Air and Noise Permit for Organic Waste-to-Biogas 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 for air emissions and noise from equipment like biofilters, generators, and gas flares. The biogas would be upgraded and injected into the natural gas pipeline network.
Why This Matters
Live near Mersea Road 1 in Leamington? This facility could affect local air quality and noise levels. The plant will emit nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and odours. Neighbours may want to weigh in on whether the environmental controls are adequate.
What Could Change
If approved, Seacliff Renewables could operate biogas upgrading equipment, flares, and generators at this site. The permit would set limits on air contaminants like nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. Conditions may require odour control measures for nearby residents.
Key Issues
- Are the proposed air emission controls adequate to protect local air quality?
- Will odour from the organic waste facility affect nearby residents?
- Are noise levels from the equipment acceptable for the surrounding area?
