Ministry, city act on noise, dust complaints: Feb. 14, 2013 Tamara Shephard article, Etobicoke Guardian

Opening paragraphs of the article:

A Mimico concrete mixing plant that has operated for a decade without Ministry of the Environment approvals is committed to resolving residents’ complaints of noise from a steady convoy of trucks and dust, a company official insists.

ML Ready Mix Concrete has operated since its owners purchased the property at 29 Judson St. in 2002 in a residential neighbourhood down the street from Mimico GO Station, a seniors’ residence and Coronation Park.

Last week, some 130 area residents expressed their concerns at a Feb. 6 meeting with city, provincial and company officials at which they learned ML Ready Mix has been operating without a Ministry of Environment certificate of approval for dust and noise emissions, and may require a city building permit for changes made to the site.
