Air Emissions Permit for Dana Canada Auto Parts Plant - Cambridge
Official title: Dana Canada Corporation - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Dana Canada makes heat exchangers for cars at their Cambridge plant. They're applying for a new air emissions permit that would cover all their operations—stamping, welding, brazing, and a groundwater cleanup system. The permit would allow some flexibility in how they operate, up to certain production limits.
Why This Matters
Live or work near Franklin Boulevard in Cambridge? This plant releases nitrogen oxides, mineral spirits, and nickel into the air. The permit sets limits on what they can emit. If you have concerns about local air quality, this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Dana Canada gets a single consolidated permit replacing their current approvals. They'd be allowed to modify operations within set limits without needing new permits each time. The flexibility conditions expire, so they'll need to reapply eventually.
Key Issues
- Are the proposed emission limits for nitrogen oxides, mineral spirits, and nickel adequate to protect local air quality?
- Should the facility be granted operational flexibility to modify processes without additional approvals?
