Meeting: General Purpose and Administration Committee File #
Date: Monday, February 21, 1994 Res. #
Report #:
PD -20 -94 File #: By-Law #
Subject: REVISED APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL FOR
A WASTE DISPOSAL SITE - DETOX ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITED
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD -20 -94 be received;
2. THAT the Ministry of Environment and Energy be advised that
the Municipality withdraw its request for a hearing under the
Environmental Protection Act as it pertains to the Revised
Application by Detox Environmental Ltd. which removes the
waste processing component from the original application
subject to the applicant meeting all requirements of the
Ministry including the provision for containment of spills and
gas release; and
3. THAT all interested parties listed in this report and all
delegations be advised of Council's decision.
REPORT:
1. By letter dated December 6, 1993, the Ministry of Environment
and Energy advised the Municipality that Detox Environmental
Ltd. has amended its application for a Certificate of Approval
for a Waste Disposal Site by removing the waste processing
component from the application. Said correspondence was
considered by Council at its January 24, 1994 meeting and was
referred to staff for comment and report.
2. The waste processing component was explained under Paragraph
3.2 of Report PD- 196 -92, copy of the entire report is
reproduced for reference purpose.

REPORT NO.: PD -20 -94 PAGE 2
3. With the removal of the waste processing component, the Detox's
application would be limited to waste transfer function which is
explained in Paragraph 3.3 of Report PD- 196 -92.
4. Detox Environmental Ltd. currently operates under a Provisional
Certificate of Approval from the Ministry of Environment and Energy
to allow the company to transport wastes between the sites of
origin and disposal or treatment facilities. The revised
application would allow the company to store the waste within the
existing building on Bennett Road on a temporary basis before
transferring to waste disposal or treatment facilities.
5. The revised application does not involve any expansion to the
existing building although Detox has earlier indicated it may
expand its operation at some point in the future. In any event,
future expansion is subject to application for approval to the
Ministry of Environment and Energy and the Municipality will have
the opportunity to provide comments to the Ministry at that time.
6. With the removal of the process component of the application
process such as solvent blending, mixing and filtering of chemicals
will not be performed, thus reducing the possibility of explosion
and the emission of chemical fumes resulting from processing. It
should be noted that planning staff are not experts on this subject
matter and would have to rely on the expertise at the Ministry to
be satisfied that the proposed undertaking of waste transfer would
not impact on the natural environment. The Ministry will review
the technical documents submitted by Detox and will determine
whether or not the proposed undertaking should be granted a
Certificate of Approval.

REPORT ` PD-20-94
7. The removal of the waste processing component from the
Application was initiated by Detox, in an attempt to alleviate
some of the concern raised. Although staff cannot say with
any certainty that there will be no impact on the natural
environment resulting from the waste transfer operation, there
is also no solid evidence to suggest otherwise. This issue
should be best left to the expertise at the Ministry of
Environment and Energy to determine. Nevertheless, staff
would request the Ministry of Environment and Energy to
require Detox to take all necessary measures to prevent the
possibility of spills of liquid waste or releases of toxic
fumes.
8. Staff would like to point out that there are about 60
businesses and industries in Bowmanville alone that have some
sort of temporary storage of chemical or chemical waste.
Detox waste transfer operation is similar to the industries
in this regard. Since a hearing before the Environmental
Assessment Board would only review the technical aspects of
the proposed waste transfer operation, and since the
Municipality has no expertise in such matter and ultimately
would not participate in such a hearing, it would not be
prudent to request a hearing and then not take part in the
hearing process. It should be noted that regardless whether
or not a hearing will be held, Detox has to submit technical
data and information to the Ministry of Environment and Energy
to allow comprehensive evaluation by the Ministry staff as per
the requirements of the Environmental Protection Act.
9. Based on the above comments, staff is of the opinion that the
Municipality should withdraw its request for a Hearing. Detox
and all interested parties have been notified of the meeting
date when this report will be dealt with by the Committee.

1. BACKGROUND
1.1 On July 27, 1992, Council considered a letter from the
Ministry of the Environment, dated July 6, 1992, in respect
of the application by Detox Environmental Limited for a
Provisional Certificate of Approval to operate a Waste
Disposal Site (Processing) on their site at 322 Bennett Road,
Bowmanville. The letter stated that Ministry Staff intended
to recommend to the Director of Approvals that a hearing by

this position were requested by Augus
resolved to refer the correspondence
Planning for review and preparation of a
to Committee.
in respect of the
Council comments on
t 31, 1992. Council
to the Director of
report for submission
1.2 Staff requested the Ministry to extend the deadline for
submission of comments given Council's direction and Council
recess through August. The Ministry subsequently extended the
deadline to September 30, 1992.
1.3 On August 14, 1992, the Town received a letter from the
Ministry which advised that the incorrect form letter was
forwarded in respect of the application by Detox. This new
letter indicates that, "for an application of this type, a
hearing will be held if a site is used to process, hold,
condition or otherwise receive but not dispose of either
liquid industrial wastes or hazardous wastes, unless
sufficient justification is presented for not holding a hearing."
The letter further stated that Council may provide comments
to the Ministry on whether there is sufficient justification
for NOT holding a hearing.
2. EXISTING DETOX OPERATIONS
2.1 Detox Environmental Ltd. provides waste processing services
for a range of industrial clients in Durham Region and
elsewhere. The company currently operates under a Provisional
Certificate of Approval from the Ministry of the Environment
which only permits them to transport wastes from the site of
origin to appropriate disposal or treatment facilities.
2.2 Detox has occupied the former Automotive Paint and Plastics
facility at the southwest corner of Bennett Road and Highway
401 in the South Bowmanville Industrial Park for approximately
3.5 years (Attachment No. 1). The site, which has an area of
,` X53
REPORT NO.: PD- 196 -92 PAGE 3
about 0.87 ha (2.2 acres), is currently only used for vehicle
parking, maintenance and equipment storage. Detox is
connected to the municipal water supply, while sewage
treatment for domestic purposes is provided by an on -site
septic and tile bed. The company currently has eleven full
time employees and has an annual payroll in excess of
$450,000. Attachment No. 2 is information from Detox
explaining its operation and its proposal.
3. PROPOSED WASTE PROCESSING AND TRANSFER OPERATION
3.1 Overview
3.1.1 Detox plans to expand their operations by initiating the
transfer and processing of liquid industrial and hazardous
wastes at the Bennett Road facility. The facility would be
designed to handle or process all waste classes except PCBs,
pathological wastes, and explosive wastes. Detox estimates
that paints and solvents, oils /greases /oily waters, and acids
and alkalis would make up 90% of the material handled. The
remainder would be a broad range of materials such as
pharmaceutical, lab chemicals and household hazardous wastes.
3.1.2 All material received would be handled and stored inside the
existing building, the east half of which is of explosion -
proof design. The facility would be capable of receiving up
to 220,000 L/48,400 gal. of waste per day (65,000 L/14,300
gal. liquid industrial, 25,000 L/5,500 gal. non - hazardous
solid industrial, and 130,000 L/28,600 gal. hazardous) . Waste
would be stored for a maximum of ninety days prior to being
transferred to a disposal facility or other industries.
3.2 Process Operations
3.2.1 Two main process operations would occur at the Detox facility.
Solvent blending would involve the processing of organic
liquids and sludges into a fuel blend within a targeted heat
value range. This process would take place inside the
explosion -proof east side of the building. The fuel blend is
X54
REPORT NO.: PD- 196 -92 PAGE 4
then sold to other industries as a secondary fuel. As well,
clean oil would be extracted from dirty oil and oily water and
sold to other users for reuse.
3.2.2 Inorganic processing would involve mixing compatible acids and
alkaline materials to effect neutralization. In most
reactions, a solid precipitate would form. After mixing, the
solutions (with entrained solids) would be pumped through a
filter press for solids removal. The filter cake and filtrate
would be stored prior to disposal at a Regional Water
Pollution Control Plant. Filter cake with a sufficiently
high metal content would be sold to other industries for
reuse.
3.2.3 Detox estimates that from 50% to 75% of the material. received
at the plant is ultimately recycled or reused in other
industrial processes.
3.3 Waste Transfer
3.3.1 The facility would also function as a consolidation point for
material which is subsequently trans - shipped (that is,
transferred from its original container to another container
for shipment) . Chlorinated solvents and sludges would be
stored and trans - shipped in bulk. Pharmaceutical, cosmetics,
pesticides and small volume aerosol cans would also be
transhipped. Laboratory packs with significant quantities of
solvents may have the solvents withdrawn and blended, and the
remaining contents of the pack repackaged.
3.4 Environmental Controls
3.4.1 Detox proposes to implement a number of environmental control
measures. The internal sprinkler system is connected to
municipal water. Sills and dedicated dyking would be used for
spill or leak containment, with appropriate sorbent materials
stored within each area. A passive spill containment area
with a capacity to hold 13,600 L (3,000 gal.) would be
y ;M.e,
555
REPORT NO.: PD- 196 -92 PAGE 5
established in the exterior loading dock area. As part of
their future expansion plans, Detox plans to replace this
passive spill containment area with an in- ground spill holding
tank with a capacity sufficient to hold the contents of the
largest on -site storage tank plus the contents of a typical
bulk tanker.
3.4.2 A quality assurance /quality control laboratory would be
established on -site to ensure acceptable control of incoming
wastes and shipped materials. The only anticipated source of
continuous atmospheric emissions. would be exhaust from the
analytic laboratory, although intermittent emissions could
consist of tank breather vent emissions and fugitive emissions
from doors and windows. A Certificate of Approval is required
to operate the exhaust fan in the lab.
3.5 Proposed Expansion
3.5. 1 Detox plans to add a 372 sq. m. (4000 sq. ft.) addition to the
existing building in the future as demand warrants. Storage
capacity would be expanded to about 460,000 L (100,000 gal-.) .
Detox has indicated their expanded operation would employ
approximately 25 to 30 employees and have an annual payroll
over $1.5 million. Detox would be required to apply to the
Ministry of the Environment to revise their Certificate of
Approval in order to expand their operation. The Town would
be provided the opportunity to submit comments to the Ministry
on any application by Detox to expand their operation.
4. OFFICIAL PLAN AND ZONING BY -LAW CONFORMITY
4.1 Town of Newcastle Official Plan
4.1.1 The Detox site is designated 'Industrial' by the Town of
Newcastle Official Plan'. The Plan defines General Industrial
uses as "industries, warehouses or industrial services whose
operations are of a manufacturing assembly, repair, storage
or wholesaling nature, substantially enclosed in buildings,
without offensive characteristics and compatible with the
REPORT NO.: PD- 196 -92 PAGE 6
amenity of other uses of the Urban Area." The proposed Detox
operation falls within the definition of a general industrial
use and therefore would be permitted by the Official Plan.
4.2 By law 84-63, the Town of Newcastle ComprehensiveZoning Bv-
law
4.2.1 The Detox site is zoned 'M1 -Light Industrial' by By -law 84-
63, the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By -law.
Permitted uses within this zone include "an assembly,
manufacturing, fabricating or processing plant within a wholly
enclosed building or structure ". The By -law defines such a
plant as one "in which the process of producing any product,
by hand or mechanical power and machinery, is carried on
systematically with division of labour ". The neutralization
of various acids and alkalis, and the processing of various
organic liquids and sludges into a fuel blend for resale by
Detox would be permitted in the 'M1' zone.
4.2.2 The 'M1' zone also permits "a warehouse for the storage of
goods and materials within a wholly enclosed building or
structure ". The By -law defines a warehouse as "a building or
part of a building used for the storage and distribution of
goods, wares, merchandise, substances, articles or things... ".
In this regard, the Detox storage operation would be similar
to any other industry and would fall within the definition of
a 'warehouse'.
4.3 Site Plan Agreement
4.3.1 In 1984, the Town entered into a site plan agreement with
Automotive Paint and Plastic, the previous owners of the Detox
site. Detox is planning to make some minor modifications to
the site - for example, replacing an existing grassed area on
the west side of the building with gravel, and constructing
a spill containment berm outside the loading dock. Amendments
to existing site plan is required to incorporate the above
changes. Detox will also be required to make application for
REPORT NO.: PD- 196 -92 PAGE 7
site plan approval if they wish to proceed with any future
building expansion.
5. NEED FOR A HEARING BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT BOARD
5.1 Detox has applied for a Provisional Certificate of Approval
under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) to
operate a waste disposal (processing) facility.. Part V sets
out the prohibitions and requirements related to the
management of waste. With an EPA application, the proponent
is required to describe the impact of the proposed undertaking
on the natural environment (ie. air, land and water). The
Ministry of the Environment, in its review of the application,
must be satisfied as to the potential impact on the natural
environment. Issues related to social, economic or cultural
impacts are not addressed in the review of an EPA application.
5.2 The Ministry.of the Environment has indicated that a hearing
by the Environmental Assessment Board would normally be
required in respect of the application by Detox for a Waste
Disposal Site (Processing), unless sufficient justification
for not holding a hearing can be provided. We are not aware
at this time whether Detox has submitted any justification to
the Ministry of Environment. Any hearing before the
Environmental Assessment Board would only review the technical
aspects of the proposed undertaking related to protection of
the natural environment.
5.3 The Fire Department has met with the owners of Detox, and have
advised the Planning Department that their concerns regarding
internal suppression systems, accessibility and after hour
personnel have been or will shortly be resolved by Detox. The
Department also noted that Detox would be monitored for both
security and fire, in the near future, which would provide
early warning should a problem arise.
REPORT NO.: PD- 196 -92 PAGE 8
5.4 Planning Department Staff note that the Wilmot Creek
residential community lies approximately 0.5 km to the
southeast of the subject site. As well, the proposed
Newcastle -on- the -Lake residential and resort development would
lie approximately 0.3 km to the south and southwest of the
Detox site. Residents of Wilmot Creek and some members of the
Port Darlington Community Association have expressed concerns
with regard to the siting of this facility. Adjacent
landowners have expressed concerns that this industry would
negatively affect the marketing of their lands. In order to
address the concerns of the residents, we understand
representatives from Detox have met with the residents
recently.
5.5 Any threat to the residents, perceived or otherwise, by
Detox's proposed operation is no different than many other
industrial uses which do not require either a Provisional
Certificate of Approval or a hearing by the Environmental
Assessment Board. For example, Automotive Paints and Plastics,
which previously occupied the Detox facility, was a paint and
solvent blending operation which did not require any hearing.
Waste at the Detox facility can only be stored up to a maximum
of ninety days at the site, which is the same requirement
applied to other industries which use or produce hazardous
waste as part of their operations.
5.6 It is also noted that Detox is a local company which provides
an essential service to many industries and emergency services
for spills and /or disposal of hazardous materials.
Approximately 75% of the waste to be processed by Detox will
be re -used by other industries. It is important that services
such as that provided by Detox are not to be discouraged if
recycling is to be promoted and to provide industries with the
opportunity to dispose of their wastes in an environmentally
responsible manner.
REPORT NO.: PD- 196 -92 PAGE 9
5.7 Ministry of the Environment Staff would be responsible for
on- going monitoring of the Detox operation. This monitoring
is intended to ensure that Detox complies with the conditions
of the Provincial Certificate of Approval, and to identify any
potential problems with the operation of the facility.
6. CONCLUSIONS
6.1 The uses proposed by Detox are permitted on the subject site
by both the Town of Newcastle Official Plan and the Town of
Newcastle Zoning By -law. Applications to amend these
documents are not required. However, Detox will be required
to submit an application to amend the existing Site Plan
Agreement on the subject site.
6.2 Based on the comments contained in this report, Staff has no
objection to the application by Detox for a Provincial
Certificate of Approval to operate a Waste Disposal Site
(Processing). However, based on the pertinent information
provided to the Town to date, Staff cannot demonstrate
justification for not holding a hearing by the Environmental
.Assessment Board. Further, Staff feel that any justification
for not holding a hearing should be provided by the applicant
and not by the Town.
6.3 The Town will not be involved with the hearing since there is
no official plan or zoning change involved. Furthermore, it
is noted that should such a hearing proceed, it will be based
on strictly defined technical considerations which are the
responsibility of the Ministry of the Environment.
