Sylvis to manager biosolids

2010-03-23 Kelowna Daily Courier:
The regional district board has authorized a contract with Sylvis Environmental for development of a plan to manage biosolid waste materials from the Westside Regional Waste Water Treatment Plant. While its bid of $49,360 was the highest of three pre-qualified responses to a request for proposals, Sylvis received the highest overall evaluation score and is within the project budget.
Approximately 5,000 metric tonnes of biosolids are generated by the treatment plant each year. Through an agreement with the City of Kelowna and Ministry of Environment, biosolids are currently disposed of at the Glenmore Landfill. A management plan is required for disposal of these materials since the option of burying the materials in the Glenmore Landfill is expected to end later this year.
