I live within a few km of the Lennox Generating station and DO NOT want this additional pollution to be allowed . This can directly affect my family’s health . I linked information in the website below that warns of potential health impacts . Here us a quote from that link

“Sulphur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, and sulphuric acid emissions may cause important impacts to human health, especially in combination with emissions from other industrial facilities in the area. The facility is located close to the towns of Bath and Napanee.

This is especially concerning considering the amounts of requested emissions. For example, the provincial air standard for sulphur dioxide is 690 µg/m3; in 2023, the province will be lowering this standard to only 100 µg/m3; but OPG has requested approval to emit 2026 µg/m3. That’s over 20 times higher than the standard coming into effect next summer.”

Seeing as there ate known health risks this should NOT be allowed
