Levels of suspended particulate matter coming from the facility are modelled at 76% of the Ministry of Environment maximum allowable emission level. The modelled levels are very close to the actual limit, warranting a call for actual monitoring to determine how high these levels really are.

I am a retired employee of a company that supplied mechanicals seals to Bartek Chemicals at one time.
As they are a chemical plant there were buying seals that never should have been used for chemical service we as a company even told them so.

This means they know, they will exceed the levels. If you are confident in your controls engineering, you really do not need variances in advance.
They made promises, they should keep them.
This plant should not be allowed in Hamilton, The Air is already filled with pollution from the steel plants and has some of the worse smog and air quality in Hamilton due to the amount of factories and plants pumping out unsafe materials.

The neighborhood has been changing for years. There are more and more homes being built, not industrial companies in the area. I do not approve of re-approval of the application based on estimates emissions provided by Bartek.

Allowing permits on projected emmisions as close to the limits as Bartek Ingredients ltd. is a recipe for disaster and long term adverse health effect on residents. We should be strengthening our environmental protection laws and enforcing current ones. Sound pollution is also a deadly killer.
Anything that could potentially harm families and residents in the area should not be passed. The water in Stoney Creek already has high levels of minerals and chemicals. I hope the city will take the current levels into serious consideration before proceeding.
Please think about the community of Stoney Creek when considering this proposal. We are a family community. We have children, schools, trails, parks and senior homes. We want to breathe fresh air, clean of chemicals!

Please reconsider this proposal, based on lack of information effecting young children and their development. If actual levels were reported, if more were known about the leak and its effects on the environment and interaction with natural resources, we could feel safe.

I don't want Bartek to be allowed to pollute more than they already do, not in my city, not in any city. And in terms of any emissions- we want actual monitoring. Daily results available online to all residents of Stoney Creek and Hamilton.

As a resident of Stoney Creek, mother of four and high school teacher I am gravely concerned about the levels at which Bartek has been allowed to operate at.

My family home is 1.2km of the facility and I have great concerns about the levels of suspended particulate matter coming from the facility are modelled at 76% of the Ministry of Environment maximum allowable emission level.

We have enough pollution from the steel plant, please do not approve this proposal. The long term effects of the pollution and the population is not worth the financial gain. This same mistake was made with the steel plant and we are still living with the repercussions.
It is imperative that our local environment is prioritized Actual levels of contaminants, not projections must be monitored. To do otherwise is to open the door to manipulation for businesses to prioritize their bottom line above the health of the environment and their community
Much of the environmental work at both bartek locations has been rife with falsifications. All previous ECA submissions should be reviewed in detail and all emissions monitored. For decades, spills have not been reported and have been covered up.
