Jayne Trent Asks:

Are you for, against, or undecided about land application of biosolids? If you are undecided will do you plan on taking what ever advice city staff puts forward to council or will you be doing your own independent research?


I am against. I think that the risk for contamination with heavy metals, drugs, etc cannot be overlooked. I think we would be better to look at thermal conversion/incineration options with heat recovery for energy. Many places in Canada and elsewhere have obtained a net zero energy cost on this process, with some now looking at net positive outputs. Thank you for your question.
