Proposal details

This proposal is for an Environmental Compliance Approval with Limited Operational Flexibility (air), 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 from Northern Sun Mining Corp. for the Redstone Mill, a mill processing nickel, copper, and gold ore, located in South Porcupine, Ontario.

The proposal includes all sources at the facility, including:

  • milling
  • crushing
  • material handling
  • a warehouse
  • a core shack
  • an electrical shop
  • a mechanical shop
  • any other equipment and ancillary and support processes and activities

Emissions to the air from this facility include:

  • total suspended particulate
  • arsenic
  • cadmium
  • chromium
  • copper
  • lead
  • products of combustion such as nitrogen oxides

The Environmental Compliance Approval with Limited Operational Flexibility (air), 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).

The limited operational flexibility conditions have an expiry date. The company will be required to make an application for amendment at that Page 2 time to renew these conditions.
