The Government of Nunavut Department of Community and Government Services, on behalf of the Municipality of Kinngait (Cape Dorset), is applying to amend water licence 3BM-CAP1925 in the Municipality of Kinngait to proceed with the construction of a mechanical wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)As part of the feasibility study, several sites for the WWTP were considered and evaluated. The recommendation was for the WWTP to be located west of the existing metal and wood recycling site, adjacent to the existing outfall from the emergency lagoon.The new WWTP will be designed to provide reliable treatment of all truck-collected sewage from the community for a 20-year horizon (2025 to 2045) replacing the existing wastewater lagoon system (3-tier lagoon, emergency lagoon, and P-Lake). The estimated daily flow of wastewater is 184 m^3 by 2025 based on population projections and per capita wastewater generation calculations.The expected effluent quality will exceed current water licence criteria. Based on the WWTP technology, the effluent quality is expected to have the following characteristics: BOD5: 25 mg/L; TSS: 25 mg; un-ionized ammonia: 1.25 mg/L; faecal coliform: 200 CFU/100 mL; pH: 6.0 – 9.0; and oil and grease: no visible sheen. The effluent would be discharged by a heat-traced pipe from the WWTP to the existing emergency lagoon outfall at Foxe Channel (CAP-5).Calculations estimate 25.6 tonnes of dry solid sludge would be produced by the WWTP in 2025 and 88.4 tonnes of dry solid sludge by 2045. A sludge management plan has been established, which plans for the sludge to be brought to a holding pad at the existing landfill where the sludge will be dewatered in geomembrane bags.All other previously submitted information for this water licence remains the same.
