Air & Noise Permit for Concrete Plant in St. Marys
Official title: Lavis Contracting Co. Limited - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
A concrete company wants permission to operate a ready-mix plant on Water Street South in St. Marys, Ontario. The plant would release dust, silica particles, and exhaust fumes into the air. Neighbours would also hear noise from the operation.

What Could Change
