The Regional District is requesting permission to appear as a delegation to a Town of Osoyoos Council meeting to present on this amendment process. The main purpose of the amendment is to choose a site for a Regional Compost facility at one of two potential locations. One potential site is located within the Penticton Indian Band Reserve near Highway 3A and the other location is beside the District of Summerland Landfill. These sites were determined to be the preferred sites for a Regional composting operation for residential and commercial food scraps, wastewater treatment sludge, yard waste and wood waste. Public consultation will be focused on the following potential projects: • Siting of a Regional Compost site within the Locatee area at 2760 Marron Valley Road; • Siting of a Regional Compost site adjacent to the Summerland Landfill; • Development of a turned windrow operation at the Summerland Landfill for just residentiallY collected food waste from the Summerland area; • Development of a turned windrow operation at the Oliver Landfill for just residentially collected food waste from Oliver, Osoyoos and Electoral Areas 'A' and 'C; • Supply and use of carts for the residential collection of waste and compostables in Municipalities outside Penticton and RDOS Electoral Areas; • Use of a biocover at the Campbell Mountain Landfill for the mitigation of landfill gas; • Any concerns raised by the public related to current Solid Waste services. The Regional District has currently scheduled an Open House on April 26th at the Osoyoos Sonora Centre from 6:30 pm to 8:45 pm. A presentation is planned that will focus on compost sites and potential carts for residences at 7 pm. If you have any questions or wish to set a delegation date, please contact Cameron Baughen, RDOS Solid Waste Management Coordinator, at 250-490-4203 or cbaughen(5)rdos.bc.ca.

The weekly curbside collection service became available to 1,830 Grand Forks’ households in October 2012. The organic materials are processed in open windrows at the Grand Forks Landfill. The RDKB put out a Request for Proposals (RFP) identifying three goals: increased diversion, GHG reductions, and an acceptable cost to the taxpayer. All three goals have been successfully achieved with the implementation of the food scraps collection program. Prior to implementing the green bin program, Grand Forks collected an average of 264 kg of garbage per household per year. After implementation of the program, garbage collected at the curb decreased to 119 kg per household per year. This equates to a 55% reduction in waste sent to disposal. With the collection of 123 kg of food waste per household annually, the overall diversion rate increased from 18% with recycling to 62% with recycling and food waste collection. Grand Forks City Council supported the program from beginning and now hopes to expand it to the commercial and multi-family sectors. 1 Page 5 of 27 Organics Case Study 5: Waste Recycling – Single-family Collection Program, Kitchen Scraps Only Program Details Collection Weekly food scraps collection is by a semi-automatic, split-body vehicle, which collects garbage and recycling at the same time on alternating weeks. All food scraps are accepted (as well as diapers, dog waste and kitty litter). No polymer plastics are allowed – only kraft paper liners. Processing For years the municipality of Grand Forks has composted all yard and garden waste collected in the community at the Regional landfill, now they also include green bin material in the mix. The aerobic composting procedure is considered ‘low-tech’, with turning done by a Front-End Loader in 10’ high windrows. Finished material is used as final cover at the landfill and the composting operation is considered part of RDKB landfill operations. Promotion / Education The RDKB have developed a great Facebook site to engage residents as well as a brand: “kNOw Waste”. All residents are provided with information explaining what can be placed in the green bins as well as tips to avoid wildlife issues.
