Air Emissions Permit for Dana Canada Auto Parts Plant - Cambridge

Official title: Dana Canada Corporation - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)

Open Regulations & Permits Environment & Climate
Dana Canada makes heat exchangers for cars at their Cambridge factory. They're applying for a new air emissions permit that would cover all their equipment—stamping presses, welding, brazing, and a groundwater cleanup system. The permit would allow some flexibility in how they operate, up to certain production limits.

Why This Matters

Live or work near Franklin Boulevard in Cambridge? This factory releases nitrogen oxides, mineral spirits, and nickel into the air. If you have concerns about local air quality, this is your chance to weigh in before the permit is approved.

What Could Change

If approved, Dana Canada gets a consolidated permit covering all their air emission sources. The permit includes production limits and flexibility conditions that will eventually expire, requiring renewal. New or previously unapproved emission sources would become officially permitted.

Key Issues

  • Should the facility be allowed to emit nitrogen oxides, mineral spirits, and nickel under the proposed limits?
  • Are the proposed operational flexibility conditions appropriate for this facility?
