Thank you to everyone who shared comments on the Capital Regional District’s (CRD’s) draft Long-term Biosolids Management Strategy. The feedback period is now complete.
On June 12, 2024, after reviewing your feedback , the Capital Regional District Board approved the final Long-term Biosolids Management Strategy. This strategy outlines a sustainable approach to managing biosolids produced within the region and consists of a portfolio of options that prioritize advanced thermal processing while also considering out-of-region and in-region contingency options to ensure regulatory compliance and adaptability.
The Long-Term Biosolids Management Strategy is subject to provincial approval as part of the CRD’s commitments under the Core Area Liquid Waste Management Plan. On June 6, the CRD Board received a letter from the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy offering an extension to the June 18 deadline. Because the conditions and timelines presented by the Minister pose a challenge, the Board decided that it was prepared to submit the strategy, along with feedback received, to the province in accordance with the original deadline.
