Does the Incinerator Burn More Waste at Night?
No, the throughput of the incinerator is consistent both day and night. The perception that the plume appears darker at night can be attributed to the absence of light. Also, certain atmospheric conditions, calm still air for example, can make the plume appear to bellow from the stack and dissipate in the atmosphere more slowly making the plume appear “thicker” or “darker” to the eye. The facility has historically complied with emission standards published by the Ministry of Environment.
