Air Emissions Permit Amendment for Bartek Ingredients Chemical Plant - Stoney Creek
Official title: Bartek Ingredients Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Bartek Ingredients, a chemical manufacturer in Stoney Creek (Hamilton), wants to amend its air emissions permit. The main change? Installing a new 700 BHP boiler and updating their noise reduction plan. The facility releases nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and various acids into the air from its manufacturing processes.
Why This Matters
Live or work near South Service Road in Stoney Creek? This facility already emits nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and chemical acids into the air. A new boiler means potential changes to local air quality. Neighbours may also notice noise impacts.
What Could Change
If approved, Bartek can install a larger boiler and operate under updated noise rules. The permit sets production limits and has an expiry date, so the company will need to reapply later. Air emissions from the facility would continue under the amended approval.
Key Issues
- Should the new 700 BHP boiler be approved given existing air emissions?
- Are the updated noise abatement measures adequate for nearby residents?
