Air Emissions Permit Amendment for Electric Motor Parts Manufacturer in Brantford
Official title: Mitsui High-Tec (Canada), Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Mitsui High-Tec makes electric motor parts for car manufacturers at their Brantford facility. They want to expand and add new equipment—metal pressing, laser welding, annealing, and epoxy coating. This requires amending their air and noise permit to cover new emissions including particulates, metals, and chemicals.
Why This Matters
Live or work near 60 Fen Ridge Court in Brantford? This expansion could affect local air quality. The facility will emit particulates, metals like manganese and copper, and chemicals including methanol and phenol. Noise levels may also change.
What Could Change
If approved, Mitsui High-Tec can operate new metal pressing, welding, annealing, and coating equipment. Their permit would be updated to allow emissions of 11 substances including particulates, metals, and chemicals. New cooling towers would also be permitted.
Key Issues
- Should the facility be allowed to emit particulates, metals, and chemicals from new manufacturing equipment?
- Are the proposed noise levels from the expanded facility acceptable?
