1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS
1,1
On October 6, 2004, the Municipality Of Clarington Planning Department received a
request from the Ministry of Environment for comment on a Certificate of Approval
application submitted by Detox Environmental Limited to construct a second processing
building to be used for storage and processing of non-hazardous solid and liquid
wastes. The application is for a property located 322 Bennett Road in Bowmanville.
The property is also subject to a related site plan approval application (SPA 2004-030)
filed with the Municipality of Clarington to construct a 1,065 sq.m. single storey waste
processing building (See Attachment 1).
~'-i:!
."",
1.2 The current Ministry of Environment approval permits a waste storage capacity of 778
cubic metres on the property. Detox Environmental Limited has applied to increase
their total waste storage capacity to 1,198 cubic metres and introduce the ability to
process MOl type isocyanate at the site. The increased capacity is required because
Detox Environmental Limited has received several new large local waste processing
contracts.
1,3 MOl type isocyanates are generated from the production of hard and soft foams, from
such products as seating, carpet underpad, and automotive padding applications.
Although MOl type isocyanates are presently permitted on site, the chemical is stored,
bulked, and shipped out to other processing plants. Detox is requesting permission to
react the liquid waste MOl type isocyanates with waste water to produce a solid foam
which can then be shipped for landfill,
"".
1.4 The applicant has submitted a site plan approval application (SPA 2004-030) to
construct a 1,065 sq,m. single storey waste processing building. The new building will
only be used to process oil solids, latex paint materials and MOl type isocyanates. The
applicant has advised that the building will not be used to process hazardous,
flammable, heavy metal or acidic materials, The MOl type isocyanates will be unloaded
inside the new building, reducing the possibility of outside spills.
1.5 Transport trucks generally bring waste containers onto the site and deposit them for
processing within the building. Since the buildings act as the containment system,
wastes do not escape from the existing building, Although the storage of processed
and unprocessed wastes generally occurs within both the existing and proposed
buildings, their current Certificate of Approval allows for a 24 hour outdoor storage
period within their spill containment area if the plants are at capacity. This provision is
expected to remain in force,
2.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
2.1 Engineering Services Department including the Building Division reviewed the
application and has no objection to the proposal. Both advised that they require the
applicant enter into a site plan agreement for the development and obtain all necessary
permits to facilitate development.

2,2 The Emergency Services Department indicated that a new fire safety plan must be
approved for the proposed industrial waste processing building, The applicant has
prepared a new fire safety plan for the existing and proposed buildings, which updates
the document to include all existing and proposed chemical storage locations and
capacities, The proposed plan has been reviewed by the Emergency Services
Department. Although the Emergency Services Department cannot approve this plan
until the building has been fully constructed and inspected, they have no objections to
approval of this application.
3.0 PLANNING COMMENTS
3.1 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject property "Light Industrial Area". The
range of permitted uses includes manufacturing, assembling, processing, fabricating,
repairing, research and development, and warehousing. The processing and storage of
materials is permitted.
3.2 Within the Municipality's Zoning By-law, the subject property is zoned "Light Industrial
(M1) Zone". The zone permits a variety of uses, including an assembly, manufacturing
fabricating, or processing plant within a wholly enclosed building, as well as a
warehouse for the storage of goods and materials. The processing and storage of non-
hazardous solid and liquid wastes is a permitted use.
3.3 Staff are currently processing an application for site plan approval and building permit
for the proposed waste processing and storage building. Other issues relating to site
development will be addressed through conditions of site plan approval.
3.4 Staff have not received any concerns from adjacent property owners relating to the
Ministry of Environment application.
4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

circulated agencies, the policies of the Clarington Official Plan, the Zoning By-law
regulations, and the public. In consideration of the comments contained in this report,
