December of 2002 by the Ontario Ministry of Environment, it is the first privately owned wood ash disposal site of its
kind in the province of Ontario.
The site receives wood ash from one source only, Kirkland Lake Power, a wood fired cogeneration power plant located in
Kirkland Lake, Ontario. All wood ash disposed at the site is fully recyclable for reuse under the existing certificate
of approval. The woodash is essentially a type of Biochar suitable for Agricultural & Horticultural use.
