Town of Kinistino - Landfill Decommission

in progress

Under Construction

The project objective is to decommission and reclaim the landfill of The Town of Kinistino, non-compliant with the best management practices for landfill construction. The Landfill cells have a surface area of 2.5 hectares and was permitted to only receive municipal waste during its operation. The Landfill is currently closed and ready for decommissioning. The scope of the project includes having the Environmental Site Assessment Level II and the Corrective Action Plan completed, completing and implementing a Decommissioning and Reclamation plan that is acceptable to the Ministry of Environment’s Landfill Section. Decommissioning and Reclamation activities include the design and construction of the final engineered cover, storm water management, if required the installation of monitoring wells, and reclamation activities to ensure it is in conformance with the surrounding lands and the future intended use. The Landfill site will be converted to a station where bins will be used. We will continue to have an area for clean wood piles. Reclaimed landfill will be owned by The Town of Kinistino with the intended use of native pastureland. Decommissioning and reclamation of the proposed landfill will attenuate the generation of leachate which in turn increases capacity to reduce soil pollutants in line with the Environmental Quality Outcomes of the Green Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program.
