S.P.CW. LOCATION

DATE: June 18, 1991

I

RECO~ATIONt
That Committee determine if any potential sites are available in the City of Port Coquitlam for
re-location of the S,P.C.A. facility.

BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:
The current S.P.C.A. facilities are located in Coquitlam. Bryan Kirk informs me that the District
of Coquitlan would like the facility re-located since they are getting complaints from the
adjacent residential areas. Apparently the District of Coquitlam has searched their municipality
and feel that there are no appropriate sites for such a facility and they have therefore asked the
other two partners in the S.P.C.A. agreement i.e. Port Moody and Port Coquitlam to see if the
facilities can be re-located to these communities.
The facilities would consist of animal holding cages and the disposal burner system. My

information is that such a facility would require full permits through the Ministry of
Environment and G.V.R.D. and that emission standards would be fairly strict in this regard.

MEMORANDUM
TO:

Environmental Protection Committee,

FROM:

C.F. Gaudry, P. Eng.,
Deputy City Engineer

SUBJECT:

SPCA LOCATION

DATE: June 20, 1991

That Conunittee advise Council of the search for a potential site in Port Coqui'tarn and tbe
detennihation that none was available.
Backttrotmd and Comments

EPC directed staff to do a quick review of properties available in Port Coquitlam that could
potentially accept the siting of an SPCA facility. A review was done of all City owned property
and potential private sites that might be purchased and/or used. Because of the requirement for
an incineration system, no potential suitable site could be found in this review.

It should also be noted that I was in contact with the GVRD Air Quality and Source Control
Department and discussed the permitting requirements for the facility. Basically, the materials
to be disposed of through the burner system are classified as pathological wastes and therefore
would be subject to some fairly stringent guidelines for the installation of the burner. Guidelines
and limits similar to those imposed on the GVRD's/Bumaby garbage incinerator would not be
unreasonable. This would translate into a very difficult and expensive program. Please also
note, however, that no legislated regulations are in place in BC either through the Provincial
Ministry of Environment or the GVRD.

The Environmental Protection Committee was asked to review any potential suitable locations

It should also be noted that the Engineering Department was in contact with the GVRD Air
Quality and Source Control Department and discussed the permitting requirements for any
potential incineration system. Basicaliy, the materials to be disposed of through the burner
system would be classified as pathological wastes, and therefore would be subject to some fairly
stringent guidelines for the installation of the system. Guidelines and limits similar to those
imposed on the GVRD's Bumaby Garbage Incinerator would not be unexpected. This would
translate into a very difficult and expensive program.

REDUCE~STE EFFICIENTLY WITH YOUR QI'eeA GEf+j" COMPOSTER!
What is composting?

Composting is a process by which organic waste
such as vegetable matter, fruit, are changed through
bacterial and mold action into an earthlike mass
called compost. Earth worms, beetles and larva are
helpful in the process.
To allow the composting process to work properly,
moisture and oxygen to keep the micro-flora active
are an absolute must. Heat is generated during this
process and adding just the dight combination of
waste matter will help promote the ideal temperatures for beneficial growth.

THE TAPERED WALL~ALLOWS FOR BETTER
VENTILATION ALONG THE WALLS.
THE PERFORATED BOTTOM FLOOR (1) ALLOWS
THE UNIT TO BREATH. Lets in air and beneficial
larva and earthworms while helping to keep roderts
out. For best operation read the following carefully.

LOCATION

The best place for your composter is in the shade.

Most organic waste which can be broken dawn biologically can be used to make your own compost.
However to make sure that your system works best we
suggest you fallow these guidelines:
Make use of the following waste:
~ Household waste: coffee, filters, teabags, eggshells, paper kitchen towels, cut flowers, vegetables, peels and leftovers.
~

Garden waste: grass clippings, leafs, weeds
without ripe seeds, plants, etc. Tough materials
such os vine leafs and oak loafs should be used
in small auantities at the time.

Air and Water

When making compost, the right proportion of moisture and air is of vital importance. Too much moisture
keeps the air out and a shortage of oxygen results.
This promotes a slow rotting process which subsequent unpleasant odours.
The green GENIE. COMPOSTER isidesigned so
that both air and moisture can easily be regulated.
The ADJUSTABLE LID (4) is part of the ventilation
system. It helps prevent the compost from getting too
wet or drying out, helps keep out paste and helps
prevent ths formation of unpleasant odours.
Air channels may be opened or closed by simply tuming the lid which will increase or decrease the air
circulation reaulating the condensation. When the

COMPOSTER
Getting Started

~ To get the unit started ws suggest that you first

cover the bottom floor (1) with some course material, eg. small twigs, flower stalks. This preparation will promote better air movement in your compaster.
4 Mix wet and dry waste. Don't add to much wet or too
much dry waste at any one time.
4 To allow for optimum ventilation, don't compress
the waste when adding to your composter.
~ To
speedup the process you may wish to add some
organic waste accelerator(available at most garden
centres).
~ Once
your corn poster is in operation, a little of the
"finished" compost added to the new material will
accelerate the process.
Nots: Organic waste consists mainly of water, therefore it is seldom necessary to add water.

I

Don't add large items
Micro organisms work very slowly on large items

such as cabbage stalks and hedge clippings. far
best results these items should be shredded before.
adding to your composter.

Not too much of the same

Don' add thick layers of one!iind of waste Make sure
that you balance the layers. For example, it is not
advisable to fill the unit with grass dippings only during the summer time or nothing but hedgeclippings

lt is advisable to sieve the compost with a coarse
sieve. This separates the insufficienily composted
residue, which can be returned to your corn poster to
impregnate the new rubbish with the relevant bacteria and molds.
Since organic waste mainly consists of water there
is no need to worry that your composter srll overllow
right away, because the material shdinks tremendously.

As in all natural processes, composting takes time.
The microorganisms are thorough but slow. Approximately 3 months after start up you will be able to take
the sist usable compost from the bottom of your cornposter by simply removing the BOTTOM
