Air Emissions Amendment for Kromet Aluminum Manufacturing - Cambridge
Official title: Kromet International Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Kromet International makes aluminum parts in Cambridge, Ontario. They want to add new equipment—caustic tanks, rinse tanks, and ventilation fans—to their facility. This requires updating their air emissions permit. The equipment releases nitrogen oxides and sodium hydroxide into the air.
Why This Matters
Live or work near Langs Drive in Cambridge? This facility's air emissions could affect your neighbourhood. The permit sets limits on what pollutants can be released. If you have concerns about air quality in the area, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
If approved, Kromet can install new caustic tanks, rinse tanks, cyclones, and ventilation fans. Their air permit would be updated with new emission limits for nitrogen oxides and sodium hydroxide. The permit includes an expiry date requiring future renewal.
Key Issues
- Should the air emissions permit be amended to allow new equipment at this aluminum manufacturing facility?
- Are the proposed emission limits for nitrogen oxides and sodium hydroxide adequate to protect local air quality?
