We have granted approval to D.Crupi & Sons Limited to be registered in the Technical Standards Registry – Air Pollution (Technical Standards Registry) in respect of the Asphalt Mix – Industry Standard under the Local Air Quality Regulation (O. Reg. 419/05).

D. Crupi & Sons Limited is an asphalt mix plant that produces paving asphalt and is located at 176 Bethridge Road, in Toronto, Ontario. The facility is part of a class identified the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 324121, Asphalt Paving Mixture and Block Manufacturing. D. Crupi & Sons Limited is registered with respect to benzo(a)pyrene, metals, combustion gases, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. A full list of contaminants is provided in the link below titled "Registration Approval".

Registration to a technical standard

Registration to a technical standard means that this facility must adhere to all technical and operational requirements in the Asphalt Mix - Industry Standard for benzo(a)pyrene, metals, combustion gases, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

Technical standards ensure that facilities are managing impacts on an airshed by installing best available technology. These requirements replace the air standards for the registered contaminants for the facility.

Registration to the Technical Standards Registry is a compliance approach under the Local Air Quality Regulation. It requires that the company demonstrate compliance on an ongoing basis through applicable technical standard requirements set out in the Asphalt Mix – Industry Standard.

Registration to the Technical Standards Registry does not exempt the facility from the requirements under section 9 of the Ontario Environmental Protection Act, which regulates alterations to plant infrastructure and processes. Therefore, a company required to install equipment under the Asphalt Mix – Industry Standard is still required to have approval under Part II.1 of the Ontario Environmental Protection Act for that equipment.

The Technical Standards Registry is available on the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks website and sets out the names of all facilities registered in the Registry.
