Air Emissions Permit Renewal for Stainless Steel Foundry in Elmira
Official title: Precise Castings Ltd. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Precise Castings Ltd. wants to renew its air and noise permit for a stainless steel casting facility in Elmira, Ontario. The factory releases chromium, manganese, nickel, and other particles into the air during manufacturing. This renewal would extend their "limited operational flexibility" approval, which sets production limits and requires future renewals.
Why This Matters
Live near Elmira? This factory releases metals like chromium and nickel into the air you breathe. The permit renewal decides what emission limits apply for the next period. Neighbours concerned about air quality should weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, Precise Castings can continue operating under set production limits. The permit specifies what air contaminants they can release and at what levels. Conditions will have an expiry date requiring future renewal applications.
Key Issues
- Should the air and noise emissions permit be renewed for this stainless steel foundry?
- Are the production limits and emission controls adequate to protect local air quality?
