Soil Processing Facility Expansion - 75 Udine Avenue, Welland
Official title: 2374868 ONTARIO INC. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)
A soil processing company in Welland wants to double how much waste soil it can receive daily. The facility takes slurry from hydro vacuum trucks, separates the water, and either reuses the dry soil or sends it to landfill. They're also asking to store more liquid soil on site—up from 100 tonnes to 2,250 cubic meters.
Why This Matters
Live near 75 Udine Avenue in Welland? This facility could see twice as many trucks coming and going. More soil processing means more potential for dust, noise, and groundwater concerns. If you rely on well water nearby, you'll want to know about the monitoring program.
What Could Change
If approved, the daily receiving limit jumps from 100 tonnes to 200 cubic meters. Liquid soil storage would increase 22-fold. The facility already operates 24/7 for processing—this wouldn't change that, but truck traffic during business hours would likely increase.
Key Issues
- Should the daily receiving rate be doubled from 100 tonnes to 200 cubic meters?
- Should liquid soil storage be increased from 100 tonnes to 2,250 cubic meters?
- Are the groundwater monitoring and water reuse practices adequate for expanded operations?
