Air Emissions Permit for Dajcor Aluminum - Chatham-Kent

Official title: Dajcor Aluminum Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)

Closed Regulations & Permits Environment & Climate
An aluminum manufacturing facility in Chatham-Kent wants to consolidate its air and noise permits into one Environmental Compliance Approval. The facility produces extruded, fabricated, and anodized aluminum components. This would also add approval for some previously unapproved emission sources.

Why This Matters

Live near 155 Irwin Street in Chatham-Kent? This facility releases nitrogen oxides, acids, and particulate matter into the air. The permit also covers noise. If you're concerned about local air quality or industrial noise, this is your chance to weigh in.

What Could Change

If approved, Dajcor Aluminum gets a single permit covering all air and noise emissions from aluminum extruding, cutting, machining, buffing, polishing, and anodizing. The permit includes production limits and will need renewal when flexibility conditions expire.

Key Issues

  • Should the facility receive approval for previously unapproved emission sources?
  • Are the proposed production limits and operational flexibility conditions appropriate?
  • What are the potential air quality and noise impacts on the surrounding community?
