Air & Noise Permit for Concrete Plant in St. Marys
Official title: Lavis Contracting Co. Limited - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
A concrete company wants permission to operate a ready-mix plant on Water Street South in St. Marys, Ontario. The plant would release dust, silica particles, and exhaust fumes into the air. It would also generate noise from operations.
Why This Matters

What Could Change
If approved, Lavis Contracting could operate three dust collectors, a diesel generator, and material handling equipment at this location. The permit would set limits on particulate matter, silica, cement dust, and noise levels the facility can emit.
