Air Emissions Permit for Dana Canada Manufacturing - Oakville
Official title: Dana Canada Corporation - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
Dana Canada Corporation wants to consolidate and update its air emissions permits at its Oakville manufacturing facility. The company makes thermal products and the permit would cover emissions from nickel plating, brazing, stamping, and other industrial processes. Pollutants include ammonia, fluorides, nickel, and nitrogen oxides.
Why This Matters
Live or work near Kerr Street in Oakville? This permit affects what pollutants can be released into your air. Nickel and ammonia emissions can affect air quality in the surrounding neighbourhood.
What Could Change
If approved, Dana Canada gets a single consolidated permit covering all air and noise emissions. The permit includes production limits and flexibility conditions that expire, requiring future renewals. New emission sources that weren't previously approved would become legal.
Key Issues
- Should the facility be allowed to consolidate all air emission sources under one permit?
- Are the proposed emission limits for ammonia, nickel, and fluorides adequate to protect local air quality?
- Should historically unapproved emission sources be included in the new permit?
