Air Permit for Ready-Mix Concrete Plant in St. Marys
Official title: Lavis Contracting Co. Limited - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Lavis Contracting wants to operate a ready-mix concrete plant at 950 Water Street South in St. Marys, Ontario. They need an Environmental Compliance Approval for air emissions and noise. The plant would release particulate matter, silica dust, cement dust, and combustion gases from equipment like baghouse dust collectors and a diesel generator.
Why This Matters
Live near Water Street South in St. Marys? This plant could affect your air quality. Concrete plants release dust and diesel exhaust. If you're concerned about noise or respiratory health in your neighbourhood, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
If approved, Lavis Contracting could operate the concrete plant with three baghouse dust collectors and a diesel generator. The permit would set limits on particulate matter, silica, and other emissions. Conditions may require dust control measures and noise restrictions.
Key Issues
- Should the air emissions permit be approved for this concrete plant?
- Are the proposed dust control measures adequate to protect nearby residents?
- What noise restrictions should apply to the facility?
