Air Emissions Permit for In-Tek Coating Facility in Chatham-Kent
Official title: In-Tek Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
In-Tek Inc. operates a plastic and metal parts coating facility in Tilbury, Ontario. They're applying to consolidate their air and noise permits into one Environmental Compliance Approval. The facility emits various chemicals including butyl acetate, nitrogen oxides, and other compounds from paint spray booths and coating operations.
Why This Matters
Live near Tilbury or Chatham-Kent? This facility releases chemicals into the air you breathe. The permit sets limits on what they can emit. If you're concerned about air quality in your neighbourhood, this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, In-Tek gets a single permit covering all their air and noise emissions, including sources that weren't previously approved. The permit includes production limits and flexibility conditions that will eventually expire, requiring renewal.
Key Issues
- Should the facility be allowed to consolidate all air and noise emissions under one permit?
- Are the proposed emission limits adequate to protect local air quality?
- Should previously unapproved emission sources now be permitted?
