The city of Vernon will more closely monitor the operation of the regional bio-solids facility that it shares with Kelowna. Councillor Bob Spiers is calling for regular reports that detail how the facility is operating, and a system to ensure capacity problems never happen again."I don't think any member of this council ever wants to get back in the position we were in 12 months ago, being notified we were over capacity by 40 to 50 percent. "Residents near the facility on Commonage Road are concerned an expansion of the plant will create more odour problems.
Council passed a motion Monday to direct staff to work with the City of Kelowna to establish operational procedures for the facility to address operational failures or non-compliance, to ensure that protocols are in place to effectively manage those situations.The operation converts human waste into a marketable compost product.
