Air Emissions Permit Amendment for Auto Parts Coating Facility in Brampton
Official title: 2575639 Ontario Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
An automotive parts coating facility in Brampton wants to nearly triple its production capacity. The company is asking Ontario to amend its air emissions permit to allow processing up to 2.9 million cubic metres per year. The facility releases butanol, ethyl hexanol, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides into the air.
Why This Matters
Live or work near Orenda Road in Brampton? This facility's expansion could mean more air emissions in your neighbourhood. The coating process releases chemicals including sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which can affect air quality.
What Could Change
If approved, the facility could increase production to 2.9 million cubic metres annually. The amended permit would set new limits on operational flexibility and include an expiry date requiring future renewal.
Key Issues
- Should the facility be allowed to increase production capacity to 2.9 million cubic metres per year?
- Are the proposed air emission limits adequate to protect local air quality?
