Air Emissions Permit for Walker Aggregates Concrete Plant - Clarksburg
Official title: Walker Aggregates Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Walker Aggregates wants to update its air emissions permit for a ready-mix concrete plant in Clarksburg, Ontario. The new permit would cover cement silos, dust collectors, and concrete loading equipment. Emissions include cement dust, silica, and particulate matter.
Why This Matters
Live near Clarksburg? This concrete plant releases cement dust, silica, and other particles into the air. The permit sets limits on what they can emit. If you're concerned about local air quality, this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Walker Aggregates gets a consolidated air permit with production limits. The permit includes "limited operational flexibility" conditions that expire and must be renewed. New emission sources that weren't previously approved would become legal.
Key Issues
- Should the company receive approval for previously unapproved emission sources?
- Are the proposed air emission limits adequate to protect local air quality?
- What production limits should be set for the facility?
