Temporary Concrete Plant Proposed Near Ottawa Airport - 4788 Albion Rd
Official title: Albion Concrete Plant
The Ottawa Airport Authority and Cavanaugh Concrete want to build a temporary concrete plant at 4788 Albion Road. The facility would produce up to 350,000 tonnes of concrete per year. It would receive sand and gravel, store materials, and operate cement silos with dust collectors.
Why This Matters
Live or work near the Ottawa airport? This plant could mean more truck traffic on Albion Road. Dust and noise from concrete operations might affect nearby homes and businesses.
What Could Change
If approved, a 375 square metre concrete facility would operate on airport lands. The plant would be temporary, though the duration isn't specified. Dust collection systems would be required.
Key Issues
- Should a temporary concrete plant be permitted near the Ottawa airport?
- What dust and air quality controls should be required?
