People working and living in Nunavut often have limited choices available for cost effective and environmentally sound <\/p>\n
management of household and other solid waste. The widespread presence of permafrost, lack of adequate cover material and <\/p>\n
remote locations make open burning and incineration a common and widespread practice to decrease the volume of solid waste and <\/p>\n
make it less of an attractant to wildlife.\u00a0 A wide variety of combustion methods are used ranging from open burning on the <\/p>\n
ground to high temperature dual-chamber commercial incinerators.\u00a0 Generally, high temperature incinerators are more expensive <\/p>\n
to purchase and operate and cause less pollution than do the less expensive and lower temperature procedures.\u00a0 However, high <\/p>\n
temperature incinerators may safely dispose of a wider range of waste than can the reduced temperature open burning procedures. It’s intended to be a source for traditional, field and business camp <\/p>\n
operators, communities and others considering burning and incineration as an element of the solid waste management program. <\/p>\n
It examines waste burning and incineration methods that are used in Nunavut, their dangers and risks and outlines best <\/p>\n
management practices that may reduce impacts on the environment, decrease human-wildlife interactions and ensure worker and <\/p>\n
public health and safety. This Guideline does not address incineration of biomedical waste, hazardous waste and sewage <\/p>\n
sludge. The management of these wastes requires specific equipment, operational controls and training that are beyond the <\/p>\n
scope of this present document. Section 2.2 of this Act provides the Minister with authority to develop, coordinate, and <\/p>\n
administer the Guideline. <\/p>\n
The Guideline isn’t an official statement of the law. For more information and guidance, the owner or person in control, <\/p>\n
management or control of a solid waste is invited to review all applicable legislation and consult the Department of <\/p>\n
Environment, other regulatory agencies or qualified persons with experience in the management of solid waste. <\/p>\n
administer the Guideline.<\/p>\n
The Guideline is not an official statement of the law. For further information and guidance, the owner or person in charge,<\/p>\n
management or control of a solid waste is encouraged to review all applicable legislation and consult the Department of<\/p>\n
Environment, other regulatory agencies or qualified persons with expertise in the management of solid waste.<\/p>\n
