Détails de la décision
An Environmental Compliance Approval with Limited Operational Flexibility (air & noise) which replaces all the current Environmental Compliance Approvals for air at this facility and includes the addition of new or historically unapproved sources for all emissions has been granted to Bartek Ingredients Inc. for a chemical manufacturing facility including the production of malic and fumaric acid located in Stoney Creek, City of Hamilton, Ontario.
The approval includes all sources at the facility, including manufacturing operations including storage tanks, dust collectors, maintenance activities, and process and non-process sources of combustion.
Emissions to the air from this facility include fumaric acid, maleic anhydride, malic acid, sodium hydroxide, carbon, chromium, potassium oxide, fluorides, nitrogen oxides, and suspended particulate matter.
The Environmental Compliance Approval with Limited Operational Flexibility (air & noise), when issued permits modifications to the facility subject to limits on operational flexibility that include a production limit for the facility to be specified on the Environmental Compliance Approval with Limited Operational Flexibility (air & noise). The limited operational flexibility conditions have an expiry date. The company will be required to make an application for amendment at that time to renew these conditions.
Effets de la consultation
The commenters expressed general concerns related to air and noise emissions from the facility. Additionally, the commenters expressed concerns about maintenance requirements and suggested to implement an air quality monitoring program by the facility and to perform source testing for suspended particulate matter.
Ministry response on air concerns
Proposals for Environmental Compliance Approval for air and noise (ECA) undergo detailed technical review to determine whether or not they comply with the requirements related to Section 9 of the Environmental Protection Act (s.9 EPA). Approvals are only issued if all of these requirements are satisfied.
The application satisfies requirements set in s.9 EPA and complies with Regulation 419/05 point of impingement concentration (POI) limits.
Comments received were reviewed and where appropriate were considered in the ministry's decision whether or not to proceed with the proposal. In this case, the comments are consistent with concerns within the ministry and as a result terms and conditions have been added.
The terms and conditions do not represent all conditions in the ECA, but are those related to the comments on the proposal.
Given the above and inherent limitations/complexities of an ambient air monitoring program/source testing, an air monitoring/source testing program was not necessary.
Ministry response on noise concerns
To verify that compliance with the Ministry noise guidelines has been achieved after installation all of measures set in Noise Abatement Action Plan, ECA requires to submit an acoustic audit report by an Independent Acoustical Consultant no later than nine (9) months following the issuance of this ECA.

If you’re an Ontario resident, you can start the process to appeal this instrument decision.
