The Ministry should phase in more stringent limits and require actions that lead to continuous improvement so that ASI continues to work towards meeting the Reg 419 limits for both of these contaminants (benzene, suspended particulate matter,) over the next 2.5 years. Why are the timelines associated with the proposal to extend the SSSs for SPM so tight?
The Ministry should take more time to consider making the SSSs for these contaminants MORE STRINGENT over the extension period and to require updated action plans to ensure that these industrial facilities realize continuous progress with the reduction of these contaminants over the proposed extension to June 2023.
ASI's request for an SSS of 127 ug/m3 for SPM exceeds the standard of 120 ug/m3. An updated action plan to ensure SPM emission reductions should be developed.
Sault Ste Marie has one of the highest incidents for some cancers. We need a concerted effort to continuously improve our air quality.
