In 2009 the Ministry of Environment ordered an asphalt plant in North York to apply for an updated environmental permit, one that would better represent its operations. The Ministry of Environment initially granted the asphalt plant an environmental permit in 1999. ( Rene Johnston/Toronto Star )Ingram Asphalt, owned by Rohit Bansal, took over the plant in 2005 under an existing environmental permit issued in 1999. And, she filed applications under Ontario’s Environmental Bill of Rights asking the ministry to review Ingram Asphalt’s existing environmental permit. For Paul Swartz the asphalt plant is part of a problem that's existed since before North York was amalgamated into the City of Toronto.
