Air Emissions Permit for Bay Power Corp. - North Bay Power Plant
Official title: BAY POWER CORP. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Bay Power Corp. wants to consolidate all its air emission permits into one new approval. The North Bay power plant runs on natural gas and includes a turbine, boiler, data centre, and other equipment. The main pollutant is nitrogen oxides.
Why This Matters
Live near Highway 11 North in North Bay? This power plant's air emissions could affect local air quality. Nitrogen oxides contribute to smog and can worsen respiratory conditions.
What Could Change
If approved, Bay Power Corp. gets a single permit covering all air emission sources at the facility. The permit includes production limits and flexibility conditions that will expire and need renewal.
Key Issues
- Should the facility receive approval to consolidate all air emission sources under one permit?
- Are the proposed nitrogen oxide emission limits adequate to protect local air quality?
