Proponent: Newfoundland Industrial Composting Ltd.

Summary of Environmental Assessment Process

Project Description:

The proponent intends to establish a commercial indoor windrow type composting facility near the Long Harbour Access Road, approximately 5.7km from the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Route 202. The facility will collect and process a variety of organic wastes from agricultural and industrial sources in Newfoundland to produce a high-quality compost for agricultural and landscaping purposes. Organic waste and carbon sources will be mixed on site and distributed in long parallel windrows sufficiently spaced to be mechanically turned for aeration. Organic wastes will consist of mink farm offal/carcasses, spent hens, dead birds, poultry feathers, slaughterhouse offal from poultry, sheep cattle, hogs and fish processing wastes. Carbon sources will come from lumber waste and wood chips from saw mills.
