3. REPORT OF THE CHAIR
Since the number of delegations present to address a single item was more than six, Chair Bryson limited the delegation speeches to three minutes each.
4. PRESENTATIONS/DELEGATIONS
- Allan Crow, re agenda item 8.1: rose to speak against the motion and began to play a video as his speech.
During the presentation it became apparent that the video had been tampered with. The Chair asked that Mr. Crow return at the end of the delegation list to play an original version of the video.
Gerald Graham, re agenda item 8.1: spoke against the motion. He spoke to his concerns about meeting the regulatory deadlines, contamination of the ocean, the protection of the orca as a species at risk, and a precautionary approach of treating sewage now instead of in 2030 or 2040. The delegation provided a written submission filed at Legislative Services.
John Newcomb, re agenda item 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion. He felt the high-risk rating given to the current system was erroneous, a sludge plant would have high risks and hazards, the timelines were unrealistic, the decision not to consider land from the Agricultural Land Reserve was a mistake, and that pressure from the funding arrangements was part of the problem. He expressed that the current marine-based treatment or a distributed system was more supportable. The delegation provided a written submission filed at Legislative Services.
Ray Zimmermann, Sea to Sea Greenbelt Society, re agenda item 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion. He felt a review was necessary in order to justify spending with a cost-benefit and environmental-health analysis. He felt due diligence had not been done, and that the Capital Regional District (CRD) gave misleading information in comparing costs with technology demonstrated by the Dockside Green development.
James Skwarok, Victoria Sewage Treatment Alliance, re agenda item 8.1: spoke against the motion. He expressed that the CRD had been ordered to treat sewage, there have been seven years of planning and public consultation, the plan was peer reviewed in 2009, and environmental studies mandated by senior government met with approval. He felt the motion did not provide alternatives, the plan meets the requirements, the treatment will have environmental benefits and is carbon negative and the federal and provincial regulations would not allow for delays.
Michelle Coburn, Greater Victoria Water Watch Coalition, re agenda item 8.1: spoke against the motion. She felt there were no easy solutions but the problems must be faced. She spoke of seven years of open houses and documents and a Greater Victoria Water Watch Coalition petition with over 3,000 signatures in support of sewage treatment. She expressed that sewage treatment is done in other communities, concerns for toxins on land must also be worried about for oceans, and a delay would be detrimental.
A registered speaker listed on the supplementary agenda withdrew from the list prior to the meeting.
Diane White, re agenda item 8.1: acknowledged the First Nations of the area, and spoke against the motion. She felt the wastewater treatment project would benefit the community and shoreline, and expressed that as a resident of Esquimalt, she had no problem with the treatment plan. She expressed concern for the shoreline and the reputation of the city as a polluter of the ocean. She thanked the Core Area Liquid Waste Management Committee (CALWMC) for seven years of studies and a viable treatment plan with funding from senior government.
Bryan Gilbert, re agenda item 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion. He expressed that he did not oppose land-based treatment. He expressed concern over transparency of the decision process, the accuracy or full disclosure of cost figures, and misrepresentations of potential treatment plant designs. He felt the potential risk of delays in the project by virtue of the motion were no greater than risks due to the re-zoning process. He expressed concern that the Technical and Community Advisory Committee has not been maintained.
Norma Brown, re agenda item 6.3 and 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion. She spoke to her concerns that the project is off course with the potential to do damage. She felt deadline pressure and fear of losing funding was driving the project, the CALWMC had made decisions without adequate community input, the project would do harm to tourism and livability, that odour control was doubtful, the process had not been open, the entrance to the harbour had potential that would be wasted by the presence of a treatment plant and the land there was too small to accommodate the wastewater treatment plant. The delegation made a written submission filed at Legislative Services.
Trevor Davies, Canadian Union of Public Employees, BC Division, re agenda item 6.3 and 8.1: spoke of concerns over transparency and accountability of the project and a lack of details on the federal and provincial funding and public control over the wastewater service. He expressed that the motion had the potential to significantly alter the project and that the CRD had an opportunity with the motion or with ongoing negotiations to ensure the integral service of wastewater treatment remained a public service. He was concerned that the CRD would be lobbied to put wastewater treatment in the hands of private ownership. He expressed that public ownership and accountability was of benefit to the community.
Richard Atwell, re agenda item 6.3 and 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion. He used a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate his points and those of the six speakers (delegations 11 to 18) following him. He spoke to concerns about the plan not meeting Ministry objectives, siting, pipes and pumping, lack of innovation and project specifications by CRD staff. The presentation slides were filed at Legislative Services.
Irwin Henderson, re agenda item 6.3 and 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion. In the continuation of the slide presentation, he expressed concern over small gains for large pains in relation to finances and the environment.
Janet Riddell, re agenda item 6.3 and 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion. In the continuation of the slide presentation, she expressed support for sewage treatment but felt such a large investment could achieve better results. She felt there were misconceptions about the costs of tertiary treatment as exemplified by Dockside Green. The delegation made a written submission filed at Legislative Services, related to the presentation slides.
Diane Carr, re agenda item 6.3 and 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion. In the continuation of the slide presentation, she expressed support for sewage treatment but not of the current plan and expressed concern over the timeline for rollout and presented the acronym RITE (Respectful of communities, Innovative, Taxpayer friendly, Environmentally sound), which she felt if the treatment project followed would earn public approval.
John Farquharson, re agenda item 6.3 and 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion. In the continuation of the slide presentation, he expressed support for tertiary treatment. He expressed concern over cost comparisons to the system used at Dockside Green that he felt were erroneous.
Jack Meredith, re agenda item 6.3 and 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion. In the continuation of the slide presentation, he expressed concern over the risks of pumping slurry or sludge to Hartland and other, known project risks. He felt proceeding with the current project would be risky and needed a thorough review.
Director Isitt entered the meeting at 2:31 p.m. and Alternate Director Gudgeon retired from the meeting.
Beth Burton-Krahn, re agenda item 6.3 and 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion. In the continuation of the slide presentation, she expressed that a review could result in a sewage success story for greater Victoria.
Nicholas Harrington, re agenda item 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion. He felt the proposal to pump sludge to Hartland would be capital and energy intensive, and a review would outweigh costs and go a long way to garner public support.
Eleanor Calder, re agenda item 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion. She illustrated her points with photos of cruise ships visiting the area and the scenery along their route. She felt the motion captured her concerns about the project and a review would be a chance for a second look, the staff report was one-sided, citizens provided a different side, and both sides were needed to make a wise decision.
Stephen Lamb, re agenda item 8.1: expressed his belief in public consultation and spoke to his concerns over the compensation for the newly-appointed director of the Core Area Wastewater Treatment Program and the situation into which he felt the CRD had gotten itself over sewage treatment. He quoted the notice of motion resolution to initiate a review to insure an approach of environmental and economic sustainability and questioned whether the approach should not already exist within the program. He expressed that facts needed to be dealt with.
John Fuller, re agenda item 8.1: spoke in favour of the motion and expressed concern over privatization, scientific evidence, and potential effects of the proposed pipeline on the harbour. He spoke of being asked to remind the Committee of the potential for an extended deadline and expressed his hope that the project would cease.
The Committee received procedural assurance on the rule for a Director entering and taking the place of an Alternate Director while a Board meeting was in progress.
- Allan Crow, re agenda item 8.1: returned as a speaker and played a video as his speech. The video was taken underwater during a dive by Mr. Crow in an area 5 km from the McCaulay Point outfall and a depth of about 50 feet. In the video, he spoke in a voice-over narration of low visibility due to particulates in the water, an accumulation of silt on the rocks and plants, and a decline in the abundance of sea life. In contrast, the final images of the video showed a silt-free area in Beecher Bay. He expressed that there is a price to pay in using the ocean as a receiving environment for wastewater and the CRD should not delay the treatment program. The delegation also provided a written submission filed at Legislative Services, along with the video.
Items 6.3 and 8.1 were considered before item 5.
6.3 Notice of Motion - Core Area Liquid Waste Sewage Treatment Project
J. Hull spoke to the report. In summary, due diligence has been followed, there have been numerous studies and technical reports since the beginning of the program, a peer review and environmental assessments have been done, and approval came from the Province in 2010 for the wastewater treatment plan.
J. Hull used a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate the main points such as the background of the program, current plan, benefits of a regional system, climate change mitigation and resource recovery, and the efficacy of secondary treatment. Points reviewed included that the plan addresses regulatory requirements, has a negative carbon footprint, balances environmental benefit with affordability, meets the treatment needs of the existing urban population, has capacity for growth, does not preclude opportunities for future Dockside Green-type developments and anticipates the need for future capacity in growth areas.
On the motion, discussion included the following points:
- In comparing with Dockside Green, the Core Area Wastewater Treatment project cost calculations include capital and operating costs, loan amortization over 25 years, and operation of the plant over 50 years
- ownership of both the treatment plant and the Biosolids Energy Centre (BCE) remains with the CRD. CRD employees will operate the wastewater treatment plant and the option exists to be the operators after the initial 25-year concession to the design/build/finance bidder for the BCE
- the type of review called for in the notice of motion compared to the information in the staff report
- environmental impact assessments were carried out for each component of the project, as required by the government
- volume and flow and the formula for cost estimates to municipalities based on flow
- status of rezoning process for the McLoughlin site
- addendum to RFP with final design requirements with input from site municipality
MOVED by Director Blackwell, SECONDED by Alternate Director Szpak, That the staff report be received for information. CARRIED
8. MOTIONS FOR WHICH NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN
8.1 Core Area Liquid Waste Sewage Treatment Project - Director Derman
On the motion, Director Derman spoke of his concerns about the Core Area Liquid Waste sewage treatment project, including the following points:
- The requirements of the Ministry and whether the project fulfills the objectives
- Regulatory standards and standards for tertiary systems and clarity of water
- Heat from sewage and reuse of water
- Controversy over biosolids use
- Decentralized and distributed systems and GHG emission reduction
- Investigation into other approaches that might give better results
- Opportune time for a review
The Board discussion included the following points:
- Policy decisions and land acquisitions
- Result of design/build/finance unknown at this early stage of RFP
- Other toxins in the effluent and where they end up
- Letter from the ministry in 2010 approving Amendment 8
- Representative technology to satisfy the business case; flexibility built into the plan; innovation captured in wording throughout the RFP
- Feasibility studies conducted on methods for the reuse of reclaimed water
- Heat recovery
- Regulatory bodies and the issue of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products
- Helping the ecosystem and bringing local sewage treatment up to national standard
- Meaning of the term independent review
- Similar results from different methods, distinguishing feature is cost
- Proven technology and innovation
- Opportunities for other Dockside Green-type developments
- Cost of green buildings and limits to the premium people will pay
- The value of the Agricultural Land Reserve and inappropriateness of expropriation
- Funding from governments to end releasing sewage into the ocean; balance between environment and economics
- Public confidence
- Chance for incremental opportunities to be addressed in the future
- Small size of Colwood and financial impact of project on its homeowners
- The series of motions considered by the CALWMC and the Board
MOVED by Director Derman, SECONDED by Director Hill, Whereas the currently proposed Core Area Liquid Waste sewage treatment project may provide only limited environmental gains and, in particular, appears to be a considerably less than optimal response to climate change mitigation challenges that are rapidly becoming the imperative of our time:
Whereas the City of Colwood and the Township of Esquimalt have brought forward approaches to the sewage project that hold the promise of greater environmental benefits and a better financial outcome, and given that other such opportunities likely exist within the core area:
Whereas the CRD approach to these initiatives, and potentially others, has appeared to be inconsistent with a spirit of cooperation, a major CRD goal, and has, instead, likely fostered division:
Whereas in general, but especially in recent times, the conduct of the core area sewage treatment project has likely served to lessen public confidence in the capability and viability of regional government:
Be it resolved that the Capital Regional District Board request the Core Area Liquid Waste Committee to:
- Initiate an extensive, independent review of the current project with the intention of insuring that the approach taken to sewage treatment: a. Optimally responds to global and local environmental issues particularly those involved in climate change. b. Within environmental imperatives, accomplishes the best possible financial outcome and contributes to a sustainable financial environment for regional, provincial and federal taxpayers. c. Is characterized by an approach that fosters a spirit of cooperation between regional government and member municipalities. d. Serves to restore citizens' confidence in the capability and viability of regional government.
- Initiate, in parallel, a new Request for Expressions of Interest that would allow any group to bring forward progressive approaches such as those suggested by the Township of Esquimalt.
Be it further resolved that the Capital Regional District Board commit to working with the Core Area Liquid Waste Committee to approach provincial and federal officials both at the staff and political level in order to insure that time for such a review and expression of interest process is available without putting provincial and federal financial contributions in jeopardy. DEFEATED Directors Blackwell, Brice, Brownoff, Fortin, Isitt, Leonard, Wergeland and Young and Alternate Directors Madoff and Szpak OPPOSED
The Board recessed at 4:39 p.m. and re-convened at 4:47 p.m. with all members present save Directors Isitt and Jensen.
