Air Emissions Permit for CRH Concrete Plant - Niagara Falls
Official title: CRH Canada Group Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
CRH Canada wants approval to operate a ready-mix concrete plant in Niagara Falls with updated air and noise permits. The plant produces concrete using steam boilers, dust collectors, and storage silos. Emissions include cement dust, particulate matter, and nitrogen oxides.
Why This Matters
Live near Don Murie Street in Niagara Falls? This plant's emissions could affect your air quality. Cement dust, particulate matter, and nitrogen oxides will be released into your neighbourhood. If you have respiratory concerns, this permit matters to you.
What Could Change
If approved, CRH Canada can operate all emission sources at the facility under one consolidated permit. The permit includes production limits and flexibility conditions that will expire and require renewal. New or previously unapproved emission sources would become legal.
Key Issues
- Should the consolidated air and noise permit be approved for this concrete plant?
- Are the proposed emission limits adequate to protect local air quality?
- Should previously unapproved emission sources be legalized?
