Air Emissions Permit Renewal for Vehicle Exhaust Purifier Manufacturer in Vaughan
Official title: DCL International Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
DCL International makes vehicle exhaust purifiers at their Vaughan factory. 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 factory's emissions could affect your air quality. The expansion means more production capacity and potentially more emissions in your neighbourhood.
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 they can release.
Key Issues
- Should the facility be allowed to add three new calcination ovens?
- Are the proposed emission limits for chromium, nickel, and other pollutants adequate to protect air quality?
- Should the facility's production limits be increased?
