Decision details
Approval has been granted for ESCO Limited to amend their registration under the Technical Standards Registry – Air Pollution (Technical Standards Registry) in respect of the Foundries – Industry Standard under the Local Air Quality Regulation (O. Reg. 419/05).
ESCO Limited is a steel foundry facility that manufactures a range of steel castings for the mining, recycling and construction industries. The facility is part of a class identified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 331514 (Steel Foundries). The amendment is for the facility to add new contaminants to their registration. Please see the supporting materials section below for the full list of registered contaminants.
Registration to a technical standard means that this facility must adhere to all technical and operational requirements in the Foundries – Industry Standard (see link to this notice) for the contaminants they are registered for.
Technical standards ensure that facilities are managing impacts on an airshed by installing best available technology. These requirements replace the air standards for the contaminants that are registered for this facility.
Registration to the Technical Standards Registry is a compliance approach under the Local Air Quality Regulation. It requires that the company demonstrate compliance on an ongoing basis through applicable technical standard requirements set out in the Foundries – Industry Standard.
Registration to the Technical Standards Registry does not exempt the facility from the requirements under section 9 of Ontario's Environmental Protection Act, which regulates alterations to plant infrastructure and processes. Therefore, a company required to install equipment under the Foundries – Industry Standard is still required to have approval under Part II.1 of Ontario's Environmental Protection Act for that equipment.
The Technical Standards Registry is available on the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks website and sets out the names of all facilities registered in the Registry.

Registration to a technical standard
Registration to a technical standard means that this facility must adhere to all technical and operational requirements in the Foundries - Industry Standard (see link to this notice) for the contaminants they are currently registered for.
Technical standards ensure that facilities are managing impacts on an airshed by installing best available technology. These requirements would replace the air standards for the contaminants that are registered for this facility.
Registration to the Technical Standards Registry is a compliance approach under the Local Air Quality Regulation. It requires that the company demonstrate compliance on an ongoing basis through applicable technical standard requirements set out in the Foundries – Industry Standard.
Registration to the Technical Standards Registry does not exempt the facility from the requirements under section 9 of the Ontario Environmental Protection Act, which regulates alterations to plant infrastructure and processes. Therefore, a company required to install equipment under the Foundries – Industry Standard is still required to have approval under Part II.1 of the Ontario Environmental Protection Act for that equipment.
The Technical Standards Registry is available on the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks’ website and sets out the names of all facilities registered in the registry.
