Air Emissions Permit Renewal for Apotex Pharmaceutical Plant - Toronto
Official title: Apotex Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Apotex Inc. wants to renew its air emissions permit for a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Toronto. The plant releases nitrogen oxides, methylene chloride, and particulate matter from boilers, heaters, and dust collectors. This renewal would continue allowing the facility to operate with some flexibility in how it manages emissions.
Why This Matters
Live near Garyray Drive in northwest Toronto? This facility releases chemicals into the air you breathe. The permit sets limits on how much pollution is allowed. If you have concerns about air quality in your neighbourhood, this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Apotex can continue operating its pharmaceutical plant with flexibility to modify equipment and processes within set limits. The permit includes production caps and an expiry date requiring future renewal. Denial or modification could restrict the facility's operations.
Key Issues
- Should the air emissions permit be renewed for this pharmaceutical facility?
- Are the current emission limits adequate to protect local air quality?
