Highlights of the October 14 board meeting of the Regional District of the Central Okanagan:
Two-year Bio solids Management Plan - The Regional Board has authorized a short-term, two-year plan for managing biosolids produced at the Westside Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant with SYLVIS, a leading Canadian environmental consulting firm. The facility generates approximately 5,000 tonnes of biosolid material each year through the wastewater treatment process. The company proposes the beneficial application and use of the biosolids in a scientifically proven, Ministry of Environment regulated process for several identified sites in Crown land areas. SYLVIS will complete the Land Application Permit process, conduct biosolids application and prepare a long-term management plan at a cost of $78 per tonne, excluding transportation costs. This plan is required since the Regional District will not be allowed to dispose of its biosolid materials in the City of Kelowna Glenmore Landfill after November.
