Air Permit Amendment for Carmeuse Lime Facility - Blind River
Official title: Carmeuse Lime (Canada) Limited - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Carmeuse Lime wants to update its air emissions permit at its lime manufacturing plant near Blind River, Ontario. The company plans to remove one lime kiln and replace a baghouse dust collector. The facility produces lime from limestone and releases particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and other emissions into the air.
