NOTICE REQUIRING THE PREPARATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF POLLUTION PREVENTION PLANS IN RESPECT OF AMMONIA DISSOLVED IN WATER, INORGANIC CHLORAMINES, AND CHLORINATED WASTEWATER EFFLUENTS
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the provisions of Part 4 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the Minister of the Environment requires the persons or class of persons described in section 2 of this notice to prepare and implement a pollution prevention plan in respect of one or more of the following:
— ammonia dissolved in water (hereinafter referred to as ammonia);
— inorganic chloramines which have the molecular formula NHnCl(3-n) where n = 0, 1, or 2 (hereinafter referred to as inorganic chloramines); and
— chlorinated wastewater effluents,
which are specified on the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.
"ammonia nitrogen" or (NH3-N) means the nitrogen component of total ammonia. Total ammonia is the sum of the un-ionized (NH3) and ionized (NH4+) species which exist in equilibrium in water. Analytical methods measure and typically report on ammonia nitrogen as opposed to total ammonia. An ammonia nitrogen concentration of 16 mg/L is equivalent to a total ammonia concentration of 20 mg/L.
"effluent" means untreated, partially treated or treated wastewater that is released to surface water from a wastewater collection system or wastewater treatment system.
"fresh water" means water with a total dissolved solids content less than 1 000 mg/L.
"person" means any person that owns a wastewater collection system or wastewater treatment system.
"surface water" means a lake, pond, marsh, spring, stream, river, estuary or marine body of water, or other surface watercourse.
"total residual chlorine" or TRC means the concentration of free chlorine and combined chlorine (including inorganic chloramines) and it is essentially synonymous with reactive chlorine.
"wastewater" means a combination of liquid or waterborne sewage, industrial wastes, commercial wastes or institutional wastes.
"wastewater collection system" or "wastewater treatment system" means any works for the collection, transmission, treatment and release of wastewater or any part of such works.
This notice applies to any person who, on the date of publication of the Final Notice, owns a wastewater collection system or wastewater treatment system where the annual average effluent release during 2004 from that system to surface water is greater than or equal to 5 000 m3 per day and where any of the following three conditions are met:
(1) the concentration of total residual chlorine (TRC) in the release exceeded 0.02 mg/L at any time during 2004.
(a) the concentration of ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) in the effluent exceeded 16 mg/L at any time during the period of June 1, 2004, to September 30, 2004; and
(b) the depth of water over the effluent release point, at any time during the period of June 1, 2004, to September 30, 2004, is less than 15 times the diameter of the discharge pipe or the diameter of a diffuser port in the discharge pipe.
(a) the effluent release is to fresh water; and
(b) the concentration of ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) in the effluent exceeded 16 mg/L at any time during the period of June 1, 2004, to September 30, 2004; and
(c) the pH of the surface water upstream of the effluent release point exceeded 7.5 at any time during the period of June 1, 2004, to September 30, 2004.
When the persons identified in section 2 prepare and implement their pollution prevention plans in relation to ammonia, inorganic chloramines and chlorinated wastewater effluents, the Minister requires that the scope of the plan include the following activities:
for persons who meet the conditions in subsection 2(1)
(1) disinfection of wastewater using chlorine or chlorine compounds and release of effluent to surface water.
for persons who meet the conditions in subsection 2(2) or 2(3)
(2) collection and/or treatment of wastewater and the release of effluent to surface water.
Persons identified in section 2 may, if they so wish, include activities related to separate storm water systems or the management of sludge, residuals and biosolids in their pollution prevention plans.
The Minister requires all persons identified in section 2 to consider the following factors when preparing their pollution prevention plans:
(1) Following detailed scientific assessments, ammonia, inorganic chloramines, and chlorinated wastewater effluents, were found to be toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999). As such, the substances were added to the List of Toxic Substances (Schedule 1 of CEPA 1999) as it is considered that they are entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment. Persons subject to this notice shall consider that these substances are "toxic" as defined in CEPA 1999.
(2) Environment Canada is developing a long-term strategy (see footnote 3) for managing wastewater effluents which includes wastewater systems on federal and aboriginal lands. The long-term strategy addresses the three substances, which are the subject of this notice, along with other substances and pollutants. Persons subject to this notice shall consider the following elements of Environment Canada's long-term strategy:
(a) The long-term strategy's vision is to ensure that across the country, the release of wastewater effluents does not pose unacceptable risks to ecosystem health, human health and fisheries resources.
(b) To achieve this vision, activities to deliver the following outcomes will be pursued:
(i) implementation of preventative and control actions for toxic substances and other pollutants from industrial, commercial and institutional sources, including government operations, that discharge those substances to wastewater collection systems and wastewater treatment systems;
(ii) water conservation measures supported by water metering;
(iii) wastewater treatment systems equivalent in performance to secondary treatment with additional treatment where required;
(iv) a sustainable approach to financing wastewater collection systems and wastewater treatment systems that will ensure ongoing operation, maintenance and upgrading;
(v) working with other levels of governments, and stakeholders as appropriate, to develop objectives for specific "CEPA-toxic" and deleterious substances released from wastewater systems;
(vi) reference to these objectives in future CEPA instruments and a regulation under the Fisheries Act with the desired outcome of a fair, consistent and predictable application of CEPA 1999 and the Fisheries Act. The deposit of a deleterious substance of any type in water frequented by fish is prohibited by the Fisheries Act.
(3) In working towards the long-term strategy described in subsection 4(2), the Minister is taking a first-step, using the instrument of pollution prevention planning in accordance with the requirements of subsection 91(1) of CEPA 1999, to begin managing the risks posed by ammonia (see footnote 4) , inorganic chloramines and chlorinated wastewater effluents. The risk management objectives that have been set for the substances define what the Minister expects persons to achieve through this instrument.
Persons subject to this notice shall consider achieving the following risk management objectives:
(a) for inorganic chloramines and chlorinated wastewater effluent:
(i) achieve and maintain a concentration of total residual chlorine (TRC) that is less than or equal to 0.02 mg/L in the effluent released to surface water within 48 months of the publication date of the Final Notice;
(b) for ammonia:
(i) reduce to the fullest extent the amount of ammonia in the effluent released to surface water within 48 months of the publication date of the Final Notice.
(4) Pollution prevention activities include processes, practices, materials, products, substances or energy that avoid or minimize the creation of pollutants and waste and reduce the overall risk to the environment or human health. Pollution prevention planning is a means of addressing the release, to the environment, of toxic substances or other pollutants from a given system's operations. The result of pollution prevention planning is the implementation of preventive and/or control actions, giving preference to preventive actions.
(a) In order to achieve the risk management objective described in paragraph 4(3)(b), persons identified in subsection 2(2) and subsection 2(3) shall consider the following activities when preparing and implementing their pollution prevention plans:
(i) Conducting process audits within 18 months of the publication date of the Final Notice and implementing actions based on the audit findings within 48 months of the publication date of the Final Notice. One reference for process audits is an Environment Canada report entitled Treatment Processes for the Removal of Ammonia from Municipal Wastewater. The report also describes ways to identify and evaluate best available technologies for ammonia removal that are economically achievable. Refer to section 15 of this notice for information on obtaining a copy of this report.
(ii) Identifying the concentrations or quantities of ammonia in the wastewater discharged to the wastewater collection system from industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities, including government facilities, within 18 months of the publication date of the Final Notice and implementing actions to reduce the concentrations or quantities of ammonia discharged from these facilities within 48 months of the publication date of the Final Notice. One reference regarding the reduction of concentrations or quantities of ammonia from these facilities is a National Research Council document entitled Wastewater Source Control — A Best Practice By The National Guide to Sustainable Municipal Infrastructure. Refer to section 15 of this notice for information on obtaining a copy of the Best Practice document.
(b) The purpose of disinfecting and reducing the levels of pathogens in wastewater effluent released to surface water is to protect water quality for downstream uses including human consumption of water and the use by humans of fisheries resources. In order to achieve the risk management objective described in paragraph 4(3)(a) and while maintaining the protection to water quality, persons identified in subsection 2(1) shall consider alternative disinfectants such as ultraviolet irradiation and ozone, or dechlorination, when preparing and implementing their pollution prevention plan.
(5) The long-term strategy described in subsection 4(2) refers to the control of "CEPA toxic" substances and other pollutants from industrial, commercial and institutional sources, including government operations, that discharge those substances to wastewater collection systems and wastewater treatment systems. When preparing and implementing their pollution prevention plans, persons subject to this notice shall consider taking actions to reduce the discharge from these facilities of the following substances which are specified on Schedule 1 of CEPA 1999:
(a) nonylphenol and its ethoxylates
(b) effluents from textile mills that use wet processing
(e) hexavalent chromium compounds
(f) inorganic cadmium compounds
(g) inorganic arsenic compounds
One reference for information on wastewater source control is Wastewater Source Control — A Best Practice By The National Guide to Sustainable Municipal Infrastructure. The Best Practice document identifies a sewer use by-law as a basic element of a source control program. Refer to section 15 of this notice for information about obtaining a copy of the Best Practice document.
(6) When preparing and implementing their pollution prevention plans, persons subject to this notice shall consider implementing changes, including infrastructure design changes, to the wastewater collection system, to the wastewater treatment system and to the type and location of the effluent release point (outfall) within 48 months of the publication date of the Final Notice.
(7) The long-term strategy described in subsection 4(2) includes ensuring that the risks to ecosystem health posed by wastewater effluent released to surface water are reduced. The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Canadian Water Quality (CCME-CWQ) Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Life (2000) are intended to provide guidance for the protection of freshwater and marine life in aquatic ecosystems. The CCME-CWQ Guidelines (see footnote 5) are meant to protect all forms of aquatic life and all aspects of the aquatic life cycles.
(a) When preparing and implementing their pollution prevention plans, persons identified in subsection 2(1) shall consider developing and implementing a monitoring program for the surface water receiving the release of their effluent in relation to the CCME-CWQ Guidelines of 0.0005 mg/L reactive chlorine species for the protection of freshwater life, and 0.0005 mg/L chlorine-produced oxidants for the protection of marine (saltwater) life. (Note that reactive chlorine species and chlorine-produced oxidants are typically measured as total residual chlorine.)
(b) When preparing and implementing their pollution prevention plans, persons identified in subsection 2(2) and subsection 2(3) shall consider developing and implementing a monitoring program for the surface water receiving the release of their effluent in relation to the CCME-CWQ Guideline of 0.019 mg/L un-ionized ammonia for the protection of freshwater life. (Note that due to limited ammonia toxicity data on marine (saltwater) organisms, there was insufficient information to derive a guideline and as a result, no marine guideline has been recommended.)
The Minister requires that the plan be prepared and is being implemented within 24 months of the publication date of the Final Notice.
The Minister requires that the plan must be implemented within 60 months of the publication date of the Final Notice.
7. Content of Plans
Persons preparing the plan are to determine the appropriate content of their own plan; however, the plan must meet all the requirements of the Final Notice.

Proposed Notice Requiring the Preparation and Implementation of Pollution Prevention Plans in Respect of Nonylphenol (NP) and Its Ethoxylates (NPEs) Used in the Wet Processing Textile Industry and Effluents from Textile Mills That Use Wet Processing (TMEs)
The Minister of the Environment proposes to publish, under section 91 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the following notice developed under section 56 of CEPA 1999. This proposed notice requires the preparation and implementation of pollution prevention plans in respect of nonylphenol and its ethoxylates used in the wet processing textile industry and effluents from textile mills that use wet processing. Both substances are specified on the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Act. This notice will target textile mills that are involved in wet processing.
Any person may, within 60 days after the date of publication of this proposed notice, file to the Minister of the Environment comments with respect to the proposed notice. All comments must cite Part I of the Canada Gazette, the date of publication of this notice, and be addressed to the National Office of Pollution Prevention, c/o CEPA 1999 Part 4 P2 Plans, Environment Canada, Place Vincent Massey, 13th Floor, 351 Saint-Joseph Boulevard, Hull, Quebec K1A 0H3. After receiving and considering comments on this proposed notice, the Minister of the Environment proposes to publish the Final Notice in Part I of the Canada Gazette.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the provisions of Part 4 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the Minister of the Environment requires the persons or class of persons described in section 1 of this notice to prepare and implement pollution prevention plans in respect of nonylphenol and its ethoxylates used in the wet processing textile industry and effluents from textile mills that use wet processing, which are specified on the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. A non-exhaustive list of commonly used NP and NPEs CAS (see footnote 6) Registry Numbers used in Canadian industry is found in the instruction insert associated with this notice (see section 17 for information on how to get copies of this instruction insert).
This notice applies to any person or class of persons who, on the date of publication of the final notice:
(1) Owns or operates a textile mill that is involved in wet processing activities including, but not limited to, scouring, neutralizing, desizing, mercerizing, carbonizing, fulling, bleaching, dyeing, printing or any other type of wet finishing activity;
(2) Discharges effluents produced during wet processes used in textile manufacturing to a municipal wastewater or sewage treatment plant; and
(3) Has had an effluent discharge greater than 30 m3 per day, based on average daily discharge, at least once during the five years preceding the year of publication of the final notice. The average daily discharge is calculated from the total yearly flow divided by the number of facility operating days.
2. Activities in relation to which the plan is to be prepared
This notice covers the following activities involving the use of nonylphenol and its ethoxylates used in the wet processing textile industry and the discharge of effluents from textile mills that use wet processing:
(1) Wet processing activities as enumerated in section 1; and
(2) On-site wastewater treatment or preliminary treatment (such as pH adjustment, flow equalisation, or screening).
3. Factors to consider in preparing the plan
All persons identified in section 1 are to consider the following factors when preparing their pollution prevention plan:
(1) The risk management objectives outlined below:
(a) For NP/NPEs used in textile wet processing:
Reduce the annual use of NP/NPEs by at least 97 percent on a mass basis relative to the annual use for the 1998 base year. Should there be no NP/NPEs use data for the 1998 calendar year, the first year after 1998, but no later than 2005, for which there is data should be considered as the base year. The risk management objective is to achieve this reduction, based on annual use, by the 2009 calendar year.
(b) For TMEs:
Achieve and maintain, through means other than dilution, a maximum acute toxicity of 13 percent IC50 (50 percent inhibiting concentration), measured according to the method description provided in the document, "Biological test method: Toxicity Test Using Luminescent Bacteria" (EPS 1/RM/24, November 1992) for a test duration of 15 minutes. The risk management objective is to achieve this reduction in toxicity by the 2009 calendar year.
(2) NP/NPEs and TMEs were declared toxic under section 64 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 and subsequently added to the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Act. According to the Priority Substances List Assessment Reports for both NP/NPEs and TMEs, both substances are "entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity". Priority Substances List Assessment Reports for both NP/NPEs and TMEs can be found at: http://www2.ec.gc.ca/ substances/ese/eng/psap/final/main.cfm. Paper copies of the NP/NPEs and TMEs Priority Substances List Assessment Reports can be acquired by contacting the Inquiry Centre, 351 Saint-Joseph Boulevard, Hull, Quebec K1A 0H3, 1-800-668-6767.
(3) Choosing alternative products to NP/NPEs that reduce or minimise environmental risks. Accordingly:
(a) A review of relevant data for octylphenol and its ethoxylates (OP/OPEs) conducted by Environment Canada and presented in the Supporting Document to the Priority Substances List Assessment Report on NP/NPEs (March 2000) showed that OP/OPEs have similar toxicological properties to NP/NPEs and therefore would not be an appropriate alternative to NP/NPEs since their use may amplify rather than reduce the risk to the environment.
(b) Chosen alternative products should not have, through their degradation, the potential to produce NP/NPEs.
(4) Achieving the risk management objectives described in subsection 3(1) giving priority to pollution prevention activities, that is, the use of processes, practices, materials, products, substances or energy that avoid or minimize the creation of pollutants and waste and reduce the overall risk to the environment or human health. Hence, persons identified in section 1 shall give consideration to the following elements, without limiting themselves to:
(a) Advanced dyeing, such as low liquor ratio dyeing machines and cold pad batch dyeing,
(b) Substitution or reduction of certain chemicals such as surfactants containing NP/NPES and dyes,
(c) Improved quality control of raw materials,
(d) Optimization of chemical use, such as the use of automated chemical dosing systems and dye machine controllers,
(e) Chemical recovery and reuse, such as a salt bath recovery system.
(5) To measure textile mill effluent toxicity, define a monitoring plan to be followed during implementation of the pollution prevention plan. This monitoring plan would include:
(a) The analysis of 24-hour composite samples collected at a frequency of at least four per year;
(b) The collection of effluent samples at evenly spaced time intervals throughout the year; this should include a minimum of four samples per year, spaced at three-month intervals;
(c) The collection of effluent samples such that they are representative of the textile mill effluent under typical or regular operating conditions, as well as effluent samples representative of wastewater being discharged to the municipal wastewater or sewage treatment plant;
(d) Documenting the rationale for the selection of specific monitoring times and the corresponding results;
(e) The implementation of quality assurance and control measures that will ensure the accuracy of the effluent characterization data.
4. Period within which the plan is to be prepared
The Minister requires that the plan be prepared and implementation initiated by January 31, 2006.
5. Period within which the plan is to be implemented
The Minister requires that the plan be implemented by January 31, 2010.

Since 1997, and at the request of industry, the Canadian Coast Guard, a sector of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, has managed the maintenance dredging of the navigation channel of the St. Lawrence River between the Port of Montreal and Île aux Coudres near the City of Québec. This portion of the navigation channel is known as the St. Lawrence Ship Channel and requires maintenance dredging on an annual basis to ensure commercial navigation. Consequently, the costs of this maintenance dredging service are the responsibility of those interests who benefit from this service.
This fee schedule, which replaces the earlier fee schedule that expired on March 31, 2003, extends the current arrangement whereby the Canadian Coast Guard is reimbursed, via fees, for the total direct costs it incurs to manage the maintenance dredging of the ship channel on behalf of commercial users.
The key elements of the new fee schedule are:
— The new fee schedule comes into force on June 1, 2003, for an indefinite period.
— Its two major components are:
— Ships that transit the Ship Channel will pay a fee obtained by multiplying the gross tonnage of the ship by $0.0377 for each transit. This transit fee will be indexed to inflation on an annual basis, starting on April 1, 2004; and
— For each fiscal year, the difference between the total direct costs to the Canadian Coast Guard to manage the dredging of the ship channel, and the revenue generated from the transit fee, will be paid by the Port of Montreal, the Port of Quebec and Ultramar Ltd. on a pre-determined cost-shared basis.
— The new fees reflect the costs that the Canadian Coast Guard will incur to manage the maintenance dredging of the ship channel, but will not exceed the total direct costs related to this service.
For further information regarding this fee schedule, interested parties may contact Mr. Marc Demonceaux, Director, Marine Programs, Canadian Coast Guard, 101 Champlain Boulevard, Québec, Quebec G1K 7Y7, (418) 648-4548 (Telephone), (418) 648-5169 (Facsimile), demonceauxm@dfo-mpo.gc.ca (Electronic mail).
