Asphalt Plant Production Increase - R.W. Tomlinson, Napanee
Official title: R. W. TOMLINSON LIMITED - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
An asphalt plant near Napanee wants to double its annual production to 200,000 tonnes. The facility emits pollutants including benzene, lead, and particulate matter. Ontario is asking whether to approve this expansion.
Why This Matters
Live near County Road 2 in Napanee? This plant already releases pollutants like benzene and lead into the air. Doubling production could mean more emissions in your neighbourhood. If you're concerned about local air quality, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
If approved, R.W. Tomlinson could produce up to 200,000 tonnes of asphalt annually at this site. The permit would set new emission limits and operational conditions. The company would need to reapply when the flexibility conditions expire.
Key Issues
- Should the plant be allowed to increase production to 200,000 tonnes annually?
- Are the air emission controls adequate for the expanded operation?
