The RDNO owns three operational and
three closed RDFs in the region and is the co-permittee/leasee
of one RDF. All seven RDFs require an Operational Certificate
or Permit from the Ministry of Water, Air, and Land Protection,
and the four landfill sites require Operating and Closure
Plans (O&C Plans) approved by the same Ministry. O&C
Plans have been approved for the Armstrong/Spallumcheen
RDF and the Lumby RDF, and Closure Plans have been approved
for the Ashton Creek and Pottery Road facilities.
Tipping fees charged at each site pay for
the entire operations and capital budget for the program
(user pay system).
A total of about 41,400 tonnes of municipal
solid waste are disposed at the six RDFs each year and it
is expected that this quantity will remain fairly static
even as the population grows and recycling increases in
the Region (0.50t/capita/yr).
Transfer Stations
The RDNO currently owns two municipal solid waste transfer
stations at Silver Star Mountain and Kingfisher at Mabel
Lake.
The Silver Star site is open 7 days
per week, 24 hours per day and accepts only soft garbage
(no construction waste or large items) and recyclable
material (only cardboard, paper, tin cans, glass jars,
and aluminum). The RDNO contracts a hauler to transfer
the refuse and the recyclable material to local facilities.
The Kingfisher facility is open as listed
below and accepts all household refuse except that which
is prohobitied at all RDNO RDFs (special, liquid and hazardous
waste).
