Soil Recycling Facility Expansion - 550 Bowes Road, Vaughan
Official title: Intelligent Soil Recycling Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)
A soil recycling company in Vaughan wants to upgrade its equipment to process more material. The facility at 550 Bowes Road already handles up to 234,000 tonnes of soil per year, separating sand and gravel for reuse. This amendment would add dry soil washing capabilities and improve sorting equipment.
Why This Matters
Live or work near Bowes Road in Vaughan? This facility already operates 24 hours a day. More processing capacity could mean more truck traffic and noise. If you have concerns about dust, noise, or traffic in the area, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
If approved, the facility could install new processing equipment for higher throughput and add dry soil washing capabilities. The current limits of 1,000 cubic metres per day and 234,000 tonnes per year would remain, but equipment changes could affect operations.
Key Issues
- Should the facility be allowed to upgrade processing equipment for higher throughput?
- Should dry soil washing capabilities be added to the facility?
- Are there concerns about impacts on the surrounding Vaughan neighbourhood?
