Air Permit Amendment for Concrete Plant in New Tecumseth
Official title: Greenwood Ready Mix Limited - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
A concrete batching plant in New Tecumseth wants to add a diesel fuel storage tank and a dust collector. The company needs to amend its existing air and noise permit to allow these changes. The equipment would release particulate matter, cement dust, and other contaminants into the air.
Why This Matters
Live or work near 21 Alderson Court in New Tecumseth? This permit could affect local air quality. The new equipment would release cement dust and particulate matter. Nearby residents may want to weigh in on whether the dust controls are adequate.
What Could Change
If approved, Greenwood Ready Mix could install a diesel fuel tank and baghouse dust collector at their concrete plant. The amended permit would set limits on emissions of particulate matter, fly ash, slag, and cement dust.
Key Issues
- Are the proposed dust controls adequate to protect local air quality?
- What are the potential impacts of adding diesel fuel storage at this site?
