Board foots bill for fumes BY DAVID SCOTT Expositor Editor Thc Mid -Huron Landfill Site (MHLS) hoard has agreed to foot,the hill for a sewer trap which should pre- vent any future .leachate fumes from entering the Knights of Columbus build- ing in,Goderich. Concerns were raised at last month's landfill meeting when a report- given by Ken Hunter revealed that toxic -fumes were detected from - manholes in the Parsons Court area near the landfill's leachate transfer facility -and in the Knights of Columbus hall. The MHLS board was prc-: sented with an 'investigative report on the leachate odour ,from Jim Yardley of Conestoga -Rovers & Associates at its April 18 meeting. "Based .on data. CRA con- cludes that. the high odour level was caused by high strength/slightly acidic leachate from the landfill site as opposed to a condition within the facility or sanitary sewer system," stated the engineering report. "The leachate was slightly richer. It had a higher organic strength than most leachate the last two to three years." said Yardley. "But it is not as high as we've seen on the site. The engineering firm had a "building" trap (orP-trap) on few theories about why the thc sewer lin a to a building. leachate might he stronger - "This would ensure there was but concluded that. "as the exact cause of the high strength/acidic leachate could not be determined, the possi- bility exists for this condition to occur againin the future." always water in the line and would not allow odour to enter the building," said Yardley. Thc cost for each trap would he approximately. $2.500. Diagrams of the traps were The firm recommended test- , included with -the report. The ing thc pH level of each traps are inside a manhole structure and include a 'cleanout and vent. "You can easily access them if there's blockage in the future. One board member asked Yardley if sewer gas was explosive. "You have to worry about the methane content of the gas. It displaces oxygen: Leachate is higher strength than regular sewage. Methane becomes explosive leachate load. If the pH is found to be less than 6.5 (acidic), a neutralising agent (base) shouldhe added' to the • leachate either in the tanker prior to transportation to the facility•or added at the facili- ty, stated the report to the landfill board. -"All buildings connected. -to a municipal sanitary sewer must have traps installed as required by the plumbing code to act as an air seal on thc sewer and prevent the migration of sewer gas from entering the building." Yardley noted: that as long as these traps arc kept full of water sewer gases should be prevented from entering the building but it's "not uncom- mon for those to be dry." He said with thc main flow of sewage in the Parsons Court area from leachate at the facility. if a trap was left dry. the odour would move into buildings. especially if they were unused. Aside from adding a -neu- tralizing agent, Conestoga - Rovers recommended installing an additional LEARN TO FLY FOR HALF THE COST OF THE PRIVATE PILOT LICENCE ANNOUNCING Transport Canada's Approved Recreational Pilot Permit Ground School Starts May 1" at 7:00 p.m. STRATFORD AIR SERVICES RR 1, Strafford 271-4881 between five and 15 per cent.

The board agreed to cover the $2.500 cost to -install a trap on the line to the Knights of Columbus hall: with their permission. Leachate Unloading. Recommendations were also given by CRA to speed up the leachate unloading procedure at the facility from hauler Ross Pannabecker's tanker. - "The unloading time for the current tanker could effec- tively be cut in -half by installing a second unloading pipe connection at the facili- ty. The hauler could then connect the second tank com- partment to. the second unloading -pipe connection and unload both tanker coni- parttnents at the same time," recommended the report. A second recommendation for spill containment was to. extend the driveway approxi- mately 15 feet "to allow the tank truck to back up further so that the side connections are located over -the existing spill pad." The MHLS board passed a motion to go ahead with the recommended revisions at a cost of $6.000.
