Iqaluit Waste Transfer
The Iqaluit (Nunavut) Waste Transfer Facility is the first of its kind in northern Canada to source-separate municipal solid waste into recyclable, compostable and landfill-disposed streams. Operational set-up and staff training will be provided for collection, transfer, recycling and disposal waste services.
Alberta Composting Study
The study provided detailed business plans for the development and operation of aerobic composting and anaerobic digester processing facilities for municipal source-separated organics in Edmonton and Calgary. Plant capacities in excess of 60,000 metric tonnes per year were examined.
Creation of Municipal-Controlled Corporation
The creation of Alberta's first for profit, municipal-controlled corporation dedicated to the solid waste industry was a seminal event for the shareholding communities in Beaver County Alberta. Careful leadership and guidance transformed a regional waste commission into a corporation that provides millions of dollars in annual dividends to the shareholders.
Regional Landfill Expansion
The Beaver Regional Landfill near Ryley Alberta is one of Canada's largest municipal solid waste landfills disposing of up to 1 million metric tonnes of waste per year. Diligent management of waste operations coupled with frequent and transparent community outreach created an economic anchor to the neighbouring communities while exceeding environmental control standards.
Membrane Bioreactor Municipal Wastewater Treatment
The iconic LaHave River valley in the south shore of Nova Scotia is a sensitive Atlantic salmon-breeding river. Big box retail development near the community of Bridgewater required the development and environmental approval of Atlantic Canada's first membrane bioreactor wastewater treatment plant. The plant was designed to meet a strict phosphorous discharge limit to protect the receiving water environment.
Greensand Municipal Water Treatment
The university community of Sackville New Brunswick was plagued for years with iron and manganese-laden drinking water that often smelled foul and stained laundry. The "greensand" (potassium permanganate) water treatment solution that successfully treated the community's water supply was one of the first of its kind used for smaller New Brunswick communities relying on ground water well supply.
