required. The aeration pond is 53m long by 15 m wide (bottom) and 3 mdeep, and has a working volume of 3,500m3. Intended wastewater residence timeis up to 3.5 days. The pond has a 4:1 ratioconcrete slope. Its bottom and sides arelined with a polymer-based impermeableliner material. Aeration in the pond issupplied by two ROBOX ES15 blowers(one working, one spare), with a capacityof 2.9 m3/min, 0.8 bar pressure, 7.5 kWmotor. The blowers are located in asolidly constructed building.

Air is supplied from the blowers at arate of 7.3 m3/min., via 75 mm PE piping,which is laid on the bottom of the pond,and perforated with 4 mm openings. This

design provides for a complete mix in theaeration pond.

The settling pond is 15 m long by 3.5 mwide (bottom) and 2 m deep, with a 4:1slope ratio. Working volume is 90 m3 andthe intended residence time is up to fourhours. Sludge generated will settle at thebottom of the pond and will be pumped

out periodically. There is provision in thefuture for sludge dewatering and its usefor land fertilization.

Wastewater comes into the plant fromthe collection network via an inlet pipe.Then, it goes through a manually oper-ated mechanical 8 mm thick barscreen

sodium hypochlorite must take precau-tions to protect themselves and the envi-ronment.

These precautions are taken at indus-trial facilities everywhere, becausesodium hypochlorite is a key componentin thousands of production or disinfectionprocesses in industries. These includeagriculture, chemical, paint, lime, food,glass, paper, pharmaceutical, syntheticsand water treatment. The powerful disin-fection and oxidation properties of

To most people, sodium hypo-chlorite (NaClO) is simplyknown as liquid bleach. Tothose charged with producing,

transporting and metering NaClO for awide range of industrial applications,there is nothing simple about it.

Sodium hypochlorite was first pro-duced in 1789 when the French chemistClaude Berthollet passed chlorine gasthrough a solution of sodium carbonate.Today, it is formed when chlorine gas isbubbled into a cold and dilute sodium hy-droxide solution.

One of the most versatile cleaning anddisinfecting fluids around, sodium hypo-chlorite is used for everything from com-pleting basic household chores todisinfecting hospitals, and from being fedas a biocide to inhibit biological growthto removing odours from wastewater.

Finished sodium hypochlorite is aclear, slightly yellowish solution with acharacteristic odour. In its commonly usedliquid-bleach form, it has 5% sodiumhypochlorite with a pH of around 11,which makes it irritating to the skin. How-ever, in more concentrated doses, such as10% - 15% sodium hypochlorite, its pHlevel rises to 13, which means it will burnand be corrosive to many substances. Thatis why anyone working with high levels of

sodium hypochlorite allow it to be usedin such operations as paper and textilebleaching, drinking water disinfection,preventing the growth of algae and shell-fish in industrial or HVAC cooling tow-ers, and disinfection and odour control inwastewater treatment facilities.

The challenge of off-gassingIn wastewater treatment plant applica-

tions, sodium hypochlorite is introducedto the system via metering pumps. In ad-dition to needing to handle it with carebecause of its elevated pH levels, a criti-cal concern when pumping and meteringthe liquid is its propensity to “off-gas.”When this happens, the consequences tometering pump operation include airbinding and loss of prime, which ad-versely affect the operational efficiencyof the metering pump, leading to com-promised metering operations.

To combat off-gassing in meteringpumps during sodium hypochlorite han-dling operations, facility managers canimplement a number of simple steps tominimize their concerns:• When selecting a pump style for use insodium hypochlorite metering, alwaysuse a high-stroking model with a shortstroke length. This type of pump is lesslikely to allow the accumulation of gas inthe pump head.

Improving efficiency and eliminating off-gassingduring sodium hypochlorite disinfectionBy Tom O’Donnell



Disinfection

• In pumps that are turned off for alength of time, to prevent the gas from ac-cumulating in the suction line or pumphead, include a bypass line with an auto-mated valve that can recirculate thesodium hypochlorite when not feeding.• Provide a short, flooded suction-pipearrangement for the metering pump, withthe suction piping sloping down from thestorage tank to the pump. This setup willallow any gas bubbles to travel back to thestorage tank, rather than to the head of themetering pump. It is also recommendedthat a metering pump used in sodiumhypochlorite service not be top-mounted,unless the concentration is very low.• Ensure that the feed tank of sodiumhypochlorite is not located in direct sun-light. Direct sunlight and higher temper-atures will increase off-gassing.• Use a sodium hypochlorite solutionwith the lowest concentration possible forthe application and the largest-capacitymetering pump possible. This combina-tion will result in less off-gassing.• If possible, use an air vent or purgevalve in the head of the metering pump.This will aid in evacuating any trappedsodium hypochlorite gas that may reachthe metering pump.

Mechanically-actuated diaphragmpumps are effective in combating thedeleterious effects of off-gassing, whileproviding accurate metering. The pis-ton in these pumps is attached to the di-aphragm and is normally compressinga spring in its forward (positive) move-ment. This ensures positive diaphragmreturn, which assists suction.

Series PZ electronic pumps from Nep-tune Chemical Pump Co., offer highstroking speed (300 strokes per minute)and short stroke length, making gas lesslikely to accumulate in the pump head. Inaddition, the pump can be provided with

an automatic vent valve to allow anytrapped gas to be purged from the pumphead. The Series PZ pumps also offermanual control, automatic control, orfully programmable control features incapacities up to 20 gallons per hour.

Neptune’s Series 7000 motor-drivenpumps feature a straight-through flowpath pump head, which does not allowany areas within the pump head for thegas to lodge. They are self-priming andcan be provided with automatic fre-quency control. A micrometer dial canadjust capacity while the pump is running(10:1 turndown). These pumps are avail-

able with flow rates from 6 to 300 gph atpressures to 150 psi, and constructed withPVC and Kynar which are most suitablefor sodium hypochlorite applications. Allparts within the gearbox are submergedin oil for extended service life.

Finding the right pump technology forhandling sodium hypochlorite is crucial,especially considering the negative ef-fects that off-gassing can have on meter-ing operations. That is why managers ofwastewater treatment facilities, who wantto optimize production while simultane-ously reducing maintenance costs, down-time and product loss, often choosemechanically-actuated diaphragm meter-ing pumps.

sidered to be “good practice.” Someprovinces, particularly in Eastern Canada,are required to adopt ACGIH thresholdlimit values as their legislated occupa-tional exposure limit (OEL) values. Otherprovinces consider scientific and sociopo-litical factors in deciding what OEL theywill use.

The ACGIH’s adoption of a new TLVfor H2S will inevitably trigger a reviewand change in the legislated OELs inCanada.

The response of the Government ofNewfoundland & Labrador epitomizesthe response of most Canadian jurisdic-tions (Bennett 2010): “The Departmentwill continue to monitor research and de-velopment relating to H2S gas detectionequipment, the availability of acceptable

The American Conference ofGovernmental Industrial Hy-gienists (ACGIH) is a profes-sional association of industrial

hygienists and practitioners of relatedprofessions. One of its goals is to ad-vance worker protection by providingtimely, objective, scientific informationto occupational and environmentalhealth professionals.

The best-known of ACGIH's opera-tions, is the Threshold Limit Values forChemical Substances (TLV-CS) Com-mittee. It was established in 1941 andcharged with investigating, recommend-ing, and annually reviewing exposurelimits for chemical substances. In 1946,the organization adopted its first list of148 exposure limits, referred to as “max-imum allowable concentrations.” Theterm “TLV” was introduced in 1956. Thefirst compilation of these limits, Docu-mentation of the Threshold Limit Values,was published in 1962. Today's TLV listincludes 642 chemical substances andphysical agents, as well as 38 biologicalexposure indices for selected chemicals.

TLVs are developed as guidelines tohelp control health hazards. Intended foruse in the practice of industrial hygiene,these recommendations should be inter-preted and applied by a person trained inthis discipline.

In 2010, ACGIH changed its recom-mended exposure limits for hydrogensulfide (H2S). The change reduced thetime-weighted average (TWA), from 10to 1 ppm. TWA is the airborne concen-tration of a biological or chemical agentto which a worker may be exposed foreight hours per day for a 40-hour workweek. This change also reduced theshort-term exposure limit (STEL) from15 to 5 ppm. This is the maximum air-borne concentration of a biological orchemical agent to which a worker may beexposed in any 15-minute period.

Although the ACGIH is not a stan-dards-setting body, its recommendationsinfluence federal and provincial occupa-tional health and safety regulations.ACIGH recommendations are also con-

methods and equipment to determinecompliance with the new 2010 ACGIHexposure limits, and other Canadian ju-risdictions adopting ACGIH guidelines asregulatory standards. In the interim, in-dustry is encouraged to consider usingthe 2010 ACGIH H2S guidelines whenevaluating specific workplace situationsand conditions and making risk manage-ment decisions.”

As noted elsewhere (Wagner 2010),this response places both operations staffand professional engineers in the awk-ward position of having to decide how tobest protect staff in light of these newlimits: “Many companies are compelledto adopt these values into their safety andindustrial hygiene programs. Corporateindustrial hygiene professionals who areresponsible for employee health, knowthat effectively controlling exposures, oreven monitoring various substances atthese levels, may not be practical in theirbusiness. However, they have to contendwith the possibility that a worker who be-comes seriously injured or ill from an al-leged exposure to a hazardous substancewill retain an attorney, who can presentevidence that ACGIH recognizes andpublishes guidelines saying that expo-sures above the recommended levelspresent serious health hazards.”

This change follows those made inother jurisdictions. For example, the UKHealth and Safety Executive in 2000 re-duced the long-term exposure limit from10 ppm to 5 ppm (HSE 2000; Costigan2003). This reflects a concern about ad-verse health effects caused by day-to-dayoccupational exposures even to low con-centrations (<10 ppm). There is evidencethat H2S selectively binds to the enzymesinvolved in cellular respiration, causing ashift towards anaerobic respiration.

DefinitionsTLV is the concentration for a set du-

ration below which there should be noadverse effect on a worker. Exposure du-ration may be measured by either theTWA or the STEL. Employers sometimesuse the daily average because it is simplerto monitor. TLV-TWA is the weighted av-

TLV-STEL is the limit a worker shallnot exceed for any 15-minute interval inan 8-hour shift, even if the worker’s over-all exposure is below the TLV-TWAvalue. It is believed that workers can bebriefly exposed to this concentrationwithout suffering from irritation, chronicor irreversible tissue damage, dose-rate-dependent toxic effects, or narcosis suf-ficient to increase the chances ofaccidental injury, impaired self-rescue, orreduced work efficiency.

TLV-STEL targets immediate effects,while the TLV-TWA tends to target long-term effects. The worker’s exposure mustnot exceed either limit.

Hydrogen sulfide toxicityThe toxidrome of H2S poisoning en-

compasses the following symptoms(Guidotti 2010):• “Knockdown,” which is reversible unconsciousness that can be fatal. Recovering individuals have a high risk of residual impairment (e.g., brain damage).

• Pulmonary edema, which is fluid accumulation in the lungs.• Conjunctivitis (gas eye), which is inflammation of the eye.• Odor perception followed by olfactory paralysis (loss of smell), and possibly

olfactory damage. H2S is particularly dangerous when it cannot be smelled.

One case study in particular hascaused the industry to ask if the exposurelimit is too high (Bhambhani, Burnham etal. 1997). In that study, 15 men and 13women were exposed to an atmospherewith 10 ppm hydrogen sulfide for 30 min-utes while exercising at 50% of their aer-obic capacity. The hydrogen sulfideinhibited the aerobic capacity of the exer-cising muscle, calling into question the10-ppm limit.

During the ACGIH review process,this dramatic change was challenged bysome as being too conservative (CAPP2009; Wise, Herald et al. 2009). For ex-ample, a Canadian Petroleum ProductsInstitute submission to the Ministry ofState argues that the limit should be re-considered for the following reasons(Bristow 2010):• The toxicology data do not justify the ACGIH reductions.• Accurately measuring H2S concentrations down to 1 ppm is not feasible.• There are unintended consequences. (i.e., more monitoring and PPE equipment needed).

of 15 ppm was set in 1976. Recent pub-lished, peer-reviewed literature suggeststhat lower concentrations of H2S affectedjudgement and respiratory function. A1998 proposal to lower the TLV-TWAwas not adopted, but a 2004 proposal tolower the TLV-STEL level to 5 ppm andthe TLV-TWA to 1 ppm was ultimatelyadopted in 2010.

The ACGIH’s underlying contentionis that the dose-response curve for H2S

appears to start at about 5 ppm (ACGIH2010b). Thus, a TLV–TWA of 1 ppmshould be sufficient to protect against allthe unwanted effects of hydrogen sulfide.Peak exposures of 5 ppm may produceminor irritation and a brief change inoxygen uptake, but would not be ex-pected to produce more serious effects onthe respiratory, central nervous, or cardio-vascular systems. Therefore, a TLV–STEL of 5 ppm is recommended.

How does H2S exposure affectWWTP operators?

In a 2010 issue of the Water Environ-ment Association of Ontario’s magazineInfluents, Patrick O’Shaughnessy, of theUniversity of Iowa, outlined the findingsof two studies that compared the exposureand health symptoms of wastewater andwater treatment plant workers. Exposurerates for all monitored wastewater treat-ment tasks were less than 1 ppm H2S. Sta-tistically higher ratios of respiratory, ocularand skin irritation, neurology, and gastroin-testinal symptoms were shown amongWWTP workers compared with watertreatment plant workers. Tasks related tosludge handling and plant inspectionshowed statistically significant associationswith memory/concentration difficulties,throat irritation, and stomach pain.

What is good practice?Defining “good practice” is difficult in

an uncertain regulatory environment. It isobviously not good practice to ignore pub-lished, peer-reviewed research. However,it would also be unwise to go too far, untilthe health and safety community hasagreed on any changes.

Still, the employer is responsible forproviding a safe work environment. Whatis deemed “safe” will change whenevernew research is published. The advicefrom the Newfoundland Government is toview the new ACGIH limits as guidelinesuntil they are entrenched in regulations.

DesignGood odor control practice is to elim-

inate, reduce, contain, and extract. (Hob-son and Yang 2001). Because H2S isodorous, odor management should alsolead to a healthier work environment. Forexample, the design should avoid strip-ping gas or creating aerosols. Returnliquors and imported wastes should beadded below the water level and, if pos-sible, downstream of the headworks.Channels and equipment should be con-tained, and the foul air extracted.

Control measuresControl measures may include the fol-

lowing:• Ensure that rising mains discharge in a chamber outside of the buildings.• Discourage the formation of H2S within the sewer (e.g., dosing to control septicity).

• Select operating practices that minimize the emission of toxic gases within enclosed areas.• Prevent the escape of toxic gases by enclosure and operation at negative pressure.• Ventilate to dilute toxic gases to a safe level.• Divert and contain contaminated sewage at high-risk plants (e.g., enclosed or buried facilities).

ConclusionIt is not clear if or when the ACGIH-

proposed changes will become part of theofficial health and safety regulations inCanada. Nevertheless, taking them intoaccount is considered “good practice.”Because the onus remains with the designengineer and the employer to provide asafe work environment for wastewatertreatment plant staff, they need to con-sider ACGIH’s recommendations on hy-drogen sulfide limits.

Electronic Wastes

For example, there is generally a riskof leaching from landfill sites into soiland water resources. Incineration can re-lease toxins into the atmosphere andcreate potentially hazardous waste slag.Quite apart from these direct environ-mental impacts, the high rates of dis-posal of e-waste represent an inefficientuse of resources, with associated indi-rect costs to the environment.

At the same time, recycling methodscurrently in use are not particularly ef-ficient or cost-effective. Often the costsincurred in collection, transportationand processing exceed the value of thematerials recovered. The processes in-volved are still quite labour-intensive,involving dismantling products byhand to extract valuable components, orremove harmful substances before thewaste is sent for end-processing usingautomated methods.

New emerging techniques such as ro-botic disassembly, thermal treatmentsand hydrometallurgical extraction mayimprove the efficiency of recycling andhelp ensure that the high-value out-comes of recycling outweigh the costs

Management of the rapidlygrowing and highly haz-ardous electronic wastestream is one of the main

environmental challenges currently fac-ing Canada, and most other countries.According to the United Nations Envi-ronment Programme (UNEP), between20 and 50 million metric tons of e-wasteare disposed of globally every year, andthis is predicted to increase to between40 and 70 million tons per year by 2015.

Within Canada, volumes of e-wasteare reportedly increasing by 4% eachyear. One source has estimated that morethan 5 million computers and monitorsalone are thrown away annually byCanadian households and businesses.These form only part of a much larger e-waste stream that includes mobilephones, televisions, office equipmentand white goods.

It is not just the rapid growth of e-waste, however, that distinguishes itfrom other forms of municipal waste.The safe and efficient management ofthe e-waste stream presents particularchallenges due to the complex nature ofmost e-products, which typically includehigh levels of hazardous substances suchas lead, mercury and cadmium. Environ-mental hazards such as toxic emissionsalso arise as a by-product of e-waste dis-posal or recycling processes.

However, many e-waste productsalso contain valuable and scarce mate-rials such as gold, silver, platinum andcopper, and their effective recovery forresale and reuse represents a potentiallylucrative business activity.

Shortcomings in e-waste management

At present, neither the environmentalnor potential business benefits of e-wastemanagement are being effectively real-ized. Like most other countries, Canadarecycles or recovers only a small propor-tion of its e-waste, while up to 90% isdisposed of in landfill sites or by incin-eration. Even the most technologicallyadvanced disposal methods and facilitiescurrently in use involve environmentalhazards.

involved. There are also promising de-velopments in the design of electricaland electronic products to reduce theuse of hazardous waste and improvetheir recyclability.

Technological innovations in productdesign techniques and processes includethe reduction of lead content in com-puter screen monitors and the use ofshape memory alloys. These are metalsand plastics that automatically return totheir original shapes when reheated to acertain temperature. But there is a longway to go before advances in technol-ogy alone result in a substantial reduc-tion in volumes of e-waste or enablemost of the waste to be safely and effi-ciently recycled.

Policies and programsIn its efforts to promote the environ-

mentally friendly design of e-productsand increase levels of recycling throughpolicy and regulations, Canada is follow-ing a global trend in the implementationof extended producer responsibility(EPR) as the dominant e-waste manage-ment model. Also known as product stew-ardship, this is based on the premise that

Managing e-waste in Canada presents many challenges and opportunities By Harold Schroeder



Electronic Wastes

manufacturers should be accountable forthe whole life cycle of their products, in-cluding recycling or safe disposal.

Under this model, producers are re-quired to fund the cost of recycling ordisposal, either by implementing theirown take-back programs, or by payingfees to a third party to administer an e-waste management scheme on their be-half. The objective is to internalize thecosts of e-waste management in theproduct costs, shifting the responsibilityfor recycling and disposal from govern-ments and taxpayers to the producers ofthe products. This provides a direct in-centive for manufacturers to incorporateenvironmental considerations into prod-uct design in order to ensure that theirproducts can be priced competitively.

Canadian e-waste management strate-gies and legislation have been determinedmainly at the provincial level, but thesehave been harmonized to at least someextent by the activities of the CanadianCouncil of Ministers of the Environment(CCME).

In 2004, CCME endorsed a set of na-tional principles for electronics productstewardship with the objective of promot-

ing product stewardship as the main ap-proach to e-waste management withinCanada. In 2009, it adopted a Canada-wide action plan for EPR, providing fur-ther guidance on the design and im-plementation of e-waste management reg-ulation and strategies at the provinciallevel and promoting the use of EPR as an“environmental risk management tool.”

Progress in Canadian e-waste man-agement has also been driven by Elec-tronics Product Stewardship Canada.This is a producer-led organizationformed in 2003 that plays an active rolein helping provinces design and imple-ment e-waste management programs,and it has developed a national electron-ics product stewardship strategy.

All the major Canadian and multina-tional producers of electrical and elec-tronic products are represented in thisorganization, including Hewlett-Packard,Sony, IBM, Dell, Apple, Canon and oth-ers. Many electronics manufacturers op-erating in Canada also have their owntake-back or buy-back schemes, in addi-tion to participating in collective productstewardship programs.

Where ERP programs have been im- continued overleaf...

plemented under Canadian provincialwaste management legislation or regula-tions, it is mandatory for suppliers of des-ignated products to develop and im-plement an approved e-waste manage-ment plan. Otherwise, they must contracta third-party organization to do so on theirbehalf.

The minimum requirements for plansvary somewhat between provinces butgenerally include proposals for financ-ing, recycling options, collection andprocessing, and education and aware-ness-raising. To date, the majority ofCanada’s provinces and territories haveimplemented management plans. Mostare phasing in various categories of elec-trical and electronic products over time.According to the eStewardship.ca web-site, only British Columbia and Mani-toba have comprehensive regulations inplace covering all the main e-wasteproduct categories.

With the exception of BC, which hastwo separate programs operated by differ-ent administrative bodies, all provinceswith product stewardship programs haveappointed a single organization to develop

management are distributed. Systemsthat allocate producer contributions bymarket share or environmental designcriteria are more likely to encouragemore efficient life-cycle product man-agement than those requiring producersto share the costs equally. In the lattercase, there is little incentive to designproducts that have long life spans andare easy to recycle.

In Canada, the basic e-waste manage-ment financing model in use is similaramong the provinces, and is based on theprinciple of shared responsibility betweenconsumers, producers and government.Some Canadian programs require produc-ers to charge a standard “environmentalhandling fee” or “advanced recycling fee”at the point of purchase. This distributesthe costs of collection and recycling of e-waste among those who benefit from theproducts.

The effectiveness of this in influenc-ing product design is questionable, sincee-waste management costs are not incor-porated into product prices. Moreover,such fees have been interpreted nega-

and manage them. In Saskatchewan, On-tario, BC and Nova Scotia, the electronicsstewardship programs are industry-led. Inother provinces, such as Alberta and NewBrunswick, programs are administered bynon-profit organizations that report to theenvironment ministries.

Financing modelsThe ability of an EPR program to

achieve its ultimate objective of im-proved product design is likely to de-pend largely on how the costs of e-waste

tively by the public and media as an en-vironmental tax.

Progress and opportunitiesThe issue of e-waste management

presents environmental and logisticalchallenges for Canada and its provincesand territories. Significant progress isbeing made in recycling technologies andin the development and implementationof e-waste management regulations andprograms. There are good prospects forCanada to become a world leader in en-vironmental best practices and e-wastemanagement. However, there are still anumber of areas for improvement, bothin policy and practice.

For example, where e-waste manage-ment plans and regulations are con-cerned, there is a pressing need for furtherharmonization between provinces to re-duce the burden on producers to meet arange of different compliance require-ments. Additionally, it is recommendedthat programs be designed to incorporategreater use of recycling and recoverygoals and targets, as well as more effec-tive incentives for improved product de-sign. This may require a review of currentfinancing models.

Moreover, most provincial e-wastemanagement programs have so far fo-cused on establishing and enforcingarrangements for the recovery of manage-ment costs from producers and on raisingawareness of collection arrangements andresponsibilities among consumers andproduct distributors. Less evident havebeen efforts to increase management ca-pacity and efficiency by promoting thebusiness opportunities and encouragingcommercial providers to enter the e-wastemanagement marketplace.

There are many opportunities for newentrants in a range of business areas,from design and engineering to construc-tion, transportation and processing. As e-waste management capacity and processefficiencies are increased, it will becomepossible for provinces to incorporate awider range of e-waste into their productstewardship programs and to signifi-cantly increase overall levels of recyclingand recovery, with both environmentaland economic benefits.

Environmental Management

ket until 2025. How will you be seen inthe rising tide of SMEs wanting to selland retire? The colour of success in a suc-cession plan must include green. An EMScan be woven into that process tostrengthen a seller’s position.

5. Whether your business is green willaffect not only its attractiveness to potentialbuyers, but also its valuation. Over the past20 years, environmental risk and liabilityissues have emerged to become one of themost value-destructive factors facing fam-ily-owned businesses, and are thereforemajor factors in the family business valu-ation.

Don Schwerzler, an advisor on succes-sion planning for family-based businessesin the United States, has shown that theadoption of ISO 14001 has helped stop thedrain on valuation, and he has used it withgood success to prepare a business for saleor transfer.

6. The legacy issue has other implica-tions. Many SMEs are family-owned.Unless there has been a solid manage-ment approach for the environment, anintergenerational sale may carry with it

ISO 14001 is the de facto standardfor environmental management.Any organization, especially oneoperating in the environmental sec-

tor, should have adopted this standard,but so far only a very few have. ISOrefers to the International Organizationfor Standardization; ISO is not anacronym, but is a shortened form of theGreek word “Isos”, which means equal.

Here are ten reasons why you shouldbe paying closer attention to what’s goingon in the world of ISO 14001.

1. Human-designed systems aregrossly inefficient. Experts hold that mostbusiness systems are 96% inefficient,which means that for every $100 of ef-fort, there is $4 of actual value, and thatis not good for the bottom line. An envi-ronmental management system (EMS)can help you ask the questions that willstart to drive improvement in your pro-ductivity, by greening it. An EMS canalso help your organization stay “fit forpurpose,” maintaining its competitiveedge.

2. One of the more valuable reasonsfor adopting an EMS, especially in smallto medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), isthat it can enhance the formality of yourbusiness. Increases in formality can driveproductivity gains, which in turn increaseprofitability and prosperity.

3. An EMS can be used to managechanges, big and small, in the businessprocess. The benefits include being ableto prove to your management, yourbanker, your employees, whoever thestakeholders are in your business, thatyou have evidence of doing better.

Sustainability guru Bob Willard hasgathered data from businesses large andsmall on the “sustainability advantage,”and has found that going green can leadto cost savings and profit increases as highas 66% in SMEs. These are serious im-provements (read more at www.sustain-abilityadvantage.com). An EMS alignedto ISO 14001 can be used to manage thistransformation.

4. Are you one of the 385,000 to750,000 small business owners whowanted to retire between 2006 and 2016?Experts say it will remain a buyer’s mar-

the harsh reality of heavy financial penal-ties and even jail sentences for the newowners: children or grandchildren.

The Canadian Federation of Inde-pendent Business surveyed its membersand found that only 10% had a formalsuccession plan in place. This is not a for-mula for success. Environmental lawyerDianne Saxe has had to advise clients toclose a business or let it die with thegrandfather because of environmental li-abilities. You can watch her interview on“In the Limelight” in the archives ofGFTG TV. An EMS is not an overnightsolution, but it can mesh well with a suc-cession plan.

7. In 2008, the cost of global environ-mental externalities (factors whose ben-efits and costs are not reflected in themarket price of goods and services) wasnearly US $7 trillion, or 11% of the valueof the global economy. Just 3,000 com-panies were the cause of approximately35% of these externalities, according toa report by the World Business Councilfor Sustainable Development.

Financial stakeholders are going to bewatching for evidence that these compa-nies are taking control of this situation.ISO 14001 is a tool for fostering and en-suring co-operation and innovationamong these corporate giants. Govern-ments, especially those in distress, will belooking for ways to pass the responsibil-ity and costs for these problems back tothose that created them. It is far prefer-able for businesses to take control withan EMS than be subject to a whole newwave of regulations.

8. Some of these 3,000 businesseshave ISO 14001 in place now. They areaccustomed to an EMS based on ISO14001 for their own internal managementcontrol, and are comfortable with the ideaof using it as a supply chain request.When ISO 14001 made the first roundsin supply chains, the large companies thatwere early adopters pushed it onto theirtier one suppliers.

However, the other 65% of the mar-ket, including companies supplying the3,000, is also adding to the problem. Therequest or requirement for evidence ofbetter management will be passed on tomedium and smaller businesses, includ-

ing those in the environment business.This is not just a big-business request;governments are increasingly asking forthe presence of an EMS aligned to ISO14001.

9. The companies that see this as anopportunity and leverage the positive out-comes of an EMS first will gain the highground. Current estimates of ISO 14001still suggest that less than 1% of em-ployer businesses have adopted it, sothere is room on the top of the iceberg,where you will be in plain sight. If youdon’t get yourself above the waterline,large businesses can just as easily lookelsewhere, whether south of the border oracross the pond in either direction.China’s adoption of ISO 14001, whenmeasured by the number of certificates,is growing rapidly, and is likely to leadthe world.

10. As budgets grow tight, govern-ment-supported programs tend to fadeaway and the fallback position is on moreregulatory-based measures. The Euro-pean Union is only one of the economicregions under stress, but it will have rip-ple effects around the globe.

Regulation is not typically written for

SMEs, and adds cost without solid evi-dence of environmental benefit. The on-going outcomes of an EMS can positionan SME ahead or above regulatorythresholds. As regulatory measures arefar more expensive, taking control for en-vironmental management in-house is amuch smarter move.

Urban myths and misconceptionsThere are some classic misconcep-

tions and urban myths that have pre-vented the adoption of ISO 14001. Hereare a few suggestions to overcome these.

ISO 14001 is written by standards de-velopers who, like any profession, uselanguage to add mystery and excitementto their lives. If you actually read the stan-dard and apply some common sense, youwill find it is not rocket science. A quicktip: where it says “shall” within clause 4,this is a requirement based on a globalconsensus of expert opinion. Where itsays “should,” this is not a requirement,but a suggestion and a good idea.

Many small- and medium-sized busi-nesses believe that they have to get certi-fied to adopt ISO 14001. This is one ofthe great urban myths. The purpose ofISO 14001 is to enable users to integrate

a robust and credible management sys-tem into their core business to improvetheir relationship with the environment.The value is in design of the EMS.

You can adopt the standard in part orin whole, but, if you only take a few ele-ments into your management process, itwould be unwise to market yourself asbeing aligned to or having ISO 14001. Itis a systems approach, so you need it allto state that you conform.

Demonstrating that you conformIf you adopt ISO 14001 in whole, you

have four options for demonstrating thatyou conform. Another tip: in Canada thetrend is to conform to the standard andcomply with law.

These conformity assessment optionsare recognized in the standard in Clause1, Scope, c) I) to 4). One option is notbetter than another; they are just differentand serve a range of market needs.

Option 1: You can self-declare. Thisis not an “ISO lite” approach — you stillhave to meet all the requirements. Youcan market your adoption; just make surethat you are clear on what to say and whatnot to say. ISO 14001 is a process stan-dard; it cannot be used to support or

imply coverage of a product. Don’t usethe ISO name in vain or abuse the trade-mark, or you will hear from them!

Option 2: A second-party audit refersto a customer or other entity with a vestedinterest in you conducting the audit. Theyare not independent of your business, butcan look at your system with fresh eyesand confirm that you have got what ittakes to state that you have an EMS inplace. The same holds true for ISO 9001:2008.

Option 3: An EnviroReady Report isprovided by a specially trained profes-sional accountant, who is independent ofyour business, so the report is considereda third-party activity, without assurance.The EnviroReady Report was developedwith small business in mind, to offer alogical approach that is sensitive tosmaller budgets for ISO 14001. Seewww.14000registry.com for details. Thiswebsite also enables companies to posttheir adoption of ISO 14001, using anyof the four options for free.

Option 4: Certification or registrationby an EMS auditor is another third-partyprocess, which is intended to provide as-surance. That is one of the reasons it is a

more expensive process. This approachtends to be used by large businesses andgovernments.

ISO does not carry out certificationto ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 orany other of its standards, nor does it con-trol the certification business sector or theEnviroReady Report process.

ISO 14001 is to be revised. WhileCanada voted against this for many goodreasons, including input received fromCanadian stakeholders, the majority ofother countries involved voted for revi-sion. Changes will not be seen for threeto five years, so it is not a good idea towait until the new version is out.

chief negotiator for ISO 14001 and related EMS standards.

Site Remediation

Site remediation can be a time-consuming and costly proposi-tion for commercial andindustrial sites. In many cases,

an appropriate level of due diligence isnot conducted prior to evaluating and se-lecting a remediation system. Often, a re-mediation system is selected andimplemented with less than desired re-sults due to challenges associated withexisting site conditions or systems inplace, infrastructure considerations, andtime and cost constraints.

Prior to implementing a remedial sys-tem, it is often prudent to step back, com-plete a thorough review of the siteconditions and complete a remediationtechnology evaluation (RTE). An RTE issimilar to a remediation feasibility study(FS) but is less costly, can be completedin less time and does not have the samelengthy evaluation and reporting require-ments.

The primary purpose of an RTE is toidentify the major remediation optionsthat are best suited to site conditions, thatwill protect human health and the environ-ment, and that are technically effective,economically feasible and achievableusing common construction techniquesand equipment. Completing an RTE helpsconvey both technical (consultant and reg-ulatory realm) and business (owner/oper-ator realm) information that is beneficialto all parties involved, ultimately leadingto better site management solutions.

Feasibility studies and RTEs are com-monplace in the United States, where fed-eral and state governments have developedseveral guidance documents. They encour-age site owners/managers to completethese detailed evaluations to better managetheir contaminated properties.

In Canada, completing an FS or RTEis much less common. Provincial regu-latory agencies may not have specificguidance documents, and site owners/managers and their consultants mustrely on the U.S. guidance documents.However, an RTE (or FS) can beadapted to any regulatory environment.While the process does not change, the

RTE can be more concise and less time-consuming than a full CERCLA (Com-prehensive Environmental Response,Compensation, and Liability Act) feasi-bility study.

RTE framework and processFigure 1 presents a flow chart of the

RTE process which is an adapted andsimplified version of a number of FSguidance documents. Many of the re-quirements in the U.S. are different inCanada and, therefore, some of the CER-CLA FS criteria do not apply in Canada.Primary RTE components include:

• Development of site-specific reme-

diation or site management goals for reg-ulatory, timeline and cost considerations.

• Development of a conceptual sitemodel (CSM). This is a three-dimensionalrepresentation of known site conditions(contaminant distribution, geology andhydrogeology and remediation con-straints).

• Development of a short list of reme-diation technologies that are applicable,given the CSM.

• Screening or evaluation of the reme-diation technologies on the short list fortheir effectiveness (based on contaminanttype, challenges with technology imple-

mentation, site constraints, and overall es-timated costs to implement).

• Development of conceptual site lay-outs or conceptual designs for the re-maining technology options.

• A detailed evaluation of the remain-ing technologies based on a set of criteriamodified from the CERCLA FS ap-proach. Detailed planning-level cost esti-mates are prepared so that remediationtechnology solutions can be evaluatedbased on overall life-cycle and net-pre-sent-value costs.

• Selection of a clear front-runnertechnology solution that meets the site-specific goals, based on the detailed eval-uation. The final remediation solutioncan then be designed and implemented atthe site and remediation performance canbe monitored.

In many cases, an RTE can be com-pleted using existing environmental datacollected during a Phase II environmentalsite assessment (ESA). However, for se-lection of the best technology and formore refined cost estimates, a sufficientlevel of site data (soil, groundwater, sed-iment and vapour) must be available. This

data is usually collected as part of a re-medial investigation (RI).

The RTE framework is very adaptableto the level of analysis required, given sitemanagement objectives. Considerationcan be given to clients’ needs for short orlong time frames, or priority can be givento cost considerations.

RTE evaluation is initiated by focus-ing on a short list of applicable technolo-gies that are effective (i.e., can meet sitemanagement objectives) for the variouscontaminants present, can be imple-mented given the site constraints, andprovide the lowest potential life-cyclecost. A variety of technically feasibletreatment technologies exist for remedi-ation and management of contaminantsthat are present at a given site. However,each technology must be evaluated forsite-specific conditions and other consid-erations to identify the optimal technol-ogy configuration.

Technology options that are not effec-tive (or less effective) in protectinghuman health and the environment, thatcannot be implemented because of thephysical characteristics of the site or con-


taminants, or that have a cost that is anorder of magnitude greater than a similartechnology, are excluded.

While the FS analysis and documen-tation process can be very detailed andtime-consuming, the RTE approach issomewhat more streamlined and still pro-vides for a thorough evaluation of tech-nologies. However, it does not necessarilyhave the lengthy reporting requirementsof a full FS.

Instead of using the full nine CER-CLA criteria, five criteria can be used (bycombining some or eliminating those thatdo not apply in Canada) in the detailedRTE analytical criteria, as listed below:

1. Overall protection of human healthand the environment. Compliance withregulatory guidelines.

2. Short-term and long-term effective-ness and permanence (longevity).

3. Reduction of contaminant toxicity,mobility or volume through treatment(effectiveness).

4. Ability to implement or constructthe technology (implementability).

5. Overall costs (life-cycle or net-pre-sent-value).



Site Remediation

All remediation technologies (or riskassessment/management options) havestrengths and weaknesses. Technologyscreening is conducted to help focus thedevelopment of remediation technologyevaluation and develop a short list oftechnology options/alternatives that havethe greatest potential to meet treatmentand overall site management objectives.

Each technology option is evaluatedindividually against each criterion. Thendifferent options developed for an af-fected medium are compared to deter-mine specific strengths and weaknessesthat must be balanced. This process iscontinued until technology options ortechnologies are identified that meet sitemanagement goals/objectives, or result inthe selection of the lowest-cost remedia-tion technology or technologies.

As part of the RTE detailed analysis,planning-level cost estimates are gener-ated for each technology option. Capital,operating and maintenance costs and netpresent value (NPV) for any long-term orannual remediation costs are estimated.Cost estimate methodologies should bebased on sound engineering principlesand should follow a standard costing

methodology such as those recom-mended by the Association for the Ad-vancement of Cost Engineering (AACE).

Planning-level cost estimates are usu-ally sufficient for a RTE or FS using aClass D or 4 cost estimate with tolerancesof +50%, –30%. NPV cost estimates aredeveloped for all remediation options aspart of the detailed evaluation process.Usually they include a breakdown of di-rect capital and indirect capital costs, op-eration, maintenance and performancemonitoring costs.

Following completion of the detailedevaluation, a RTE report is prepared thatpresents the RTE methodologies used, thesite-specific CSM, screening-level analy-sis of technologies on the short list, a de-tailed analysis of remaining technologies,selection of the preferred remediationtechnology solution, and identification ofany additional testing such as bench orpilot scale studies.

Results and benefitsThe results of the FS/RTE will in-

clude:1. Identification of potential remedia-

tion (in situ and off site) or risk manage-ment technologies that are used to treat

the contaminants in all media.2. Presentation of a summary of

common site conditions that will affecttreatment technology effectiveness, im-plementation and cost.

3. Evaluation of these technologiesbased on an FS/RTE framework.

4. Identification of the conceptual de-sign factors and conceptual designsneeded to conduct the cost evaluation.

5. Preparation of a range of costs toimplement each technology alternative.

6. Provision of the recommended(most promising, lowest life-cycle cost)technology options that meet most, if notall, site management objectives.

Typically, the results of an RTE or afull FS will identify one to three clear re-mediation choices for the site owner/op-erator to consider. Through the RTEprocess, the technology effectiveness isevaluated, and uncertainty or risks asso-ciated with the remediation time frame,achievement of site management objec-tives and planning-level life-cycle costscan be minimized.

In addition, the RTE benefits the con-sultant by ensuring appropriate due dili-gence has been conducted and that athorough technology analysis is com-pleted. Site owners/operators also benefitby acquiring a better understanding of theimplications on infrastructure needs, ef-fects of site operations, time of remedia-tion, and life-cycle costs for remediation.The site owner/operator has the informa-tion to decide if spending a little moremoney up-front (which may lead to afaster resolution to the remediation) ismore suited to site management or busi-ness goals.

Ultimately, the RTE process and re-sults provide for a systematic evaluationof site remediation needs, selection of atechnology or a combination of technolo-gies that meet site management goals,and development of remediation life-cycle cost estimates.

Energy Costs

fort to collect and share similar informa-tion on best practices in energy efficiency,spearheaded by the Global Water Re-search Coalition through UK Water In-dustry Research Limited.

Results and conclusionsThrough an extensive literature search

and 16 case studies, the authors of the re-port identified numerous energy effi-ciency best practices available to andcurrently in use at drinking water utilitiesin North America. Many of these practicesdo not require expensive or extensive cap-ital investments. Simply optimizing a util-ity’s current equipment and operationspractices can lead to significant reductionsin energy consumption. Key findings in-clude:• Some level or type of energy efficiency improvement can be made by utilities of all sizes and management structure.• Management support and operator and staff buy-in are critical for long-term success.

Energy usage and costs formany drinking water utilitiesare increasing due to manyfactors, including regulations,

treatment technology complexity, aginginfrastructure, supply challenges, andgrowth. While a number of utilities havebegun to recognize the importance ofcontaining and actually reducing energyconsumption and costs, many may notyet fully understand the options availableto them.

A recent American Water Works Asso-ciation Research Foundation study was or-ganized and consolidated into majorareas, including management tools, plantimprovements and management changes,water treatment/distribution/conservation,alternative/renewable energy sources, fi-nancial assistance, and partnerships.

Information was gathered from utili-ties of different sizes and geographic lo-cations across North America. Thisproject is part of a larger international ef-

• Partnerships with energy providers may be particularly useful in identifying cost savings related to electric rate structures and time-of-use.• The primary area to target improvements is pumps and motors.• Benchmarking and conducting energy audits can help a utility define its current energy usage and establish a baseline to track changes over time.• Investment in adequate databases and monitoring and tracking systems is critical for managing energy usage, measuring success, and formulating new energy efficiency strategies.• Energy efficiency efforts should be tied to asset management plans and systems to ensure assets are properly main- tained.• Water efficiency can lead to energy efficiency.• Funding is available to water utilities to implement energy efficiency options.

• Utilities need to understand that efforts to increase energy efficiency are not without risks and tradeoffs that may impact water quality and public health protection.Applications and recommendations

All drinking water utilities can andshould take steps to reduce energy costsand consumption. Estimates indicate thatbetween 10−30% savings are readilyachievable by almost all utilities. Theseefforts can result in a number of benefitsincluding cost savings that can be rein-vested in infrastructure or other energyreduction measures; less strain on thecurrent energy grid; meeting energy re-duction targets; reduced greenhouse gasemissions; improved environmental stew-ardship; and improved customer rela-tions.

There are substantial opportunitiesand potential to reduce energy costs,some of which can be implemented eas-ily, with limited investment. These sav-ings can be realized through a range ofactions including;• Utilizing new, energy-efficient technologies.

• Incorporating energy efficient practices into daily operations.• Taking advantage of incentives and rebates from energy providers. • Installing premium efficiency motors and variable speed drives.• Resizing pumping systems. • Developing alternative pumping schemes and pump system upgrades.• Installing controls and monitoring systems optimizing operations.• Implementing building upgrades (e.g., lighting and heating and cooling).• Benchmarking and energy audits.• Shifting power consumption from on- peak to off-peak hours.• Adding or more effectively using storage.• Promoting water conservation and use of energy efficient products.• Reducing system leaks.• Evaluating system life cycle energy costs associated with proposed projects.• Evaluating the use of alternative energy sources.

This is not a case of one-size-fits-all.Each utility is unique and needs to eval-uate its own goals, financial condition,

and commitment to improved energy ef-ficiency. Regardless of where a utility ison the path to energy efficiency, it can al-ways take additional steps.

Economic implicationsUtilities have found that implementing

energy efficiency practices has resulted insignificant cost savings, up to hundreds ofthousands of dollars annually. Many of theimprovements, such as optimizing currenttreatment, pumping, and operational prac-tices, can be easily implemented with lim-ited cost. Where capital investment isneeded, payback periods can range fromseveral months to several years.

Longer payback periods (10 to 15years) are often associated with renew-able/alternative energy options. Fundingfor energy efficiency improvements maybe available.

Environmental implicationsReducing energy consumption has a

direct impact on reducing greenhouse gasemissions.

This can help utilities and municipal-ities meet aggressive carbon reductiongoals. Investment in renewable/alterna-tive energy can provide long-term“clean” energy.

Operational benefitsUtilities have found that identifying

approaches to integrate energy efficiencypractices in daily management and long-term planning also contributes to long-term sustainability. It reduces operatingcosts and improves efficiency andprocess control. In many cases, measurestaken to improve water efficiency alsotranslate into energy savings, as lesswater is required to be produced andpumped. This can also result in monetarysavings on chemicals and other treatmentsupplies, and extend the life of treatmentunits and components.

Customer relationsTaking steps to reduce energy con-

sumption can enhance customer relationsby demonstrating environmental steward-ship and sustainability. Providing or sup-porting programs to improve energy andwater efficiency at customers’ homes canfurther demonstrate a utility’s commit-ment to helping the environment andhelping customers save money.

The Ontario Water ResourcesAct requires flow monitoringfor any quarry de-wateringgreater than 50,000 litres per

day. In 2009, Louis W. Bray Constructioninstalled an area-velocity flow meter at itsquarry to meet Ministry of Environmentpermit regulations. Their permit stipu-lated effluent limits plus monitoring,sampling and flow measurement ofwastewater discharged from the site to theSouth Raisin river.

Quarries operating below the watertable must de-water by pumping from thequarry pit. Some sites are able to reusewater in washing processes or spray oper-ations but most discharge to a nearby wa-terway. Since a quarry operation involvesonly crushing, screening and mixing ag-gregates, chemical or biological watertreatment is not required. Treatment be-fore discharge normally just requires a se-ries of settling ponds to drop suspendedsolids, and test wells for water quality as-sessment.

Filtration after de-watering in theBray Quarry uses a system of three set-tling ponds. Water is pumped from thequarry into the first settling pond andthen flows by gravity through each pondin succession via connecting culverts.Final discharge flows through a 36" di-ameter culvert and finally to the SouthRaisin river.

Consulting engineers at Genivar pro-posed an AVFM Area-Velocity FlowMeter from Greyline Instruments as asuitable technology to monitor and datalog flow in the partially filled culvert.

The ultrasonic flow meter sensor wasinstalled at the bottom of the culvert,about 1 m from the open discharge,where it measures water level, velocityand temperature. Calibrated for a 36" di-ameter pipe, the instrument convertsthese readings to a flow rate. Duringpumping periods, water in the horizontalculvert rises to about a 300 mm level witha velocity of 0.3 m/sec. The flow meterreads, totalizes and data logs flow ratesup to 70 l/sec during pump cycles.

The instrument’s electronics are in-stalled in an insulated shed 25 m from the

program exports to Microsoft Excel forthese reports.

Bray’s permit allows it to operate 244days per year. They are required to submitflow reports twice annually to the Min-istry of Environment. With the GreylineAVFM 5.0 Area-Velocity Flow Meterthey are able to comply with environmen-tal regulations and easily produce de-wa-tering flow reports.

Drinking Water

1970s, DBP issues have become a majorregulatory driving force. Available toxi-cological data indicates that regulatedDBPs do not produce urinary bladdercancer consistently associated with chlo-rinated water. Additionally, it has beenshown that their potencies are orders ofmagnitudes too low to account for cancerand reproductive or developmental ef-fects.

Water samples from five drinkingwater treatment plants and nine municipalwastewater treatment plants were col-lected and tested during the project. In ad-dition, NOM (natural organic matter)fractions, isolated from selected drinkingwater sources, were utilized in some ex-periments. For HNMs, the approach wasto evaluate different disinfection/oxida-tion processes for HNM formation poten-tial, identify the general characteristics ofHNM precursors, and investigate the in-fluences of pH and elevated nitrite andbromide concentrations on HNM forma-tion and speciation.

For I-THMs, the approach was to de-termine the importance of pH, evaluatethe effect of contact time and dose ofprechlorination, determine the role ofchloramination strategy, the role of natu-ral organic matter, and examine the im-pact of preoxidation with potassiumpermanganate.

Test results showed that ozonation/chlorination significantly enhancedHNM formation, as compared to chlorinealone. Chloramination (using preformedmonochloramine), alone or after ozona-tion, produced the fewest HNMs.

HNM yields, both on a DOC (dis-solved organic carbon) and DON (dis-solved organic nitrogen) basis afterconventional treatment were generallyhigher than the yields observed for theraw water of the same treatment plant.Precursors with higher reactivity towardHNM formation were not well removedduring conventional treatment in theplants studied.

Therefore, the hydrophilic NOM com-ponents remaining in water after conven-tional treatment contain more reactiveprecursors for HNM formation than hy-

Arecent study by the AWWAResearch Foundation exam-ined the conditions and pre-cursors involved in the

formation of two emerging classes of dis-infection by-products (DBPs). These arehalonitromethanes (HNMs) and iodo-tri-halomethanes (I-THMs).

Since trihalomethanes were first dis-covered in drinking water in the early

drophobic compounds typically removedin conventional treatment. This was alsoindicated by the results of the NOM frac-tion experiments. The results also showedthat DOC and DON removal alone willnot be adequate descriptors to predict thereduction in HNM formation potential.

Reasonable correlations were ob-served between HNM yields and theDOC/DON ratio of a sample. HNMyields decreased with increasing DOC/DON ratio, which indicates that nitroge-nous organic compounds play an impor-tant role in HNM formation. However,both the type and concentrations of or-ganic precursors will be important for pre-dicting HNM formation.

HNMs in wastewater effluentsSimilar to drinking water treatment,

the ranking of HNM formation potential(highest to lowest) in wastewater efflu-ents was:

1. Ozonation-chlorination2. Ozonation-chloramination3. Chlorination 4. Chloramination. In addition, HNM formation was

greatly reduced by applying preformedmonochloramine (NH2Cl) rather thanchlorine (Cl2), especially after pre-ozona-tion.

Although a small number of WWTPswere studied in this project, if the influentflow characteristics are also included in thecomparison, municipal nitrifying WWTPsexhibited the lowest HNM yields, as com-pared to other WWTPs for ozonation-chlorination and chlorination.

Conversely, the impact of biologicalprocesses and influent wastewater compo-sition was negligible for HNM formationduring chloramination and ozonation-chloramination. Similar to the drinkingwaters, the best correlations were thatlower DOC/DON ratios and higher DONconcentrations resulted in higher HNMyields for ozonation/chlorination and chlo-rination of municipal nitrifying WWTPeffluents.

Drinking Waterhousehold and industrial uses. Therefore,the HNMs of wastewater effluents in thestudied area were compared with those ofthe drinking water.

Results showed that HNM yields fromozonation followed by chlorination werehigher in the wastewater effluents than inthe treated drinking water. This indicatedthat there were HNM precursors in thetreated wastewater effluents that weremore reactive than the hydrophilic NOMcomponents remaining in drinking waterafter treatment. This suggests that a sig-nificant amount of HNM precursors wereeither produced during biological treat-ment, or existed in the influent waste-water.

This study examined the HNM precur-sors in the effluents of WWTPs beforedischarge. The fate and attenuation ofHNM precursors in water bodies beforereaching DWTPs have not been evaluated.Formation and speciation in DWTPs

HNM formation was at appreciablelevels for certain uniform formation con-ditions (UFC), (e.g., up to 25 µg/L forBr-(bromine)/DOC ratio of 100 µg /Land pH=8). The results indicated that themajor precursors of THMs and HNMs

were not likely to be identical. The treatedwater of DWTPs exhibited significantlylower THM formation than raw water,while HNM concentrations formed in theraw and treated waters were comparableat ambient conditions. However, somesimilarities were noted regarding the for-mation of these two classes of DBPs.

For both THMs and HNMs, formationincreased with pH (6 to 8). Treated watershad higher amounts of brominated THMand HNM species, as compared to theraw waters, due to the removal of DOC,but not bromide, during conventionaltreatment.

Overall, trihalogenated HNMs (THNMs)were the major HNM species formed. Di-halogenated HNM (DHNM) peaks werealso detected, but were almost always belowthe minimum reporting levels of the meas-urements.

Tests at elevated Br- levels showedthat HNM formation increased and morebrominated HNM species were observed.THNMs were still the major HNMspecies formed. Bromine was usually in-corporated more readily into HNMs thanTHMs. Additionally, higher brominatedHNM formation in the treated water was

attributed to the higher reactivity of hy-drophilic NOM components for bromineincorporation. Experiments with ozonealone (without post chlorination) did notproduce brominated HNMs in waterswith elevated bromide.

The presence of nitrite (2 mg/L NO2)increased HNM formation during chlo-rination and ozonation-chlorination. Al-though this level of nitrite would notnormally be found in drinking watersand was spiked in order to see an effect,it seems that NO2 can serve as a precur-sor to form HNMs from chlorinationwithout preozonation. It was determinedthat HNM formation was higher in theraw water supplemented with NO2 thanin the treated water. It appears that thereare some hydrophobic NOM compo-nents in the raw water that are removedduring conventional treatment that canform HNMs in the presence of NO2 dur-ing chlorination.

For ozonation followed by chlorami-nation, HNM formation was minimal (<1 µg/L), even in the presence of bromideand nitrite.

Drinking Water

Formation of iodo-trihalomethanesI-THM formation and speciation

from preformed NH2Cl depended on acombination of Br-/Iratio and concentra-tions, NOM characteristics, and I-/DOCratios. Generally, I-THM formation de-creased as pH increased for a Br-/I- mass

ratio of approximately 10. However,when the concentrations of Br- and I-were elevated (e.g., 800 and 80 µg/L),there was significant I-THM formationat higher pH due to iodoform formation.The formation of iodoform was rarelyobserved at lower and more typicalBr- and I- levels. The most impor-tant species were dichloroiodomethane(DCIM) and bromochloroiodomethane(BCIM).

I-/DOC ratio was an important con-tributor to increases in iodine incorpora-tion and iodoform formation. In addition,the results suggested that there is a NOMeffect for iodoform formation.

A higher I-/DOC ratio was necessaryin a high-SUVA (Specific UV Ab-sorbance) water than a low-SUVA waterfor significant I-THM formation to occur.I-THM yields did not depend on theNH2Cl/I- ratio, as increasing NH2Cl con-centrations from the UFC dose of ap-proximately 2.4 mg/L to 5.0 mg/L (asCl2) did not have an appreciable effect onI-THM yields.Prechlorination vs preformed NH2C1

Prechlorination (HOCl contact time)prior to ammonia addition did not alwaysresult in lower ITHM concentrations ascompared to preformed monochlo-ramine. Prechlorination sometimes in-creased I-THM formation, as comparedto preformed monochloramine undersome circumstances. For prechlorination,the Cl2/DOC ratio and/or the Cl2/I- ratiowere critical to control both the extent ofTHM and I-THM formation, as well as

the ratio of THM to I-THM in a watersample.

However, the critical Cl2/DOC ratio tocontrol both the concentrations of THMand I-THM in a water sample appears tobe water specific. Iodine incorporationdominated over bromine incorporation forpreformed NH2Cl, while the reverse trendwas observed for prechlorination followedby ammonia addition. Low-SUVA254water was more reactive in incorporatingI- during preformed chloramination. Forhigh-SUVA254 water, it was necessary toexceed an I-/DOC threshold before iodineincorporation into I-THMs became sig-nificant.

For preformed NH2Cl, when the Br-/I- level was increased to 800/80, I-THMspeciation shifted towards iodoform for-mation. However, for more typical Br-/I-levels, the dominant I-THM species wereDCIM and BCIM. For prechlorination,increasing contact time from 5 to 20 min-utes generally resulted in a shift towardsmore brominated I-THM and THMs.This was attributed to the faster forma-tion of brominated than chlorinatedspecies and reduction in iodinatedspecies.

For I-THMs, BCIM and dibro-moiodomethane (DBIM) were thedominant ITHM species, while bro-modiiodomethane (BDIM) was mainlydetected with shorter contact times orlower chlorine doses. With increasingBr- and I- concentrations, DBIM be-came the dominant I-THM species,while bromoform became the dominant

THM species. The formation of iod-oform was almost completely sup-pressed during prechlorination.Thisindicates that one consequence of theaddition of Cl2 prior to NH3 additionwill be to almost completely eliminateiodoform formation in practice.

Alternative oxidantsFortunately, the preoxidants, potassium

permanganate (KMnO4), chlorine dioxide(ClO2), or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2),tested as alternatives to prechorination didnot form high concentrations of regulatedTHMs like chlorine. However, neither didthey provide a viable alternative toprechlorination for minimizing I-THMformation. In some cases, small increasesin I-THM formation were observed forpreoxidation. This was attributed to reac-tions of alternative oxidants with Br-, I-,and NOM.

Applications and recommendations for HNMs

HNM formation is likely to be higherat ozonation plants. These utilities shouldconsider monitoring HNM concentra-tions in their systems. Measuring all nineHNM species is important to assess over-all HNM formation and speciation inwater. Like THMs, the formation ofHNMs will increase with increasing pHand bromide level. Chloramination alone,or after ozonation, will reduce HNMs inaddition to reducing regulated THMs andHAAs.

However, it is important to note thatchloramination results were obtainedwith preformed monochloramine in thisstudy. At full scale operations, preformedchloramines are not used. Instead, chlo-rine and ammonia are added in separatestreams to form monochloramine. Propermixing conditions of chlorine and ammo-nia are critical in monochloramine for-mation. Sometimes, chlorine is added towater before ammonia addition to gain

disinfection credit and/or to inactivatebacteria that slough off of a biofilter.

Therefore, the optimization of chlo-ramination practices should considerconsistency and compliance with a widerange of operational and regulatory re-quirements, as well as reducing HNMformation.

Limited results in the literature suggestthat one possible approach to removingHNM precursors is to use biofiltrationafter ozonation. Considering the difficulty

of solving several treatment challengesand goals in a single process, biofiltrationoffers a number of other benefits. Theseinclude removal of assimilable or bio-degradable organic carbon, removal oftaste and odor causing compounds(geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB),removal of selected biodegradable tracepharmaceutical compounds/endocrinedisruptors, and a reduction in the proba-bility of biological growth.

Drinking Water

The DOC/DON ratio, despite somelimitations, can be a simple parameter forwater utilities to assess the formation po-tential of HNMs in their source waters. Itis expected that, with lower DOC/DONratios, HNM yields will be greater.

Applications and recommendationsfor I-THMs

When I- concentrations are less than20 µg/L and/or if the source water is highDOC and high-SUVA254, adding HOCl

and NH3 at the same point in plants withgood mixing conditions is expected toform minimal levels of I-THMs. AddingHOCl earlier in the plant before NH3

prechlorination will decrease I-THM for-mation in most cases when iodide con-centrations are higher (e.g., >80 µg /L).

Even though alternative preoxidants,

such as KMnO4, ClO2, or H2O2, do notgenerate as high a level of THMs as chlo-rine, they will not be a viable alternativeto prechlorination for minimizing iodi-nated THM formation. In some cases,they may even increase I-THM forma-tion.

HNMs, I-THMs and other DBPsOverall, the results obtained in this

study show that ozonation followed bychloramination, or chloramination alone,

may be a reasonable treatment to controlthe formation of HNMs, I-THMs, andTHMs simultaneously. Because chlo-ramines are a weaker disinfectant/oxidant,DWTPs usually need a pre-oxidant/disin-fectant. The use of certain pre-oxidants inan optimized way may help utilities tocontrol and minimize formation of both

regulated and unregulated DBPs. Although nitrification may be ob-

served in some distribution systems as aresult of chloramination, many systemshave managed to control this problem.While switching to chloramines has beenlinked to lead problems in some systems,there are many more that have had nolead issues.

Although the use of different oxidantshas been linked to various DBP prob-lems, they also result in large reductionsin total organic halogen (TOX) or, undermost conditions, significantly loweramounts of HNMs or iodine-containingDBPs. Some of these DBPs are an orderof magnitude or higher in toxicity, butthey are also an order of magnitude orlower in concentration. Nonetheless, it isstill an important goal to try to find cost-effective means of minimizing both reg-ulated and emerging DBPs of healthconcern.

Instrumentation

In most plants, each of several aerationbasins is configured with numerous dif-fuser systems, and individual air flowmonitoring with independent control isgenerally required for each diffuser sys-tem. The compressor system must run atall times to maintain the optimum amountof air to the diffuser systems and the aer-ation basins. Flow rates must changethroughout the day, based on demand.

Air/gas flowmetersEngineers at the plant needed to place

air flow meters in a rugged area of the fa-cility with an underground vault, whichrequired remote access. The installationsite was further challenged with straightpipe run limitations, the presence of haz-ardous gases, a wet and dirty environ-ment, and with fluctuating wastewaterlevels.

The flow meters needed to be installedin the 24-inch line used for blower air flow

Afast growing city recently ad-dressed the need to expandits municipal service for newresidents and subdivisions.

In recent years, the city’s residential de-mand for wastewater treatment tripled tomore than 1.5 million gallons per day. Inplanning for the wastewater treatmentplant’s expanded capabilities, minimiz-ing energy costs for aeration basin com-pressed air was a goal of the city’s waterengineers.

In wastewater treatment plants, con-trolling the proper amount of air that isreleased into the aeration basins is essen-tial since this controls the growth ofmicro-organisms that treat the waste-water. Flow meters are typically installedin the aeration system piping to measurethe amount of air flow, with their analogor digital output connected to the facil-ity’s control system.

into the aeration basins. Accurate meas-urement of the air flow was necessary forthe control system to maintain the correctlevel of dissolved oxygen in the aerationbasins and proper wastewater treatment.The meters also needed to provide accu-racy over a wide flow range, because thefacility requires flow rates to increasefrom 0.5 to 3.0 MGD with future growth.

After reviewing various flow metertechnologies, the plant engineers selectedthe ST98 Flow Meter from Fluid Compo-nents International (FCI).This flow meteris designed with a thermal dispersionmass flow sensing element that providesmeasurement accuracy and reliability inharsh environments. To compensate forflow disturbances resulting from limitedpiping upstream, Vortab Flow Condition-ers (Model VIP) were installed to ensureflow meter accuracy. They remove both

City engineers also installed a VortabVIP Flow Conditioner to provide repeat-able and symmetrical velocity flow pro-files at the metering location to reducestraight pipe run requirements. It was in-stalled three pipe diameters downstreamfrom the flow disturbance to providesymmetrical and swirl-free repeatablelaminar flow. This ensures the flow metermeets the city’s accuracy and repeatabil-ity specifications.

ConclusionOptimizing the aeration process by

measuring and controlling the aerationsystem’s air flow with an accurate, reliableflow meter reduces energy costs and over-all plant operational costs. In addition, theflow conditioner can reduce piping costsand the low pressure drop characteristicsminimize compressor/pump power re-quirements.

Outfitting wastewater treatment aera-tion systems with a mass flow meter willresult in improved process effectivenessand reduced energy consumption.

When the picturesque, ruralfishing village of Victo-ria, Prince Edward Is-land, needed to replace

its antiquated, failing septic systems,community officials looked for a cost-ef-fective solution suited to the unique re-quirements of their location. In order toplan for new development, the treatmentsystem had to be scalable to accommo-date the highly variable daily flows thatare customary for a popular summer va-cation destination.

After careful consideration, Victoria’sdecision-makers chose an Orenco Efflu-ent Sewer and AdvanTex® AX100 Treat-ment System because of its effectivenessand low operating and lifetime costs. Thesystem is scalable, and capable of treatingflows of up to 95,000 litres per day (lpd)during the tourist season, with peaks ofover 180,000 lpd.

Victoria’s historic architecture and itsseaside location draw thousands of visi-tors each year, but development of thecommunity had stalled because septicsystems used by many buildings failedrepeatedly, requiring expensive but oftenmerely temporary repairs. The systemswere also labour-intensive, as theyneeded frequent pumping to accommo-date higher daily use during the touristseason. Provincial regulators would notapprove new development or expansionin Victoria until a solution was found.

When community officials weresearching for a cost-effective, sustainablewastewater system, they had several spe-cific constraints to consider.

First, because the residential lots in thevillage centre had been laid out in the1800s and were not large enough to ac-commodate traditional onsite wastewater

systems, a compact solution was re-quired. Second, because treated effluentmight negatively affect the nearby har-bour and estuary, direct discharge to thebay was not a popular option for manyresidents and those who depended onVictoria’s coastal waters for their liveli-hood. Third, because Prince Edward Is-land relies on groundwater for itsdrinking water, the system needed to bebased on an integrated, sustainable, wa-tershed-based approach.

Engineering Technologies Canada(ETC) was retained in 2003 to identifyand evaluate various options and recom-mend a wastewater management solutionbest suited to the community’s needs.After a detailed life-cycle analysis of bothconventional and alternative systems,ETC recommended the AdvanTex sys-tem. Installation of the system, whichservices 57 residential locations and sixcommercial sites, and consists of bothseptic tank effluent gravity (STEG) andseptic tank effluent pumping (STEP)equipment, was completed in 2008.

How the system worksFollowing primary treatment in col-

lection tanks at each site, the effluent ispumped to the treatment system, whichuses a packed-bed textile filter, with lowpower requirements and low operatingand maintenance costs. Because effluentis dosed at a specific rate to 10 AdvanTexAX100 pods, the system can accommo-date widely varying daily flows. After

treatment, effluent is diffused to two land-based dispersal systems. The pressure-dose sand dispersal bed (mantle) operatesyear-round, while a subsurface drip irri-gation system comes on line during thebusy summer season to provide the totalrequired effluent dispersal capacity.

Another key part of the integrated ap-proach was a water efficiency program.Regular toilets were replaced with low-flow models (six litres/flush or less) andwater meters were installed at each con-

nection. In addition to reducing potablewater demands, this helped to reduce theamount of effluent needing treatment andallowed ETC to reserve more land at thewastewater treatment site for future ex-pansion.

The system’s scalability is an impor-tant factor for development in the com-munity. While all AdvanTex pods areused for peak summer flows, in theslower winter season the system usesonly three pods and two pumps, conserv-ing energy and extending equipment life.Pods can be added to allow for further de-velopment in the area.

Another critical factor for Victoria isthat only a part-time operator is needed,because of the system’s robustness andreliability.

“Operation and maintenance associ-ated with traditional, ‘big city’ sewagetreatment solutions can be onerous andtime-consuming, requiring advanced,high-level operators,” said Kelly Gal-loway, project engineer. “If these tech-nologies are misapplied they can be ahuge burden on small rural communities,often making up the biggest portion oftheir utility costs.”

The operator monitors the system re-motely and is notified if any maintenanceis needed, via an Orenco TCOM™ vir-tual telemetry panel. Levels of BOD andTSS are at least 60% less than antici-

The SSO are deposited on the tippingfloor in an enclosed receiving area that isdesigned for mixed waste preparation andfeedstock mixing. After the material is vi-sually inspected for oversized objects andobvious contaminants, a front-end loaderplaces various proportions of each type ofwaste into a mixer which blends the mate-rial to achieve an appropriate C:N ratio andmoisture content. The mixer dischargesblended material via a conveyor to a pri-mary screener that removes oversized con-stituents and some of the plastics in the rawSSO. Blended feedstock and bulkingagents are transferred by a loader to the be-ginning of each composting bay.

The automated agitator, travellingdown the channels by a rail system on thewalls, mixes the material to achieve a ho-mogeneous blend throughout, as well asmoving it from the front end to the dis-charge end of the bays (the active com-posting area) over a period of 25-30 days.

While travelling through the bay, ma-terial is aerated via a system of in-floorpiping. Temperatures are monitored and

In 2009, a 50,000-wet tonne outputper year organic waste compostingplant was constructed in MooseCreek, Ontario, by Lafleche Envi-

ronmental, Inc. (LEI) a wholly-ownedsubsidiary of Montreal-based TransForce,Inc.

The plant, which is located 45 min-utes from downtown Ottawa, is part of a500-acre LEI development that also in-cludes a bioreactor landfill, collectionand tertiary treatment of leachate, landfillgas collection and a 4-Mw power gener-ation facility.

As part of LEI’s vision of reusing avast majority of otherwise wasted mate-rials, the compost plant helps bring thecompany a critical step closer towards itswaste diversion goals. LEI also recog-nized the need for the plant to meet in-creased demand for diversion of organicsfrom the municipal solid waste stream.This was due to increased environmentalawareness, a provincial mandate to in-crease diversion from landfill, and thelack of facilities in Ontario. The majorityof materials delivered to the facility orig-inate in central and eastern Ontario.

The plant was uniquely constructedwith one building inside another, atop aconcrete slab. It is 156 metres long by 30metres wide, and divided into three com-ponents: a receiving and channel loadingarea; six 110 metre long aerated concretecomposting channels (bays); and a dis-charge area. The exterior building is acanvas-covered steel framework buildingthat houses another internal fabric struc-ture over the area where the active com-posting process occurs.

The entire process is a multi-stagedmix of biology, technology and mechan-ics, with each step being critical in theproduction of a high-quality end product.First, trucks deliver source-separated or-ganics (SSO), consisting of variousbiodegradable feedstocks, including foodscraps, food processing residues, paper,boxboard and cardboard, leaf and yardwaste, and other organic materials.

Immature composted material is thentransferred via loader to an enclosedscreening building, situated adjacent tothe compost facility. It is screened againto remove the vast majority of plasticsand the coarser fraction of the woodchips. This mitigates the seasonal ele-ments (wind, rain and snow), wind-blownlitter, and the potential for odour com-plaints. Screened immature compost istransported to an on-site curing yard,where it matures for an additional 20 to60 days.

Finally, the compost is sampled foranalysis and bulk-distributed as an agri-cultural soil amendment to farmers, a soiladditive for landscapers, and provided tothe public.

Economics and the Environment

In a list of the most popular topicsto appear recently in the media, thegreen economy would easily ranknear the top. As a promising fusion

of both environmental considerationsand economic needs, it has garnered im-pressive praise, critique and debate.

Yet, for all the attention directed tothe green economy, little has been estab-lished as to what exactly the term refersto or encompasses. Definitions of greeneconomic activity have varied widely,from descriptions with a predominatelyeconomic focus, to those that factor inmuch broader considerations of socialequity and sustainability.

This lack of a consistent definitionhas far-reaching implications. Without aclear definition of the green economy, itis difficult to estimate how many indus-tries are currently involved in green ac-tivities, or to determine the ways thatgreen growth affects employment. Forenvironmental employers and profes-sionals in particular, such insights are es-pecially vital, since information on thedevelopment of the green economy re-lates to emerging areas, employmentprospects and changing skill demands.

Thus, a consistent and shared under-standing of the opportunities and advan-tages of the green economy is essentialfor long-term environmental industrygrowth and workforce development. Buthow can this be achieved?

In 2010, the Environmental CareersOrganization (ECO) Canada, initiated amulti-phase research project to definethe green economy, estimate its size, anddetermine its potential influence on em-ployment.

In comparison to major internationalprojects on the topic, such as UNEP’sGreen Economy Initiative and theOECD’s Green Growth Strategy, ECOCanada’s research involves a unique na-tional analysis of the green economy asit relates specifically to industries andoccupations in Canada.

Following the recent publication ofthe first study phase, entitled Definingthe Green Economy, a number of in-

Is the Green Economy the next evolution of environmental employment?

With the spread of sustainable practices across all industries, evenworkers outside of the traditional environmental sector are increasinglyrequired to update their skills, utilizenew technologies, and meet the requirements of emerging regulations.

triguing points have emerged on how theCanadian green economy should be de-fined, what its potential impact is on em-ployment, and where further research isstill needed.

Through a review of available litera-ture and discussions with key industryexperts, ECO Canada’s report arrived ata definition of the green economy as:“The aggregate of all activity operatingwith the primary intention of reducingconventional levels of resource con-sumption and harmful emissions, andminimizing environmental impact. Thegreen economy includes the inputs, ac-tivities, outputs and outcomes as they re-late to the production of green productsand services.”

In a similar vein, a green job wascharacterized as: “One that works di-rectly with information, technologies, ormaterials that minimize environmentalimpact, and also requires specialized

skills, knowledge, training, or experi-ence related to these areas.”

In addition to developing these defi-nitions, the report also surveyed over400 companies, currently operating inthe Canadian green economy, to deter-mine the characteristics, activities, andgrowth expectations of green businessesin Canada.

Based on the input from these compa-nies, the bulk of respondents (43%) wereengaged in industries related to profes-sional, scientific and technical services.Waste management and remediation wasa distant second, with only 11% of greencompanies self-identifying in this cate-gory. Within these industries, green en-terprises most frequently performedservices related to consulting, education,or research, environmental consulting ortraining, engineering or related consult-ing, and recycling or re-manufacturing.

Another important characteristic ofthese organizations was their small size.Half of the businesses in the survey em-ployed five full-time employees or less,while only 7% operated with over a hun-dred full-time staff. The relatively smallcurrent size of green businesses couldchange significantly in the near future.Over two-thirds (64%) of the companiessurveyed expected to hire additionalfull-time employees in the next fiveyears, with 49% of these respondentsplanning to hire between one to 10 netfull-time staff.

Along with this overview of the traitsof green companies, the Defining theGreen Economy report also developed apreliminary sketch of how the greeneconomy affects employment, skills re-quirements and emerging areas of op-portunity in Canada.

For the most part, the primary impacton Canadian employment is through theadaptation and reallocation of existingoccupations. Its growth has meant thatsustainable practices are spreadingthroughout all industries, includingthose outside of the traditionally-definedenvironmental sector.

As noted in the report, “sustainability

is becoming an overarching way ofworking, regardless of industry.” Conse-quently, many workers in existing occu-pations have needed to update theirskills, utilize new technologies, andmeet the requirements of emerging reg-ulations.

Environment-related activities havebecome so integral to typical work re-quirements that ECO Canada estimatesthere are currently over 2 million Cana-dian employees who spend some portionof their time on environmental tasks.

The remarkable prevalence of envi- continued overleaf...

ronmental work means that programsthat help professionals measure theircompetencies against verified standardsand stay in touch with industry develop-ments are particularly essential. In re-sponse to this need, EP (EnvironmentalProfessional) Certification and EP net-working events were established to sup-port the career growth and success ofprofessionals working in environmentalindustries.

To a much lesser extent, the greeneconomy also has an impact on theCanadian workforce through the cre-ation of new jobs. As businesses work tomeet anticipated environmental regula-tions and consumer demands, and asnew markets emerge in such areas aslow carbon technology and renewableenergy, green growth has led to theemergence of distinctly-new occupa-tions.

With sectors, industries and busi-nesses taking part in the green econ-omy’s large-scale shift to greatersustainability, specific skills are alreadyin notable demand. Industry insiders

Building retrofitting and construction is one emerging area that shows stronggrowth potential, according to ECO Canada’s Defining the Green Economy report.

highlighted three main skill needs forworkers in the green economy.

The first was the ability to adapt totechnological change. One of the hall-marks of green growth has involved therapid introduction of new and often ad-

vanced technologies into environmentalbusiness activities and industrial pro-cesses. As one interview participant ob-served in Defining the Green Economy,there is a requirement for “constant adap-tations to the new technology. The biggest

gap is how quick technology is changing.It’s unbelievable.”

Secondly, professionals in the greeneconomy need to demonstrate greaterknowledge of sustainable developmentand general green practices. According

to a number of sources, there is a noticeable lack of knowl-edge about sustainability across business processes, practices,policies and regulations. More knowledge is especially criticalin areas related to carbon trading and environmental finance,where limited training is currently available.

Finally, the growth of the green economy has increased thedemand for interdisciplinary thinkers who are capable of un-derstanding how green issues intersect across different depart-ments. This reflects a larger business transition to systemsintegration. This means employees often need to facilitate co-operation between different industries and demonstrate anawareness of the connections between everything from engi-neering to trades and policy.

These various skill requirements reflect the more technicaland interdisciplinary nature of several of the green economy’smain areas of opportunity. Based on the Defining the GreenEconomy report, significant growth is anticipated for indus-tries in renewable energy and energy efficiency, buildings,retro-fitting and construction; transportation and alternativetransportation, and waste recycling and waste management.

Ultimately, all of these insights from the study representintriguing first steps towards a better understanding of thegreen economy in Canada. Further research is still needed torefine the underlying conditions of a definition for the greeneconomy, as well as establish an accurate measurement ofgreen economic activity.

Several of these objectives have formed the basis for ECOCanada’s second project, Developing Canada’s Green Econ-omy. In this current study in progress, a model will be con-structed in order to classify green economic activity accordingto a series of rule-based measures or conditions. This defini-tional model will then be applied to green industries and com-panies to develop a preliminary scope of the kinds of products,services and activities that the green economy encompasses.

Later on, information from the second study will providea much-needed foundation for common language and logic tocharacterize the green economy, and pave the way for futureresearch into the size and characteristics of Canadian greeneconomic activity.

Additional examination of the industries and occupationsthat contribute to the green economy will assist in identifying“hot” green jobs, the skills and training needs for emerginggreen occupations, and the general workforce strategies re-quired to support green growth. This future research will alsoprovide workforce development tools that specifically supportthe integration of newcomers to Canada and transitioning pro-fessionals into environmental occupations.

As the green economy continues to undergo remarkabledevelopment, insights and strategies produced through this re-search will be crucial. Green growth represents valuable eco-nomic and employment opportunities that Canadian industriesand professionals cannot afford to miss.

The City of Dawson Creek, lo-cated in northeastern BritishColumbia, gets its water fromthe Kiskatinaw River, which is

a tributary of the Peace River. Thissource is often plagued by high turbidityduring the spring and low water levels inthe summer. Recent growth in the oil andgas sector has led to increased pressureon the available potable water supply.

The industry normally procures potablewater from the City at filling stations, foruse in deep well injection, road dust con-trol and mud preparation. An alternative oftapping potable water from Pine or PeaceRiver to supplement that obtained fromKiskatinaw River was considered. Due tothe large distance between the rivers andthe City’s reservoir, this option was con-sidered to be too costly to be practical.

To address the demand for potablewater, the City decided to build a Recla-

added benefit of reducing demand fromthe water supply. Other initiatives such aswater conservation by-laws, adoptingBC’s “Living Water Smart” approach towater management, etc., would ensureadequate water supply for the City and

satellite communities that also use itspotable water supply.

The City issued a request for a pro-posal from the private sector to raise cap-ital for upgrading the existing wastewatertreatment facility to meet unrestrictedpublic access reclaimed water standards.In return, the successful proponent wasoffered a 10 year right to 85% (3400m3/day) of the reclaimed effluent fromthe treatment plant. Possible uses for thereclaimed water are in oil and gas pro-duction, dust control, and/or sports field

watering. Shell provided the winning pro-posal and contributed a significant por-tion of the required total capital.

Dawson Creek reserved the right tothe remaining 15% (600 m3/day) of re-claimed water for possible use in water-ing parks and sports fields. Alternatively,the City could offer this portion of re-claimed water for use in industry for anominal fee. The estimated 25% reduc-tion in potable water demand would en-sure the City has an ample supply ofwater to meet future demands.

The process had to meet BC Munici-pal Sewage Regulations (MSR) for re-claimed water under the “UnrestrictedPublic Access” category. As a result, itwould also meet and exceed the CanadianCouncil of Ministers of the Environment(CCME) requirements on a year roundbasis. (See Table 1)

After discussions with the City’s des-ignated consultant, it was decided to adda Nelson Environmental Inc. SAGR®

(Submerged Attached Growth Reactor)process to provide post lagoon BOD5 andammonia removal. It would also signifi-cantly reduce downstream demand onprocess equipment. Added benefits to up-grading the process would be a signifi-cant reduction in lagoon effluent TSS andpathogens. For final turbidity and TSSpolishing following the SAGR®, clothdisk filters would be implemented fol-lowed by a chlorination unit for disinfec-tion.

Developing the SAGR processLagoon-based treatment systems pro-

vide some ammonia removal (nitrifica-tion) capacity during the summer months.

SAGR site provides cold temperature nitrification in Dawson Creek, BC.



Table 1: Upgraded RWTP anticipated and required effluent.

Water Supply

However, many small communities inCanada and the northern United Statesare currently using lagoon systems forwastewater treatment, which often expe-rience process water temperatures below1 oC for extended periods during the win-ter. As a result, continuously dischargingsystems cannot meet low ammonia limitsduring the winter months.

An alternative is to store lagoon efflu-ent for intermittent discharge when watertemperatures improve. This approach ismade impossible for many communitiesdue to large capital and land require-ments.

The SAGR process was developed toaddress these issues. The performanceparameters and sizing of the process arebased on extensive testing performed onpost-lagoon demonstration systems lo-cated in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan andin Steinbach, Manitoba. Lloydminsterwas commissioned in 2008 and is cur-rently in operation, while the Steinbachpilot was operated for three years be-tween 2007 and 2010.

Depending on effluent requirements,the system design can be adjusted to meetammonia levels of <1.0 mg/L in summermonths, and <2.0 mg/L in winter months,with influent water temperatures as lowas 0.5oC. For the Dawson Creek RWTP,three SAGR beds (modules) were con-structed to operate in parallel, followingthe existing aerated lagoon system.

SAGR process systemThe SAGR process can be utilized for

nitrification following any secondarytreatment process, including aerated orfacultative lagoons. It is a clean gravelbed, with a horizontal flow distributionchamber at the front end. This distributesthe influent wastewater across the widthof the entire bed. The gravel provides thenecessary surface area for growth and at-tachment of a nitrifying biomass withinthe bed and is sized to optimize bacterialgrowth and hydraulic flow. A horizontaleffluent collection chamber at the backend collects all the treated effluent andchannels it to the discharge structure. Siz-ing of the bed is based on influent loadingrates and temperature, as well as the re-quired rate of nitrification.

NEI LINEAR aeration was laid alongthe SAGR floor and provides continuousyear-round aerobic conditions necessaryfor nitrification to take place within thebed. The aeration grid and bed layout aredesigned in such a way as to optimize bio-mass growth by balancing predation/decaywith growth throughout the bed. This inturn minimizes long-term flow obstructiondue to biomass overgrowth.

Commissioning and performanceNelson Environmental staff provided

operational training and commission onSeptember 13, 2011, following success-ful completion of system construction.

All MSR effluent objectives are met

prior to the disc filters with the exceptionof turbidity (no bacterial indicator data wasprovided). This trend is expected to con-tinue and improve as the SAGR processmatures to establish an optimal biomassfilm within the beds. (See Table 2)

ConclusionsPreliminary results indicate the up-

graded facility is well on its way to meet-ing effluent quality objectives andsolving the potable water availability con-cerns. There is a potential for capital costrecovery for the City of Dawson Creek,given the fact that demand for the re-claimed water by the local oil and gas in-dustry is likely to remain high for theforeseeable future. The RWTP effluentquality far exceeds the recently publishedCCME effluent quality requirements. Asa result, the City is ahead of the curve inmeeting the 30 year grace period allo-cated by the federal government forwastewater treatment plant upgrades.

Shell gains an alternative source forprocess/fracturing water that is cost effec-tive and of high quality. It has access to3400 m3/day of water over a 10 year pe-riod for their initial investment, amount-ing to significant long-term savings andcapital recovery.

system to determine which sectionsneeded to be prioritized for replacement.However, it began searching for a solutionthat would help support this approach bynon-invasively measuring the effectivewall thickness of selected water pipes asa means of better anticipating what sec-tions were most vulnerable to futurebreaks.

“Maple Ridge is a growing commu-nity with a fairly young infrastructure,”said Ed Mitchell, Maple Ridge’s Water-works Superintendent. “Except for 42miles of asbestos cement and cast-ironpipes with some ductile iron, we’re ingood condition. Our main driver in inves-tigation and replacement was trying todetermine a pipe’s remaining useful life.”

According to the US Environ-mental Protection Agency,some 700 water main breaksoccur every day in the United

States and Canada, amounting to approx-imately 250,000 breaks each year. Also,EPA estimates that, on average, 14 per-cent of treated water is lost to leaks.

The District of Maple Ridge, BritishColumbia, provides drinking water tomore than 68,000 residential and com-mercial customers through 380 kilome-tres of water mains. Located 26 miles eastof Vancouver on the north bank of theFraser River, the District was experienc-ing leaks and main breaks in sections ofits water system, which is comprisedmainly of ductile iron pipe. However, ap-proximately 18% of its water system iscomprised of asbestos cement and castiron, and most of the leaks and breaks areexperienced in these areas.

Normally, Maple Ridge would analyzethe break histories of parts of its water

Maple Ridge turned for help to Echo-logics LLC, a developer of advancedacoustic-based technologies for waterloss management, leak detection, andpipe condition assessment. A subsidiaryof Mueller Water Products, Inc., Echo-logics works with municipalities world-wide to isolate “silent” leaks thattraditional leak detection and condition

assessment methodologies fail to find. Itsproprietary sensor and signal condition-ing technologies substantially reduceboth electronic “white” noise as well asambient background noise often createdby running water, traffic or pumps. Itworks well on all pipes regardless of di-ameter, geometry, material, etc.

standard pipe appurtenances such as hy-drants, valves, or direct attachments to thepipe’s outer wall. The system also has theability to assess the structural condition oftransmission mains and distributionpipelines, including a unique solution forasbestos cement pipe.

Mitchell wanted to gauge the accuracyof the company’s condition assessmentcapabilities. Therefore, the District hadEchologics assess the condition of twosections of 6-in. asbestos cement pipe inits system, which it already knew wasbadly degraded.

In order to conduct the acoustic-basedsurveys, engineers placed two hydro-phones on valves and fire hydrants thatwere connected to selected sections of thesystem. Once the hydrophones were inplace, a correlator listened for variationsof acoustic signals that were introducedinto the pipes by flowing water from hy-drants, physically tapping on appurte-nances such as valves, or by attachingvibro-mechanical shakers to the system.Changes in the acoustic signals enabledengineers to accurately measure wallthickness of the pipes, while simultane-ously pinpointing leaks without breaking

The results were found to be nearly iden-tical. The company’s findings accuratelyindicated that both pipes had remainingwall thicknesses of 7.7 mm, which meantthat the pipes were significantly de-graded. They had lost more than half(-54.2%) of their original wall thickness.

The ability to accurately and non-in-vasively locate leaks and assess the wallthickness of pipes is a result of Leakfind-erRT, a Windows-based leak detectionand pipe condition assessment system. Itsability to accurately detect leaks on as-bestos cement and metallic pipes is a re-sult of an enhanced correlation function,which dramatically improves its ability toaccurately identify and locate narrow-band leak noise. This capability is idealfor plastic pipes, multiple leak situations,and scenarios where there is a largeamount of background noise, or whereleak sensors have to be closely spaced.

Maple Ridge now uses results fromEchologics’ leak detection and pipe con-dition assessments, along with its pipebreakage histories, to help prioritize re-pairs and replacement of its water system.A pattern of break reductions has beenestablished for the District. In 2010, therewere a total of six breakages in the sys-tem. In 2011, there were only two.

To address this operational roadblock,LEI took steps to resolve the issue throughadditional operating time, but the associ-ated maintenance required to keep the ag-itator running became cost prohibitive.

LEI contacted Siemens for help in ex-ploring alternatives for modifying the ex-isting compost agitator operation in orderto reach its design capacity. After consid-ering several options, the two companiesdecided to replace LEI’s current agitatorwith a custom-built 100-hp IPS CompostAgitator, and install it within the existinginfrastructure of the facility. The plan alsoinvolved a combination of minor struc-tural and mechanical modifications to thefacility to help meet its economic and op-erations goals.

“Our options were to either drasticallymodify our plant structure to accommo-date the new IPS system, or haveSiemens modify its machine to fit our ex-isting structure,” said Don MacDonell,LEI Operations Manager. “We workedout a solution where we modified ourplant slightly, and Siemens modified itssystem slightly.”

Part of these modifications includedinstalling rails to the existing bay walls,before the new IPS was delivered and in-stalled.

The original agitator rode directly onthe concrete walls and was unable tomaintain proper traction throughout the

operating cycle, thereby reducing theamount of material the machine was ableto mix and process. The addition of rails,a relatively easy fix that was done in con-junction with the other changes, effec-tively addressed this problem.

Running at capacity with one IPS agitator

Making modifications to the existingfacility and some of the equipment, ratherthan replacing the entire composting sys-tem, allowed the team to complete theproject on an aggressive schedule. The100-hp IPS Agitator was ordered in June2010, delivered in early January 2011 andwas made operational within a few days.The new agitator was able to process allsix bays in the original 10-hour workday.

With only one agitator operating on amore reduced time frame than the origi-nal machine, overall operating and main-tenance expenses have been significantlyreduced and throughput greatly im-proved. Now that the system is truly run-ning automatically, plant personnel arecontinuing their efforts to focus on im-proving overall facility logistics.
