Air Permit for Organic Waste Bioenergy Facility in Leamington
Official title: Seacliff Renewables GP Inc. as general partner for and on behalf of Seacliff Renewables LP - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
A company wants to turn organic waste into renewable natural gas at a facility in Leamington, Ontario. They need government approval to release emissions into the air, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and odour. The biogas would be upgraded and injected into the natural gas pipeline network.
Why This Matters
Live near Mersea Road in Leamington? This facility could affect local air quality. Odour and emissions from the biofilter, flare, and other equipment would be released nearby. If you're concerned about smells or air pollution in your neighbourhood, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
If approved, Seacliff Renewables could operate equipment including a biofilter, co-generator, biogas flare, and natural gas boiler. The facility would be allowed to emit nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and odour within set limits. Renewable natural gas would flow into Ontario's pipeline network.
Key Issues
- Should this facility be approved to emit nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other air contaminants?
- Are the proposed odour controls adequate for nearby residents?
- What conditions should be placed on the air emissions approval?
