Air Emissions Permit Renewal for Woodward Aircraft Parts Factory - Peterborough
Official title: Woodward Canada Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Woodward Canada makes aircraft control boards at their Peterborough factory. They need to renew their air emissions permit, which covers soldering, coating, and curing processes. The permit allows some flexibility in how they operate, but sets limits on production levels.
Why This Matters
Live near Fisher Drive in Peterborough? This factory releases chemicals into the air, including a solvent called bis(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl) ether. The permit renewal sets limits on what they can emit. If you have concerns about local air quality, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
If approved, Woodward keeps operating with flexibility to modify their processes within set limits. The permit will cap production levels and emissions. New conditions may be added based on current environmental standards.
Key Issues
- Should the air emissions permit be renewed for this aircraft parts manufacturer?
- Are the proposed production limits and emission controls adequate to protect local air quality?
