WHY- the Problem of Dumpsites
  • PROVINCIAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

4
2002 Dumpsites
  • approximately 250 dumpsites
  • 53 tee-pee incinerators
  • Leachate
  • Open burning, incineration
  • Methane gas
  • Unsightly, nuisance, odours, hazardous

5
2008 Status
  • Measurables
  • approximately 200 dumpsites - from 250 plus
  • 24 tee-pee incinerators from 53
  • Open burning reduced

6
WHAT - 2002 Strategy
  • Call to Action on Environmental Protection
    (Public Consultation Report, 2001)

7
Provincial Waste Management Strategy 2002
  • Increase waste diversion

  • Public Education
  • Estimated 200M capital

8
Provincial Waste Management Strategy 2007

WHERE - Regional Approach
  • PROVINCIAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

11
Regional Approach
  • 15 Waste Management Zones
  • 11 on Island
  • 4 in Labrador
  • 3 Regional Waste Management Facilities
  • Eastern, Central, West

12
Labrador
  • Study of central site options
  • Remote coastal locations
  • Straits area

13
Northern Peninsula
  • First Regional Waste Management Authority
    established under Regional Service Board Act.
  • NorPen providing regional waste management
    services
  • Interim consolidations underway
  • 8 sites have closed including 4 incinerators

14
Western Region
  • Committee established
  • In process of developing terms of reference for
    study for site selection and waste management
    system
  • Sub-regional studies getting underway to consider
    interim consolidation options to current
    incinerators

15
Baie Verte Region
  • Green Bay Waste Authority Inc has been operating
    successfully for several years, serving 17
    communities
  • Initial efforts underway to establish regional
    committee

16
Central Region
  • Committee established
  • Site selected near Norris Arm
  • Tenders expected this year to start construction
    of host site
  • estimated cost 40M
  • Wet/dry waste separation

  • Possibility of transportation to Central Regional
    Facility

18
Avalon Region
  • Committee appointed inaugural meeting May 7,

  • Ramea
  • Grey River
  • Mud Lake

22
Costs
  • Approximate per household 100 to 120
  • 37 of waste stream is paper 30 organic
  • Reduce waste volumes reduce cost

23
Fact Sheet
  • Household generates about ¾ tonnes of MSW
  • 37 of waste stream is paper 30 organic
  • Example
  • 23,000 people on Burin Peninsula
  • 23,000 / 2.2 per HH 10,455 HH
  • 10,455 x ¾ tonne 7841 tonne per year
  • 7841 tonne / 52 151 tonne per week
  • 151 / 5 30 tonne per day
  • Get-to-half 15 tonne per day
  • Long haul compactor truck range of 20 27 tonne

24
What does it mean for you?
  • Cleaner, healthier, safer environment
  • Improve tourism product
  • Efficient collection and disposal of waste
