Mobile Crushing Plant Permit for Day By Day Excav8 Inc.
Official title: Day By Day Excav8 Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
A company wants approval to operate a mobile rock crushing and screening plant anywhere in Ontario. The equipment could run 12 hours a day, every day of the year. It would release dust, silica, and exhaust fumes into the air.
Why This Matters
This mobile plant could show up near any community in Ontario. It releases crystalline silica—a known health hazard—plus dust and diesel exhaust. If you live near gravel pits or construction sites, this could affect your air quality.
What Could Change
If approved, this company could operate its crushing equipment province-wide without needing site-specific permits. The approval would set limits on emissions including particulate matter and crystalline silica.
Key Issues
- Should this mobile crushing plant be allowed to operate anywhere in Ontario?
- Are the proposed emission limits adequate to protect nearby communities?
- Is 12 hours per day, 7 days per week operation acceptable?
