SUMMARY:Public Information Centre: Organics Management Feasibility Study
DESCRIPTION:The County of Prince Edward will present the preliminary results of the organics management feasibility study at a public information centre (PIC) on Wednesday\, October 30. \nThe PIC will be held at the Sophiasburgh Town Hall (2771 County Road 5\, Demorestville) between 5:30 pm and 7 pm. \n The preliminary results of the study have identified the rear portion of the Sophiasburgh Works garage property as the preferred location for the potential facility. The study also recommends aerated covered static pile composting for the facility\, a system used to biodegrade the organic material without physical manipulation. Advantages of this system include its efficiency and ability to mitigate odours near the site. \n At the PIC\, staff will provide information on potential site layouts\, the proposed technology\, and the mitigation of potential impacts. Attendees will have a chance to ask questions about the process and provide feedback. \nThe study team will gather the public input before finalizing the report and presenting the outcomes to Council at a future meeting. At that time\, Council would decide whether to move forward with constructing the facility. \nStudy Background \nIn 2022\, Council directed staff to prepare a study to evaluate the feasibility of a municipal organics management facility. The municipality is exploring this option in order to decrease reliance on external management sites and reduce the fixed costs associated with disposing of organics. These costs will increase in coming years due to growth and inflation. \nOver the past several months\, the municipality and its consultant\, GHD\, have evaluated options for managing organic waste on a municipally operated site. The municipality held three PICs in March 2024 to share with the public the municipal properties being considered for an organics management facility. \nIf you have questions regarding this study\, contact Albert Paschkowiak\, Environmental Services and Sustainability Supervisor\, at 613.476.2148 extension 4004 or email apaschkowiak@pecounty.on.ca.
