Air Emissions Permit for Arvin Sango Auto Parts Plant - London
Official title: Arvin Sango Canada Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
An automotive parts manufacturer in London, Ontario wants approval to emit various pollutants into the air. Arvin Sango Canada Inc. is seeking a consolidated environmental permit covering welding operations, emergency generators, dust collectors, and lab equipment. The emissions include hexavalent chromium, manganese, nickel, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter.
Why This Matters
Live or work near Discovery Drive in London? This facility would release metals and particles into the air you breathe. Hexavalent chromium and nickel are known health hazards. Noise from operations could also affect nearby residents.
What Could Change
If approved, Arvin Sango gets a single permit covering all air and noise emissions from their facility. The permit includes production limits and flexibility conditions that expire, requiring future renewal applications. This replaces their existing separate air permits.
Key Issues
- Should this facility be permitted to emit hexavalent chromium, manganese, and nickel into the air?
- Are the proposed production limits and operational flexibility conditions adequate to protect air quality?
