Air & Noise Permit for Aggregate Crushing Plant - Fenmar Drive, Toronto
Official title: Sanscon Construction Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Sanscon Construction wants approval to operate an aggregate crushing plant in northwest Toronto. The facility would release nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, crystalline silica dust, sulphur dioxide, and carbon monoxide into the air. Equipment includes crushers, screeners, conveyors, and diesel engines.
