Détails de la décision

An Environmental Compliance Approval with Limited Operational Flexibility (air) was granted to BWXT Medical Ltd. (previously known as BWXT ITG Canada Inc.). The company manufactures radioisotopes for medical use and shares the site with another company that also manufactures radioisotopes.

The approval includes all air and noise emission sources of the facility including:

  • medical isotope manufacturing areas
  • Nuclear Ventilation System (NVS) and stacks for BWXT Medical Ltd. active area operations
  • natural gas fired steam boilers
  • glass blowing laboratory
  • metal fabrication area
  • a heating recirculator

Emissions to the air from this facility include:

  • nitrogen oxides
  • suspended particulate matter
  • metals such as manganese, cobalt and molybdenum

The Environmental Compliance Approval with Limited Operational Flexibility (air) requires that the company demonstrates compliance on an ongoing basis with:

  • Ontario Regulation 419/05
  • applicable ministry guidelines for air and noise
  • other performance requirements as specified in their conditions

It permits modifications such as process changes, de-bottlenecking or addition of new equipment, subject to limits on operational flexibility, that include a production limit for the facility specified in the approval.

The limited operational flexibility conditions have a 10 years expiry date. The company is required to make an application for amendment at that time to renew these conditions. Of specific public interest, one condition that is included in the approval requires the company to make available, at all times, at the facility for inspection by interested members of the public a table (Emission Summary Table) that documents the facility’s compliance with Ontario Regulation 419/05.

For instrument decisions published on or after June 1, 2021, please refer to the updated instructions for information on how to appeal a decision.

Appeal process for decisions published before June 1, 2021

If you’re an Ontario resident, you can start the process to appeal this instrument decision.

First, you’ll need to seek leave (i.e. get permission) from the relevant appellate body to appeal the decision.

If the appellate body grants leave, the appeal itself will follow.

Seek leave to appeal

To seek leave to appeal, you need to do these three things:

  1. prepare your application
  2. provide notice to the minister
  3. mail your application to three parties

1. Prepare your application

You’ll need to prepare an application. You may wish to include the following things in your application:

  1. A document that includes:
    • your name, phone number, fax number (if any), and/or email address
    • the ERO number and ministry reference number (located on this page)
    • a statement about whether you are a resident in Ontario
    • your interest in the decision, and any facts you want taken into account in deciding whether you have an interest in the decision
    • the parts of the instrument that you’re challenging
    • whether the decision could result in significant harm to the environment
    • the reason(s) why you believe that no reasonable person – having regard to the relevant law and to any government policies developed to guide decisions of that kind – could have made the decision
    • the grounds (facts) you’ll be using to appeal
    • the outcome you’d like to see
  2. A copy of the instrument (approval, permit, order) that you you are seeking leave to appeal. You’ll find this in the decision notice on the Environmental Registry
  3. Copies of all supporting documents, facts and evidence that you’ll be using to appeal
What is considered

The appeal body will consider the following two questions in deciding whether to grant you leave to appeal:

  1. is there is good reason to believe that no reasonable person, with respect to the relevant law and to any government policies developed to guide decisions of that kind, could have made the decision?
  2. could the decision you wish to appeal result in significant harm to the environment?

2. Provide your notice

You’ll need to provide notice to the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks that you’re seeking leave to appeal.

In your notice, please include a brief description of the:

  • decision that you wish to appeal
  • grounds for granting leave to appeal

The facility manufactures and exports radioisotopes including medical isotopes and also shares the site with another company that also manufactures and exports radioisotopes and medical isotopes.

Approval is sought for the operation of medical isotope manufacturing systems and equipment served by Nuclear Ventilation System (NVS) exhaust stacks for BWXT active area operations, natural gas fired steam boilers; glass blowing laboratory, metal fabrication area and a heating recirculator.

Emissions to the air from this facility include nitrogen oxides, suspended particulate matter and metals such as manganese, cobalt and molybdenum.

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.
