Oakville Air Quality By-Law
On December 20, 2010, the Town passed By-Law Number 2010-187 extending the reporting and approvals deadlines. Facilities that meet the reporting criteria and hold a provincial Certificate of Approval (Air and Noise) must now submit their report by May 1, 2011. All other facilities must now submit their report by September 1, 2012.

This is related to the Town of Oakville By-Law 2010-035 which attempts to control the emissions of fine particulate matter and assess the health effects of these emissions into the air. Facilities on properties greater than 0.1 ha in size or that contain 25 or more residential dwelling units and emit fine particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulphur dioxide, or volatile organic compounds must report these emissions to the Town.

A facility is defined as a building, structure, equipment and other stationary items on a site or at a location that is under common operation, management, and/or control, but does not include:
(i) a site that contains less than 25 dwelling units; or,
(ii) a commercial, business or institutional site or location that is less than 0.1 ha in size.
