This Section of the Licence contains requirements intended to provide guidance to the Licencee in implementing practices to ensure that the environment is maintained in such a manner as to sustain a high quality of life, including social and economic development, recreation and leisure for present and future Manitobans.

1. The Licencee shall implement a high standard of equipment maintenance and good housekeeping and operational practices with respect to the Development, at all times.
   
   
2. The Licencee shall reduce the production and dissemination of wastes by initiating and maintaining waste reduction and waste recycling programs.
   
   
3. The Licencee shall, upon the request of the Director and in addition to any of the limits, terms or conditions specified in this Licence:

1. sample, monitor, analyze and/or investigate specific areas of concern regarding any segment, component or aspect of pollutant storage, containment, treatment, handling, disposal or emission systems, for such pollutants or ambient quality, aquatic toxicity, leachate characteristics and discharge or emission rates, for such duration and at such frequencies as may be specified;
2. determine the environmental impact associated with the release of any pollutants from the said Development; or
3. provide the Director, within such time as may be specified, with such reports, drawings, specifications, analytical data, descriptions of sampling and analytical procedures being used, bioassay data, flow rate measurements and such other information as may from time to time be requested.

4. The Licencee shall, unless otherwise specified in this Licence:

1. carry out all sampling of, and preservation and analyses on, water, soil or air samples in accordance with methodologies approved by the Director;
2. ensure that all analytical determinations are undertaken by an accredited laboratory; and
3. report the results to the Director within 60 days of the samples being taken.

5. The Licencee shall provide to the Director, upon request, all information required under this Licence, in writing and in such form and content (including number of copies), as may be specified by the Director.

6. The Licencee shall operate the Development in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Canadian Council of Ministers of Environment (CCME – PN 1276) Management Plan Initiative V305, Environmental Guideline For the Reduction of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from the Composites Industry, published January 1998.

Respecting Air Emissions

7. The Licencee shall not emit from the Development:

1. particulate matter in any air emission that:

1. exceeds 0.23 grams per dry standard cubic metre calculated at 25 degrees Celsius and 760 millimetres of mercury, corrected to 12 percent carbon dioxide for processes involving combustion, from any point source of the Development;
2. exhibits a visible plume with an opacity of greater than 5 percent at any point beyond the property line of the Development; or
3. results in the deposition of visible particulate residue at any time beyond the property line of the Development; or

2. particulate matter from any point source with an opacity that equals or exceeds:

1. 20 percent as the average of any 24 consecutive opacity observations taken at 15 second intervals;
2. 20 percent for more than 16 individual opacity observations within any 1 hour period; or
3. 40 percent for any individual opacity observation.

8. The Licencee shall not cause or permit a noise nuisance to be created as a result of the operation or alteration of the Development, and shall take such steps as the Director may require to eliminate or mitigate a noise nuisance.
   
   
9. The Licencee shall not cause or permit an odour nuisance to be created as a result of the operation or alteration of the Development, and shall take such steps as the Director may require to eliminate or mitigate an odour nuisance.

Respecting Air Pollution Control Management

10. The Licencee shall, upon the request of the Director, submit a plan for the further management of particulate and organic air emissions including total VOC’s, styrene, acetone, ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer, methyl methacrylate, isopropanol, methyl ethyl ketone, dimethyl phthalate, hydroquinone, xylene, benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene and others as indicated by the Director. The plan shall identify the potential impacts of emissions and describe practicable measures to reduce, minimize or remove contaminants either through operational procedures or by pollution control devices such that any potential significant health or environmental impact beyond the property boundaries of the Development are minimized.
    
    
11. The Licencee shall, when requested by the Director, implement any measure or measures contained in the management plan developed in Clause 10 of this Licence, according to a schedule and timeframe agreed to between the Licencee and the Director.

2. completed within a time frame; and
3. to the specifications;

16. The Licencee shall submit to the Director within 90 days of receipt of the analytical results of the sampling performed per Clause 15 of this Licence, a report that discusses the characterization, sampling and analysis project and the results of that project. This report shall address any potential health or environmental impacts beyond the boundaries of the Development that might be caused by the emissions studied.

Respecting Waste Disposal
