Why consultation isn't required

On April 1, 2020, the Ontario Government made a temporary regulation to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Ontario Regulation 115/20 exempts all proposals for policies, acts, regulations and instruments from posting requirements under the EBR until 30 days after the declared emergency is terminated.

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 The Electromac Group Inc. The facility uses forged tool steel and tool grade castings for tool production and steel coils for production stampings, and is located in Windsor, Ontario.

The application includes all sources at the facility, including:

  • ten (10) cold presses
  • three (3) spot welders
  • one (1) maintenance welder
  • eleven (11) natural gas fired radiant tube heaters
  • thirteen (13) natural gas fired HVAC units

Emissions to the air from this facility include:

  • nitrogen oxides
  • chromium compounds
  • iron oxide
  • nickel
  • suspended particulate matter

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 time to renew these conditions.
