The review of the materials will consider: • Appropriate consideration of air emissions in the site selection and review process. This would iriclude a review of how existing air quality is considered in the selection process; as well as reviewing how the human exposure impacts are addressed (e.g. maximums, exposed populations, sensitive receptors). • Review of proposed technology and the appropriateness of the air emission characterization for those technologies. • Are the emissions from the proposed facility appropriately characterized? Are all possible emissions considered? I n the review we would ask: Are they appropriate for the site and the proposed operations? Are all sources considered? Were they estimated using the most current data and methods/equations? Was consideration given to worst-case, average-case emissions and upset conditions? • Are the control measures appropriate for the technology? Are they adequate? Are the control measures proposed consistent with current best practices? • Air quality modeling. It is essential that the appropriate air q uality model be used for the assessment. This model should be capable of handling multiple sources, varying meteorological conditions and multiple receptors. The review will consider: Was the appropriate model used? Was it used in the correct mode? Are the results interpreted correctly? Were all sources considered? Were the appropriate meteorological data used? Was deposition considered? This will entail a review of the input parameters to the model. • liiipact levels. Have the appropriate locations been considered in the impact assessment? Was special attention given to sensitive receptors (schools, ecologically sensitive areas, nearby residents)? MOE has standards for many of the emitted compounds. Have these AMEC E&C Services Ltd. 885 Don Mills Road Don Mills, ON, M3C 1V9 Tel 416-445-9959 Fax 416-445-9307 www.amec.com scope of work Clarington Rev1.doc Page 2 been appropriately chosen and used? How has the assessment addressed multi-media impacts (e.g. deposition)? How are compounds that do not h ave MOE standards addressed? Were nuisance impacts considered? Were potential future standards considered? What response plans have been developed to deal w ith complaints and impacts? We would be able to start work immediately and based on our discussions, we will be able to meet the projected schedule for the various review tasks. At present there are no specific tasks. We would propose that as specific tasks are developed (i.e. review of specific documents and phases of the project) that a budget would be developed for each review. We would base this budget on my current rate of $150 per hour. This does not include GST or expenses. For budgeting purposes we would propose the following task budgets: Task 1: Review of Site Selection process and air quality aspects: $4500 Task 2: Review of Finat Site Selection and air quality aspects: $3000 Task 3: Review of Environmental Assessment -Air Quality $12500 This would include an ai r quality review of relevant reports on the site selection process, the air quality aspects of the final site selection and the detailed review of the air quality impact assessment for the Environmental Assessment. Tasks 1 and 2 include one meeting with the Municipality and project team, Task 3 includes two meetings with the Municipality and Project Team. These separate budgets would be a "not to exceed" effort. Should other tasks or activities (e.g. extra meetings, hearing attendance) be required, they would not be undertaken until further authorization was provided. It is assumed.that Dr. Tony van der Vooren will be the only person working on this project. His ciriculum vitae is attached. Dr. van der Vooren's responsibilities within AMEC, include the management of and technical input into the following types of studies: air emission inventories (including environmental audits and assessments); regulatory approvals; air pollution control studies, air quality and impact evaluation and modeling; stack sampling and monitoring; and, risk assessment. He has extensive experience (about 25 years) in the performance of such studies for a wide variety of clients across all industrial sectors. Recently he has been involved in peer reviews for the City of Ajax for the Duffin Creek expansion, the Towns of Warwick and Napanee for the expansion of major landfills in their areas. If other AMEC staff are required, this would not be done with prior authorization by Clarington. If you have any questions or would like further clarification, please give me a call. In order for rre to star t the review, please sign the attached letter tc i..dicate y our acceptance. Looking forward working on this project!
