Air Emissions Permit for Loyalist Quarry Near Odessa
Official title: R. W. TOMLINSON LIMITED - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
R. W. Tomlinson Limited wants to consolidate and update its air emissions permits for a gravel quarry near Odessa, Ontario. The Loyalist Quarry crushes, screens, and stockpiles aggregate materials. This new permit would cover all emission sources at the site, including dust from operations and exhaust from generators.
Why This Matters
Live near Odessa or along County Road 2? This quarry releases dust and air pollutants including silica and nitrogen oxides. The permit sets limits on how much they can emit. If you're concerned about air quality in your neighbourhood, this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, the company gets a single consolidated air permit with production limits. The permit includes flexibility conditions that expire, requiring future renewal applications. New emission sources that weren't previously approved would become authorized.
Key Issues
- Should the quarry be allowed to consolidate all air emission sources under one permit?
- Are the proposed emission limits adequate to protect local air quality?
- Should previously unapproved emission sources be authorized?
