,ated soptage/biosolids. The annual net revenue from tipping fees and electricalpower sales
inus operating fees is expected to be $339,400. However, in the first few years tlie revenue may
I somewhat less due to less septage. The operating shortfalls willbe made up from the expected
It revenue from selling electricity and tippng fees for septage and biosolds. Ths revenue will be
ilized for any shortfall on capital to complete this facility and put together a reserve fund to ensure
at adequate improvements are made over the years for this project to last 20 to 30 years. Payback

willbe produced from a gren source (i.e. biogas).

f_Qeptage Management Plan for the Member Municipalities of Grey County was prepared in March
2004. However, as an overall pJoiect for the County of Grey, this did not go fonrard nd thus the

raerobic treatment of septage to produce electricity has not been carried out in the Province of
Itario then this is an innovative project and requires Federal/Provincial funding to enable the
oject to proceed.
tis.project will be an example for other municipalities in Ontario. Without the funding the

What altornatlves to lhe proDosed solullon have been consldered?

Describe the alternatives considered.

Ihree (3) reasonable alternalives were considered for treatment of septage:
Alternative 1 - Upgrade an existing sewago treatment plant to treat septage.
Alternative 2 - Dewater the septage and treat the effluent at a sewage treatment plant and compost
lhe solids in a coposting facility.
{lternative 3 - Anaerobic treatment of septage/corn stover to produce biogas, electricity and treated

iosolids.

l.

Does thls prolect contrbuto to a sustalnable envlronment?

lndicate how the roiect will contribute to a sustainable environment.

fhis project contributes to a sustainable environment by producing biogas from septage and burning
lhe biogas to produce electricity. This slgnificantly reduces the tonnes of carbon (CO2) released to
lhe natural environment from septage. This project also treats septage into a biosolid that is more
uitable to be olaced on aoricultural land.

i.

Descrle any lnnovallvo technoloqv thal wlll be emoloved durlno the reallzatlon ol the orolec't.

Provide details on the technology to be incorporated in to the proposed projeot. Focus on new
approaches, best practices and whether the project uses the best available technologies (that are
economically feasible) or innovation to address the problem.
The following technologies are incorporated into this proposed projec.t.
1. Anaerobic digestion of organic matter from septage, sludge and waste products from agriculture
(such as corn stover).
2. Burning of biogas in a gas generator to produce electrlcity.
3. Removlng the odours and inactivalion of 99.5olo of the palhogens by treating the septage.
Ihe anaerobic treatment of septage to produce electricity is a new and innovative approach which
las not been carried out in Ontario. This project will bE a good example for other municipalities in
Cntario and Canada for treatment of septage and producing electrlcity. This general technology has
een used in Europe for approxlmately 3000 to 4000 facilities to treat animalmanure and corn silage
o produce electricitv.

l.

What aro thc slgnlllcant prolect rlsk and what ls vou stratoov to mltlqate those rlskg?

Risks are uncertainties or constraints that may prevent the project from completing on time, on
budget, or in its original scope. Few projects are completely without risk, however, most successful
oroiects manage or mitigate their risks through good planning and on going management. lndlcate
any known risks (such as shott construction season, possible uncertainties in building site that might
influence cost, etc) and specify how those uncertainties may impac:t the performance of the project,
gither in duration, cost, or meeting the requirements. Then indicate what actions ara possible in
advance or durino the proiect to reduce the efect of the risk hitioatioil.
We do not envision any significant project risks regarding this project Some minor risks which we will
develop strategies to mitigate are as follows:
1. Continuing Approval for a Standard Offer Contract with the Ontario Power Authority - Since we
are in the orange zone Hydro One will still accept projects up to 250 kW from biodlgesters that utilize
uploTo/o or more of agriculturalwaste products We have already shown how this project is viable
using over 75o/o agricultural waste material Alternatively, more septage and biosolids could be
treated when adequate electricalpower transmission lines are construcled and this area is removed
from the orange zone.
2. Approximately 3,000 to 4,000 of these types of projects have been completed in Europe utilizing
manure and agricultural products Since this has been utilized throughout Europe the risk should be
minimaland can be mitigated by good management of the waste going into the biodigester and
proper operation of the biodigester
3. Construction of the biodigesters are similar to facilities that have been constructed at wastewater
ireatment plants for 50 to 80 years in Ontario Therefore, construction of the concrete biodigesters as
r significant part of lhis project should be carried out reasonably with experienced contractors.
