I’m concerned about the proposed extension of Site Specific Standards regarding Harsco. While I know the economic activities of Harsco is important to Hamilton for a number of reasons, I do not think that this should constitute a “free pass” and it important for industry to work towards more stringent air quality standards concerning suspended particulate matter, and manganese.

Also of concern is the timing and length of the public input period, given the timing around the Holiday Season I feel more time should be allotted to inform the public of the proposed site specific standards

My wife and I are currently expecting a child in the new year and knowing that there is a potential increased risk of cancer directly attributed to industry’s failure to meet the required timelines is unacceptable.
