Air Emissions Permit Renewal for DCL International - Vaughan Exhaust Purifier Plant
Official title: DCL International Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
DCL International makes vehicle exhaust purifiers in Vaughan, Ontario. They want to renew their air emissions permit and add three new ovens plus more welding capacity. The facility releases metals like chromium and nickel into the air, along with nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.
Why This Matters
Live or work near Cidermill Avenue in Vaughan? This facility's air emissions could affect your neighbourhood. The expansion means more production capacity and potentially more emissions of metals and particulates.
What Could Change
If approved, DCL can add three calcination ovens and expand welding operations. Their annual production limits for catalyst and assembled parts would change. The permit sets limits on how much chromium, nickel, and other pollutants can be released.
Key Issues
- Should the facility be allowed to add three new calcination ovens?
- Are the proposed emission limits adequate to protect local air quality?
- Should the production limits for catalyst and parts be increased?
