Air Emissions Permit for Concrete Plant in Parry Sound
Official title: The Sarjeant Company Limited - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
A ready-mix concrete plant in Parry Sound wants approval to operate dust collectors, a boiler, and aggregate stockpiles. The plant would release particulate matter, cement dust, silica, and nitrogen oxides into the air. The Ministry is asking whether this should be approved.

What Could Change
