1.0 Executive Summary
The Town of Churchill plans to create a waste oil collection centre within itsrecycling depot to handle incoming and currently stored waste oil in the area. The oil willthen be separated and recycled through burning in an approved waste oil furnace toheat a nearby shop. Such an initiative would save on transportation costs andpossibilities of spillage of sending the oil south on the train while reducing theenvironmental foot-print of the oil.
2.0 Introduction and Background.
Churchill has a large amount of waste oil stored in barrels near its recyclingdepot. There is also the on-going production of waste oil through oil changes in variousbusiness operations. Sending this oil to southern Manitoba by train is not seen as anenvironmental solution. Instead, burning this oil in an approved furnace to offset highcosts of heating fuel in our cold environment will meet our vision of an environmentallyconcerned area in a cost effective way.

3.0 Churchill Ecology
Churchill is located in northern Manitoba, near the estuary of the Churchill River in theHudson Plains Terrestrial Ecozone and more specifically, the Coastal Hudson BayLowland Ecoregion. The Ecoregion extends from a few kilometers north of Churchill toJames Bay in a band along the Hudson Bay Coast.
The Ecoregion is a low-lying, marshy coastal plain with extensive tidal fiats,developed on flat-lying Palaeozoic limestone bedrock. Post-glacial limits of marineinnundation are 120-1 80 m asl. North of the Nelson River beaches are less prominentthan in the eastern portion of the Ecoregion. The terrain is dominated by tens, polygonalpeat plateaus, and peat plateaus. Peat plateaus occur often in parrallel rows markingthe underlying beaches. In the fens, small incipient palsa bogs are common. Wetlandsare poorly drained. Permafrost with low to high ice content is widespread.
The Ecoregion is within the High Subarctic Ecoclimatic Region. The mean wintertemperature is -19 C with 400mm to 600mm mean annual precipitation. Snowfallaverages about 20 cm during each of the months of January through April. Blowing ordrifting snow and high windchill factors will inevitably preclude outdoor activities. Onaverage, one third of winter weather observations attribute reduced visibility to blowingsnow.
Vegetation is characterized by very open stands of stunted black spruce andtamarack with secondary quantities of white spruce; a shrub layer of dwarf birch, willowor ericacious shrubs; and ground cover of cotton grass or lichen and moss. Poorlydrained sites usually support tussock vegetation of sedge, cottongrass and sphagnummoss. Low shrub tundra vegetaion consisting of dwarf birch and willow is also common.
The presence of avian and mammallian life-forms is dependent upon theavailability of habitats and temperature. Species diversity and population numbers canvary annually.
At least 133 species of swimming birds, shorebirds, raptors, and scavengersfrequent offshore, inshore, intertidal, or salt marsh habitats of the Ecoregion.
3.0 Collection and Recycling Sites
The Churchill waste oil furnace will be owned and operated by the Town of Churchill,P.O. Box 459,180 LaVerendrye Aye,Churchill, Manitoba,Telephone: 204 675 8871Fax: 204 675 2934
3.1 SiteThe recycling furnace will be situated at 451 Kelsey BId, in a Town of Churchill
shop in the Town Maintenance yard on the south east side of town at the opposite endof town from the hospital and school.

Maps and plansAppendix A Map of townAppendix D: Map of Town Shop for Recycling
Zoning DesignationThe Town Maintenance Shop is in an area zoned industrial.
3.2 Infrastructure
Storage:The oil will be stored in a vented double wall 500 gaUon UCL — 5601 — 07 Waste Protanks which will be install on cement inside the building per Manitoba Fire Code.
Recycling
A Clean Burn Furnace will be used to recycle the waste oil creating heaE for (he townshop when ever it is needed. (hours of operation). It will take the place of a propanefurnace which is currently being used.
Appendix C
Receiving Area:The oil will be transferred inside the building from barrels in a truck into the oil tank usinga double diaphragm pump. The tank has a level gauge. Cement floors/pads will be inall areas. Oil will only be transferred during working hours 8:30 — 5:00.
Access:All of the equipment and products of the Waste Oil Collection and Recycling Centre willbe housed in lockable buildings.
3.3 Supervisor:
The supervisor of the Waste Oil Collection Center will be trained by a certified trainerfrom MARRC.
4.0 Environmental EffectsThis will be an environmental positive in Churchill. Oil which is currently being
stored in old barrels will be cleaned up, propane burning will be replaced by oil burningand the hazardous transport of waste oil will be minimized.
4.1 Description of human health effects ofproposed development
The human health effects should be minimal.
4.2 Mitigation measures to protect the environment
5
Transport, transfer and storage are areas of concern. Transport of waste oil willbe done by a Town of Churchill truck which will have a license to transport hazardouswastes. Transportation will be minimized by this project as only the glycol will beshipped to southern Manitoba instead of both waste oil and glycol.
Oil transfer will be done inside a building with a cement floor with a waste oil pansituated to contain spills. Sorb-All is on hand to clean spills. Used absorbent will be putin a used oil drum and shipped to GFI Collection Centre in Elm Flon or to the ThompsonCollection Centre when it is running again.
Storage will be in a vented double walled approved tank of 500 gallons.Recycling will use an approved Clean Burn furnace. This will replace an existing
method of heating (propane) which means that although CO and C02 will be emitted theeffect should be somewhat neutral allowing for the difference between propane andwaste oil.
This project will clean up the present storage site which is behind the recyclingfacility, and will reduce the risk of old drums rusting out and leaking waste oil into theenvironment.
5.0 Follow — up Plans — monitoring and reporting
The supervisor will be trained by MARRC in monitoring and report procedures.The Director of Facilities for the Town of Churchill will also be monitoring the facility andreporting to Manitoba Conservation on any spills. The site is inspected periodically byManitoba Conservation.
6.0 ConclusionChurchill is excited about the possibility of a waste oil collection/recycling center.
Getting rid of drums of waste oil will solve the possibility of leakage, and being able toburn it to produce heat instead of sending it down to southern Manitoba on the trainmakes environmental sense. There is ample space in the current recycling building forthe waste oil collection centre and the new furnace will provided needed heat.
All in all, a waste oil collection/recycling facility fits in well with Churchill’s desireto be an environmentally responsible community.
