Lo(CKGROU~CQ(UMEiqXR This is a summary of my conversations with Mr. Sisto Bosa, Environmental Protection Officer, Municipal Section, Ministry of Environment; Mr. Sam Turk, Project Manager, Novatec Consultants lncq Mr. Jim Lowrie, Director of Engineering & Development Services, District of Pitt Meadows; and Mr. John Garins, Dewdney Ailouette Regional District regarding Swan-E-Set Bay Resort effluent discharge permit. The existing sewage discharge is approximately 40 cubic metre per day to 50 cubic metre per day. The existing allowable discharge permit is 100 cubic metre per day. The sewage discharge will have minimum effect to the temperature of Pitt River (the variance is less than The proposed tertiary wastewater treatment plant at Swan-E-Set include: anoxic zone; aeration tanks; secondary clarifier, tertiary sand filters; and ultraviolet radiation disinfection. There is a diesel generator for standby power in the event of a power failure. If the stardby diesel generator fails, no sewage will be discharged into Pitt River since the the treated wastewater must be pump into Pitt River from the treatment plant. An additional 8 cubic metres (8,000 litres) of emergency effluent storage capacity will be provided in the proposed tertiaiy treatment plant. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) is satisfied with the proposed sewage discharge amendment to 4 I 0 cubic metre per day. The DFO requires Swan-E-Set to demonstrate that the discharge is non-toxic to fish, provide standby power, and the existing sanitary forcemain is capable nf handling the proposed discharge volume. Ail of these requirements were fulfilled by Swan-E-Set. The proposed 410 cubic metre per day sewage discharge is for Phase 3 of the Swan-E-Set development plan. Therefore, there is the possibility that Swan-E-Set will apply for another amendment to the sewage discharge permit if additional phases are scheduled in the future and if there is a potential increase in sewage discharge. Swan-E-Set Bay Resort is not under the District of Pitt Meadows iurisdiction, it is located in Pitt Polder and is under the jurisdiction of the Dewdney Allouette Regional District. The District of pitt Meadows h as no objection to the waste discharge permit amendment if the proposed treatment lant meets all of p MOE ieqnirements. I').

However, the Board of Directors will not consider any more development plan from Swan-E-Set unless they provide a comprehensive development plan to the DARD in advance. The proposed advanced secondary with tertiary filtration trcatrnent plant include the anoxic zone which is a biological treatment process that biologically convert nitrate nitrogen to nitrogen gas. The aeration tanks is to promote the growth of micmorganisms to convert organic matter into various gases and into cell tissue. The secondary clarifier is to separate mixed-liquor suspended solids from the treated wastewater, which results in a clarified effluent. The tertiary sand filters is to remove BOD and ammonia from the clarified effluent. The ultraviolet radiation disinfection is to eliminate bacterial and vims while not contributing to the forrtation of toxic compo"mds.

That Committee receive this memorandum for information only. OUND dte COMMFiNTSe ouncillor Ron Talbot has requested an update on the soil remediation process at 2609 Shaughncssy Street, mpcrial Oil Ltd. I have contacted Mr. Bruce MacEachern of O'onnor Associates, who is the Environmental consuhants for Imperial Oil Ltd., to discuss the remediation process and the following is summary of our conversation. The remeeliation works are going well and is expected to complete ahead of the initial schedule of September 1995. Mr. MacEachern expects that all remediation works will be completed by June 1995. The remediation works are approximately 60 % - 70 % completed. Eio-celi samples are taken from the site and analyze every month. If the bio-cell level from the samples meets the Ministry of Environment's contaminated site Level C standards, the soils will be moved back into the hole and compacted. Soil samples will be taken around the perimeter of the site for analysis. If the bio-cell level in the soil samples exceeds the Level C standards, O'onnor Associates will request permission from the City to excavate on City property to remediate the contaminated soils at the perimeter of the site. Once all remediation works are completed, the Ministry of Environment will review the remediation work. If the bio-cell level meets the Level C standards, tbe Ministry will issue a permit approving the site safe for commercial development. O'onnor Associates will request permission from Imperial Oil Ltd. to provide the City with a copy of the soil remediation report once it becomes availablc.
