Air Emissions Permit Amendment for Oakville Concrete Plant
Official title: Royal Ready-Mix Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Royal Ready-Mix Inc. wants to update its air and noise permit for a concrete plant in Oakville. The facility handles sand, aggregate, and rock crushing, and releases pollutants including benzene, nickel compounds, and particulate matter into the air.
Why This Matters
Live near Royal Windsor Drive in Oakville? This concrete plant releases benzene and other pollutants into your air. The permit update could affect air quality in your neighbourhood.
What Could Change
The Ministry could approve, modify, or deny the permit amendment. If approved, the facility's current operations—including rock crushing and concrete production—would be formally authorized under updated emission limits.
Key Issues
- Should the facility's current air emissions from concrete production and rock crushing be approved?
- Are the emission levels of benzene, nickel compounds, and particulate matter acceptable for this location?
