Air & Noise Permit for Mobile Screening and Grinding Equipment - Tri-Phase Group
Official title: Tri-Phase Group Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Tri-Phase Group wants approval to operate portable screening and grinding equipment across Ontario. The diesel-powered units would screen topsoil and grind wood waste, potentially running 24/7 year-round. The equipment releases particulate matter and nitrogen oxides into the air.
Why This Matters
This mobile equipment could operate anywhere in Ontario. If it sets up near your neighbourhood, you might notice dust or diesel exhaust. The 24/7 operation potential means noise could be a factor too.
What Could Change
If approved, Tri-Phase Group could operate this equipment province-wide without needing site-by-site permits. The approval would set limits on emissions and potentially operating hours or noise levels.
Key Issues
- Should this mobile equipment be allowed to operate 24/7 across Ontario?
- Are the proposed emission controls adequate for particulate matter and nitrogen oxides?
