Air Permit Amendment for Concrete Plant in New Tecumseth
Official title: Greenwood Ready Mix Limited - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
A concrete batching plant in New Tecumseth wants to add a diesel fuel storage tank and a dust collector. The Ministry is reviewing whether to approve changes to their air emissions permit. The facility produces ready-mix concrete and would emit particulate matter, cement dust, and fly ash.

What Could Change
