Air Emissions Permit for Sunrock Concrete Plant - Peterborough
Official title: Sunrock Industries Canada ULC - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Sunrock Industries wants approval to operate a ready-mix concrete plant at 424 Hillis Road in Peterborough. The plant would emit particulate matter, cement dust, silica, and other pollutants. This permit would replace existing approvals and add previously unapproved emission sources.
Why This Matters
Live near Hillis Road in Peterborough? This plant would release cement dust, silica particles, and other air pollutants in your neighbourhood. Respirable crystalline silica is a known health concern. If you're worried about air quality near your home, this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Sunrock could operate the concrete plant with set production limits. The permit includes "limited operational flexibility" conditions that expire and must be renewed. New emission sources that weren't previously approved would become legal.
Key Issues
- Should the concrete plant be approved to emit particulate matter, silica, and other pollutants?
- Are the proposed production limits and operational flexibility conditions adequate?
