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 horsepower boiler and updating their noise reduction plan. The facility releases nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and various acids into the air.
Why This Matters
Live near South Service Road in Stoney Creek? This facility already releases nitrogen oxides and particulate matter into the air. A new boiler means potential changes to local air quality. Neighbours may also notice changes to noise levels.
What Could Change
If approved, Bartek can install a larger boiler and operate under updated noise rules. The permit includes production limits and an expiry date, so the company will need to reapply later to continue operations.
Key Issues
- Should the new 700 BHP boiler be approved given current air emissions?
- Are the updated noise abatement measures adequate for nearby residents?
