Official title: CM Greenfield Power Corp. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
A natural gas power plant near Courtright, Ontario wants to renew its air emissions permit and add new equipment. The facility releases nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other pollutants from its turbines and generators. They're also adding an abrasive blasting unit and updating three combustion turbines.
