Effets de la consultation

Four comments were received during the posting period. All comments expressed concerns about potential odour emissions from the facility operations and one comment expressed concerns about potential high level of PM and NOx concentrations.

Our response

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 submitted proposal, including updated Odour Abatement Plan to reduce odour emissions from the site, satisfies requirements set in s.9 EPA.

Comments received were reviewed and where appropriate were considered in our decision whether or not to proceed with this proposal. In this case, the comments are consistent with concerns within the Ministry and as a result terms and conditions such as; implementation of the Odour Abatement Plan and source testing of the proposed generators sets to verify emission rates, 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.

Based on the proposal and implementation of proposed measures, the facility is capable to operate and would not cause an adverse effect related to fugitive odour emissions from the site.
