Anyone live near one?
There is one being proposed up here just outside of Thunder Bay by a company name Orion. They supposedly also have one or more in operation around Etobicoke.
Just curious about particulate fallout or other issues near the facility that you may have experienced - or not!
To clarify, these are the facilities that take non-hazardous garbage and break it down, resulting in syn-gas, oil and other by-products.
With modern rules, I wouldn't worry....
Most of the emissions/by-products are not a big deal to me, however, as I am within 10km from the proposed location, the particulate emissions may be a concern.
Move upwind.
I wouldn't worry about it - once Trump starts upping the burning coal again you won't be able to distinguish the particulate from that small plant from the particulate coming up there from down here - see there is always a happy solution to any problem -
Good to not hear about anyone having had any issue living near one so far.
Of course once Wynne gets involved all bets are off....
Stack scrubber technology is quite good. Unless someone does something moronic or negligent, then I don't think we'll have to worry as much about coal-generators spewing mass amounts of particulate in the air. I guess it depends on when and how the EPA requirements kick in there.Quote:

Of course, maybe this will be a new Provincial initiative. Make it mandatory for all municipalities to process their waste, so that we can stop misusing so much arable land - just to stuff people's junk in.
