Executive Summary
This Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling (ESDM) Report was prepared to support an amendment to the current Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) No. 4483-7T2P53, issued July 25, 2009. The amendment is to include new and previously unapproved equipment and potential sources of air emissions.
This ESDM Report was prepared in accordance with s.26 of Ontario Regulation (O. Reg.) 419/05. In addition, guidance in the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) publication "Procedure for Preparing and Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report" dated March 2018 (ESDM Procedure Document) was followed as appropriate.
Triple M operates a metal recycling yard at 799 Parkdale Avenue North in Hamilton, Ontario. The facility consists of a cyclone emissions control system associated with the facility's shredder, a slag screening plant and oxy-propane torch cutting. The Facility also includes a fuel storage tanks, maintenance welding and fugitive emissions from onsite roads and storage piles.
The NAICS code that applies to this Facility is 418110 – Recyclable Metal Merchant Wholesalers. The ESDM Report has been prepared using Section 20 of Ontario Regulation 419/05. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) atmospheric dispersion model AERMOD was used and the Facility's compliance was assessed using Schedule 3 of O. Reg. 419/05.
The maximum POI concentrations were calculated based on the Operating Conditions where all significant sources are operating simultaneously at their individual maximum rates of production. The maximum emission rates from the significant sources were calculated in accordance with s.11 of O. Reg. 419/05 and the data quality assessment follows the process outlined in the requirements of the ESDM Procedure Document.
The POI concentration was calculated based on the calculated emission rates and the output from the approved dispersion model; the results are presented in the following Emission Summary Table in accordance with s.26 of O. Reg. 419/05.
The POI concentrations listed in the Emission Summary Tables were compared against criteria listed in the MECP Air Contaminants Benchmarks (ACB) List: Standards, Guidelines, and Screening Levels for Assessing POI Concentrations of Air Contaminants dated April 2018.
All of the predicted POI concentrations for contaminants listed in the Emission Summary Table that are included in the List of MECP POI Limits, are below the corresponding limits.
The following table summarizes the emissions sources and dispersion modelling results for the Facility. The Facility is expected to emit particulate matter, metals, and products of combustion. Some of the sources were considered negligible in accordance with s.8 of O. Reg. 419/05.

1.1 Purpose and Scope of ESDM Report
This ESDM Report has been prepared to support an amendment to the current Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) No. 4483-7T2P53, which was issued on July 25, 2009 and is provided in Appendix C.
This ESDM Report was prepared in accordance with s.26 of O. Reg. 419/05 and guidance in the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) publication "Procedure for Preparing an Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report" dated March 2018 (ESDM Procedure Document) PIBS 3614e04.1.
1.2 Description of Processes and NAICS Codes
Triple M operates a metal recycling yard. The NAICS code that applies to this Facility is 418110 – Recyclable Metal Merchant Wholesalers. The Facility collects post-consumer metal products and shreds and processes them for sale. The facility consists of a cyclone emissions control system associated with the facility's shredder, a slag screening plant and oxy-propane torch cutting. The Facility also includes fuel storage tanks, maintenance welding, and fugitive emissions from onsite roads and storage piles.
The Facility process is further described below:
1.2.1 Shredding
The shredder line processes primarily auto bodies composed of low-grade carbon steel at a maximum capacity of 300 tonnes/hour. The shredder typically operates from 12 hours per day Monday to Friday with an occasional additional shift on Saturday.
GHD | Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report | 11201621 (2) | Page 2
The shredder line shreds and separates scrap material and uses a combination of magnetic separation, air separation, and non-magnetic separation to recover ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The shredding operation is electrically powered and is equipped with a cyclone for emissions controls.
Emissions for the shredder are based on a validated source test completed in June 2005. This unit was source tested as a requirement of the ECA. The results were submitted to the MECP in a report titled Poscor Shred Services Crop Hamilton, Ontario - Stack Testing Program Report, Parkdale Site, and is included in Appendix F.
Shredding
The scrap material is loaded by crane onto a manually controlled, variable speed, inclined conveyor. The conveyor directs the material through a small feed chute into two hydraulic double feed rolls. These feed rolls press and compact the material prior to shredding. The enclosed shredding chamber consists of a shaft hung with a series of hammers. These hammers rotate to shred the incoming material until it passes through an enclosed grate, which sits below the shredding chamber.
A small quantity of municipal water is sprayed into the chamber. The primary purpose of the water is to control the temperature in the chamber. A secondary benefit of the water is to dampen the materials and reducing the dust generated during the shredding process.
Once through the enclosed grate, the material drops onto a partially enclosed vibrating table. This table spreads the material onto an inclined conveyor ready for the separation stages (i.e., magnetic, air and non-magnetic).
Magnetic Separation
The material from the inclined conveyor leaving the shredding stage passes through a chute and onto a vibrating table to spread out the material and into an axial pole drum magnet to separate out the non-magnetic material.
The non-magnetic material, which constitutes approximately 25% of the original feed, is fed via conveyor to a second drum magnet, which recovers any magnetic material that was missed by the magnet. The recovered magnetic material is then returned to the original feed stream. The non-ferrous metal mixture is shipped off-site for further processing.
The magnetic material still contains a small portion of non-magnetic materials. This material passes through a chute and onto a conveyor to the classifier in the Air Separation stage.
Air Separation
In the classifier (z-box), the magnetic material is separated from the remaining non-magnetic material based on density. Incoming air forces the lighter non-magnetic impurities to be blown upward into a cyclone, while the magnetic material falls down to a conveyor.
The magnetic material then proceeds to an enclosed room where manual picking separates copper pieces from the steel. The remaining steel is then dropped onto a final conveyor to be stockpiled for shipping to the steel mills.
GHD | Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report | 11201621 (2) | Page 3
The lighter non-magnetic material passes into a cyclone where it is separated from the classifier air stream. This material is conveyed and dropped onto the non-magnetic conveyor stream, joining the non-ferrous by-product material separated by the magnet in the Magnetic Separation stage.
Approximately 75% of the clean air from the cyclone is recycled back to the classifier, with the remaining 25% is emitted to atmosphere.
1.2.2 Slag Metal Recovery
The slag screening plant is an ancillary process that operates during the daytime only and approximately 2 to 3 hours at a time with a maximum processing rate of 100 tonnes per day.
Material Receiving and Sorting
Raw material is delivered to the site by truck and stored on-site in a surge pile next to the 3-stage screener. A magnetic crane is used to pre-sort the raw material and remove large pieces (greater than 8 inches into a separate pile. Triple M receives a maximum of 2 trucks per day of raw material containing approximately 34 tonnes per truck.
Screening
A front-end loader transfers partially sorted raw material from the surge pile into a hopper that feeds to an inclined conveyor, which transfers the material to a 3-stage screening process.
The primary screen collects pieces between 4 – 8 inches onto a conveyor, which then separates the ferrous from the non-ferrous component using a magnetic drum. These components are stored in separate stockpiles.
The secondary screen collects pieces between 1 – 4 inches and sorts them into ferrous and non-ferrous components using a second magnetic drum. These components are stored in separate stockpiles. Unders (less than 1") from the secondary screen are conveyed via two conveyors to the tertiary screen.
Overs (1/4" – 1") from the tertiary screen are sorted into ferrous and non-ferrous components using a third magnetic drum. These components are stored in separate stockpiles. Unders (less than ¼") from the tertiary screen drop onto a conveyor that creates a final pile composed of ferrous and non-ferrous fines.
All material drop points to equipment are enclosed on three sides and on top, while material drop points to stockpiles are controlled by a chute. The potential air emissions from the storage piles are managed by the Facility's Fugitive Dust Best Management Practices Plan.
Shipping
Following screening and stockpiling, a front end loader transfers all material from the slag metal recovery area into trucks for shipping.
GHD | Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report | 11201621 (2) | Page 4
1.2.3 Oxy-Propane Metal Cutting
Oxy-propane metal cutting involves the cutting of various billets of steel with hand-held oxy-propane torches. The steel billets are heated by the torch flame, forming a solid slag residue along the cutting edge. Metal cutting activities take place along the northern portion of the site, as shown in Figure 3.
1.2.4 Repair Welding
Repair welding is performed on an as required basis within the shredder line area in the maintenance building. Typical electrodes E7018 and E6013 used in the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) are consumed.
1.2.5 Comfort Heating
Comfort heating in the office and maintenance building is electrically powered. Therefore, there are no emissions from comfort heating.
1.3 Description of Products and Raw Materials
The facility receives shipments of post consumer scrap metals (including vehicle and non-vehicle sources), shreds and separates waste materials from multiple sources. Materials are sorted according to type, and sold to manufacturers.
Product usages and process information are provided in greater detail in Appendix A. Refer to Table 1, which tabulates the individual sources of emissions at the Facility.
1.4 Process Flow Diagram
Refer to Figure 4 for a graphical representation of the Facility processes.
1.5 Operating Schedule
The Facility operates from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Friday, all year round. The facility may, on occasion, work longer hours or operate on weekends.
1.6 Facility Production Limit
The Facility's maximum total material shredded is 860,000 tonnes per year.
The Facility's maximum slag screening rate is 36,500 tonnes per year.
2. Initial Identification of Sources and Contaminants
This section provides an initial identification of all of the sources and contaminants emitted at the Facility, as required by subparagraphs 2 to 4 of s.26 (1) of O. Reg. 419/05.
There may be general ventilation from the Facility that only discharges uncontaminated air from the workspaces or air from the workspace that may include contaminants that come from commercial
GHD | Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report | 11201621 (2) | Page 5
office supplies, building maintenance products or supplies and activities; these types of ventilation sources are considered to be negligible and were not identified as sources at the Facility.
It should be noted that general ventilation located in the process area that does not vent process emissions is also considered negligible.
2.1 Sources and Contaminants Identification Table
Table 1 tabulates all the emission sources at the Facility. Table 1 provides the information required for sub paragraphs 2 to 4 of s.26 (1) of O. Reg. 419/05.
The expected contaminants emitted from each source are also identified in Table 1. Each of the identified sources has been assigned a source reference number.
The location of the discharges from each of the sources is presented on Figure 3. The location of each of the sources is specified with the source reference number.
3. Assessment of Significance of Sources and Contaminants
This section provides an explanation for each source identified as negligible in Table 1, as required by subparagraph 5 of s.26(1) of O. Reg. 419/05.
In Accordance with s.8 of O. Reg. 419/05, emission rate calculations and dispersion modelling does not have to be performed for emissions from negligible sources or for the emission of negligible contaminants from significant sources.
3.1 Identification of Negligible Contaminants and Sources
Each negligible source is identified in Table 1 – Sources and Contaminants Identification Table. The remaining sources are significant. These sources will be included in the dispersion modelling for the site.
3.2 Rationale for Assessment
For each source or contaminant in Table 1 that has been identified as being negligible there is an accompanying documented rationale. The technical information required to substantiate the argument that each of the identified sources or contaminants is negligible is presented in Appendix C – Supporting Information for Assessment of Negligibility.
4. Operating Conditions, Emissions Estimating and Data Quality
This section provides a description of the operating conditions used in the calculation of the emission estimates and an assessment of the data quality of the emission estimates for each significant contaminant from the facility as required by sub paragraphs 6 and 7 of s.26 (1) of
GHD | Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report | 11201621 (2) | Page 6
O. Reg. 419/05. In accordance with s.8 of O. Reg. 419/05, emission rate calculations and dispersion modelling does not have to be performed for emissions from negligible sources or for the emission of negligible contaminants from significant sources.
4.1 Description of Operating Conditions
Section 10 of O. Reg. 419/05 states that an acceptable operating condition is a scenario that assumes operating conditions for the Facility that would result, for the relevant contaminant, in the highest concentration of the contaminant at POI that the Facility is capable of, the operating condition described in this ESDM Report meets this requirement.
The averaging time for the operating condition is based on the applicable averaging times for each contaminant. The operating condition used for this Facility that results in the maximum concentration at a POI is the scenario where all significant sources are operating simultaneously at their individual maximum rates of production. The individual maximum rates of production for each significant source of emissions correspond to the maximum emission rate during the appropriate averaging time. The individual maximum rates of production for each significant source of emissions are explicitly described in Appendix B.
4.2 Explanation of The Methods Used to Calculate Emission Rates
The maximum emission rates for each significant contaminant emitted from the significant sources were calculated in accordance with requirements of the ESDM Procedure Document.
The emission rate for each significant contaminant emitted from a significant source was estimated and the methodology for the calculation is documented in Table 2.
4.3 Sample Calculations
The technical rationale, including sample calculations, required to substantiate the emission rates presented in Table 2, is documented in Appendix A.
4.4 Assessment of Data Quality
This section provides a description of the assessment of the data quality of the emission estimates for each significant contaminant from the facility.
The assessment of the data quality of the emission rate estimates for each significant contaminant emitted from the significant sources was performed in accordance with the requirements of sub paragraph 7iii of s.26 (1) of O. Reg. 419/05.
For each contaminant the emission rate was estimated and the data quality of the estimate is documented in Table 2. The assessment of data quality for each source listed in Table 2 is documented in Appendix A.
All emission rates listed in Table 2 are documented as having the highest available data quality and correspond to an operating scenario where all significant sources are operating simultaneously at their individual maximum rates of production. Therefore, emission rate estimates listed in Table 2
GHD | Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report | 11201621 (2) | Page 7
are not likely to be an underestimate of the actual emission rates and use of these emission rates will result in an estimated concentration at POI greater than actual concentrations.
5. Source Summary Table and Site Plan
This section provides the table required by sub paragraph 8 and the site plan required by sub paragraph 9 of s.26 (1) of O. Reg. 419/05.
5.1 Source Summary Table

6. Dispersion Modelling
This section provides a description of how the dispersion modelling was conducted at the Facility to calculate the maximum concentration at a POI.
The dispersion modelling was conducted in accordance with the ministry publication "Air Dispersion Modelling Guideline for Ontario" PIBS 5165e03 (The ADMGO). A general description of the input data used in the dispersion model is provided below and summarized in Table 3.
Since the Facility is subject to s.20 of O. Reg. 419/05, compliance has been assessed using the AERMOD dispersion model and the standards listed in Schedule 3 of O. Reg. 419/05. Air dispersion modelling was performed following the MECP document "Air Dispersion Modelling Guideline for Ontario, Version 3.0", PIBS 5165e03.
The AERMOD modelling system has been identified by the MECP as one of the approved dispersion models under O. Reg. 419/05, and currently includes the Plume Rise Model Enhancements (PRIME) algorithms for assessing the effects of buildings on air dispersion.
The AERMOD modelling system is made up of the AERMOD dispersion model, the AERMET meteorological pre-processor and the AERMAP terrain pre-processor. The following approved dispersion model and pre-processors were used in the assessment:
• AERMOD dispersion model (v. 19191)
• AERMAP surface pre-processor (v. 11103)
• BPIP building downwash pre-processor (v. 04274)
The Facility sources were modelled as point sources. A summary of the AERMOD source input parameters is provided in Appendix D.
AERMET was not used in this assessment, as a pre-processed MECP meteorological dataset was used.
The emission rates used in the dispersion model meet the requirements of Section 11(1) 1 of O. Reg. 419/05, which requires that the emission rate used in the dispersion model is at least as high as the maximum emission rate that the source of contaminant is reasonably capable of for the relevant contaminant. These emission rates are further described in Appendix B.
There is no child care facility, health care facility, senior's residence, long-term care facility, or an education facility located at the Facility. Furthermore, the nearest POI is located greater than 5 metres from the building on which the point of emissions are located. As such, same structure contamination was not considered.
6.1 Dispersion Modelling Input Summary Table
A description of how the approved dispersion model was performed is included in Table 3. This table meets both the requirements of s.26 (1) 11 and sections 8-17 of O. Reg. 419/05 and follows the format provided in the ESDM Procedure Document.
GHD | Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report | 11201621 (2) | Page 9
6.2 Coordinate System
The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system, as per Section 5.2.2 of the ADMGO, was used to specify model object sources, buildings and receptors. All coordinates were defined in the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83).
All sources and buildings are provided on Figure 3 and the property line coordinates are provided on Figure 3.
6.3 Meteorology and Land Use Zoning Plan
Triple M is located near a large body of water, approximately 1 km from Lake Ontario and is therefore required to use a site-specific meteorological dataset. The MECP issued approval under O. Reg. 419/05 Paragraph 3 of section 13(1) along with the pre-processed site-specific meteorological data set (2014 – 2018) using upper air data from the US National Weather Service's Buffalo station and surface data from the Environment and Climate Change Canada's (ECCC's) Burlington Piers station with cloud cover data from the Hamilton airport station.
A land use zoning plan is provided on Figure 2, which illustrates the extents of the Site property boundary and provides the zoning of adjacent land uses. The Site is located in a General Industrial zoned area that is surrounded by industrial and park zones. The nearest residential zoned land is located approximately 420 m southeast of the Facility, on Brighton Ave.
6.4 Terrain
AERMOD captures the essential physics of dispersion in complex terrain though the use of a separate height scale factor for each receptor (USEPA, 1998 – AERMAP UG). The highest scale factor represents the terrain that would dominate flow in the vicinity of the receptor.
The height scale factor that is used by AERMOD is generated by a AERMAP terrain pre-processor. AERMAP utilizes terrain data, or Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data in conjunction with a layout of receptors and sources to height scale factors that can be directly used in AERMOD. Terrain data used in this assessment was obtained from MECP (7.5-minute format).
6.5 Receptors
Receptors were chosen based on recommendations provided in Section 7.1 of the ADMGO, which is in accordance with s.14 of O. Reg. 419/05. A tiered receptor grid was defined starting with a rectangular boundary that encloses all the modelled sources (bounding box). A tiered grid was then defined starting from the edge of the bounding box with a fine resolution, to coarser resolutions further away. All tiered distances were defined relative to the bounding box. The receptor grid used is described as follows:
• 20-m spacing within 200 m of the edge of the bounding box
• 50-m spacing from 200 to 500 m
• 100-m spacing from 500 to 1,000 m
• 200-m spacing from 1,000 to 2,000 m
GHD | Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report | 11201621 (2) | Page 10
• 500-m spacing from 2,000 to 5,000 m
A property line ground level receptor grid with 10-m spacing was used to evaluate the maximum property boundary concentration. No receptors were placed inside the Site's property line.
6.6 Building Downwash
The Facility buildings were entered into the model using the USEPA Building Profile Input Program (BPIP-PRIME). The inputs into this pre-processor include the co-ordinates and heights of the buildings and stacks. The BPIP program was executed to evaluate any building cavity downwash effects. Cavity downwash can result in air contaminants being forced to ground level prematurely under certain meteorological conditions. The on-site buildings and structures were modelled with their respective average roof heights.
The PRIME plume rise algorithms include vertical wind shear calculations (important for buoyant releases from short stacks (i.e., stacks at release heights within the recirculation zones of the buildings). The PRIME algorithm also allows for the wind speed deficit factors to improve the accuracy of predicted concentrations within building wake zones that form in the lee of buildings. The BPIP input file is provided in Appendix D.
6.7 Deposition
AERMOD has the ability to account for wet and dry deposition of substances that would reduce ground level concentrations at POIs. However, the deposition algorithm has not been implemented in this assessment and therefore, the predicted POI concentrations are considered to be more conservative.
6.8 Averaging Time and Conversions
The shortest time scale that AERMOD predicts is a 1-hour average value. Schedule 3 standards of O. Reg. 419/05 apply to this Facility; many of these standards are based on 1-hour and 24-hour averaging times, which are averaging times that are easily provided by AERMOD. In cases where a standard has an averaging period less than 1-hour (e.g., 10-minute), a conversion to the appropriate averaging period was completed using the MECP recommended conversion factors, as documented in the ADMGO.
6.9 Dispersion Modelling Options

7. Emission Summary Table and Conclusions
This section provides the table required by subparagraph 14 of s.26 (1) of O. Reg. 419/05 and provides an interpretation of the results as required by the ESDM Procedure Report.
7.1 Emission Summary Table
A POI concentration for each significant contaminant emitted from the Facility was calculated based on the emission rates listed in Table 2A and Table 2B and the output from the approved dispersion model presented in Appendix D. The results are presented in Table 4. This Table follows the format provided in the ESDM Procedure Document. For each source of significant contaminants the following parameters are referenced:
• Contaminant name
• CAS number
• Total facility emission rate
• Approved dispersion model used
GHD | Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report | 11201621 (2) | Page 12
• Maximum POI concentration
• Averaging period for the dispersion modelling
• MECP POI limit
• Indication of limiting effect
• Schedule in Regulation 419/05
• The percentage of standard
The POI concentrations listed in Table 4 were compared against criteria listed in the MECP Air Contaminants Benchmarks (ACB) List: Standards, Guidelines, and Screening Levels for Assessing POI Concentrations of Air Contaminants dated April 2018.
7.2 Assessment of Contaminants with no MECP POI Limits
Subparagraph 14, subsection viii of s.26 (1) of O. Reg. 419/05 requires an indication of the likelihood, nature, and location of any adverse effect if the contaminant is not listed in any of Schedules 1, 2, and 3.
Four contaminants do not have corresponding criteria in the MECP Air Contaminants Benchmarks (ACB) List: Standards, Guidelines, and Screening Levels for Assessing POI Concentrations of Air Contaminants and are considered to be Contaminants with No Ministry POI Limits. These contaminants have been previously reviewed and approved by the MECP at the requested concentrations. No further assessment has been completed for these contaminants.
7.3 Conclusions
This ESDM Report was prepared in accordance with s.26 of O. Reg. 419/05. In addition guidance in the ESDM Procedure Document was followed, as applicable.
The emission rate estimates for each source of significant contaminants are documented in Table 2. All the emission rates listed in Table 2 correspond to the operating scenario where all significant sources are operating simultaneously at their individual maximum rates of production. Therefore these emission rate estimates listed in Table 2 are not likely to be an underestimate of the actual emission rates.
A POI concentration for each significant contaminant emitted from the Facility was calculated based on the calculated emission rates and the output from AERMOD model; the results are presented in Table 4.
The POI concentrations listed in Table 4 were compared against criteria listed in the MECP Air Contaminants Benchmarks (ACB) List: Standards, Guidelines, and Screening Levels for Assessing POI Concentrations of Air Contaminants dated April 2018.
All the contaminants listed in Table 4 have predicted POI concentrations below the corresponding Ministry standards, jurisdictional screening levels, or previously approved maximum ground level concentration.
GHD | Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report | 11201621 (2) | Page 13
This ESDM Report demonstrates that the Facility can operate in compliance with O. Reg. 419/05 using the maximum operating scenarios.

There is a permanent shredder located on the property, capable of shredding up to 300 tonnes/hour of steel parts. The shredder typically operates from 12 hours per day Monday to Friday with an occasional additional shift on Saturday. The Facility used to operate 2 magnetic separation streams, each equipped with a cyclone. One of the magnetic separation lines and the associated cyclone has been decommissioned.
The shredder line shreds and separates scrap material using a combination of magnetic separation and air separation. The shredding operation is electrically powered and is equipped with a cyclone for emissions controls.
Emissions for the shredder are based on a validated source test completed by Poscor Shred Services in June 2005. This unit was source tested as a requirement of the ECA. The results were submitted to the MECP in a report titled Poscor Shred Services Crop Hamilton, Ontario - Stack Testing Program Report, Parkdale Site, and is included in Appendix F .

Notes:(1) Moisture content of slag based on site-specific analysis(2) a wind speed of 6.73 m/s was used based on 5-years of site-specific historical weather data (2014 - 2018) from the ECCC's Burlington Piers Weather Station with cloud cover data from Hamilton airport station.(3) Delivery rate based on 3 trucks per day delivering an average of 34.2 tonnes per load. Maximum slag metal recovery processing rate is 45 tonnes per hour. The slag screening process runs up to 3 hours per day maximum.(4) Control Efficiency estimated to be 75% for 3-sided and top partial enclosure and 25% drop point with chute.(5) Emission factor for controlled screening (USEPA AP-42 11.19.2-1)
Emissions from the screening operations were estimated using emission factors for screening - uncontrolled provided in AP-42 Table 11.19.2-1 (USEPA 1995), assuming slag recovery process is operating at its maximum capacity (i.e. 100 tonnes/day); and 65% of the material is separated as 'overs' at each screen. Metal emissions were estimated by applying a site specific metal speciation to the maximum estimated particulate emission rate. Emissions from material drop points were calculated using the aggregate drop calculation from AP-42 Section 13.2.4 (USEPA 1985) assuming slag recovery process is operating at its maximum capacity (ie. 100 tonnes/day), all material drop points to equipment are partically enclosed along three sides and on top (assumed control efficiency of 75%), all material drop point to stockpiles are controlled with a chute (assumed control efficiency of 25%), 65% of the material is separated as 'overs' at each screen, and the moisture content of the slag is 5.13% as determined by a site specific moisture analysis.

Triple M uses torch cutting to reduce the size of mill rolls, slater processing and obsolete materials. The process involves the cutting of various material composed of carbon steel with hand held oxy-propane torches. During cutting, the material is heated by the torch flame, forming a solid slag redisue along the cutting edge. The metal cutting activities take place in the northern portion of the site. Triple M Metal was required by the MECP to conduct source testing on the emissions from the torch cutting operations. The source test results were used for the purposes of this assessment. A copy of the Source Test Report, prepared by BCX Environmental Consulting, January 2011, is provided in Appendix F.
Triple M has confirmed that operations have changed since the source test to mainly cutting of items with small cross-sectional areas (e.g. billets). Maximum cutting rate is 4000 in3/day between 7AM - 3PM. Therefore, only the source test results for small items was applied to this ESDM. The maximum emission rate has been time weighted to account for this.

TOTAL WELDING EMISSIONS
The facility utilizes welding rod and wire for maintenance and upkeep. Maintenance welding is undertaken on an as-needed basis and was previously assessed to be negligible (insignificant) under Guideline A-10, however based on current guidance, and because the welding emissions are not controlled, an assessment of negligibility must be made.
Emission for Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) have been estimated using the annual amount of welding wire and rod used at the site, and emission factors from AP-42 Chapter 12.19 Electric Arc Welding. The SDSs for the three welding consumables used on site have been used to speciate the particulate fume emitted by the welding process, and are included in Appendix G.
As welding is only undertaken as a periodic maintenance operation, emissions were converted to g/s assuming that all welding was accomplished in 30 days throughout the year, in order to estimate maximum daily emissions. Emissions from welding are only expected to occur during site operating hours (7AM to 11 PM).
Metals emissions were assumed based on the percent of metals in each type of welding rod or wire. Both total fume (particulate) and metals emissions calculations are provided below.

Sources were screened for negligibility using the following screening protocols listed in the ESDM Procedure Document:
Screening out contaminants emitted in negligible amounts (Section 7.1)
Identifying significant contaminants using an emission threshold (Section 7.1.2)
The results of the screening are discussed in detail in the following text.
Identifying Significant Contaminants using an Emission Threshold:
Section 7.1.2 of the ESDM Procedure Document states that contaminants that are emitted from a specific facility may be identified as negligible when they are below emissions thresholds that are developed using the following formula:
⁄0.5 /
⁄ ⁄
Table C.1 in the ESDM Procedure Document lists appropriate Dispersion Factors to be used for screening out contaminants in negligible amounts. The shortest distance from the emission source to the property line was determined to be 20 meters. The corresponding 1-hr urban dispersion factor provided in Table B-1 is 8,700 micrograms per cubic meter (g/m3).
The averaging time conversion factor provided in Table 7.1 of the Air Dispersion Modelling Guideline for Ontario was used to convert the 1-hour rural dispersion factor to a 24-hour averaging period, as follows:
124
.
8700 0.4 3,480
The converted rural dispersion factor was then incorporated into the emission threshold concentration calculations outlined in Section 7.1.2 of the ESPM Procedure Document. Table B.1 provides a summary of contaminants considered insignificant using an emission threshold.
Contaminants without ministry POI Limits that Can Be Considered Insignificant in Specific
Situations
Substances not listed in the ministry document "Air Contaminants Benchmarks (ACB) List: standards, guidelines and screening levels for assessing point of impingement concentrations of air contaminants" can be considered insignificant if the maximum point of impingement concentration calculated using the dispersion factors in Table B-1 is less than 0.1 µg/m3 for a 24-hour averaging period.
Table B.1 provides a summary of contaminants considered insignificant using the concentration threshold.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
WARNING! ‐ Avoid breathing welding fumes and gases, they may be dangerous to your health. Always use adequate ventilation. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment. PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Respiratory System, Eyes and/or Skin. ARC RAYS: The welding arc can injure eyes and burn skin. ELECTRIC SHOCK: Arc welding and associated processes can kill. See Section 8. FUMES AND GASES: Can be dangerous to your health. Welding fumes and gases cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedures and electrodes used. Most fume ingredients are present as complex oxides and compounds and not as pure metals. When the electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products generated are different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section 3. Decomposition products of normal operation include those originating from the volatilization, reaction or oxidation of the materials shown in this section, plus those from the base metal and coating, etc., as noted above. Monitor for the materials identified in the list within this section. Fumes from the use of this product may contain complex oxides or compounds of the following elements and molecules: amorphous silica fume, antimony trioxide, barium, calcium oxide, chromium, cobalt, copper, fluorspar or fluorides, lithium, manganese, nickel, silica and strontium. Other reasonably expected constituents of the fume would also include complex oxides of iron, titanium, silicon and molybdenum. Gaseous reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the arc. Other conditions which also influence the composition and quantity of the fumes and gases to which workers may be exposed include: coatings on the metal being welded (such as paint, plating or galvanizing), the number of welders and the volume of the work area, the quality and amount of ventilation, the position of the welder's head with respect to the fume plume, as well as the presence of contaminants in the atmosphere (such as chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors from cleaning and degreasing activities). One recommended way to determine the composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which workers are exposed is to take an air sample inside the welder's helmet if worn or in the worker's breathing zone. See ANSI/AWS F1.1 and F1.3, available from the "American Welding Society", 8669 Doral Blvd., Suite 130, Doral, FL 33166.

Do not ingest. Some individuals can develop an allergic reaction to certain materials. Retain all warning and product labels. STORAGE: Keep separate from acids and strong bases to prevent possible chemical reactions. SECTION 8 ‐ EXPOSURE CONTROL AND PERSONAL PROTECTION Read and understand the instructions and the labels on the packaging. Welding fumes do not have a specific OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV. The OSHA PEL for Particulate – Not Otherwise Classified (PNOC) is 5 mg/m
3 – Respirable Fraction, 15 mg/m
3 – Total Dust. The ACGIH TLV for Particles – Not Otherwise Specified (PNOS) is 3 mg/m
3 – Respirable
Particles, 10 mg/m3 – Inhalable Particles. The individual complex compounds within the fume may have a lower OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV than the OSHA Particulate – Not
Otherwise Classified (PNOC) and ACGIH Particles – Not Otherwise Specified (PNOS). An Industrial Hygienist, the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits for Air Contaminants (29 CFR 1910.1000), and the ACGIH Threshold Limit Values should be consulted to determine the specific fume constituents present and their respective exposure limits. European Union Occupational Exposure Limits (EU OEL) are listed with the most stringent limit among the EU member nations. All exposure limits are in milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m

Train the welder to keep his head out of the fumes. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use NIOSH approved or equivalent fume respirator or air supplied respirator when welding in confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure below the regulatory limits. EYE PROTECTION: Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. As a rule of thumb begin with Shade Number 14. Adjust if needed by selecting the next lighter and/or darker shade number. Provide protective screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others from the weld arc flash. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear hand, head and body protection which help to prevent injury from radiation, sparks and electrical shock. See ANSI Z49.1. At a minimum this includes welder's gloves and a protective face shield, and may include arm protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection as well as dark non‐synthetic clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to insulate himself from work and ground. PROCEDURE FOR CLEANUP OF SPILLS OR LEAKS: Not applicable SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS (IMPORTANT): Maintain exposure below the PEL/TLV/OEL. Use industrial hygiene monitoring to ensure that your use of this material does not create exposures which exceed PEL/TLV/OEL. Always use exhaust ventilation.

The amount of fume varies with the welding parameters. STABILITY: This product is stable under normal conditions. REACTIVITY: Contact with acids or strong bases may cause generation of gas. SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION SHORT‐TERM (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: Welding Fumes ‐ May result in discomfort such as dizziness, nausea or dryness or irritation of nose, throat or eyes. Aluminum Oxide ‐ Irritation of the respiratory system. Antimony Compounds ‐ Irritation of nose, throat, eyes and skin. Barium ‐ Aching eyes, rhinitis, frontal headache, wheezing, laryngeal spasms, salivation or anorexia. Calcium Oxide ‐ Dust or fumes may cause irritation of the respiratory system, skin and eyes. Chromium ‐ Inhalation of fume with chromium (VI) compounds can cause irritation of the respiratory tract, lung damage and asthma‐like symptoms. Swallowing chromium (VI) salts can cause severe injury or death. Dust on skin can form ulcers. Eyes may be burned by chromium (VI) compounds. Allergic reactions may occur in some people. Cobalt ‐ Pulmonary irritation, cough, dermatitis, weight loss. Copper ‐ Metal fume fever characterized by metallic taste, tightness of chest and fever. Symptoms may last 24 to 48 hours following overexposure. Fluorides ‐ Fluoride compounds evolved may cause skin and eye burns, pulmonary edema and bronchitis. Iron, Iron Oxide ‐ None are known. Treat as nuisance dust or fume. Lithium Compounds ‐ Overexposure may cause tremor and nausea. Magnesium, Magnesium Oxide ‐ Overexposure to the oxide may cause metal fume fever characterized by metallic taste, tightness of chest and fever. Symptoms may last 24 to 48 hours following overexposure. Manganese, Manganese Oxide ‐ Metal fume fever characterized by chills, fever, upset stomach, vomiting, irritation of the throat and aching of body. Recovery is generally complete within 48 hours of the overexposure. Molybdenum, Cerium Oxide ‐ Irritation of the eyes, nose and throat. Nickel, Nickel Compounds ‐ Metallic taste, nausea, tightness in chest, metal fume fever, allergic reaction. Silica (Amorphous) ‐ Dust and fumes may cause irritation of the respiratory system, skin and eyes. Strontium Compounds ‐ Strontium salts are generally non‐toxic and are normally present in the human body. In large oral doses, they may cause gastrointestinal disorders, vomiting and diarrhea. Titanium Dioxide ‐ Irritation of respiratory system. Zirconium ‐ May cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat due to mechanical effects. LONG‐TERM (CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: Welding Fumes ‐ Excess levels may cause bronchial asthma, lung fibrosis, pneumoconiosis or "siderosis." Aluminum Oxide ‐ Pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema. Antimony Compounds ‐ Metal fume fever, dermatitis, keratitis, conjunctivitis and ulceration and perforation of the nasal septum. Avoid conditions in which fresh hydrogen will react with antimony to form stibine which is extremely toxic. Barium ‐ Long term overexposure to soluble barium compounds may cause nervous disorders and may have deleterious effects on the heart, circulatory system and musculature. Calcium Oxide ‐ Prolonged overexposure may cause ulceration of the skin and perforation of the nasal septum, dermatitis and pneumonia. Chromium ‐ Ulceration and perforation of nasal septum. Respiratory irritation may occur with symptoms resembling asthma. Studies have shown that chromate production workers exposed to hexavalent chromium compounds have an excess of lung cancers. Chromium (VI) compounds are more readily absorbed through the skin than chromium (III) compounds. Good practice requires the reduction of employee exposure to chromium (III) and (VI) compounds. Cobalt ‐ Repeated overexposure to cobalt compounds can produce reduced pulmonary function, diffuse nodular fibrosis of lungs and respiratory hypersensitivity. Copper ‐ Copper poisoning has been reported in the literature from exposure to high levels of copper. Liver damage can occur due to copper accumulating in the liver characterized by cell destruction and cirrhosis. High levels of copper may cause anemia and jaundice. High levels of copper may cause central

nervous system damage characterized by nerve fiber separation and cerebral degeneration. Fluorides ‐ Serious bone erosion (Osteoporosis) and mottling of teeth. Iron, Iron Oxide Fumes ‐ Can cause siderosis (deposits of iron in lungs) which some researchers believe may affect pulmonary function. Lungs will clear in time when exposure to iron and its compounds ceases. Iron and magnetite (Fe3O4) are not regarded as fibrogenic materials. Lithium Compounds ‐ May be considered as potentially teratogenic. Magnesium, Magnesium Oxide ‐ No adverse long term health effects have been reported in the literature. Manganese, Manganese Oxide ‐ Long‐term overexposure to manganese compounds may affect the central nervous system. Symptoms may be similar to Parkinson's disease and can include slowness, changes in handwriting, gait impairment, muscle spasms and cramps and less commonly, tremor and behavioral changes. Employees who are overexposed to manganese compounds should be seen by a physician for early detection of neurologic problems. Overexposure to manganese and manganese compounds above safe exposure limits can cause irreversible damage to the central nervous system, including the brain, symptoms of which may include slurred speech, lethargy, tremor, muscular weakness, psychological disturbances and spastic gait. Molybdenum, Cerium Oxide ‐ Prolonged overexposure may result in loss of appetite, weight loss, loss of muscle coordination, difficulty in breathing and anemia. Nickel, Nickel Compounds ‐ Lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis. Studies of nickel refinery workers indicated a higher incidence of lung and nasal cancers. Silica (Amorphous) ‐ Research indicates that silica is present in welding fume in the amorphous form. Long term overexposure may cause pneumoconiosis. Noncrystalline forms of silica (amorphous silica) are considered to have little fibrotic potential. Strontium Compounds ‐ Strontium at high doses is known to concentrate in bone. Major signs of chronic toxicity, which involve the skeleton, have been labeled as "strontium rickets". Titanium Dioxide ‐ Pulmonary irritation and slight fibrosis. Zirconium ‐ May cause pulmonary fibrosis and pneumoconiosis. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Persons with pre‐existing impaired lung functions (asthma‐like conditions). Persons with a pacemaker should not go near welding and cutting operations until they have consulted their doctor and obtained information from the manufacturer of the device.

SECTION 5: Reactivity Data
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Welding gases cannot be classified simply. Their composition and quantities are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, the procedures, and electrodes used. Other conditions which also influence the composition and quantity of the fumes and gases to which workers may be exposed include: coatings on the metal being welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing), number of welds and volume of work area, quality and amount of ventilation, position of welder’s head with respect to the fume plume, as well as the presence of contaminants in the atmosphere (such as chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors from cleaning and degreasing activities). The primary route of entry of welding fumes and gases is by inhalation. When the electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products are different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section 2. Decomposition products include those originating from volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown in Section 2 plus those from base metal, coating, etc... as noted in Section 6. These components are virtually always present as complex compounds and not as metals (Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society). One recommended way to determine the composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which worker’s are exposed are to take an air sample inside the welder’s helmet, if worn, or in the worker’s breathing zone. See ANSI/AWS F1.1, available from the American Welding Society, P.O. Box 351040, Miami, FL 33135.
SECTION 6: Health Hazard Data THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: Reasonably expected fume or gas constituents of these products could include primary oxides of iron; secondarily complex oxides of manganese, silicon, chromium, and molybdenum along with fluorides. OSHA permissible exposure limits and ACGIH threshold limit values for nickel is 1.0mg/M3 and for hexavalent chromium is 0.05 mg/M3. Welding fumes also contain fluorides and OSHA (PEL) and ACGIH (TLV) limits are 2.5mg/M3. It is to be noted that all the above will result in a significant reduction from the 5mg/M3 general fume level. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH. Aggravation of preexisting respiratory or allergic conditions may occur in some workers. Short-term (ACUTE) overexposure to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness, nausea, and dryness or irritation of the nose, throat, or eyes. Long-term (CHRONIC) overexposure to welding fumes may lead to siderosis (iron deposits in the lung) and is believed by some investigators to affect pulmonary function. ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn skin. ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. See Section 7. EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Call for medical aid. Employ first aid techniques recommended by the American Red Cross.
SECTION 7: Precautions For Safe Handling And Use/Applicable Control Measures
Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions and the precautionary label on this product. See American National Standard Z-49.1, Safety in Welding and Cutting, published by the American Welding Society, P.O. Box 354140, Miami, FL 33135 and OSHA Publication 2206 (29 C.R.F. 1910), U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 for more detail. VENTILATION: Use enough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep the fumes and gases below the TLV’S in the worker’s breathing zone and the general area. Train the welder to keep his head out of the fumes. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use respirable fume respirator or air-supplied respirator when welding in confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure below TLV. EYE PROTECTION: Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. As a rule of thumb, start with a shade which is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to the next lighter shade that gives sufficient view of the weld zone. Provide protective screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear head, hand, and body protection that help to prevent injury from radiation, sparks and electrical shock. See ANSI Z-49.1. At a minimum, this includes welder’s gloves and a protective face shield and may include arm protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to insulate himself from work and ground. PROCEDURE FOR CLEANING OF SPILLS OR LEAKS: Not applicable. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Prevent waste from contaminating surrounding environment. Discard any product, residue, disposable container, or liner in an environmentally acceptable manner, in full compliance with Federal, State, and Local regulations.
