Radius Recycling is seeking an air permit from the Metro Vancouver Regional District for its metal recycling facility in Surrey, British Columbia, to maintain existing operations and add vessel dismantling services.
The Oregon-based company has requested a 20-year permit term and amendments to its current air permit, which expires on 1 June 2027, according to a public notice.
The proposed changes include adding a vessel dismantling operation as a new emissions source, removing certain emissions sources and updating permitted emission quantities.
Radius' ship recycling services would include crushing and dismantling vessels and transporting the scrap off site.
The Surrey facility currently collects and processes end-of-life vehicles and ferrous scrap locally through crushing and torch cutting. The processed vehicles and scrap are then sorted and transported off site by barge.
Radius did not immediately respond to Argus' request for comment.
