Concrete Plant Expansion Permit - Marentette Avenue, Windsor
Official title: 2629045 Ontario Limited - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Tilbury Concrete wants to increase production at its Windsor facility on Marentette Avenue. The company is also adding dust collectors and upgrading its heating equipment. Emissions include nitrogen oxides, cement dust, and crystalline silica.
Why This Matters
Live near Marentette Avenue in Windsor? This concrete plant wants to produce more. That means more truck traffic and potentially more dust in the air. Crystalline silica is a known health concern for nearby residents.
What Could Change
If approved, the facility could increase its maximum production capacity. New dust collectors would be installed, which could reduce particulate emissions. The Ministry may impose conditions on operating hours or emission limits.
Key Issues
- Should the concrete plant be allowed to increase its production capacity?
- Are the proposed dust collectors adequate to protect air quality?
- What are the health risks from crystalline silica emissions for nearby residents?
