Air Emissions Permit for Loyalist Quarry Near Odessa
Official title: R. W. TOMLINSON LIMITED - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
R. W. Tomlinson Limited wants to consolidate and update its air emissions permits for a gravel quarry near Odessa, Ontario. The quarry crushes, screens, and stockpiles aggregate materials. Emissions include particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and trace amounts of benzene and other compounds.
Why This Matters
Live near Odessa or along County Road 2? This quarry's air emissions could affect your daily air quality. Dust from crushing and truck traffic is a common concern for nearby residents. If you have respiratory issues, you might want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, the company gets a single consolidated air permit with production limits. The permit allows some operational flexibility but sets caps on how much material can be processed. Conditions will expire and require renewal.
Key Issues
- Should the consolidated air emissions permit be approved for this quarry?
- Are the proposed emission limits adequate to protect nearby residents?
- What production limits should apply to the facility?
