NOTICE REQUIRING THE PREPARATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF POLLUTION PREVENTION PLANS IN RESPECT OF HYDRAZINE RELATED TO THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the provisions of subsection 56(1) of Part 4 of the Act, the Minister of the Environment requires any person or class of persons described in section 2 of this Notice, to prepare and implement a pollution prevention plan in respect of hydrazine, which is specified on the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Act.
1. Definitions
The definitions in this section apply to this Notice.
- "Act" means the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA).
- "Effluent" means a process stream released at any final discharge point of the facility.
- "Electricity sector" means a group of companies engaged in the generation and transmission of electricity, and whose primary purpose is the generation of electricity for distribution or commercial sale.
- "Facility" includes any industrial site that generates electricity primarily for distribution or commercial sale, and excludes facilities where electricity is generated with a non-thermal process.
- "Final discharge point" means an identifiable release point, prior to any dilution by receiving water, beyond which the facility operator no longer exercises control over quality of the effluent.
- "Hydrazine" means the substance with the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS RN footnote 1) 302-01-2, and the Domestic Substances List name "Hydrazine".
- "Large freshwater body" means a freshwater body, other than the Great Lakes, where the ratio of receiving water flow to effluent flow is greater than 100:1, calculated using the 10th percentile of the receiving water flow (or equivalent), and the highest expected effluent flow containing hydrazine.
- "Minister" means the Minister of the Environment.
- "Notice" means the Notice requiring the preparation and implementation of pollution prevention plans in respect of hydrazine related to the electricity sector.
- "Normal operating conditions" means any activity that results in release of effluent containing hydrazine, other than during start-up, during shutdown, and during emergency circumstances or accidental releases. This includes, but is not limited to, steam generation systems, feed water systems, and condensate systems where oxygen scavengers are used for water chemistry optimization.
- "Operator" means the person who operates or has charge, management or control of a facility.
- "Plan" means a pollution prevention plan.
- "Pollution prevention," as defined in section 3 of the Act, means the use of processes, practices, materials, products, substances or energy that avoid or minimize the creation of pollutants and waste and reduce the overall risk to the environment or human health.
- "Receiving water" means any body, stream or channel of water, but excluding water used in the equipment of the facility, or for on-site storage or treatment of effluents.
- "Techniques" includes both the facility equipment used in the process and how the process is operated. It includes, but is not limited to, matters such as the number of employees, their qualifications and experience, working methods, training, supervision and the manner in which the process is performed. It also includes the design, construction, layout and maintenance of the facility.
2. Person or class of persons required to prepare and implement a plan
- (1) This Notice applies to any person or class of persons who, on the date of publication of the Notice and anytime thereafter, operates a facility in the electricity sector that, under normal operating conditions and at any final discharge point, has a concentration of hydrazine that is higher than the following target levels:
- 26 ug/L, if discharged to a Great Lake;
- 26 ug/L, if discharged to a large freshwater body;
- 2.6 ug/L, if discharged to a freshwater body that is not a large freshwater body or a Great lake; or
- 2.0 ug/L, if discharged to sea water.
- (2) The Notice applies to any person or class of persons who is the successor or assign of the persons identified in subsection 2(1).
3. Activities in relation to which the plan is to be prepared
The Minister requires any person or class of persons identified in section 2 of the Notice to prepare and implement a plan in relation to the use and release of hydrazine.
4. Factors to consider in preparing the plan
The Minister requires any person or class of persons identified in section 2 of the Notice to consider the following factors when preparing their plan:
- (1) Hydrazine was classified as a toxic substance under paragraphs 64(a) and 64(c) of the Act and has been added to the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Act on September 20, 2012. The final Screening Assessment Report concluded that hydrazine is entering or may enter the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity or that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health. The final Screening Assessment Report for hydrazine is available on the Government of Canada website.
- (2) The risk management objective for hydrazine is to achieve and maintain a total hydrazine concentration in effluent at each final discharge point of the facility that is less than or equal to the target levels specified as per subsection 2(1).
- (3) Priority must be given to pollution prevention activities, by utilizing techniques or best available technologies as a means to address the release of hydrazine to the aquatic environment.
- (4) All effluent streams from industrial processes and cooling systems, all surface drainage streams, and all groundwater-sourced effluent streams that can contain hydrazine under normal operating conditions should be addressed by the Plan. The Plan should include a map identifying and labelling each final discharge point, as well as a description of each final discharge point.
- (5) Conduct sampling of effluent for analysis for each final discharge point of the facility that contains or may contain hydrazine and prior to any dilution by receiving water.
- (a) Sampling should at all times be representative of the highest expected concentration of hydrazine resulting from normal operating conditions. Although the sampling frequency may be aligned with existing reporting requirements under other jurisdictions, samples should be collected and analyzed a minimum of four times per year for each final discharge point that contains or may contain hydrazine. Sampling and handling of the samples should be conducted following best practices for the applicable analytical method in order to minimize the degradation of hydrazine;
- (b) Any analysis of hydrazine performed for the purposes of this Notice must be performed by a laboratory that meets the following conditions at the time of analysis:
- (i) The laboratory
- (A) is accredited under the International Organization for Standardization standard ISO/IEC 17025, entitled General requirements for the competences of testing and calibration laboratories, by an accrediting body that is a signatory to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation Mutual Recognition Arrangement,
- (B) is accredited under the Environmental Quality Act, CQLR, c. Q-2, and the scope of its accreditation includes the analysis of hydrazine, or
- (C) is an equivalent laboratory to an accredited laboratory described in clause (A) and (B),
- (ii) The laboratory analysis should be performed according to an analytical method that achieves a limit of quantification at or below the target levels specified in subsection 2(1).
- (i) The laboratory
5. Period within which the plan is to be prepared
- (1) For a person or class of persons subject to the Notice on the date of publication in the Canada Gazette, Part I, the Minister requires that the plan be prepared and implementation initiated no later than 12 months from the publication date of the Notice.
- (2) For a person or class of persons becoming subject to the Notice after the date of publication in the Canada Gazette, Part I, the Minister requires that the plan be prepared and implementation initiated no later than 12 months from becoming subject to the Notice.
