Canada – British Columbia Agreement Establishing the Facilitation of the Disposal of Specified Risk Materials (SRM) Program
Canada – British Columbia Specified
Risk Material (SRM) Management
Program
1. Subprogram A
2. Subprogram B
3. Subprogram C
4. Subprogram D
5. Subprogram E
6. Subprogram F
Subprogram A: On-Site Slaughter Plant SRM Separation and Storage
• in existence prior to December 11, 2004• provisions for underserved areas (greater
than 200 km from existing plant)• funding benchmarked to 2004 volumes• deadline: June 15, 2007
Subprogram B: On-Site Slaughter Plant SRM Destruction or Containment
• in existence prior to July 12, 2007
• funding benchmarked to 2006 volumes
• deadline: June 29, 2007
Subprogram F: On-Site Slaughter Plant SRM Separation, Storage, Destruction or Containment
• primarily for new plants
• licensed by BCCDC by January 30, 2009
• deadline: January 30, 2009
Subprograms A and B Funding
• 100% of first $100,000
• 75% of next $200,000
• 50% of final $200,000
• Maximum funding: $350,000 (used alone or in combination for Subprograms A and B)
Subprogram F Funding
1. Existing plants funded under A or B : 75% for first $300,000 of further eligible costs not funded under A or B Maximum funding: $350,000 (used alone or in
combination for Subprograms A, B and F)
2. Existing plants not funded under A or B and new plants in underserved areas: 75% of first $300,000 to maximum of $225,000
3. New plants not in underserved areas: 50% of first $200,000 to a maximum of $100,000
Subprogram C: Community/Regional SRM Destruction or Containment
• for development of infrastructure for regional solutions throughout province
• funding to be determined on case by case basis
Subprogram D: Bovine Dead Stock SRM Storage, Destruction or Containment
• intended for existing dead stock collectors (Carson’s Stock Farm, Dargatz Mink Ranch, Greenwave Farms)
• funding to be determined on case by case basis• closely linked to Subprogram C
1. Metro Vancouver/Fraser Valley
2. Vancouver Island
3. Thompson-Nicola/Columbia-Shuswap/North Okanagan
4. Kootenay Boundary/Central Kootenay
5. Central Okanagan/Okanagan-Similkameen
6. Fraser/Fort George
Subprogram E: Environmental Assessments Required for Projects
• EA review required by CEAA funding trigger
• funding: 100% to maximum of $30,000
CEAA Consistency
Environmental Assessment Survey
• Inclusion List Questions
• Exclusion List Questions
• Small-Scale Infrastructure Applicability
Subprogram C and D Overarching Objectives
• existing SRM generators with economically feasible solution for SRM and non-SRM
• solution addresses SRM generated from:- slaughter establishments- cut and wrap facilities- dead stock collectors- farmers and ranchers
Subprogram C and D Overarching Objectives and Guiding Principles
• costs for implementation are as low as possible• solutions are economically and environmentally
sustainable in the medium to long term (10 years)
• capacity to handle major mass carcass disposal events
• available to new entrants to enable industry expansion
Subprogram C and D Overarching Objectives and Guiding Principles
• compliance with CFIA and MOE acts, regulations and guidelines
• projects to be based on sound science and technologies to be at commercial implementation stage
Subprogram C and D Overarching Objectives and Guiding Principles
• projects to result in net positive benefit to existing businesses affected by rising disposal costs
• demonstration of support by majority of affected SRM generators
• projects must result in acceptable methods of SRM disposal, whether by destruction or containment
Subprogram C and D Overarching Objectives and Guiding Principles
• province-wide solutions better than regional better than individual/piecemeal
• most comprehensive in dealing with both SRM and non-SRM
Subprogram C and D Overarching Objectives and Guiding Principles
• ability to deliver end results in most cost-
effective manner• resulting in province, public or SRM generators
having some measure of control over facility operations
• best prospects for industry expansion• highest support from industry and local
government
Subprogram A and B Summaries
• 19 ‘A’ applications• 5 ‘B’ applications• 17 of 24 approved by MAL SRM Program
Adjudication Committee• 11 of 24 Agreements accepted and signed• $1,405,277 committed
BC Ruminant Waste Transfer Station
•West Coast Reduction Ltd.
•East Abbotsford
•Contract Term: 3 years
•Expiration: February 2008
•Throughput: 1550 tons/month
•Source: Fraser Valley wastes
•Destination: Calgary plant
Disposal Options
• Landfilling
• Rendering
• Composting
• Incineration/Gasification
Community Solution Challenges
• identifying and choosing appropriate regional solutions and technologies
• weighing on-site solutions vis-à-vis community solutions• support from local governments and industry• meeting time lines• incorporating other waste streams (mass mortality, solid
manure, municipal wastes)• limited funding
