Asphalt mix - Industry standard

On this page Skip this page navigation

Version 1.0 Created October 27, 2020

Preamble

This technical standard is an industry standard for the purposes of O. Reg. 419/05 (Air Pollution – Local Air Quality) made under the Environmental Protection Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.19.
With respect to facilities, this industry standard applies to facilities that are part of a class identified by NAICS code 324121 (Asphalt paving mixture and block manufacturing) and are not engaged in manufacturing blocks from purchased asphalt, bituminous materials or coal tar or blending asphalt cement and other materials but not producing asphalt mix. This industry standard can apply to a facility that includes more than one asphalt mix plant.
With respect to contaminants, this industry standard applies to contaminants listed in Appendix 9-A (All Contaminants). A person who registers on the Ministry’s Technical Standards Registry – Air Pollution in respect of a portable asphalt mix facility however may not register in respect of the contaminant listed in Appendix 9-E (Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM)). If an asphalt mix facility is located on the same property as activities that are not associated with NAICS code 324121, the person registered in respect of the facility also may not register in respect of the contaminant listed in Appendix 9-E (Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM)).
Each source of contaminant associated with NAICS code 324121 that discharges a contaminant mentioned in the above bullet has been considered in development of this industry standard. As such, a person that meets the criteria set out in subsection 42 (1) or subsection 44 (1) of O. Reg. 419/05 is, in general, exempt from Part II of the Regulation in respect of the facility and the contaminant(s) for which it is registered. In other words, there is no need to model, in a facility’s Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling report, discharges of a registered contaminant from any source of contaminant associated with NAICS code 324121. (For more information, please see the Introduction to the Technical Standards to Manage Air Pollution.)
If a facility includes the activities identified by NAICS code 324121 and activities identified by another NAICS code, such as NAICS code 2123 (Non-metallic mineral mining and quarrying), then the facility is part of two or more classes, and this industry standard applies only to one. As such, a person that meets the criteria set out in subsection 42 (4) of O. Reg. 419/05 who uses an approved dispersion model is, in general, not required to consider a source of contaminant that is in the part of the facility identified by NAICS code 324121.
This standard contains requirements that relate to sources of contaminant associated with the following:
- mixing structures and asphalt mix drag conveyors, storage silo transfer conveyors, and storage silo batchers
- asphalt cement storage tanks
- asphalt mix storage silos
- the storage and handling of aggregate and recycled asphalt pavement
- the crushing and screening of recycled asphalt pavement
- roads
- dryers, hot oil burners and generators
In accordance with subsection 38 (3) of O. Reg. 419/05, compliance with this industry standard, in accordance with subsection 42 (5), may reduce the regulatory burden applicable to facilities identified by NAICS code 324121 that discharge a contaminant listed in Appendix 9-A (All Contaminants) and for which compliance with section 20 of the O. Reg. 419/05 would otherwise be required.
In making this technical standard, it is the Minister’s opinion that:
1. with respect to at least two facilities located in Ontario identified by NAICS code 324121 that discharge benzo(a)pyrene, it is not technically feasible to comply with section 20 of O. Reg. 419/05;
2. compliance, in accordance with subsection 42 (5) of O. Reg. 419/05, with this industry standard:
  1. is technically and economically feasible with respect to at least one facility located in Ontario to which this industry standard applies, and
  2. will permit efforts that would otherwise be made to comply with section 20 of O. Reg. 419/05 to be put to better use to protect the natural environment, having regard to clause (a); and
3. including this industry standard in the “Technical Standards to Manage Air Pollution” is more efficient than having the Director consider separate requests under section 32 of O. Reg. 419/05 to set site-specific standards for the contaminant that would otherwise apply to facilities in the class.
