At the time of writing, U.S. President Donald Trump had just announced a 25% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum products. This would be part of the general 25% tariff on all Canadian exports to the U.S., scheduled to take effect in early March.
In turn, our federal government has threatened retaliatory but unspecified tariffs on U.S. imports. While no one knows the length and extent of this ever-evolving political situation, it is already having consequences for equipment suppliers and municipalities.
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) says it “strongly condemns new U.S. tariffs on Canadian products and warns of the severe consequences they will have on local economies across the country.”
“Municipalities are the backbone of the Canadian economy and the engine that drives growth, productivity and jobs,” said FCM President Rebecca Bligh in a February 1 statement. “Tariffs put local businesses, workers and supply chains at risk. Any response to the actions of the U.S. administration must be coordinated across all orders of government, as municipalities play a crucial role on Team Canada.”
Green Building Canada is a network connecting sustainability-focused professionals, homeowners and the green building community across Canada. On its website it says that Canada’s proposed retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods target a wide array of products crucial to the Canadian construction and manufacturing sectors.
These retaliatory tariffs could have significant ripple effects throughout Canada’s construction industry, warns Green Building Canada. For projects that rely heavily on U.S. imports, the increased costs could delay timelines, raise overall expenses and jeopardize projects entirely.
Green Building Canada added that “the potential [retaliatory] tariffs could encourage a shift towards sourcing materials domestically or from alternative international suppliers.”
The Ontario Sewer and Watermain Construction Association represents 750 companies, including contractors, manufacturers, distributors, and consulting engineers from across the province. In a February 5 bulletin, it said, “there remains questions about the implications of future potential tariffs to Canada’s construction and infrastructure industry, as the costs of products essential to construction could immediately increase upon the introduction of any such tariffs.”
It advises members and the industry to check if contracts include, “provisions for price adjustments due to changes in taxes and customs duties.”
The idea of Canadian retaliatory tariffs and a “Buy Canadian” attitude is not new, nor is the cautious warnings of trade and industry associations. In 2009, there was
a lot of concern over the implications of the Obama Administration’s “Buy American” provisions contained in the American Recovery and Re-investment Act (ARRA).
In a survey taken in the fall of 2009, less than one in three member companies of the Ontario Pollution Control Equipment Association (OPCEA) supported the FCM’s “Fair Trade” Resolution that was crafted in response to the ARRA. This resolution encouraged Canadian municipalities to adopt procurement policies that excluded the use of products in infrastructure projects that were imported from countries that did not allow free and unfettered access to Canadian-made products.
Like many supplier associations, OPCEA is comprised of companies that manufacture equipment and supplies in Ontario, as well as companies that sell, or distribute imported equipment and supplies. While the association recognized the need to support free access to the U.S. market for its Canadian manufacturing members, it also supported member companies that sell American products into the Ontario market.
It was the opinion of OPCEA in 2009 that Canadian and U.S. markets are inextricably linked, and that any policy restricting market access in either direction is counterproductive and will ultimately negatively affect Canadians.
In writing this article I reached out to several current OPCEA members and they expressed the same sentiment with the current trade war situation. Also, they noted that Canadian equipment manufacturers still do not have either the range of products, nor the capacity, to fill the void that would be created if U.S.-made wastewater and water infrastructure products could no longer be purchased.
Maintaining and expanding water and wastewater treatment plants and their infrastructure systems to meet demand still needs to happen regardless of tariff cost increases. Municipalities are already under pressure to support ambitious housing targets that are a priority to Canadians, and the tariff chaos is only complicating matters. Improved efficiencies will help somewhat, but commodity and equipment prices will always be a key factor.
While the current situation is serious and unpredictable, there is some consolation to be found in the fact that this is not the first time Canada’s water, wastewater and environmental industries have faced trade complications with our southern neighbour. Let us hope that any tariff-induced project delays (and sleepless nights) are short lived.

The value of land applied biosolids to farmers is $500 per hectare.
Credit: ruudmorijn,stock.adobe.com
By Phil Sidhwa
Over the last several months, some community groups have questioned the safety and efficacy of biosolids being applied to farmland. The Ontario Biosolids Council, which is drawn from organizations representing the industry who manage the application of biosolids as a fertilizer, and some of the municipalities that produce these biosolids for agricultural use, want to correct the misinformation about biosolid use.
Opinions are not facts, and the use of biosolids to enhance the soil quality and nutrient levels of Ontario farmlands is a well-regulated agricultural practice that is the very definition of environmental sustainability and our collective drive for a circular economy. The experts are not only those working in the industry, aca-
demia, governments and their agencies, but also a large group of scientists that have scientifically researched the safety and efficacy of biosolids for decades (and continue to do so, across Canada and the United States).
First, the terms biosolids and sewage sludge are not interchangeable. Biosolids are produced when municipal wastewater treatment facilities treat wastewater from residential, industrial and commercial sources into treated water and leftover solids. Treated water is normally discharged to a nearby stream or river, while the solids go through an additional treatment process to reduce the presence of potentially harmful micro-organisms and odours. Treated solids that meet the regulatory requirements, including quality standards, are known as biosolids.
It is only at this point that Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) and Ontario’s Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness (OMAFA) will consider allowing these biosolids to be applied to farmlands. Ontario’s comprehensive Nutrient Management Act is then followed to pro-
vide a strict and effective regulation for their safe and productive use.
The province is not the only regulator. At a federal level, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) provides a further level of oversight through the Fertilizers Act when biosolids are processed into pellets and used like any other traditional fertilizers. Here, the level of regulation has addressed the emerging concern of any possible contamination of fertilizers from PFAS.
In October 2024, this new regulation limited the amount of PFAS that can be found in fertilizers derived from biosolids to 50 parts per billion. For context, that is the equivalent of three drops of water into an Olympic sized pool. Protecting both farmers and all Canadians even further, this same regulation bans the import of any such fertilizers that don’t meet this rigid standard from being allowed into the country at all.
This level of belt-and-suspenders regulation and oversight is important. As an industry, we welcome it and support its enforcement. That’s because the continued availability of biosolids is crucial to the farmers that use them and to the municipalities that produce them. It’s a win-win relationship.
The alternatives to land application — landfilling or incineration — are neither environmentally friendly nor sustainable. Moreover, they would unnecessarily add costs to municipal taxpayers while taking away real financial benefits from farmers (the value of land applied biosolids to farmers is $500 per hectare — that’s thousands and thousands of dollars a year of cost savings to each participating farmer).
The land application of biosolids is a science-based, historically safe, and well-regulated solution to two problems. These are the need to provide on-going nutrients to farmlands and the need to beneficially use a by-product of our municipal wastewater treatment systems. Just as we treat wastewater and then return it to the ecosystem from where it was originally drawn.

The City of Kimberley, British Columbia, is moving forward with plans to build a new wastewater treatment plant, but the project team identified challenges with the original design, which would have exceeded the budget by an estimated $40 million.
The updated plan includes shifting to an aerobic granular sludge (AGS) process as a cost-efficient and environmentally sustainable wastewater treatment method, local officials announced in an update. The plant had initially been set as a Food Chain Reactor facility, which is a type of fixed-film activated sludge treatment.
The community of just under 9,000 residents will now focus on optimizing construction and process methods, as well as proposing to build the plant closer to the existing facility than initially planned.
“The proposed treatment process is designed to comply with environmental standards, address odour concerns, and allow for future growth,” said City of Kimberley Wastewater Treatment Plant Project Manager Shane Castle. “The updated location, near the existing facility, will help manage costs, while supporting longterm environmental safety and resilience against the impacts of climate change. We understand that these changes may raise questions and concerns, and we are dedicated to providing clear and transparent information as we move forward.”
These adjustments will support the goal of staying within the original budget while maximizing the use of available grant funding. Visual comparisons of the original and revised locations, as well as renderings of the updated design, will be shared with the public once avail-
able, according to local officials.
Funding for the initial project comes from a $90.6 million investment commitment from federal, provincial, and municipal governments announced in December 2023.
The new facility will replace the aging
pollution control centre, built in 1967, with modern infrastructure that minimizes environmental impacts on the St. Mary’s River and downstream communities.

The Ontario government is investing $278,312 for the Town of Ajax to rehabilitate its Bradbury stormwater pond, which would enhance flood protection and facilitate the construction of new homes as local officials set out to create their first stormwater master plan.
This funding comes through the Housing-Enabling Water Systems Fund, which includes $970 million to help municipalities develop, repair, rehabilitate and expand drinking water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure.
The Nottingham South (Bradbury) Pond is one of many stormwater management ponds in the community that collect and store stormwater to reduce flooding and erosion by limiting the release of water to nearby creeks and rivers. Ajax contains 12 sub watersheds that eventually drain to Lake Ontario. Its stormwater system is not connected to the sanitary system, and the water is not treated at wastewater treatment facilities.
“The province’s investment in Ajax and the Durham Region will provide critical upgrades to stormwater management, ensuring we have the right infrastructure in place to support the growth of our community,” announced Patrice Barnes, MPP for Ajax.
Late last year, Ajax began developing its first stormwater master plan study, expected to be completed by summer 2025. The plan will identify stormwater management policy and guidelines, address stormwater infrastructure, and identify and prioritize identified projects.
Ajax, which has a total of 52 active private and municipal stormwater management facilities, implemented its first
stormwater fee in 2023. The town also has three rain gardens near Lake Ontario to improve surface water runoff infiltration. Two bioswales also serve to improve surface water infiltration.
Ajax also boasts the Greenwood Conservation Area, where residents can explore 283 hectares of naturalized green space, nature trails, walking paths and playgrounds.
Local officials celebrated the stormwater funding as they announced to the town of 127,000 residents that 2025 will be the town’s 70th anniversary.
WE HAVE AN EASY
INSTALL A SWM SHIELD TO PRE-TREAT YOUR POND
By Ryan Spooner
As insurance premiums for construction projects continue to rise, pushing deductibles into six figure territory, companies are looking for ways to reduce their risk during a build.
Large construction projects, like ViewStar’s in Richmond, British Columbia, with 12 buildings providing 941 residential units and 200,000 ft² of commercial space, are bustling sites, with many contractors coming and going.
It is not uncommon for water leaks to occur during any construction, and the risk multiplies by the number of floors, sub-contractors and complexity. Pipes can burst, fittings can leak, plumbing elements can be left open. If this happens at nighttime when no one is around, the damage can be extensive, particularly the closer the project is towards completion.
“With so many people on site, installing plumbing elements like valves, faucets, toilets, hoses and so on, there is a lot of potential for parts to fail or mistakes to happen,” said Andy Ciecielski, mechanical superintendent for ITC Construction Group (ITC), whose primary focus was to reduce damage and insurance claims during construction by mitigating risks and putting in protection measures.
“We have had some catastrophic water leaks in the past which cause huge time delays and add significant cost,” he added.
Unauthorized after-hours workers pose a serious health and safety risk as daytime resources and personnel are not on site to ensure safety protocols are being followed.
Colin Robins, with Summit Valve and Controls Inc., worked with Cla-Val to put together a package that would monitor the domestic water supply to the site, while providing drip tight isolation when required, and instantaneous alarms and feedback related to afterhours site conditions.
This package included a Cla-Val Series
ViewStar’s package included a Cla-Val Series 136 solenoid control valve, a VC-22D valve controller and various Cla-Val instrumentation and communication equipment.
136 solenoid control valve, a VC-22D valve controller and various Cla-Val instrumentation and communication equipment. A custom controller app was developed to monitor the instrumentation, control the valve action sequences, and create an alarm for the site.
The construction safety valve package is installed on the main water feed of each residential tower. This drip-tight, solenoid activated, on-off control valve effectively operates to shut off water to the building after hours. Activation of the control valve has the ability to be controlled locally via the VC-22D controller, remotely through the building management system, or in the case of the ViewStar project, via a user adjustable time-based program.
ITC selected to open the valve at 6 a.m., at the start of construction hours and close at 8 p.m., after construction hours, Monday to Saturday. The system was set to remain closed on Sunday when no construction was taking place. Besides controlling the water to the building, the package effectively adds a layer of supervision to the site by monitoring the pressure when there are no personnel on site.
If there is a pipe burst or leak, or unau-
thorized water use during the off period, it will result in a change in system pressure. The valve package will sense the change and will activate an alarm sequence. In addition to a siren alarm to alert on-site security to prompt an immediate investigation, the system will also send out a notification via cellular to building management. Multiple people can instantly be informed of the event.
In addition to the pressure monitoring, the valve package also monitors valve position and flow. The combination of feedback from these instruments gives the system the ability to sense unexpected flow events and activate alarm sequences for immediate attention. Once an alarm has been triggered, the valve will remain closed until the system is reset, ensuring water does not enter the system until the issues are resolved.
Water usage is usually not measured on a construction site, making it difficult to identify when it is being used. This valve package also helps prevent unauthorized use of water after hours, mitigating health and safety concerns associated with working outside of fully resourced operational hours.
“By monitoring pressure, flow and valve position, we now have better on-site water intelligence that reduces our risk of flood damage, and in turn lowers the potential for insurance claims,” said Ciecielski. “Going forward, we hope to install this construction safety valve on new construction sites.”
The valve is compact and can be designed for portable use so that once the construction is completed, it can be removed and installed on a new site. If the building management chooses to keep the valve, they can add further accessories to build in another layer of water shut-off safety for unplanned events like earthquakes or pipe bursts.

Ever since it was commissioned in 1974, the Echallens wastewater treatment plant in the Swiss canton of Vaud has been generating power from the recovery of biogas.
In 2019, a new biogas cogeneration unit was built, which generates 150,000 kilowatt-hours of power annually. Warm water recovered from the cogeneration unit is mainly used for the plant’s own needs, for instance, to warm up the sludge in the digester or heat indoor areas.
To make the process more economically efficient, a decision was taken to optimize the circulation of biogas within the digester. A portion of the biogas generated in the digester is fed back into the sludge. To do this, biogas is suctioned out of the top part of the digester, compressed and fed back into the sludge at the bottom of the digester.
The biogas flows through the sludge and then collects back up at the top of the digester, where it is fed through a line and into a gas tank as an interim reservoir. From the gas tank, the biogas then goes straight to the cogeneration unit. This currently runs for 20 hours a day and is only switched off for a few hours at night.
Circulating biogas has the following benefits:
• Concentrated sludge is heated to 38° Celsius in the digester. Flooding the sludge with biogas helps to ensure that the heat is evenly distributed.
• Mixing the sludge also helps to avoid deposits collecting and compacting at the bottom of the digester.
• The rising of the gas bubbles up through the sludge improves the microbiological degradation processes in the sludge, which ultimately leads to a higher gas yield.
• Circulating biogas through the sludge also means that it does not have to be mixed mechanically.
In May 2020, two old oil-lubricated piston compressors from the original facility used to mix the sludge in the digester were replaced by one MINK claw compressor from Busch Vacuum Solutions. This enabled the amount of power required for this process to be reduced by up to 40%.
MINK claw compressors are ATEXcertified, which means that flame arresters are no longer required. Furthermore, they are equipped with a variable speed drive so that the volume flow can be adapted pre-
cisely to the requirements in the digester. These units compress biogas without using any oil at all. This is made possible by the compressors’ contact-free operating principle, which means that the internal moving parts do not come in contact with each other or the housing. As a result, no oil changes are needed, unlike the original oil-lubricated piston compressors which required two each year.
Plant personnel also noted that the claw compressor is much quieter than the original piston compressors.

Dalhousie University researchers are piloting what may be the world’s first municipal-scale UV LED reactor for wastewater treatment, which they say could replace the energy-intensive mercury vapour bulbs that dominate the industry.
Halifax Water is also studying LED technology in collaboration with Dalhousie engineering researchers and AquiSense, the project’s industrial UV LED partner and supplier.
“The bulbs produce a lot of heat, and in a wastewater system, you can imagine there’s a lot of material in the water that builds up on them as a result, causing fouling,” says Halifax Water’s acting director of environment, health and safety, Dr. Wendy Krkosek, speaking about mercury vapour bulbs. “And so, there’s a very large operation and maintenance cost in cleaning the bulbs. It’s a significant burden on operations.”
The researchers also note that the UN Environment Programme’s Minamata Convention will put a stop to mercury mining by 2032, interrupting the supply needed by industry. The European Union banned the use of the chemical element, only making an exception for wastewater treatment due to a lack of alternatives.
Even when they are permitted, the researchers say that responsibly disposing of mercury bulbs is costly and complicated. As a result, they often end up stockpiled, racking up storage costs, along with potential risks.
Enter LEDs, the tiny points of light-emitting diodes that make up our screens and many modern illuminated environments. They are also the light source that Dalhousie University researchers want to see as a feasible replacement for mercury bulbs.
Graham Gagnon, director of Dalhou-
the technology. Now, he’s working with an NSERC Alliance Advantage grant to explore scaling up systems to meet the needs of drinking water disinfection at municipal and industrial levels. The researchers worked with Halifax Water to make the larger system a reality, teaming up with the utility to install and operate it at its Eastern Passage wastewater treatment facility.
The UV LED reactor is working so well that it’s difficult to know exactly how much power is actually needed for it to get the job done.
sie’s Centre for Water Resources Studies, explains that, unlike mercury vapour bulbs, which emit light and heat in all directions, UV LEDs are far more “disciplined”. They direct light one way and radiate heat the other.
“This means that as wastewater flows past the thousands of tiny diodes in a UV LED reactor, it is bathed in pure, targeted UV light without the high temperatures that lead to the buildup of effluent that fouls traditional mercury bulb systems,” explained the researchers in a statement.
In 2019, Gagnon took a single-diode unit to Nunavut for field research, which kindled a stronger interest in
The reactor has been integrated into the utility’s infrastructure since January 2024, allowing it to function at a municipal scale over an extended period of time. Students collect samples, working alongside Halifax Water employees and allowing researchers to closely study its efficiency, both in terms of its ability to disinfect water and the energy required to do it.
Their findings, published in the the journal, Water Research X, are positive, proving for the first time the ability of a UV LED system to meet the needs of municipal water disinfection.
Krkosek says the UV LED reactor is working so well that it’s difficult to know exactly how much power is actually needed for it to get the job done. The goal now is to find the sweet spot for operating the reactor with the least amount of power and greatest volume of water to achieve full disinfection without wasting energy, she says.
“Our research shows that we are using energy much more efficiently and so that will be much better from a greenhouse gas emission standpoint,” says Gagnon. “We don’t use any harmful chemicals, we consume less CO2, we consume less space, and we can deliver the same volume of water with at least the same quality, if not better.”

look inside the city’s technical arguments against fluoridation
By David Nesseth
As Montreal squeezes the tube on its last supply of fluoride from the two remaining treatment plants that apply it, two major reports from the city’s water department are linked to the policy shift by detailing scores of logistical challenges posed by fluoridation.
They are also some of the same challenges faced by Halifax Water, a utility that struggled in secret in recent years with fluoridation, and just made its technical challenges public. Calgary, too, has faced hurdles in its bid to resume fluoridation after shelving the tooth decay prevention tool for more than a decade, mirroring the story of Windsor, Ontario. It all starts with space. Water depart-
ments in both Halifax and Montreal have cramped chemical rooms that make it difficult to manage huge volumes of fluoride that require very particular storage, both in dry and liquid form. Then come more concerns. These include water treatment plant worker safety when handling the chemical compound, the impact of its corrosiveness on equipment, complex maintenance concerns, regulatory monitoring, dosing challenges, environmental impact, and, of course, cost.
However, many municipalities view the cost of fluoridation as being less than the potential healthcare costs of dental problems.
The reasons behind Montreal’s decision to reconsider fluoride, whether sparked by a citizen petition linked to RFK Jr.’s advocacy against fluoride in the U.S., or new studies about potential neurological impacts on children, have fueled many online searches of late. However, less attention has been given
to the significant technical challenges of being one of the most fluoridated countries in the world. The experiences of Montreal and other Canadian cities shed light on these challenges, without the intention of diminishing acknowledged oral health benefits.
The City of Montreal’s water department, known as Service de l’eau, begins one of its exhaustive reports on fluoridation by setting some ground rules. Translated to English, staff noted in March 2024 that their approach to the matter is “based on technical, operational and economic considerations, from the point of view of an asset owner and operator, namely the water department; health considerations are beyond the scope of expertise of the water department’s expert.”
Water fluoridation has been practiced at the Pointe-Claire and Dorval drinking water production plants since 1955 and 1957, respectively. Montreal’s water department reports left municipal officials needing to choose between new investments in the restoration and reconstruction of infrastructure, or ending fluoridation at both plants. In the end, Montreal’s Agglomeration Council voted on November 21, 2024 to stop fluoridation, which doesn’t occur elsewhere in Quebec, apart from Saint-Georges in the Beauce region.
Notably, Laval stopped fluoridation in 2000 due to operational problems with its fluoridation equipment.
“Is it justified that only a fraction of the population of the Montreal metropolitan area has access to fluoridated water?” the water department asked in a report, noting that in the Montreal metropolitan area, just over 100,000 people receive fluoridated water, while nearly two million do not.
The space needed by fluoridation equipment has impacted Montreal. At the Dorval plant, the fluoridation facility was redone in 2008 to bring it into compliance with standards. Also, a building extension was built to house the equipment at a cost of some $400,000, which also allowed for the installation of a new reservoir with a daily tank and dosing system. The water department suggests

In the U.S., where the great fluoride debate seems ready to reach a fever pitch, the process of fluoridation has been considered so complex as to require at least one full-time fluoridation specialist for each state. Some of this is necessary to manage the risks around fluorosilicic acid systems.
In Montreal, the Dorval plant uses fluorosilicic acid, which is highly corrosive and presents potential worker safety issues in the case of a spill. Also, toxic vapours could occur through reactions with other stored products during a mishap. The water department warns that it is a particular concern due to the slope and design of the Dorval plant’s unloading area for deliveries.
“Due to the nature of the product, Dorval plant personnel are reluctant to work on the system,” states the water department report. “However, no workplace accidents or ‘near misses’ have been recorded in the last six years in connection with this process.”
The water department continues to note that indirect costs are incurred by the need to adjust the pH at the Dorval plant outlet because of the use of fluorosilicic acid.
More difficult to quantify, Montreal’s water department reports, is an increase in corrosion of equipment “on the periphery” of fluorine dosing installations. “Acid vapours can attack glass and concrete surfaces, plumbing, control devices and analyzers, requiring more frequent renewal of this equipment.”
Fluoride’s connection to corrosion, however, remains highly in question in the view of many experts, who cite a lack of direct evidence.
For the Dorval plant, a supply chain issue of fluorosilicic acid led to a total of 163 days of shutdown in 2021 – 2022, or 88% of the time for which the process was not in operation, according to the water department. The product typically needs to be transported by truck from the U.S.
The Point-Claire plant instead utilizes sodium hexafluorosilicate (Na2SiF6 in dry form) for fluoridation, often shipped from China. So, the water department
also makes the case that ending these fluoridation-based shipments will further the city’s greenhouse gas reduction goals.
In Halifax, intermittent leaks have plagued the J. Douglas Kline (Pockwock Lake) water supply plant since 2021, creating safety risks around the storage and use of fluoride, the utility announced on November 29, just a week removed from Montreal’s major fluoride decision. The plant resumed fluoridation in December, after shelving the application for more than a year.
As for the Lake Major water supply plant, Halifax Water revealed that the system hasn’t had fluoride in it since 2020, when it was nearing the end of its useful life after nearly 20 years.
“The health and safety of our employees is a top priority at Halifax Water, and we are continually evaluating and mitigating risks throughout the business,” Jeff Myrick, Halifax Water’s senior manager of communications and corporate Strategy, told ES&E Magazine. “Fluoride is considered a hazardous material even during normal operations, and the storage and handling of the product are heavily regulated. Given the safety risks presented by these operational issues, the decision was made to take it offline.”
Since 2020, plans to resume Lake Major’s fluoridation have been complicated by significant changes in lake water
chemistry due to severe rainfall events. The changes required the utility to use more alum to meet regulatory standards for safe drinking water. The need for additional alum storage created a space constraint. “While alum is needed to meet regulatory requirements for water treatment, fluoride is not, and we must determine an alternative solution before it can resume,” added Myrick.
The City of Calgary is yet another example of fluoridation’s complex logistics and high cost. As the city looked to reintroduce fluoridation after previously abandoning it, local officials saw project costs triple in 2023. They realized they needed to spend more than $28 million on an entirely new building to house fluoridation equipment at the Bearspaw Aayer Treatment Plant. This is a significant cost, when considering that emergency repairs from the disastrous summer watermain break could cost a similar amount. Supply chain issues further delayed the project into 2024, but fluoride is expected to return to Calgary in 2025 at a cost of $1 million per year.
The City of Windsor, Ontario, has been another chapter in Canada’s fluoride history. Like Calgary, the city decided to resume the additive after pre-
viously stopping it. When the border city prepared for its return to fluoridation, it ran a study in 2021 using a pipe test loop to ensure no adverse effects to the Windsor Utilities Commission corrosion control program.
Out west, the British Columbia city of Prince Rupert is yet another example of local officials facing issues with fluoridation equipment. When the injection system failed years ago, they decided to shelve fluoridation until new funding could be secured. Earlier in 2024, the city received a federal investment of more than $77 million to fix high priority watermains and address the separation of the combined sewer system. However, fluoridation remains offline.
“Now that we have achieved substantial grant funding for system upgrades, treatment is our next objective for funding,” a Prince Rupert spokesperson told ES&E Magazine, noting that fluoridation may be next on the to-do list.
Montreal has also experienced maintenance issues with its fluoride analyz-

ers, prompting them to switch manufacturers. They have also struggled with interference during readings and use a flow meter in addition to a continuous fluoride analyzer. “The dosing system must be accurate, calibrated and maintained with care, by personnel with the
required skills,” states the water department. “The required dosing range is rather narrow.”
In addition to Montreal’s annual operating costs for fluoride, city officials peg other related fluoridation equipment refurbishments at around $19 million, as these systemst reach the end of their useful life. This cost is also on top of some $100 million in modernization projects planned for the Pointe-Claire plant and $8.2 million at Dorval.
This is all coming off of a year where the City of Montreal’s water department struggled with major watermain breaks, which will mean fast-tracking millions of more dollars for repairs. Also of note is that dosing pumps were replaced in 2012, and again in 2020 in at least one of the plants.
Maja Vodanovic, Montreal’s executive committee member responsible for water, told the Agglomeration Council
that the upcoming water treatment plant refurbishments at the Pointe-Claire and Dorval drinking water treatment plants have complicated an already problematic issue with fluoride. She said that in addition to the $100,000 per year price tag to maintain fluoridation, plus the supply chain issues, it was a case of the technical challenges simply leading officials back to a more water quality focused position over a health one.
“We do not believe that our water filtration system should be used for other things than to provide the best quality water,” she told council. “That is already a very noble and a very complicated goal.”
Vodanovic added that maintaining the equipment to add fluoride has become unnecessarily costly and potentially wasteful. This is because it delivers fluoridated water that mostly ends up washing cars and people, fighting fires, or flushing toilets. Only an estimated one percent is used for personal consumption.
Then, the fluoride ends up in the rivers, says Vodanovic. From there, the city
contends that there are still too many unknown environmental and aquatic life concerns about oxidative stress, since the city’s Jean-R.-Marcotte wastewater treatment plant does not remove fluoride.
Ultimately, officials like Vodanovic justified their decision based on the water department’s technical cautions. They framed it as a matter of consistency and uniformity in approach.
“I have to say that the city of Montreal took this decision to be coherent,”
Vodanovic said in English just before the final vote passed. “We do not put fluoride in our water and we don’t intend to put fluoride in our water. We produce the water. We are competent in the matter and we want to produce the best quality water for all of Montreal.”
In its reports, the water department presents a similar position that suggests the addition of chemicals that are not necessary for drinking water but are beneficial to health, may not be its purview.
“What is clear however is that the practice of fluoridation is not essen-
tial to fulfilling the mission of the water department,” the March report states.
Health Canada maintains its support for drinking water fluoridation as a safe, universal and accessible method of preventing tooth decay. As does Dr. Mylène Drouin, Regional Director of Public Health for Montreal, who wrote to the impacted communities following the agglomeration council’s decision to note that she supports fluoridation and the evaluation of expanding fluoridation throughout the Montreal region.
Montreal’s decision reflects a growing trend of cities re-evaluating the feasibility of water fluoridation. As other municipalities face similar infrastructure challenges, the debate over fluoride’s role in public health is unlikely to end soon.

In the first major update to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) since its enactment more than 20 years ago, a key amendment passed in June 2023 focused on the Right to a Healthy Environment.
The amendments were driven by a growing recognition of environmental justice and the need to protect vulnerable communities affected by pollution and environmental degradation. While the new legislation is intended to protect Canadians from harmful and hazardous substances, it represents a major challenge for chemical distributors and other related businesses.
The changes acknowledge that all Canadians have a right to a healthy envi-

ronment. As a result, the government body will develop a framework detailing how that right will be integrated into CEPA’s administration. This framework
will be the starting point for everything that comes later.
This initiative will identify substances that may not currently be classified as toxic but could pose future risks. Substances and chemicals that have been negatively assessed will be added to the list and later restricted or prohibited from the public. It is a multi-year, integrated plan that specifies how the government will assess and manage chemical substances over time. This plan will be complete by June 2025.
For chemical distributors, these amendments present several concerns. Most obviously, new regulations always lead to greater scrutiny, which creates risk. Chemical distributors will require greater investment of time and money to achieve compliance with the new frame-
work. At the same time, there is a tremendous amount of uncertainty, since it is not yet clear which substances will ultimately be categorized as restricted or prohibited. Uncertainty will complicate business planning for many organizations. (Currently, some 30 chemical proposals have been made. Visit www.esemag.com/hazardous-materials/canada-proposes-risk-assessments-for-more-than-30-chemicals/ for more information.)
As substances are added to the watch list, or labelled as toxic, there may be increased liability risk for chemical distributors to face. For example, a product that becomes a restricted one may be a challenge to market.
The stakes are high for chemical distributors. Organizations will need to prepare their teams for this new stage as much as possible ahead of time. As there may be new and evolving risks, it is always best practice to keep on top of any updates from Environment and Climate Change Canada regarding CEPA amendments, especially concerning the Watch List and Plan of Priorities.
Implementing a compliance program will ensure adherence to existing regulations and prepare for upcoming changes. Be sure to conduct regular audits of products for potential environmental impacts.
Engaging in advocacy work is one way to support environmental protection and also shape the public discussion. Participating in the conversation with policymakers creates an opening for business leaders to have an impact on the practical realities. It may also be worth considering adopting safer alternatives to hazardous substances in order to meet regulatory trends as well as enhance market competitiveness.
Insurance can play a crucial role in transferring some of the risk associated with regulatory compliance. Consider securing appropriate coverages, such as environmental liability insurance, which protects the organization against claims arising from environmental damage caused by chemical products or operations. It can cover legal costs, cleanup expenses and damages awarded in lawsuits. Also, product liability insurance can help cover claims related to injuries
or damages caused by a chemical product that is later found to be harmful.
Look for a broker who specializes in environmental risks to be sure you are addressing all risks adequately, whether it’s risk mitigation practices or insurance protections. As each organization is different, a broker can help identify appropriate coverage options tailored to your organization’s specific needs and risk appetite.

Apilot project on a Quebec farm is now underway to determine the viability of collecting and storing rainwater for sanitary facilities, and for irrigating crops during droughts and hot weather. The farm is on Île d’Orléans, which is roughly twice the size of Manhattan and has some 7,500 residents.
The prototype underground retention unit has a 35 cubic metre capacity, that can supply bathroom water for 200 workers. This project was funded through the Sector Development Program under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, an agreement between the governments of Canada and Quebec.
According to Richard Bossinotte of Soleno Inc., the main problem was a lack of space, as much of the farm as possible is dedicated to growing and processing crops. To get the desired supply capacity of 35,000 litres, the solution was to use pipes to construct an underground retention system. This customized tank was assembled on-site using Soleno high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe.
The system used 24 metres of 1200-mm diameter Solflo® Max corrugated HDPE pipe from Soleno’s Saint-Jean-SurRichelieu plant. A 900-mm diameter chimney provides access for inspection and maintenance. Heat fusing the pieces on-site provided the required watertightness.
The corrugated HDPE pipe meets the material standards of AASHTO M294 and ASTM F2306, and complies with Canadian Standards Association, CAN/CSA B182.8. Made with recycled HDPE, this underground tank is resistant to corrosion and abrasion, is inert to chemical elements, and has a lifespan of over 100 years.
The project was sponsored by the Institute for Research and Development in Agro-Environment (IRDA) in Quebec, which works to reduce the vulnerability of infrastructures to hydric deficit and rainwater storage.
It selected Ferme Onesime Pouliot, which grows raspberries, strawberries and blueberries on some 200 acres. The family-run operation also has individual areas of agronomy, agroeconomics and agri-environmental engineering. It hires several hundred temporary foreign workers annually, who live in houses located on the property.

An investigation overseen by Associated Engineering has revealed some of the critical factors, but no definitive single cause, that led to the catastrophic break of Calgary’s Bearspaw South Feeder Main last June.
The nearly 600-page report, released to city council in late 2024, points to several factors that degraded the structural integrity of the pipe and led to several months of water restrictions for Calgarians as the city conducted emergency repairs.
the protective mortar outer layer of the pipe, high chloride levels in the soil at various locations, as well as severe damage and corrosion impacting the pipe’s prestress wires, all played roles in the pipe’s eventual failure.
“The findings from this investigation have provided valuable insights into the causes of the failure and the steps needed to prevent similar events in the future,” said Steve Wyton, Calgary’s manager of asset management planning, in a statement. “Our priority now is planning for the long-term rehabilita-

tion of the feeder main and implementing proactive measures to ensure a reliable and resilient water distribution system for Calgarians. By combining advanced monitoring technologies, contingency planning, and strategic investments, we’re taking meaningful steps to safeguard this critical infrastructure and support our city’s growing water needs.”
While a small number of wire breaks contributed to the initial failure, the report estimates that some 200 wires broke after the rupture. These are protected with a 20-mm thick layer of cement mortar, and were believed to be damaged from corrosive soil interaction. The report states that stress corrosion cracking (or hydrogen embrittlement) of the prestress wires resulted in brittle wire failures.
The report, which also utilized data from Calgary-based Pure Technologies (owned by Xylem), notes a “dramatic shift” in soil chemistry between 2014 and 2024 in the same sampling area. Whereas chloride levels were negligible a decade ago, recent samples show “significant chloride levels in the thousands of milligrams per litre”.
“High concentrations of chlorides in the soil are not always required to cause pipe distress if there is a fluctuating water table, as fluctuating water tables can deposit chlorides on to the mortar leading to higher concentrations on the mortar itself,” the report states.
The report notes that some elevated soil chloride concentrations may be related to road de-icing activities using sodium chloride. Further soil sampling is recommended in the Associated Engineering report.
Calgary officials expect to deliver an implementation plan for the feeder main by mid-2025 to strengthen system redundancy.
Overall findings at the site of the original break and the five “hot spots” showed that some of the pipes had visible cracks and peeling in their mortar (outer layer of the pipe) when they were dug up, while others had mortar that was still in good condition. Lab tests revealed that some damaged pipe sections had chlorides penetrate their mortar, but other pipes did not

show any signs of this.
The wires that help keep the pipes strong showed severe damage, including deep pits, corrosion, and many brittle wire breaks. There was evidence of two types of wire damage: hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking. Both types of damage appear to be caused by chloride penetrating the mortar or small cracks in it.
Soil testing around the feeder main showed some areas with high levels of chlorides. The cause of increased chloride levels requires further study.

Wastewater collection in cold regions requires additional consideration for the design, installation and operation of a system to ensure cost-effective, uninterrupted service. The primary concern with wastewater collection in cold climates is freezing. Whether the ground is freezing to significant depths, complicating installation and maintenance of a sewer system, or the pipes and components are freezing, leading to blockages, pipe bursts and system failures, cold climates can have an impact on the design, installation and operation of a collection system.
Pressure sewer systems were designed as an alternative for applications where gravity sewer systems were less feasible or economical. It provided a means to combat difficult terrain such as rocky, hilly, or long flat land. The primary differences
solids size in wastewater at each residence.
Pressure sewer systems utilize a network of grinder pumps to transport wastewater through small diameter pipes, directly to a sewer main, lift station or treatment system. A grinder pump is a submersible pump designed to reduce particulates in a waste stream into a fine slurry using a grinding mechanism and pump the waste at a high pressure. In order to overcome challenging terrain, pipes are installed just below the frost line and follow the natural landscape.
The frost line is the depth at which the ground freezes in the winter, which varies based on geographic location. This is a critical factor to understand when planning wastewater management systems. It is essential to install pipelines below this line to prevent freezing. Local climate data, soil composition and historical weather patterns can be used to determine the depth.

The Township of Pickle Lake lies within the remote landscapes of northern Ontario, approximately 540 kilometres north of Thunder Bay. It has been facing an ongoing challenge in sustaining in-house management of its water and wastewater operations.
Headquartered in Ottawa, Clearford Water Systems was retained to provide support in managing these critical services in a safe and reliable way. Representatives from the company met virtually with Pickle Lake’s management team to develop a comprehensive solution to secure the operation of the water and wastewater treatment systems.
Originally known for its gold mining, Pickle Lake is the most northerly community in Ontario that has year-round access by road. However, the region’s geographical remoteness has deterred some operators from committing long-term to the management of the Township’s water and wastewater systems. The struggle to retain skilled operators has resulted in high turnover rates, leading to a precarious operations situation.
Clearford’s team in Thunder Bay recognized the water challenge this small town of approximately 400 people was facing. An initial dialogue between Clearford and Town Council took place to thoroughly understand the Township’s need for certified operators and how they could work together to tailor a viable solution to provide reliable operations. Having an existing operations hub in Thunder Bay, Clearford was able to immediately extend on-site operations support to Pickle Lake.
With operator training at the forefront of this tailored plan, Clearford stationed an on-site experienced operator to temporarily guide and educate the Township’s Operators-in-Training (OITs) on industry best practices in managing the systems. During the training phase, one of the newly hired OITs opted to resign, citing the familiar reason of geographical isolation. As a result, roles quickly reversed and Clearford shifted from a support role to the primary on-site operator, now with support from the Township’s remaining OIT.
Leaning on its extended in-house operations, engineering, and compliance support staff in eastern and western Ontario, Clearford successfully developed a long-term, five-year operations plan. It outlined a solid rotational schedule to ensure consistent management of the treatment systems. This included supervision from an overall responsible operator (ORO), man-
agement of the Township’s compliance with Ontario's Drinking Water Quality Management Standard (DWQMS), heavy compliance support, and a full-time operator dedicating 40 hours weekly to daily operations, a rarity in the industry.
Alongside the challenges of water operator retention, managing a municipal system poses its own obstacles. Pickle Lake’s project marked Clearford’s first municipal water system contract. Navigating these uncharted waters required a collaborative effort and taking a closer look into operator experience with municipal treatment plants.
Speed and precision were essential when addressing the imminent water and wastewater challenges in Pickle Lake. Strong levels of interdepartmental communication helped
streamline the process of task delegation among Clearford’s specialized teams.
The compliance team reached out to its established network at the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, which accelerated Clearford’s understanding of what needed to be accomplished to operate the Pickle Lake systems. This included acquiring registrations, obtaining proper Environmental Compliance Approvals, fulfilling DWQMS requirements, and other various essential tasks.
What began as a provisional solution quickly evolved into a sustained partnership between Clearford and Pickle Lake. The company’s presence not only solidified uninterrupted management of the water and wastewater systems, it also secured the Township’s operations for the coming years.
This project builds on Clearford’s involvement with remote operations,
which started in 2021 with a project situated in the Yukon. Since then, Clearford has continued to expand its support for Northern communities and remote mining sites to discuss their water-related objectives and reliable solutions.

In North America, one of the most common ways to de-ice the roads is by using snow salts and chemicals. They help lower the freezing point of water, thereby preventing ice formation and making it easier to remove snow and ice from the road surfaces.
Currently available materials and technologies can’t eliminate the use of snow salts and de-icing chemicals, but their usage can be reduced with proper management. According to the annual overview of data reported by Environment and Climate Change Canada for the environmental management of road salts between 2019 – 2022, it was observed that there was a gradual decline in the usage of road salts, abrasives and de-icing liquids, largely because of proper storage of materials and optimization of their usage. About five million tonnes of road salts are used in Canada each year.
The chloride ions from snow salts eventually find their way into waterways, either by direct runoff into storm sewers, rivers, and waterbodies, or by moving through the soil into the groundwater. Chloride ions disrupt ecosystems and adversely affect species sensitive to variations in salinity. In surface water, snow salts can harm freshwater plants, fish and other organisms that are not adapted to living in saline waters.
Snow salts spread on the driveways and sidewalks in the Greater Toronto Area during the wintertime have been reported as a threat to aquatic life in the city’s rivers during the warmer months. Furthermore, the introduction of high salt concentration into soil can lead to degradation of structure, fertility and nutrient imbalance which ultimately threatens vegetation, especially those plants situated along roadsides. In addition, the salty snow can lure wildlife like

deer and moose to the roadways, thereby increasing the likelihood of vehicle accidents while posing a toxicity risk to certain animals that may ingest it.
Heavy use of road salt can cause potholes and cracks in the road, and in some cases, salt can compromise the structural integrity of concrete as it soaks in. In areas where railroad crossings are common on the roadway, salt can corrode train tracks as well.
Snow salt can also infiltrate surface and groundwater and can contaminate drinking water reservoirs and wells by increasing sodium and chloride levels. High sodium levels in drinking water affect people with high blood pressure.
Over time, the cumulative effects of salt pollution may lead to a decline in biodiversity as sensitive species struggle to adapt to changing conditions. Increased chloride concentrations in freshwater can be toxic and may lead to substantial changes such as increased lethality, altered food webs, and biotic homogenization where only robust species survive.
Not only do chlorides take a longer time to break down further, they are
toxic to aquatic life such as fish, amphibians, invertebrates, and insects. For amphibian species who respire through their skin, chlorides can interfere with their ability to breathe properly.
Fish exposed to chlorides can show signs of hypoxia, gill tissue necrosis and neurologic signs, including trouble swimming, incorrect body positioning and sudden death. Also, chlorides appear to decrease the biodiversity of aquatic animals, zooplanktons and plants but favour the growth of phytoplankton, especially cyanobacteria.
Zooplankton are the key connectors of the aquatic food web that links microscopic producers to fish. Their loss triggers cascading effects that can affect fish populations, while benefiting algae at the base of the food web, which can lead to eutrophication.
One of the key findings of a five-year study by Environment Canada highlighted that the loss of plants near salted roadways can affect wildlife and ultimately the whole ecosystem.
Alternatives to snow salts and de-icing chemicals include sand, gravel,
wood chips, and sawdust. These materials don’t help melt ice and snow, but they can provide some traction on the slippery surfaces, thus enhancing road safety without contributing to environmental pollution.
In Switzerland, a road salt alternative technology has been developed and effectively deployed for the last eight years. It utilizes an engineered wood chip, specially coated with a pH-neutral formulation of which magnesium chloride is the active ingredient. The coating sets the chip into the ice or snow which then re-freezes to lock the chip in place. The result is a surface with traction and grip.
Other eco-friendly alternatives are liquid de-icers composed of calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) and/or sodium or potassium acetate or formate. These offer a lower environmental impact compared to traditional salts and they are proven to be effective at preventing ice formation. CMA is less corrosive and toxic for plants and animals, but it may cause oxygen depletion in lakes. Potassium formate is biodegradable and can potentially help diminish the negative impacts of road winter de-icing on groundwater without jeopardizing traffic safety.
The third alternative is grit blends. Mixing traditional salt in smaller amounts with other materials such as agricultural byproducts can reduce the overall quantity of salt needed, while still
The
achieving the desired safety outcomes. Likewise, other secondary options to choose from are de-sugared beet molasses that is used as a de-icing product for roads and bridges in parts of Canada.
De-icing the roads with pickles, beets, and cheese has also been proposed as unorthodox, but environmentally-friendly options.
Potato juice, marketed as Magic Salt, is a waste byproduct of vodka and rum distillation. It has been used as a de-icing agent in the mountain roads of Ten-
nessee. It is mixed with traditional salt brine and is far less corrosive to vehicles than salt alone.
Another option is heated pavement systems, which harness solar energy to melt snow and ice without the use of chemical de-icers.

With the Great Lakes right at its doorstep and a web of rivers and streams crisscrossing its landscapes, it’s easy to believe that Ontario has all the water it needs. However, many areas in the province face challenges in managing water sustainably.
Decentralized greywater recycling can conserve water, reduce the strain on municipal infrastructure, and fit seamlessly into the growing green building movement. With Ontario’s Housing-Enabling Water Systems Fund investing $970 million in 54 water infrastructure projects, now is the perfect time for developers to look at this technology. These investments are set to enable the construction of over 500,000 new homes, and smart water management will be key in supporting this massive expansion.
Hydraloop’s greywater recycling systems utilize a proprietary, filterless technology to treat wastewater from showers, baths, and, optionally, washing machines, as well as condensation from HVAC systems. The treatment process employs six sustainable methods: sedimentation, flotation, dissolved air flotation, foam fractionation, an aerobic bioreactor, and UV disinfection.
This multi-stage approach effectively removes contaminants, producing clean, non-potable water suitable for toilet flushing, laundry, garden irrigation, and pool top-ups. By integrating these systems, buildings can reduce water consumption by 25 – 45%, contributing to significant utility savings and promoting sustainable water management. Additionally, Hydraloop devices are IoT-enabled, allowing for real-time monitoring and control to ensure optimal performance and user convenience.
Not only does this drastically reduce
the demand on freshwater sources, but it also allows developers to build more water-efficient homes and buildings, future-proofed against increasing regulations around water conservation.
One of the most promising examples of this is an ongoing pilot project with the Region of Waterloo and Ontario developer, Activa. This collaboration is exploring how integrating Hydraloop systems into residential homes can help recycle up to 45% of household water.
Other municipalities across Ontario are beginning to show interest in creating similar rebate programs, recognizing the mutual benefits for both builders and local water management.
Ontario’s developers have an enormous opportunity to lead the charge toward sustainable housing. Hydraloop offers flexible solutions for a variety of residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. The H300 can manage the greywater recycling needs of a household, while the H600 can be scaled up to accommodate multi-unit buildings. For large-scale developments, the Cascade system provides an integrated solution, supporting multi-residential, commercial and hospitality applications.
Hydraloop systems can save up to 45% of water, depending on the application, all while reducing a building’s carbon footprint and operational costs. Transporting water requires massive amounts of energy, therefore reducing the need for both freshwater and wastewater through greywater recycling, will result in significant energy savings. These systems not only conserve water but they also reduce the amount of wastewater discharged.
This technology can be used in a wide range of applications, including residential, commercial, hotels, offices, and sports facilities.
With Ontario’s Housing-Enabling Water Systems Fund and the growing interest in greywater recycling across municipalities, there has never been a better time to act.

Governments around the world are using regulation to reduce the risk of human exposure to the harmful effects of PFAS. By setting limits on the permissible levels of these compounds in drinking water, regulators are forcing water suppliers to undertake advanced treatment to ensure compliance.
To proactively address the threat of PFAS in drinking water, many utilities are upgrading their systems using three primary technologies: activated carbon (AC), ion exchange resin (IER) and reverse osmosis (RO). These technologies can be used independently or collaboratively to mitigate PFAS. Depending on water quality, some of these treatment technologies (mainly AC and RO) can be used to treat additional contaminants as well, increasing their value and cost-effectiveness in water treatment.
Granular activated carbon (GAC) is widely used in water treatment applications for trace contaminant removal and is effective for mitigating long-chain PFAS to non-detectable levels. It’s a highly porous adsorbent that starts with a carbon-rich raw material such as coal, coconut shell, or wood.
These materials are converted into char using high heat in an oxygen-starved environment in a process known as pyrolysis. The char is then “activated” with steam to create a highly porous structure. Activated carbon’s range of pore sizes (micropores, mesopores and macropores) impart unique transport and adsorptive characteristics.
This allows for the reduction of organic pollutants by firmly attracting them to the internal surface created by these pores. Once activated, the final product is dried, crushed and sieved into spe-
Using activated carbon followed by ion exchange resin can be a robust approach for treating PFAS.
cific-sized granules or powders that are matched to various applications. When activated carbon is used in vessels, water is percolated through the bed to allow for adsorption.
Alternatively, when the activated carbon is applied as a powder, it is more analogous to a chemical dosage. The powder is dosed into the system, mixed with the water, separated, and discarded after the desired contact time.
Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is the pulverized version of GAC and can be used without requiring the installation of pressure vessels or gravity contactors. Because of its smaller particle size, PAC has faster adsorption kinetics than GAC. The smaller particle diameter decreases the diffusion path length by 10 to 100 times when compared to GAC.
PAC is dosed directly into the water as needed to combat contamination spikes, then removed with physical filtration methods such as coagulation/flocculation and sedimentation. This bypasses the capital expenditure and lengthy design/instal-
lation process required for GAC pressure vessels, making PAC an attractive, adaptive solution with a low barrier to entry.
Many utilities already use PAC for other purposes, such as taste and odour control. So using it for PFAS treatment may require just a simple dosing adjustment or transition to a higher performance grade. PAC can allow drinking water facilities to start treating for longchain PFAS right away, while they consider more permanent, long-term treatment strategies.
However, GAC has some advantages over PAC when it comes to PFAS reduction and drinking water treatment in general. Because GAC is applied in a flow-through system, and sometimes in lead-lag systems, a higher utilization of the available capacity on the GAC is possible. This leads to lower carbon usage per treated volume.
Secondly, GAC can be reactivated. The reactivation process takes the spent media and burns off (and in many cases destroys) adsorbed contaminants,
thereby refreshing the life of the media. A small portion of GAC is lost in the process. Fresh GAC (also known as make-up carbon) can then be supplied to fill in the lost portion of media. Generally, this requires only 10 – 30% make-up, saving 70 – 90% of the initial media.
When it comes to activated carbon, quality matters. Carbon characteristics can vary significantly among vendors, and the difference in quality can have remarkable implications for the buyer.
High-quality carbon performs more reliably across batches, allows for lower dosages, and lasts longer before needing replacement or reactivation. Lower quality, poorer performing carbon may appear cost-effective on a dollars-per-kilogram basis but can easily end up costing a plant more money. Increased consumption of lower quality carbon leads to increased costs such as more labour, more frequent deliveries/increased site traffic, a larger storage footprint, and greater disposal and/or reactivation costs.
A high-quality carbon has more adsorption capacity and longer life because of a well-balanced pore size distribution that can better transport and capture contaminants. Special care is taken when manufacturing certain brands of GAC, like Jacobi’s AquaSorb™ line, to ensure that it is safe and suitable for use in water treatment.
This special care can include sourcing of high purity raw materials or pre-treatment, such as acid washing, to limit the introduction of unwanted extractable content into the water. Outside of inadequate porosity, improper sourcing or insufficient washing can cause low-quality carbon to contain more impurities like heavy metals, which can pass into the treated drinking water.
To ensure limited levels of extractables are leached into the drinking water from low-quality carbon, excessive backwashing of the media during commissioning could be required. Depending on extractable constituents, all backwash water could require specialized disposal.
With specific regard to PAC, pore distribution is a key performance aspect. Due to the relatively short contact time of the PAC with the treatment water, the adsorption kinetics and capacity must be tuned
to the contaminants in the source water. This is most properly explored through jar testing. Jar testing can be done to compare dosage and contact time requirements for different carbon grades, allowing for fine tuning of the carbon to your process. This exercise can help a utility save money by generating a price vs performance metric for each carbon.
Ion exchange resin (IER) is another leading filtration technology commonly used in PFAS treatment. IER beads are tiny, polymeric, highly porous beads. For PFAS removal, specialized functionality is applied to the media to provide selectivity for trace amounts. The positively charged functionality attracts the continued overleaf…
negatively charged functional groups of the PFAS compounds, pulling them out of the solution. IER reduces both shortand long-chain PFAS effectively, while utilizing a shorter contact time than activated carbon.
When identifying whether activated carbon or ion exchange is the right choice for a facility, the first step must be to understand the specific water quality to be treated. In the water quality analysis, other substances that can interfere with PFAS removal must be identified as well as PFAS compounds that must be targeted.
For ion exchange, these other substances would be sulfate, chloride/chlorine, nitrate and TOC. For activated carbon, these compounds would include organics (TOC, DOC, BOD). If possible, speciation of these compounds in the influent stream is useful for the selection of the appropriate media.
High molecular weight components will be more readily adsorbable onto the carbon’s surface and push off any pre-

viously adsorbed PFAS, while blocking adsorption sites for additional PFAS adsorption. If the analysis of PFAS compounds indicates mainly long-chain and sulfonated PFAS species, carbon may be a more viable option.
If the PFAS contamination is shortchain and tending towards carboxylic acid functionality, ion exchange should be considered a stronger performer. Of
course, rapid small scale column testing or pilot scale testing, would better highlight true performance and operational differences between the media types.
Using activated carbon followed by ion exchange resin can be a robust approach for treating PFAS. Activated carbon treatment in front of a PFAS-specific ion exchange media will extend the life of the ion exchange resin. It can protect the resin from fouling prematurely and the IER can protect the system from early short-chain PFAS breakthrough.
As Canada’s PFAS regulations turn greater attention to drinking water, municipal water treatment operations should start planning now to explore treatment technologies that fit their needs and budgets.

The rising demand for high-efficiency grit removal systems is driven by the need to protect plant infrastructure. This trend is particularly noticeable with the increasing adoption of technologies such as membrane bioreactors (MBRs), specialized pumping equipment, and fine bubble diffusers.
Effectively removing ultra-fine grit can yield a substantial return on investment by preventing line blockages, as well as deposition in downstream channels, process basins, while reducing the fouling of diffusers and membranes. This, in turn, extends the lifespan of downstream equipment, significantly lowers maintenance costs, and enhances overall operational efficiency.
Ultra-fine grit can also present significant challenges to aeration systems. Accumulated grit disrupts oxygen circulation, decreases the efficiency of biological treatment, and increases compliance costs associated with effluent regulations. This buildup limits the volume necessary for optimal retention times in biological treatment and sludge digestion.
The necessity to tackle ultra-fine grit differs by region and season. Geographic location and environmental factors significantly affect the grit size distribution encountered by wastewater treatment facilities. Coastal regions and agricultural areas face elevated levels of ultrafine particulate matter, and seasonal factors such as winter road salt and sanding also influence particle size distribution.
As the diameter of grit decreases, the challenge of removal increases. Currently, there are two approaches to ultrafine grit removal available in the market, each employing a distinct method.
Around 15 years ago, the stacked tray system was developed, raising expectations for the removal of ultra-fine grit through gravity-based separation. This
The INVORSOR combines hydraulic forces vortex to remove large, medium and fine parties with an upper chamber with inclined plates to achieve 95% grit removal down to 75 microns, at flows up to 50 MGD.
method utilizes a series of vertically-mounted trays to expand the surface area in a square settling tank, allowing grit particles to settle gradually from wastewater.
The design features a notable head loss throughout the system, primarily due to the inlet distributor, which evenly disperses the incoming flow across the multiple trays (up to 300 mm). Typically, a continuously operating remote pump is used to remove the grit that accumulates at the bottom of the tank.
While high removal efficiencies are touted for particles as small as 75 microns, efficiencies are typically derated down to 85% during peak flow conditions in many of the installations. At such peak flow rates, manufacturers of stacked-tray systems will often only guarantee performance specifications for the removal of particles as small as 212 microns.
Stacked-tray systems are sized and designed based on surface area and particle settling rates, which determine the number of trays and tank depth required. Increased flow demands more
surface area to sustain a surface overflow rate (SOR) that effectively removes fine and ultra-fine grit.
Practical limitations on available surface area restrict system capacity. The largest stacked tray systems can accommodate a maximum of approximately 50 million litres per day (MLD) for 75-micron removal. To manage larger flows, multiple systems are necessary: 75 MLD requires two systems, while 190 MLD requires four systems. This not only increases the footprint significantly, but also necessitates the duplication of ancillary equipment, such as pumps and grit washing and dewatering systems.
As the market began to recognize the importance of ultra-fine grit removal while grappling with the capacity limitations of stacked tray systems, engineers at Smith & Loveless Inc. (S&L) developed a scalable system that could provide consistent and efficient removal of
ultra-fine grit across all flow rates, without any performance degradation at low, average, or peak flows.
They developed the PISTA® INVORSOR® system, which can achieve 95% grit removal at 75 microns across all flow conditions, from low to peak flows, accommodating flow up to 190 MLD per chamber.
It builds on the features of S&L’s PISTA® grit removal system, which can capture 95% of particles down to 105 microns.
Forced hydraulic systems aren’t settling devices like most other grit sys-
The INVORSOR features an additional stage to remove ultra-fine particles by augmenting the hydraulic forced vortex with integrated inclined parallel plates. Flow transitions from the hydraulic vortex to an upper hopper, optimized through computational fluid dynamics to effectively remove particles as small as 75 microns. Inclined plates in the upper chamber disrupt the vortex, facilitating a sedimentation process under quiescent conditions.
By augmenting the hydraulic forced vortex with the upper chamber of the inclined parallel plates, the INVOR-
enables the automatic maintenance of optimal velocity to consistent high-efficiency grit removal across a range of conditions, from minimal flow to peak flow.
Maintaining the optimal velocity is essential for effective grit removal. If the flow rate falls below this threshold, grit will settle excessively, leading to accumulation in the approaching channel (i.e., grit trapped prior to the grit chamber).
No additional downstream control devices are required to keep the velocity in the preferred range during both peak flow and minimum flow, as the system possesses up to 10:1 turndown.

The fees associated with soil volume management have seen an increase from 2024 to 2025 across various categories, according to new data released by Ontario’s Resource Productivity & Recovery Authority (RPRA).
Overall, the fee structure for soil volume management has increased significantly, particularly in the variable fee categories, reflecting a consistent trend of approximately 30% increases across most volume brackets. The flat fees also experienced notable hikes, ensuring that pricing is adjusted to accommodate changes in service costs and market conditions, according to RPRA.
RPRA consulted on the proposed fees from September 27 to November 12, 2024. The regulator hosted five webinars that provided overviews of the fee proposals and provided an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and make comments on the proposal.
The 2025 program fee rates took effect on January 1, 2025.
For soil reuse sites, fee rates are increasing by an average of 5% due to decreases for predicted volumes and filings for 2025.
In RPRA’s consultation report, it states that three main fac-
tors impact year-over-year rate increases: volume estimates, program cost allocations, and the impact of the application of prior year program surpluses and deficits.
“RPRA will continue to strive for predictability in fee rates; however, some annual variability is unavoidable,” the regulator stated in the consultation report.
While fees are up for 2025, they don’t match the substantial increases seen in 2024, when for instance the largest generators of excess soils (volumes greater than 500,000 m³) saw fees jump by 400% from $30,000 to $150,000.

One of the largest water treatment facilities in the U.S. for the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is now under construction in the City of Woodbury, Minnesota.
Late last year, the city hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for a new water treatment plant that could approach US$350 million. The plant and associated pipeline infrastructure will treat up to 21,133 cubic metres of water for PFAS removal. Jacobs provided design services for the project with AE2S Engineering and is now delivering the construction management services.
The City of Woodbury is a community located in the southeast Minneapolis / St. Paul Metropolitan Area (Twin Cities) and home to approximately 85,000 people.
PFAS were first detected in drinking water supplies in the eastern Twin Cities area in 2004, with subsequent research helping to identify the source and level of contamination. Most of the contamination was traced to dump sites or landfills that had been used by 3M manufacturing facilities to dispose of PFAS-laden wastes, according to Jacobs.
The State of Minnesota recently settled a lawsuit with 3M requiring financial support for residents and municipalities impacted by the PFAS contamination plume, including the City of Woodbury and its contaminated groundwater supply.
In response, the city is pursuing a long-term water treatment solution to remove PFAS contaminants from its drinking water and restore production capacity in a fast-growing area. Average water samples taken at all the city’s wells exceed the Minnesota Department of Health’s 2024 Health-Based Values for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), while all but three wells exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Maximum Contaminant Levels for PFOA.
Woodbury currently treats six wells through a temporary water treatment plant and has three additional wellhead treatment facilities. All wells that have received Minnesota Department of Health issued health advisories are being treated.
The main project component is the construction of the new water treatment plant for PFAS removal and 27 kilometres of new raw and distribution system piping.
Overall project cost will approach US$300 – $350 million, paid for in large part by the Minnesota State Settlement with 3M. The plant is designed to be expanded to a future treatment capacity of 181,700 cubic metres per day and provide flexibility for conversion to ion exchange or alternative absorptive media to adapt to changing regulations and treatment technologies.

The Alberta Town of High Level will begin construction later this year on a $6.6 million Magnetic Ion Exchange (MIEX) process upgrade to its water treatment facility. Local officials passed a resolution to move forward with the new pretreatment process at a council meeting in January. They say the MIEX upgrade could save the community hundreds of thousands of dollars in water treatment costs.
“The Town of High Level has some of the highest water treatment costs in the province,” High Level Mayor Crystal McAteer said in a statement. “This is an important project that will improve the quality of life for our community as well as for our water users, and at the same time will save us money further into the process on carbon and chemical costs.”
A pilot study was completed at the water treatment plant in 2023 in coordination with Associated Engineering. The study found that the MIEX process led to reduced coagulant use, decreased organics loading on treatment filters, and reduced disinfectant byproducts.
Local officials described the MIEX process as a pre-treatment process “similar to a water softener”, except its purpose is to remove naturally occurring organic carbons, colour, sulphates, and bromide from the water before it enters
the primary water treatment process. The pretreatment process improves the final disinfection and lowers activated carbon demand, while reducing overall operational costs, according to the municipality.
The MIEX system had its first largescale implementation in Australia in 2002. It is now a standard pretreatment practice in more than 70 water treatment plants in 12 countries, including the U.S. and Canada.
Conklin, a hamlet in northern Alberta, has also found recent success using MIEX for pretreatment.
Construction of the MIEX project in High Level will begin in 2025, with the renovation of the water treatment plant to accommodate the new system. Project completion and commissioning is expected in the spring of 2026.

After more than 30 years of water advisories, Zhiibaahaasing First Nation, located on Manitoulin Island in Ontario, is breaking ground for the construction of a new water treatment plant and celebrating major upgrades to its water distribution system.
Indigenous Services Canada supported the projects with an investment of nearly $50 million.
The community has relied on a temporary package water treatment plant over the last five years. Site Water Manager and operator, Jonathan Riberdy, earned the 2021 National First Nations Water Leadership Award for his role in making the system operational.
Riberdy said he worked alongside Indigenous Services Canada, First Nations Engineering Services Ltd. and BI Pure Water to get a temporary water treatment plant for Zhiibaahaasing in 2020. The plan, he explained, was to have a shipping container built as a portable package plant to ensure the community had water. A distribution line was placed in the

ground to connect the package plant to the low lift station that pulls water from Lake Huron.
“I’m excited we are finally here,” Riberdy said at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new water treatment plant. “We worked hard together to get to this point and now we can actually move forward to get clean water to our community. This has been many years in the making.”
Zhiibaahaasing First Nation Band Manager, BobbiSue Kells-Riberdy, said the next two years will require a lot of hard work to get the new facility operational, but the community of about 200 residents is up to the task.
“Chief Irene Kells and her Councils over the years have been advocating for clean drinking water for the last 33 years,” said Kells-Riberdy. “There are no clear words to express the emotions and joy. To know our children will be able to have clean water to bathe in and to drink. To know it will be safe.”
Indigenous Services Canada is investing $24.9 million for the water treatment plant and an additional $24.7 million for the distribution system upgrades.

Metro Vancouver officials say that construction is ramping up on the site of the beleaguered North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant, following confirmation of new contract details with PCL Construction.
Within the contract with PCL, Metro Vancouver expects that about half of the work to complete the project will be competitively bid among subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers. The latest estimated total contract price of $1.95 billion is within the approved budget for the program.
PCL was hired in 2022 for early construction works on the North Shore plant under a competitive bidding process, with the option to negotiate a contract for completing the full project. Now, work is ramping up as PCL expands its construction program and continues to mobilize staff, equipment, and materials to the site, according to local officials.
The project’s full anticipated price tag remains at $3.86 billion.
In the fall of 2024, Metro Vancouver officials initiated an independent audit of ballooning costs around the development of the plant and hired a former judge to lead the process.
Metro Vancouver officials remain embroiled in a lawsuit with original Spain-based contractor Acciona Wastewater Solutions LP, who in turn, is suing the region.
The new North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant will serve over 300,000 residents and replace the existing Lions
Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant, one of the last plants on the west coast of Canada and the U.S. that provides only primary-level wastewater treatment.

Apublic-private partnership in the City of Miami is transforming a 16-km-long strip of contaminated land beneath the city’s elevated mass transit system into a multi-modal path and green infrastructure project that features bioswales, rain gardens, stormwater ponds, and micro-forests to protect a storm-prone urban area.
Known as The Underline, the projected $150-million project is a partner-
ship between the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW), the Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces (PROS) Department, Friends of the Underline, the City of Miami, and the City of Coral Gables.
Set to be complete in 2026, the stretch
of land was formerly host to a railroad before it became the Miami Metrorail. That history meant developers faced arsenic contamination in the soil that needed to be addressed through each stage of the multi-year project.
The Underline is expected to utilize a Japanese afforestation method called Miyawaki, which can create a diverse forest ecosystem quickly by planting some 24,000 seedlings that can grow 10 times faster than the average urban forest. When the project is done, the path’s various green infrastructure elements will feature more than 500,000 native plants and trees.
Stormwater ponds along the path will naturally guide, absorb, and allow stormwater from the Metrorail and nearby areas to percolate back into the aquifer. “The rain gardens are natural flood mitigation systems, temporarily collecting stormwater in rocky shallow areas and utilizing multiple sediment layers to filter out pollutants,” states The Underline’s website. “The depressed rock gardens manage stormwater and filter it as it seeps into the aquifer. Additional features include insect hotels, bird houses, and elevated pathways to encourage the exploration of these innovative systems.”
The project has been under construction for several years and opened its first phase to the public in 2021. The Underline is being built in three phases.

After four years, the federal government has announced the composition of the newly established Infrastructure Council of Canada, an initiative that aims to lead a national infrastructure assessment and has been a longstanding advocacy priority for the Canadian Construction Association (CCA).
CCA members took to Parliament Hill to engage with federal MPs on the need for a comprehensive, long-term infrastructure plan. They say the new announcement marks a significant step forward, but concerns remain about the council’s scope and representation.
The Infrastructure Council of Canada is set to prioritize infrastructure projects that address housing needs, including clean water and wastewater systems, public transit, active transportation, and waste management. However, the CCA argues that this focus, while promising, does not fully address the broader infrastructure challenges facing the country.
Transportation and trade facilitation projects, essential for economic growth and community connectivity, remain outside the council’s current mandate.
One major concern highlighted by the CCA is the lack of representation from the construction and finance industries on the council. The association has repeatedly called on the Minister of Housing, Infra-
structure, and Communities to appoint an independent construction industry representative. Without such voices, CCA warns that critical challenges and opportunities in building resilient and effective infrastructure may be overlooked.
The CCA has vowed to closely monitor the development and progress of the Infrastructure Council and has expressed its commitment to continued consultations with both the government and the broader industry.
The minister has announced that the Canadian Infrastructure Council will be composed of 11 experts in relevant infrastructure sectors across the country. Each member will serve on the Council on a part-time basis until March 31, 2027. The council will engage key partners and stakeholders from industry, provincial, territorial, municipal, and Indigenous governments to seek their knowledge and expertise.

Victoria Gold Corp. has been issued an enforcement directive to develop two critical water management plans for its Eagle Gold Mine site, as the company grapples with ongoing water contamination issues following a major heap leach failure last year.
The order issued by a Yukon Energy Mines and Resources enforcement officer required Victoria Gold to submit a groundwater interception plan to identify all groundwater interception infrastructure and provide detailed information about the volume and quality of water being intercepted.
A second plan, due by April 15, 2025, must address sur-
face and groundwater management during the spring melt to ensure adequate storage capacity for snow runoff and to prevent the uncontrolled release of untreated water. Some 500 million litres of water from snow and ice could melt in the spring, which would further overwhelm the system.
Victoria Gold has been under the management of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) since entering receivership last August. It still faces significant challenges after approximately 4 million tonnes of cyanide-treated ore slid from the heap leach pad, with about half escaping containment. Contaminated water storage has since become a pressing issue.
Late last year, a court approved amendments to the receivership order for Victoria Gold Corp. to allow the next phase of remediation work at the Eagle Gold Mine. This includes a $55 million increase to the borrowing limit available to the receiver, from $50 million to $105 million, to fund remediation work until March 31, 2025.
According to Yukon officials, results from samples collected up to November of last year show that levels of cobalt and cyanide continue to increase in Haggart Creek, while mercury levels have stabilized.
As of early November 2024, PwC reported that the mine site was holding approximately 508 million litres of cyanide-contaminated water in storage ponds. An additional 250 million litres are being recirculated onto the heap leach facility, with more stored in the in-heap pond.
This volume continues to grow by an estimated 2 million litres per day due to regular inflows, and crews are intercepting an additional 3 million litres of groundwater daily, further straining capacity.
PwC successfuly applied for an emergency water license amendment to temporarily discharge water that is “nonacutely toxic” but exceeds current contaminant thresholds. The company is also working to upgrade the site’s water treatment plant to handle cyanide-contaminated water, though these upgrades are still in progress.
This is the fourth directive issued to Victoria Gold since the heap leach failure, underscoring the severity of the environmental and operational challenges at the site.

Researchers from the University of Waterloo (UWaterloo) added DNA to several species of bacteria found in wastewater, allowing them to biodegrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a persistent microplastic found in carpet, clothing and food containers that has been linked to health problems.
The researchers use a natural process they refer to as “bacterial sex”, where bacteria share genetic material with each other when multiplying. It enables the introduction of a new trait into the target bacteria, giving them the ability to break down microplastics.
“Think of these bacteria that already exist in water systems to clean up microplastics as biorobots that can be programmed to get the job done,” said Dr. Marc Aucoin, a professor in UWaterloo’s Department of Chemical Engineering. “Microplastics in water also enhance the spread of antibiotic resistance, so this breakthrough could also address that concern.”
PET plastics take hundreds of years to degrade in the environment. Over time, they break down into microplastics that enter the food chain. Chemicals in these plastics are associated with insulin resistance, cancer and decreased reproductive health, according to the researchers.
Dr. Brian Ingalls, a professor in UWaterloo’s Department of Applied Mathematics, said that the team intends to use modelling to understand how well the bacteria transfer the new genetic information under different environmental conditions.
“The long-term vision is to break down microplastics in wastewater treat-

ment plants at scale,” he said.
Aaron Yip, a PhD candidate in UWaterloo’s Department of Chemical Engineering, said that microplastic degradation in wastewater treatment plants is a safer application to target, but the researchers also hope to find ways to clean up plastic waste accumulating in bodies of water.
“Many of these facilities are already designed to neutralize bacteria in wastewater, which would kill any engineered bacteria prior to discharging water back
into the environment,” noted Yip. He added that the team will later assess the risks of using engineered, plastic-eating bacteria in the natural environment.
The study, Degradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics by wastewater bacteria engineered via conjugation, appears in the journal Microbial Biotechnology

Water quality in many lakes across Canada is declining at an alarming rate.
Observable indicators of this deterioration include the emergence of symptoms such as invasive weeds, algae blooms, unpleasant odours and fish kills.
When a crisis occurs, specialists are called in to evaluate and oversee the situation. Diagnostic tests are performed to confirm the presence of a harmful algae bloom (HAB) and the application of chemicals like biocides is advised. While the notion of quickly eradicating algae to improve the lake’s appearance is enticing, this can lead to a detrimental cycle that accelerates deterioration of the lake’s ecosystem.
Eliminating algae results in the release of toxins, leading to the destruction of more beneficial organisms and favouring the proliferation and dominance of the harmful organisms in the lake. Over time, continued application of algaecides causes lake algae blooms to worsen.
Experts are urging a different approach and a more permanent solution.
Wayne Carmichael, PhD, a retired professor and prominent expert in aquatic toxicology believes the solution is a multifaceted approach that addresses the root causes of water quality degradation. Ultimately, this approach can improve water quality, enhance recreational opportunities, and preserve aquatic ecosystems for future generations.
The decline in lake health is driven by several interconnected factors, described in general as eutrophication. This is the process that occurs when water bodies become overly enriched with nutrients, resulting in sediment nutrient accumulation. These nutrients are recycled back into the water, fueling further algae growth and creating a feedback loop that perpetuates the cycle of degradation.
A tipping point is eventually reached when sediment nutrient recycling is suf-
ficient to sustain eutrophic conditions and facilitate a switch to cyanobacteria dominance.
According to Carmichael, the cause of eutrophication is well established. While some levels of nutrients are natural, human activities such as agriculture and urban runoff have accelerated eutrophication to dangerous levels, overwhelming nature’s capacity to clear them out and maintain balance. Whether caused by climate change or not, the water temperature of lakes is increasing, further fueling eutrophication.
According to Carmichael, effective restoration of lake and water reservoir health begins with monitoring key metrics that go beyond confirming the poor condition of the lake. These metrics should assess the entire ecosystem and provide indicators that can be used to evaluate sustained improvement. “We have done a good job of monitoring, but now we need to get more serious about remediation and prevention,” says Carmichael.
This does not include simply applying air, flocculating/binding agents or algaecides as a quick fix. Treating the symptoms in this way often causes a rebound effect, where the underlying issues become more severe over time. “Chemical and physical methods either dampen, or shorten the effects of a bloom, but do not prevent them.” says Carmichael.
Biocides, whether herbicides or algaecides, only make the problem worse in most cases. Algaecides are more effective against beneficial algae than cyanobacteria, and cyanobacteria are better able to recover after each application. By killing algae and cyanobacteria cells, toxins are also released, and the dead cells sink to the bottom and compound nutrient recycling when they decompose.
As algae die and decompose, oxygen is consumed in the water, leading to hypoxic conditions, “dead zones,” where aquatic life cannot survive. Hypoxia is a major driver of fish kills and the loss of biodiversity in lakes. “In most cases, the nutrients become part of the sediment, which becomes part of the permanent
morphology of the lake,” says Carmichael.
An important first step is to identify methods that naturally recycle nutrient rich sediments, without just physically removing and dumping them. They are needed in the lake ecosystem for organisms to grow, says Carmichael. He adds that “most of the nutrients are organic and can be recycled back through the food web to benefit the natural cycle of the lake — not the HAB cycle of the lake.”
Numerous studies have demonstrated that high, stable oxygen levels reduce nutrients and minerals in the water column and can keep phosphorus locked into the organic sediments.
Although there are many different solutions that can be used to help revive a lake ecosystem, one involves utilizing Rapid Acting Dissolved Oxygen Restoration (RADOR) technology from CleanFlo International. By increasing dissolved oxygen levels throughout the water column, the RADOR system initiates a sequence of events that bio-dredge mucky sediment, control aquatic weeds, improve
water quality, and reduce organic muck, nutrients, odour, harmful gases, and coliform bacteria. This helps to restore the nutrient clearing capacity of the food web by improving fish growth and health.
The RADOR system uses compressors of various sizes based on the lake and application, along with self-sinking airline and diffusers that maintain full oxygenation from the bottom to the surface of the water.
Another important step in restoring balance to a lake is bioaugmentation, which involves the use of enzymes to
break down organic muck, like a compost pile. Boosted by natural enzymes, aerobic bacteria and microorganisms consume the organic muck and nutrients, while aquatic insects feed on the bacteria, increasing the natural food source for fish.
Critical micronutrients can also be introduced to stimulate the growth of organisms that form the foundation of a productive food web. This enables balance to be restored at the level of phytoplankton, so that beneficial algae can out-compete the toxic cyanobacteria, preventing HABs and providing better nutrition for the food web. The food web becomes more productive so that nutrient clearance is restored, and sediment nutrient stockpiles are depleted as they are bio-dredged away.
Consistent use of these products over time reduces nutrient availability and helps maintain clean, healthy water.

PFAS first went into widespread use after the U.S. government, responding to a deadly fire aboard a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier during the Vietnam War in 1967, commissioned a handful of major chemical companies to develop a firefighting foam that could quickly and dependably extinguished jet fuel fires. They came up with aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), which contains PFAS. This foam has since been used at military bases, airports and refineries and other industrial and commercial sites all over the world.
AFFF is made up of a mix of fluorocarbons, surfactants and solubilizers. The fluorochemical surfactant helps lower the surface tension of water, allowing the foam to create a thin film on top of liquid fuels. This film stops vapours, cuts off the fuel’s oxygen supply, and prevents fuel from evaporating and catching fire again. AFFF was also designed to spread quickly and smoothly over liquid fuel, making it very effective at putting out petroleum hydrocarbon fires.
However, the environmental impacts and potential health effects of PFAS are under intense scrutiny, and we are seeing the promulgation of PFAS guidance and criteria leading to broader regulations and lower thresholds and standards in Canada and North America, in general.
As the presence of PFAS is already widespread and ubiquitous in the environment, it is key to incorporate “background concentrations” into the assessment, delineation and remediation considerations of impacted sites.
Of concern is that regulatory bodies, in particular in Europe and the U.S., have continued to lower the acceptable limits for PFAS in water, soil and air, at the same time that they have banned or limited their use in AFFF and are moving towards restricting their use in cer-

tain consumer products. In fact, the U.S. has set PFAS limits at concentrations that are below what would typically be found in rainwater in rural and remote areas around the country.
While PFAS-contaminated sites all across Canada are at varying stages of investigation, risk management, and remediation efforts, the federal government is starting to initiate regulations and programs to phase out PFAS and transition to safer alternatives, including AFFF. The country is primarily following a risk-based approach, with top priority given to locations where drinking water supplies and other sensitive receptors have been affected.
In fact, Health Canada has already set an objective of 30 ppt for the sum of 25 PFAS in drinking water, signaling the beginning of tighter regulatory controls to come.
In the meantime, some provinces are
taking the initiative to establish their own PFAS regulations. British Columbia, Alberta and the Atlantic provinces have already implemented a broad set of standards or guidelines, and Ontario has proposed a drinking water screening value for PFAS.
However, the emergence of varying provincial regulations could lead to the kind of enforcement challenges seen in the U.S. with their state-by-state regulatory differences. In particular, the federal government is now requiring businesses to report on the presence of PFAS in their supply chains.
Given this regulatory backdrop, many industries are proactively seeking alternatives to PFAS-based products and are phasing out PFAS from their supply chains. This shift is not only a response to government actions but also to heightened public awareness of the health risks associated with PFAS exposure.
Thus, the demand for, and adoption of safer, environmentally-friendly solutions like fluorine-free firefighting foams (F3s) continues to grow, while a number of countries, including Canada, have been initiating regulatory programs to completely phase out AFFF use.
The potential environmental liabilities brought on by decades of AFFF use creates a challenge when investigating and evaluating the possible risks to receptors and in developing an appropriate strategy to mitigate those risks when it’s deemed appropriate to do so.
Regulatory pressure is put on airports and military bases where foam has routinely been used in firefighting and training exercises and each facility may be associated with multiple potential source areas. Because of the persistence, mobility and toxicity of PFAS, they are increasingly the subject of environmental investigations to evaluate the
potential risks and determine whether a remediation or risk management strategy should be implemented.
In Canada, where the investigation of many federal sites like military bases and airports has been conducted across the country, PFAS impacts in source areas have been observed in soil and groundwater. The downgradient impacts from source areas often also include surface waters, sediments, and biota found in streams and ditches that eventually flow into larger water bodies that may represent potential drinking water sources and/ or commercial or recreational fisheries.
These investigation programs have typically extended beyond simply determining whether there is a presence or absence of PFAS to incorporate forensics analyses meant to establish the source of impacts, as well as to make a distinction between any observed site-related impacts and any potential off-site sources or background concentrations.
Such forensics programs typically rely on multiple lines of evidence, including
evaluating the chemical mixture and concentration gradients of the detected PFAS, as well as looking at the mobility of the PFAS within the context of the site hydrogeology.
Risk assessments, including evaluating both the potential risks to human and ecological receptors, are also often completed to inform potential mitigation strategies. The use of a risk-based approach that considers exposure and risk from site and background exposures is key, especially given the cost, challenges, and uncertainties associated with remediation of these compounds.
The typical go-to source zone remediation strategy for PFAS-impacted soil is excavation. Materials are typically either stored on site in containment cells or transported and placed in specialized landfills. However, excavation is expensive, energy-intensive, and depending on scale of efforts, disruptive to the local continued overleaf…
community and not always practical for larger-sized source zones. It is also important to note that simply moving PFASladen material from one location to another doesn’t necessarily solve the problem in the long term.
Source zone treatment involves addressing PFAS impacted soils and the continued leaching of PFAS to groundwater that may represent a risk to receptors downgradient of the source area. The two technologies discussed below offer cost-efficient alternatives to excavation and landfilling of PFAS-impacted soils as well as greatly reducing long-term liabilities and potential cost that may be associated with off-site disposal of PFAS impacted soils.
Soil washing: This volume reduction process involves “washing soil” to transfer PFAS from the soil to the rinse water. This allows for reuse of the soil, while the rinse water can be treated using conventional water treatment technologies. Soil washing is being evaluated at several sites in Canada.
Stabilization and solidification: This approach involves mixing soils, either in-place or after excavation, with commercially available stabilization agents like carbon or organo-clay and solidifying the treated soils with cement. The approach reduces the leachability of PFAS by several orders of magnitude and limits the infiltration of water. This particular method is being tested at sites in Canada, including evaluating its effectiveness under a variety of climatic conditions.
The current de facto water treatment technologies that are being implemented include granular activated carbon and/ or ion exchange treatment of PFAS containing water. However, liquids containing high concentrations of PFAS as well as water with more complex chemistry, represent a challenge for PFAS treatment, both in terms of efficiency and cost. A treatment train approach involving separation and concentration followed by destruction offers a solution to the challenge.
This process, aimed at reducing treatment cost involves separating the PFAS into a small volume of concentrated liquid that can be targeted using a PFAS destructive technology. It takes a lot of energy to destroy PFAS and therefore volume reduction and concentration is key.
Fractionation is a demonstrated technology to separate and concentrate PFAS. The process involves bubbling the impacted liquid with a gas, typically air or ozone, and taking advantage of PFAS’ preference for the air-water interphase. PFAS will be concentrated in a foam at the top of the fractionation vessels and skimmed.
The resulting volume reduction may be on the order of 98% and multiple orders of magnitude increase in PFAS concentrations in the “reject.” The “reject” is the focus for destruction. There are multiple destructive technologies on the market at varying stages of development, commercialization, performance and cost-efficiency.
Examples of destructive technologies include sonolysis and supercritical water oxidation (SCWO). Sonolysis uses sound waves to break down the chemical structure of PFAS, while SCWO operates like a high-temperature pressure cooker to destroy PFAS. Whereas SCWO is commercially available, sonolysis is still in the earlier stages of commercialization.
At Arcadis, we have been working on a range of destruc-
tive technologies in collaboration with some noted academic research partners in the U.K. and in the U.S. and are currently conducting demonstrations at military bases across North America.
While risk management and remediation can be viable means of dealing with PFAS accumulations in the natural environment, prevention is the key to ensuring no further occurrences happen in the future. In Canada, airports and military bases are transitioning away from AFFF to fluorine-free foams. However, this change is much more complicated than merely replacing one type of foam with another.
PFAS residues in the AFFF systems are typically very hard to remove and result in significant PFAS concentrations in the new fluorine-free foam. Without proper and thorough cleaning or replacement of existing firefighting equipment and fire suppression infrastructure, there will continue to be significant environmental liabilities associated with the fire suppression systems, as well as challenges meeting the evolving regulations regarding PFAS.
To address this challenge, Arcadis has developed a foam transition process that involves rigorous cleaning of all existing firefighting systems before fluorine-free foams are introduced. The process, which is made up of a five-step program, begins with a cost-benefit analysis on replacing or cleaning the components of a system. It ensures that very little PFAS remain in firefighting apparatus or pipes. As a process, it has been successfully applied at more than 250 sites worldwide over the past eight years.
In Canada, the federal government has already listed several PFAS chemicals as toxic, banning their import or use, although limited exemptions have been allowed, including firefighting foam. Moving forward, stricter regulations will likely incentivize further reductions in PFAS use across all sectors. The current mandatory reporting requirement for Canadian companies who imported, manufactured, and/or used products containing certain PFAS in 2023 suggests the potential for more restrictions to come.
As Canada takes further steps to regulate PFAS, there are opportunities for industries, airports and military bases to reduce their potential liabilities by transitioning away from PFAS-containing products and prioritizing action on PFAS-impacted sites that pose the greatest risk to receptors. At the same time, mitigation efforts should be driven by a level of pragmatism that limits the potential introduction of high-cost strategies that provide only short-term or inefficient solutions.

Recent announcements, including $1.8 billion in water and wastewater funding and the $3 billion Building Ontario Fund, demonstrate that the Ontario government recognizes the importance of comprehensive infrastructure investment. While the province’s funding commitments are commendable, current program requirements have inadvertently created barriers. Under existing rules, municipalities can only secure funding for projects that have not yet broken ground.
As a result, many local governments were forced to delay or withhold projects scheduled for tender this year, awaiting word on whether they would receive funding. More than 200 projects were submitted for provincial funding,
but only 54 received approval. This left dozens of shovel-ready projects on hold, which ultimately increases costs, exacerbates the infrastructure deficit, and holds back housing development.
A simple but effective solution would allow funding to apply to projects started within the same calendar year. This change would give municipalities the flexibility to move forward with priority projects, while still accessing the resources they need. By aligning program rules with the realities of municipal planning and procurement, the province could unlock the full potential of its investments.
The Building Ontario Fund has the potential to transform how projects are financed. By leveraging public funds to attract institutional capital, this fund can amplify the province’s investments and create opportunities for more infrastructure projects to get underway.
Innovative funding models like this are essential in addressing Ontario’s growing infrastructure needs. For exam-
ple, large pension funds and private investors can partner with governments to deliver projects more quickly and cost-effectively. Integrating these new financing approaches into long-term planning would allow Ontario to stretch every dollar further and ensure that critical projects are completed on time and on budget.
To realize the full potential of the Building Ontario Fund, continued collaboration with municipalities and industry stakeholders is crucial. The success of this program will hinge on clear guidelines, transparent processes, and a shared commitment to unlocking the resources needed to meet Ontario’s infrastructure challenges.
Ontario is one of the fastest-growing regions in North America, expecting to add 2.8 million residents over the next 25 years. This growth demands forward-thinking investment not just in housing, but in the infrastructure that enables communities to function. Water and wastewater systems, in particular, are foundational.
Without modernized systems, housing developments cannot move forward, and existing communities face increasing strain.
For municipalities, new funding will help address years of underinvestment. Ontario’s 2021 Financial Accountability Office (FAO) report revealed that nearly half of municipal infrastructure assets are not in a state of good repair. This backlog, along with the rising costs of climate adaptation for stormwater management, highlights the urgency of strategic investment.
Water infrastructure projects offer an opportunity to integrate new capacity with upgrades to aging systems. For example, municipalities can replace outdated pipes and improve stormwater management, while laying the groundwork for new housing developments.
When done right, these investments not only support growth but also enhance the quality of life for current residents by reducing flooding risks and ensuring reliable access to clean water.
The recent funding announcements underscore the importance of industry and municipal advocacy. The success of
Modern water and wastewater systems are essential for the 1.5 million new homes Ontario aims to build
these efforts lies in their ability to frame infrastructure investment as essential for both economic growth and quality of life. Advocacy has helped shift the conversation from incremental improvements to transformative solutions.
The Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario (RCCAO) has consistently called for smarter funding models, streamlined program requirements, and greater collaboration between all levels of government. These priorities are reflected in the province’s recent measures, including the acknowledgement that housing cannot be built in isolation.
Every new home requires supporting infrastructure, and every community needs reliable systems to sustain growth.
Infrastructure funding is not just about shovels in the ground — it’s about creating the conditions for sustainable, inclusive growth. Modern water and wastewater systems are essential for the 1.5 million new homes Ontario aims to build over the next decade. These systems connect communities, support local economies, and improve public health.
At the same time, housing and infrastructure investments must go hand in hand. Building new homes without adequate infrastructure leads to bottlenecks, delays, and frustration for residents.
Conversely, investing in infrastructure without addressing housing needs can leave communities unable to attract the people and businesses they need to thrive.
The integration of housing and infrastructure planning is already yielding results in Ontario. For example, transit-oriented development projects are creating new housing near major transit hubs, reducing commute times and supporting regional growth.
Similar approaches can be applied to water infrastructure, ensuring that new developments are efficiently connected to existing systems while upgrading
capacity for future needs.
The success of these initiatives depends on collaboration. Municipalities, already stretched thin by post-pandemic budget pressures, need provincial and federal partners to bridge the funding gap. Local governments lack the taxing and borrowing authority to fund large-scale projects on their own, and their budgets do not grow automatically with economic recovery like those of higher levels of government.
Collaboration must also extend to program design. Ensuring that funding programs are flexible, transparent, and aligned with municipal priorities is essential for getting projects built. Programs that are overly restrictive or out of sync with local planning cycles risk leaving valuable dollars on the table and delaying much-needed infrastructure improvements.
The $1.8 billion in water and wastewater funding and the $3 billion Building Ontario Fund are encouraging steps toward addressing Ontario’s infrastructure challenges. But these measures must be part of a broader, sustained effort to modernize and expand critical systems across the province.
Smarter program design, innovative funding models, and integrated planning will allow Ontario to build the infrastructure necessary for economic competitiveness and community well-being.
