ITEM V: HOME COMPOSIlNG The Conunittee considered a report from the Deputy City Engineer. While it was understood that the full $ 40,000 for the over-all composting program for the City had been removed from the 1991 Budget, Committee considered its options. The Committee found that various levels of assistance and encouragement could be provided by the City to his residence with corresponding costs. A fuB progratn would cost approximately $ 40,000. On the other end of the scale a project with minunal participation by the City with a small financial contribution to provide demonstration projects located at garden centres in the City will cost approximately $ 1,500. Home composting has the potential to remove 20%-30% (by weight) of household garbage. The Committee therefore recommends: That $ 1,500 be app-oved from the recycling budget to set up Home Composting demonstration projects at both the Art Knapp's Plantland Store and the David Hunter Garden Centre. ITEM VI: VANCOUVER BOARD OF TRADE The Committee considered a report from the Vancouver Board of Trade requesting support for evirotunental issues. The Vancouver Board of Trade through their Environmental Task Force undertook a study on Air Emissions in the Lower Mainland. The report established that air quality in the Lower Mainland has been diminished over the past few years because shear growth has overwhelmed technological advances in emission reductions from industry. One of the largest contributors is the automobile, and therefore any environmental initiative that can eliminate exhaust emissions and/or encourage transit will benefit the air quality in the Lower Mainland. The Vancouver Board of Trade also recognizes that the present fragmented system of jurisdictions in the management of various aspects of air quality in the Lower Mainland is not as effective as it could be. They have studied the Air Quality Management Board in Los Angeles and believe that an agency along those lines should be established in the Lower Mainland. Committee directed that more information be obtained on some of the recommendations and information in the report, particularly those dealing with the public transit system and the Los Angeles Air Quality Management Board. Information will be collected and reported back to Committee as soon as it is available. Con't .../3 ENVIRONMENTAL ITEM VH: PR~ON COMMXITEE MINUTES Cont'd...

OTHER BUSINH5R AL GIUST PORT COOUITLAM AND DISTRICT HUNTING dt: FISHING CLUB — Mr, Grist was invited to the Committee meeting to update Committee members on the status of his organizations efforts to obtain water frotn the Greater Vancouver Regional District to the Fish Hatchery. Mr. Grist provided the Conunittee with a letter from the G.V.R.D. dated March 27, 1991 indicating that they were one step closer to obtaining a permanent water supply from the G.V.R.D. for the Fish Hatchery. Mr. Grist will keep the Committee updated on the matter. Mr. Grist also requested the Committee's assistance in exploring the Greater Vancouver Regional Water District's intention to use chloromine as a water purifier instead of chlorine. It appears that from the technical literature provided that chloromine stays with the water longer and in some instances has been responsible for fish kills in rivers when normal domestic water has accidentally escaped into nearby streams snd water courses. Mr. Grist supplied the Committee with a report on the Furgus Creek Fish Kill which happended in October 1989 in Surrey. Mr. Grist also offered to investigate the Federal Fisheries and Oceans project taking place on the west bank of the Coquitlam River just south of the Bailey Bridge off Pitt River Road. He will notify Kip Gaudry with the information who in turn will notify the Committee. The Meeting Adjourned at 6:45 p.m. C.F. (Kip) Gaudry, P. Eng. Deputy City Engineer Alderman J.

BACKGROUND 6 COMMFNTN s North Vancouver have for the past several years marketed re-refined motor oil. Historically, it was more expensive tl!an virgin crude and this deterred slot. of potential users. Xt is our understanding now that the current rate for the re-refined motor oil is close to or less than equivalent rates for virgin crude. In talking with Gord Voncina, Operations Manager, he indicates that the'y are looking at a program of introducing re-refined motor oil to the City fleet in Mohawk Oil of At this point they have not completed their research and made their final plans. 1991.

For the city there is the savings in dumpage charges realized from the diversion of compost from the landfill. For the residents there is the satisfaction of reducing their waste and creating a useful product from their organic refuse. I it For these reasons was decided to look into a home composting program for Port Coquitlam, 2.0 HONE CONPOSTING OPTIONS There are two types of home composting programs that a city can initiate. The first is an intensive program where the city purchases composters and sells them to residents for a reduced rate. The second type of involves promotion of composting and set-up program of compost. demonstration 'gardens. 2.1 An Intensive Home Comnostina Proaram This type of program is being started in many other municipalities (Vancouver, North Vancouver, Kamloops, Seattle). The city purchases a quantity of composters and distributes them to residents. The program is promoted through direct mail-out and newspaper ads. mm n M'm g 8 I! I I I The cost of the composter for the residents is reduced because of the 1/3 provincial grant and the large quantity purchase made by the city. Residents usually end up paying from $ 20 to $ 30 for the units. The costs for this type of program for Port Coquitlam are as follows: Exnenses: 750 composters 8 S60 each Advertising. Administration $ 45,000 $ 6,000 $ 7.000 Subtotal S58,000 Revenue . Provincial grant 8 1/3 composter cost... $ 15,000 Resident purchase $ 1/2 composter cost.. $ 22 500 Subtotal: $ 37,500 Net Cost to City $ 20,500 For this year only 750 composters would be demand is in excess of 750 units purchased'f the program can be expanded in 1992 by purchasing additional composters. 2.2 A Promotional/Demonstration Garden Proaram This program would involve set-up of a compost demonstration garden in the city. The site could be city-run or operating by local garden centres or garden clubs. The demonstration site would be un-manned and would showcase different types of composters and compost methods.

Incineration of wood wastes today as in ihe past is essential to minimize the unnecessary disposal of these materials in Lower Mainland landfills. In addition, sawdust and wood chips are used for pulp and hog fuel provides a relatively inexpensive local alternative to oil for power generation. Wood wastes from the sawmill industry are triuispoited by barge to coastal pulp mills for use in hog fired power boilers. As noted in the following section, the forest products industry is exploring new initiatives for the cogeneration of electricity from wood wastes. The high efliciency boilers and state of the art pollution control devices required by these facilities will further reduce air emissions resulting from hog fuel combustion. products industries such as lywood plants and lumber uring facilities have a long history n in the Lower Mainland.

As a result of the shift in hog fuel consumpiion and the increasingly tighter GVRD pollution control requirements, the air emissions from this industrial sector have been dramatically reduced and will continue to be reduced in the luture. Pollution control devices such as bag houses have been used for many years throughout the industry for dust conuol. Increasingly sophisticated pollution abatement devices such as electrostatic precipitators are becoming more common as Lower Mainland air emission standards increase. Combustion of hog fuel continues to provide a relatively inexpensive source of heat energy for the kiln drying of lumber at some operations, however, natural gas and electricity are rapidly replacing hog fuel for this application. With the increasing trend for mills to convert lumber drying operations to alternate energy sources, many hog fuel boilers in the Lower Mainland have been shut down and this trend will continue in the future.

Ail Refineries One of the programs recently started by the Four oil reluieries in the Lower Mainland in conjunction with the GVRD is the "GVRD- Petroleum Refinery Environmental Assessment" project. This project includes the assessing of existing and potential future environmental impacts, evaluating options, costs and benefits for reduction of waste discharges, and establishing new limits for emissions from Lower Mainland refineries. Of the various gases involved in the formation of ozone, of concern to the refineries are volatile organic compounds (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Oxides of sulphur (SOx) can also conuibute to reduced air quality so efforts to minimize emissions of this gas are also included. Volatile Organic Comoounds (VOCsl In oil refineries, VOCs are present in some of the products made when crude oil is refined. Some of the efforts being undertaken to reduce emissions of VOC's include installation of secondary seals between the floating roof and the walls of the tanks on crude oil storage tanks, and installation of secondary seals on floating roof tanks containing gasoline. Other methods being used to reduce emissions are: Changing pump shaft seals from the packed type to mechanical type. Replacement of reciprocating gas compressors with centrifugal compressors. Changing tank mixer shaft seals from packing to mechanical type. The installation of vapour recovery facilities on tank truck loading racks will also recover vapour from the loading of trucks at terminals and from tmck deliveries to service stations. Reduction in gasoline vapour pressure in summer months to 10.5 Reid vapour pressure from the previous 12.0 maximum resulted in reduced emissions from filling automobiles at service stations and reduced evaporative emissions during automobile use. Oxides of Nitroaen (Is(Ox) Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are generated as a result of combustion of fuel in furnaces and boilers. Efforts m minimize generation of these gases include more efficient combustion control technology. An example of this is provided by the addition of computer control systems on boilers and furnaces. Another effort undertaken is the installation of burners designed to give low NOx in the combustion gases. Oxides of Sulnhur (ssOx) Oxides of sulphur (SOx) are generated as a result of combustion of fuel containing sulphur. The main method used to reduce these emissions is to mmove the sulphur compounds from the pmcess gases prior to use as fuel in the process heaters. Desulphurized natural gas is used as a secondary fuel and as well, the choice of emergency fuel has been changed to the use of diesel fuel which is lower in sulphur content than the fuel oil previously used. Cement Industries IV. Particulates Oxides of Nitrogen (NOxl The manufacture of Portland cement can be classified as a traditional "heavy industry". Unlike, for example, an oil refinery, the raw materials and the finished product are solid In a cement piant, NOx emissions originate in the rotary kiln. Finely milled rock is fed to the kiln and converted to clinker, an intermediate product in the manufacturing process, through a series of chemical reactions. Fuels used in the kilns in the Lower Mainland include natural gas, coal and fuel oil. So-called waste fuels such as landfill gas, scrap vehicle tires and coal tailings are also being used. Because a high temperature (about 1400'C) is necessary for the formation of clinker, oxides of nitrogen or NOx will always be created as a by-product of combustion. The amount of NOx formed can be reduced by good operating controls. For example, a modem cement plant will have sophisticated instrumentation and a computerized control system to assist the operator to maintain optimum combustion and stable kiln operation. Since the amount of NOx produced is proportional to fuel consumption, modem kilns equipped wiih preheaters or precalciners, which reduce specific fuel consumption, produce less NOx per tonne of product than older kilns. substances. The unit processes in a cement plant are materials handling, crushing, ~nding, milling and pyroprocessing. As a result, the control of particulate emissions is an integral part of the design and operation of a modem cement plant. Baghouse or fabric filter dust collectors are widely used in cement plants wherever material is transferred or conveyed, and in the grinding and milling systems. For example, ai Tilbury 'Cement Limited in Delta, over fifty baghouse dust collectors are in use throughout the plant. Baghouse dust collectors have been in use in the cement and other industries for many years and, witii regular maintenance, give excellent service. In recent years, the performance has been further improved by the use of high-tech fabrics for bag construction and the use of micro-processor controls for bag cleaning. Many years ago, the main exhaust stack of a cement kiln would have been de-dusted only by a knock-out chamber or perhaps a cyclone dust collector. Today all kilns are fitted with either a baghouse dust collector or an electrostatic precipitator. Both types of equipment can achieve high particulate removal efficiencies with discharge particulate levels well under GVRD limits. Oxides of isulohur (SOx) The two cement plants in the Lower Mainland region have recognized the importance of reducing the emissions of sulphur dioxide and in this regard have made a numlber of significant process changes. This work has resulted in sulphur dioxide emissions, based on actual stack emission tests, being reduced by approximately 90% over the past five years. - ~Bi~smc 3 98 — ~Rsusouusllwlsp &l~~~aBRRIIiiiiimgffs"~~tlI see5gil~'jig~j gBeumimtllmIiiiiufi'l ~ulsy[~g/gi~/~/// 5&LIW'Ii) ~~ ~i% ~ ~ ~ asasauulllmm~tB I ~ uw lmmres 8 I i %5 I I R k ~1ooortttnities for nse in Resource Rccoverv The cement manufacturing process uses flame temperature in excess of 2000'C in rotary kilns to convert a pulverized mixture of raw materials into an intermediate pmduct called clinker, which in turn is finely ground with about 5% gypsum to produce cement. Sustained high temperatures, the long residence time of hot gases and turbulence in the cement kiln ensure efficient waste destruction. The cement kiln's gas scrubbing action and trapping of ash in the clinker provide added environmental benefits. Extensive testing in Eumpe has demonstrated the effectiveness of cement kilns in destroying wastes, and in a recent test in Norway, they found no detectable emissions resulting ftom burning PCB's. This is consistent with test burns done in Canada, where test results showed destruction levels of at least 99.999976%. The cement kilns can be used effectively to safely destroy all combustible municipal wastes. With the separation processes related to recycling eliminating reusable materials, it is now even more beneficial to burn the 16% combustible materials. Not only does it reduce the amount going to landfill, but it also provides a more effective way of eliminating toxic or hazardous wastes and reduces the amount of "new" fuel, in the form of natural gas, coal or fuel oil, that would otherwise be required.

Hvdro Bnrrard Thermal Generatina Station Burrard Themial is located on the north shore of Burrard Inlet about 17km east of Vancouver. This electrical generating facility burns natural gas to produce steam to six generators that when fully loaded produce 912 megawatts of power. This is enough energy to supply electricity to half a million homes each year. B.C. Hydro is committed to impmving the air quality in the Lower Mainland and has consistently worked to achieve or surpass both the Federal Standards and those imposed by the Greater Vancouver Regional District in relation to the Burrard Thermal Generating Station. For example, B.C. Hydro has decreased Burrard Thermal air emissions through improved operational methods by 40% and has voluntarily subscribed to more restrictive emission standard than originally prepared by the GVRD. Burrard would also curtail its operation whenever the air quality index is pmdicted to exceed 50 for five or more continuous hours. This occurs, on average, about nine days per year. These measures have positioned Burrard Thermal as one of the cleanest thermal power plants in North America. A mcent inventory of all airborne emissions in the Lower Mainland found that Burrard Thermal, operating at full capacity with an unlimited year-round supply of natural gas fuel, would emit less than 4% of the total nitrogen oxide and less than 0.01% of re'active hydrocarbons. Burrard operations have been considerably below this maximum annual capacity. t sources and maintained to ensure continuing good performance. of components one smog, their have lead to This is ailotller area where iildustry is part sscous emissions. attempt to Lower Mainland ary source of obile. of the solution.
