Air Emissions Permit Renewal for Stainless Steel Foundry in Elmira
Official title: Precise Castings Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
A stainless steel castings manufacturer in Elmira, Ontario wants to renew its air and noise permit. The facility releases chromium, manganese, nickel, and other particles into the air during its manufacturing process. This renewal would let them continue operating with some flexibility to modify their processes within set limits.
Why This Matters
Live near Bonnie Crescent in Elmira? This foundry releases metals like chromium and nickel into the air. The permit renewal decides whether they can keep operating—and under what conditions. Neighbours concerned about air quality should weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Precise Castings can continue emitting chromium, manganese, nickel, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter within permitted limits. The permit includes production caps and an expiry date requiring future renewal.
