1.Next door asphalt plant has license? We heard they have one from city, but city does not govern license for asphalt business. Until now we still do not know they have license or not since city confirmed there was no license for them in city’s database.
2.Noise issue, by-law Chapter 591, our property should be considered as residential area, and that senior home should be quiet zone. So it should be prohibited that equipment operation during night time, Sunday and holiday in this site. Also our tenants found in Ontario many asphalt plants are not permitted to operate in night time, why this one which is adjacent to our property and so closed to the senior home can operate 24 hours 7 days?
3.We also require MOE to test dust in our place. The MOE officers took samples on May 7 & May 8, 2015. June 22 when Karen was here, I asked test result, she said: it is hard to say the dust is from asphalt plant, it could from city garbage transfer station, from go-train, from street. I told our tenants, they were angry, some called Karen, left message, did not get call back. We disagree with what MOE said, and want to talk with MOE about this.
4.Zoning by-law this area recycling operation and storage should be within a building. The asphalt plant uses waste asphalt/concrete to make asphalt, their operation and storage are out door. Their operation and storage should not be allowed.
5.We also found next door asphalt plant use some equipment without ECA since last year, they took down one part early this year, but still use some. We do ask MOE to check their equipment with the ECA they got.
6.We found some info the asphalt plant submitted to MOE for applying ECA are not true, we want MOE to check out.
7.More important thing is: at the beginning when they applied for their first ECA, surrounding land use info was incorrect, they were/are too closed to sensitive land use, even too closed to municipal zoned residential area. The ECA should not be issued.
8.Ontario Environmental Protection Act Section 14 prohibits any discharge of contaminants into the natural environment if those contaminants cause or may cause an adverse effect. The EPA defines “adverse effect” as one or more of:
(a) impairment of the quality of the natural environment for any use that can be made of it,
(b) injury or damage to property or to plant or animal life,
(c) harm or material discomfort to any person,
(d) an adverse effect on the health of any person,
(e) impairment of the safety of any person,
(f) rendering any property or plant or animal life unfit for human use,
(g) loss of enjoyment of normal use of property, and
(h) interference with the normal conduct of business.
The above adverse effects can be found in our property easily. We disagree MOE says it’s already proved their operation no adverse effect.
