Air Emissions Permit for Kaiser Aluminum - London, Ontario
Official title: Kaiser Aluminum Canada Limited - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Kaiser Aluminum wants to consolidate all its air emission permits into one new approval. The London facility melts, casts, and extrudes aluminum billets. Emissions include ammonia, benzene, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. The new permit would also cover some equipment that was never formally approved.
Why This Matters
Live near Gore Road in London? This facility releases pollutants into the air you breathe. The permit would set limits on emissions like benzene and ammonia. If you have concerns about air quality in your neighbourhood, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
If approved, Kaiser Aluminum gets a single permit covering all air and noise emissions. The permit includes production limits and flexibility conditions that expire after a set period. The company would need to reapply to renew those conditions.
Key Issues
- Should the facility receive approval for previously unapproved emission sources?
- Are the proposed emission limits adequate to protect local air quality?
- What production limits should apply to the facility?
