Air Emissions Permit Amendment for Niagara Falls Foundry
Official title: Canadian Babbitt Bearings Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
A metal foundry in Niagara Falls wants to add a heat treatment furnace to its operations. The company already has an air emissions permit and needs approval to expand. Emissions include nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and metals like lead and chromium.
Why This Matters
Live near Broughton Avenue in Niagara Falls? This foundry's expansion could affect local air quality. The facility emits metals and particulates that neighbours may want to know about.
What Could Change
If approved, the foundry can install a new heat treatment furnace and update its noise plan. The permit sets production limits and requires renewal when flexibility conditions expire.
Key Issues
- Should the foundry be allowed to add a heat treatment furnace?
- Are the proposed air emission controls adequate for the expanded operations?
- Is the updated noise abatement action plan sufficient?
