Air Emissions Permit Amendment for Bartek Ingredients Chemical Plant - Stoney Creek
Official title: Bartek Ingredients Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Bartek Ingredients, a chemical manufacturer in Stoney Creek (Hamilton), wants to amend its air emissions permit. The main change? Installing a new 700 horsepower boiler and updating their noise reduction plan. The facility releases various chemicals into the air, including nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and organic acids from its manufacturing processes.
Why This Matters
Live near South Service Road in Stoney Creek? This chemical plant is adding equipment that affects local air quality. The facility already emits nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. If you're concerned about industrial emissions in your neighbourhood, this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Bartek can install a new 700 BHP boiler and operate under updated noise rules. The permit sets production limits and includes an expiry date for the operational flexibility conditions. The company will need to reapply when those conditions expire.
Key Issues
- Should the new 700 BHP boiler be approved given existing air emissions?
- Are the updated noise abatement measures adequate for the surrounding community?
