The Project is owned and operated by Verdant Energy Ltd. The opportunity for generating carbon offsets with this protocol arises mainly from indirect GHG emission reductions through the use of biomass to offset non- renewable electricity production and from direct GHG emission reductions due to the avoidance of methane emissions from destruction of waste in the landfill. Methane, a powerful GHG, is passively emitted from the storage of biomass where it undergoes anaerobic decomposition. The combustion of the methane component of the landfill gas results in emissions of biogenic carbon dioxide thus achieving a reduction in anthropogenic GHG emissions. In addition, the generation of electricity will offset other sources on the Alberta grid which in this case includes the combustion of fossil fuels. The facility produces 16.5 MW of electricity from landfill and forestry biomass, using a bubbling fluidized bed boiler and steam turbine. This electricity is transmitted to the Alberta electricity grid. Diversion of Biomass to Energy from Biomass Facilities Page 2 Dapp Power Electric Generation Facility October 2007 2.0 PROJECT AND PROPONENT IDENTIFICATION Corporate Contact Information: Verdant Energy Ltd. Suite 910, 1122 – 4th Street SW : Calgary, AB, Canada T2R 1M1 Contact: Grant Noll Phone: (403) 261 – 9940 Fax: (403) 269 – 9799 Email: [email protected] Direct emission reductions generated by the Project, or the emission reductions due to the avoidance of methane emissions from the landfill, are owned solely by Verdant Energy Inc., or its wholly owned subsidiaries Dapp Power LP and Bio Fuels Inc. Indirect emission reductions or the emission reductions due to the offset of fossil fuel use for electricity production corresponding to the electricity generated by the Dapp Generating Facility are also owned solely by Verdant Energy Inc., or its wholly owned subsidiaries. Diversion of Biomass to Energy from Biomass Facilities Page 3 Dapp Power Electric Generation Facility October 2007 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Project Scope The project consists of a wood recycling depot, located on the Northland Sand and Gravel Landfill in Edmonton, owned by Bio Fuels Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Verdant Energy, and Dapp Generating station near Westlock, AB, also wholly owned by Verdant Energy. The Dapp Generating station has all the components of a conventional steam power plant, including a Babcock and Wilcox circulating fluidized bed boiler, a Turbodyne steam turbine and a substation and grid tie-in. Biomass arrives at Dapp Generating Facility by two methods: 1. Direct transportation to the Dapp Generating Facility; 2. Transportation to the Bio Fuels Inc. wood recycling depot [Bio Fuels Inc.] where it is processed and then transported approximately 135 km to the Dapp Generating Facility. Biomass being transported directly to the Dapp Generating Facility is received at its wood receiving system. The wood waste is processed to proper size through a “hog” located at the plant site. From there, a wheel loader moves product either into open air storage or to the fuel reclaim system that carries it by conveyor to the power plant. Once in the power plant, the biomass is fed into a steam power boiler that generates steam to turn a steam turbine coupled to an electric generator. Steam exhaust from the steam turbine is cooled and returned to the boiler in a closed loop system. Biomass transported to Bio Fuels Inc. is diverted from landfill. This biomass includes material such as construction and demolition waste, shipping pallets and crates, manufacturing waste and tree trimmings, all of which is free of paint or preservatives. The biomass is processed through a high capacity 600 hp diesel powered wood grinder, before being separated from any nails or metals. Mobile equipment, such as a trackhoe to feed the grinder and wheel loader to load tractor trailer units with the finished product, are used to support the operation of the wood grinder. Following this, the biomass is shipped to Dapp Generating Station. Transportation to both facilities is accomplished by 5 Dapp power tractor / trailer units, and up to 8 contractor owned units. The majority of the biomass is transported directly to the Dapp Generating Facility. The remainder, that which is transported to Bio Fuels Inc., is the portion Diversion of Biomass to Energy from Biomass Facilities Page 4 Dapp Power Electric Generation Facility October 2007 of the biomass which has been diverted from landfill, and therefore from anaerobic decomposition. Each year, both of these biomass streams are combusted to produce 16.5 MW of electricity. 10 MW of this power is sold under a power purchase agreement, and the remaining 6.5 MW is sold to the wholesale spot market. As a result of landfill avoidance, as well as the avoidance fossil fuel combustion to generate electricity, carbon offsets are generated. These carbon offsets are generated in accordance with the Quantification Protocol for Diversion of Biomass to Energy from Biomass Combustion Facilities (AENV, 2007). 3.2 Project Site Description Dapp Generation Facility is located NW of the city of Westlock, AB. The legal description of the site is the SW ¼ of Section 1, Township 53, Range 2 west of the 5 th Meridian. A plot plan for this site is included as Figure 3.1. The Bio Fuels Inc. wood recycling depot is located on the Northland Sand and Gravel Landfill in Edmonton at 231 st St. and Hwy 16A in Parkland County (Edmonton). Clean wood biomass is received at this site and is processed before being shipped to the Dapp Generating Facility.

  • Cemetery Open House Information Sharing
    Agenda Item: 7.7 Request for Decision Regular Council - 26 Feb 2019 Subject: Cemetery Open House Information Sharing PREPARED BY: DEPARTMENT: Al Scott Agricultural Services Director of Infrastructure APPROVALS: Leo Ludwig, CAO Approved - 20 Feb 2019 Al Scott, Director of Infrastructure Approved - 20 Feb 2019 Background: Westlock County hosted an information gathering session for all local cemeteries on January 10, 2019. The intent of the meeting was for cemetery groups to share information with each other and provide feedback to the Westlock County Cemetery Committee to bring back to Council. 40 people attended the open house representing 18 different cemetery groups. Representatives for the 4 cemeteries owned by the County were in attendance. All members of the Cemetery committee along with Administration staff circulated through the groups of people to discuss cemetery operations, things that are working well, things that are challenges, and where the cemetery groups see themselves in the future. Feedback on the event itself was positive and there were requests to hold a similar event in successive years. The individuals that attended spoke passionately about their cemeteries and provided a wealth of information, history, and experience. Feedback information that was provided has been summarized and attached to this RFD for Council as a draft summary report. Also attached are a blank copy of the agenda, a blank copy of the information gathering sheets, and a summary of known cemeteries within the County. Now that there has been an open house and information from the public has been provided, it is worth the discussion regarding direction of the cemetery committee and what to do with the feedback provided.

  • Westlock North Task Force Report
    Westlock North Task Force Report STRESSED? Look at the following picture of two dolphins jumping out of the water in tandem. The research has shown that the more differences you notice in the two dolphins, the more stressed you are. This is attributed to the concentration and recognition influences intensifying when stressed. The two are VERY similar, so if you can tell the difference without looking hard, you should monitor your stress. Overview of the Presentation Summary of Task Force Report Questions and Comments Next Steps Task Force Report Task Force established by a May 9, 2012 Board of Trustees motion as a “next step” in the Westlock North community consultation process. 5737/05/12 - Moved by Trustee Watson that the Board establish a Task Force for the purpose of providing advice to the Board regarding a long range plan (3-5 year) for educating students in the communities served by Dapp, Jarvie and W.R. Frose Schools. Carried7-0 Decision Filters Will the recommendation maximize educational opportunities for our children? Will it be sustainable? Does it utilize our limited resources in the best possible way for our children? Is it realistic? Parent Engagement The establishment of such a Task Force is a unique circumstance in Alberta. Few, if any, Alberta school boards have gone to this length to engage parents and community members in planning for the future education of their children. Opportunity and Responsibility Task Force Composition The Westlock North Task Force was established in June 2012 and included the following members: Lisa Gehring/ Darcie Eamor, principal(s) of W.R.

  • Spring 2010 Alberta Plantwatch Newsletter (PDF)
    Alberta Plantwatch Annual Newsletter - Spring 2010 Greetings to Alberta Plantwatchers! This spring may unfold to be one of our most interesting yet due to the very unusual weather we experienced in 2009…read on! The Weather in 2009 Winter 2009- 2010 in Canada was 4 °C above normal, the warmest and driest since records began in 1948. According to Dave Phillips of Environment Canada, the main reasons were an El Nino, which caused warming of the Pacific Ocean, and shrinking Arctic ice. Precipitation was down 60% in parts of Alberta. Phillips said ‘This may be a dress rehearsal of what we’ll see as normal in years to come’. The El Nino is now strengthening again: see http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=43105&src=eoa-iotd , and http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_advisory/ensodisc.html. It seems likely that central and northern Alberta will have extreme drought this coming season. This could result in water shortages, insect infestations, and wildfires this summer. Out of the top ten weather stories in Canada in 2009, four of them featured our fair province. You probably recall the winter of 2008-2009 that never ended, the spring that never came, the rains that fell too late, and the heat wave that was September. Spring was one of the toughest on record for Alberta farmers, as they experienced persistent cold and frost combined with a strong drought. In Edmonton, the total precipitation in the year ending June 2009 was the lowest since records began in 1880. Just before the official start of summer, several districts in Alberta had declared a drought emergency or disaster.

  • 2000 I , Eileen Nagel, Am Truly Sorry If I Have Spelled Your Name Wrong, Or Placed You in the Wrong Town
    NAMES INCLUDED ON THIS CD. ******************************** WOMEN OF UNIFARM 1969 - 2000 I , Eileen Nagel, am truly sorry if I have spelled your name wrong, or placed you in the wrong town. Sometimes I found more than one spelling for your name; and often I knew the general location of your home, but had no way of verifying it , So I placed you in that “general” location. Example: Were you from Dapp, or Pibroch, or Westlock. Not knowing for sure, I would guess Pibroch. If I am really wrong in my guess, and you are really concerned, let me know, and I will correct it for “ the master copy “ before submitting it to the archives. I made countless phone calls, but often the answer was “ I “think” they were from………” So, I gave up phoning, and I guessed. Sometimes I didn’t have a clue, so I didn’t record any location. I am very concerned that surnames are spelled right. Contact me with any errors . That way I get a wrong corrected, and I get to talk with you.

  • Recreation Master Plan
    Agenda Item: 7.4 Request for Decision Regular Council - 11 Jun 2019 Subject: Recreation Master Plan PREPARED BY: DEPARTMENT: Leo Ludwig Administration CAO APPROVALS: Leo Ludwig, CAO Approved - 05 Jun 2019 Background: During the Budget discussions in April, the concept to generate a Recreation Master Plan was introduced and subsequently approved for inclusion in Budget 2019 on May 14, 2019. At the May 28 Council meeting, a request to update Council on the progress of the Recreation Master Plan was presented with a report to be presented at the June 11, 2019 Council meeting. As part of administration reviewing the process for a Recreation Master Plan, administration was informed by a staff member that a consultant was hired in 2011 to provide a Recreation Master Plan for Westlock County. A very comprehensive report was produced and presented to Council in 2012. Information we have is that the report was accepted by Council, but the subsequent Council elected in 2013 was not interested in pursuing the plan so it was shelved and virtually forgotten. Fortunately a staff member involved at the time in assisting with the process remembered that this work was done and had also remembered where copies were filed. Attached are copies of the work done at that time. While the work is somewhat dated and, due to it only being recently unearthed, administration has not had time to do a comprehensive review, we are recommending that Council consider a pause on initiating a new Recreation Master Plan Study. A pause would give staff and Council time to review the existing material and then be in a position to better determine if the material still holds value today, with perhaps some fine-tuning, or if a new full Master Plan process would be the better course of action.
