Air Emissions Permit for Dajcor Aluminum - Chatham-Kent
Official title: Dajcor Aluminum Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Dajcor Aluminum wants to consolidate all its air and noise permits into one Environmental Compliance Approval. The facility in Chatham-Kent produces extruded and anodized aluminum components. This new permit would cover existing operations plus some historically unapproved emission sources.
Why This Matters
Live near 155 Irwin Street in Chatham-Kent? This facility releases nitrogen oxides, acids, and particulate matter into the air. The permit also covers noise. If you've noticed industrial smells or sounds from this area, this is your chance to comment.
What Could Change
If approved, Dajcor gets a single permit covering all air and noise emissions from aluminum extruding, anodizing, cutting, and polishing operations. The permit includes production limits and flexibility conditions that will eventually expire, requiring renewal.
Key Issues
- Should historically unapproved emission sources be included in the new permit?
- Are the proposed air emission limits adequate to protect local air quality?
- Are noise controls sufficient for nearby residents?
