Air & Noise Permit for Concrete Bagging Facility in Woodstock
Official title: 1000746845 Ontario Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
A company wants to operate a dry concrete bagging facility and aggregate depot at 738 Alyea Street in Woodstock, Ontario. They need government approval to release dust, silica, cement particles, and other emissions into the air. The facility would also produce industrial noise.
Why This Matters
Live or work near Alyea Street in Woodstock? This facility would release dust, silica, and cement particles into the air. Silica dust is a known health hazard. Neighbours may also notice increased truck traffic and industrial noise.
What Could Change
If approved, the company could operate baghouse dust collectors, natural gas dryers, and handle materials that release particulates. The permit would set limits on emissions of silica, cement dust, nickel, and nitrogen oxides. Noise levels would also be regulated.
Key Issues
- Should this facility be allowed to emit respirable crystalline silica and cement dust near residential areas?
- Are the proposed emission controls adequate to protect air quality?
- What noise impacts will the facility have on the surrounding community?
