City of Toronto: Get involved - Biosolids Master Plan

Peer Review of Decision Making Model
The City of Toronto undertook a Peer Review of the Biosolids and Residuals Master Plan Decision Making Model. This peer review focused on the decision-making model and the scoring criteria used to establish the recommendations of the BRMP and did not include a review of the various technologies that were considered in the master planning process. An independent consultant/facilitator was retained to coordinate and facilitate the peer review process. A Staff Report and the Peer Review Report were submitted to the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee on June 27, 2008.
