This site runs an underground mining operation with over 250 employees and contractors working underground daily. Operational challenges experienced prior to the development of a waste program include: Mining equipment and skilled labour are being used to transport waste, a non-productive task Logistics stream is bogged down by time consuming and risky waste movement Returnable waste (shotcrete bags and pallets) are being disposed of losing expense recapture opportunities Ministry of Labour orders are being received related to inadequate waste handling and containment, like uncovered waste The Plan: A&M worked with the client to develop a waste management program that involved the collection and management of all underground waste. The waste management process involves: A&M collects and manages waste from all areas of the mine A&M ensures waste handling and containment meet MOL requirements A&M sorts waste into streams and isolates recoverable products. A&M packages and labels waste for efficient handling and transport to end destinations Results achieved: 14,000-20,000 hours annually diverted from waste management activities to production 18% increase in availability of shaft, tram and boom trucks for production $540,00 of recovered assets returned annually 94% reduction in cage runs dedicated to waste transportation Eliminated MOL orders related to waste containment and handling

This site is a community landfill in northern community with a population of approximately 1000 people and growing industry in the local area. Challenges experienced prior to the development of a waste program include: -Environmental harm due to burning of waste, poor hazardous waste containment, and leaching of wastes into soils and ground water. -Unsafe conditions to the public and employees because of unrestricted access, wildlife interaction and unsegregated waste. -Limited lifespan of the available space is approaching. A&M worked with the client to develop a waste management program that involves the remediation and management of the landfill. A&M created a comprehensive waste management plan involving: -Landfill remediation plan – site clean up, soil and water testing plan -Waste handling – waste segregation, sorting and compacting -Infrastructure - low capacity waste transfer station, access gates and waste containment areas -Partnerships – management of off-site waste haulage -Traffic planning – for public vehicles and industrial vehicles, worker safety Anticipated Results: -Elimination of unauthorized access. -Reduced wildlife interaction reduced due to effective waste segregation -Increased lifespan of the remaining landfill space by 94% due to waste compacting and infrastructure development -End to waste burning -Hazardous wastes contained and handled properly. -Leaching hazard eliminated with use of geosynthetic membranes and proper waste sorting and containment.

This site is an open pit mine with associated industrial operations and accommodations for 300 employees. Challenges experienced prior to the development of a waste program include: -Unsustainable costs associated with hauling waste off site, over 750 km to the nearest waste management facility. -Unsafe conditions for wildlife and humans because of food wastes on site. -Congestion of main access highway due to excess haulage traffic A&M is working with the client to develop a waste management program that involves both on-site and off-site management of industrial and domestic waste. The waste management plan involves: -Waste handling – waste segregation, sorting and compacting. -Composting equipment – to immediately process food wastes on-site without smells -Waste compacting - reduce haulage requirements and maximize waste transported per trip. -Haulage - removal of wastes from site. -Partnerships – with local communities to increase waste processing capabilities and reduce haulage distances. Anticipated Results: -Minimize risk of wildlife interaction because of contained composting equipment used daily to reduce food waste volumes and smells. -Reduction of GHG emissions through haulage reductions and composting methods -Effective recycling, hazardous waste capture and low waste volume allows for local waste disposal and lower haulage costs.
