Jones Group Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)

The Jones Group Ltd. owns the combined contractor’s yard and waste management facility located at 7809 Howard Avenue in McGregor (Amherstburg), Ontario.

The facility operates with Environmental Compliance Approval No. 5291-9X3NDV for the receipt and processing of solid non-hazardous construction and demolition waste and other scrap metals up to 327 tonnes per day on a 7.5 hectare property.

Total waste and processed materials, including clean wood for grinding and stockpiling, scrap metal sorting and stockpiling, and concrete and asphalt receiving, sorting, crushing, screening and stockpiling, does not exceed 35,000 tonnes at any time.

The Jones Group Ltd. has applied for a minor technical amendment for a waste processing site (other than hazardous/liquid industrial) to receive and process excess soil and soil slurries from local sources and ongoing construction, demolition, infrastructure, and repair projects.

A maximum of 300 tonnes per day of incoming excess soil and soil slurries will be processed by gravity drainage, turning, soil mixing, and blending from an inclined gravel pad underlain by compacted native clayey soil with a maximum of 40,000 tonnes stockpiled at any time.

Incoming and processed excess soil bulk quality testing is completed in consideration of beneficial reuse at destination properties. Shallow groundwater quality is monitored on a quarterly basis from locations in proximity to facility operations, and surface water quality monitoring is completed at prescribed locations and frequency in compliance with the industrial sewage works Environmental Compliance Approval requirements, as input toward whether facility operations impact the surrounding natural environment.

The Facility serves the Province of Ontario and operates Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
