In April, 1993, the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) commissioned a study to develop national guidelines for the use of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes as supplementary fuels in cement kilns. The study was undertaken by proctor and Redfern Limited under the direction of the Wastes as fuels Sub-Committee, which consists of provincial and federal regulators and industry representatives. The study culminated in the preparation of draft guidelines for presentation to the Hazardous Waste Task Force of the CCME. This paper describes the draft guidelines development process for cement kilns using wastes as fuels in Canada, and presents the rationale for the proposed emission limits, operating standards and monitoring requirements.
