Hanon Systems
Belleville, Ontario, Canada
​​
ASC Environmental Inc. conducted a Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment at Hanon Systems’ Belleville facility (360 University Avenue) to identify and address legacy contamination issues, including a localized arsenic exceedance in shallow soils. In parallel, we verified that emissions, noise, and wastewater parameters consistently met regulatory standards, thereby ensuring documented compliance and operational continuity for Hanon Systems.

Phase Two ESA
The report for Hanon Systems in Belleville addresses the environmental liabilities associated with decades of industrial use at 360 University Avenue, where historical contaminating activities have raised concerns about soil and groundwater quality. Through a comprehensive Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment, ASC Environmental Inc. identified specific areas most notably a localized arsenic exceedance in shallow soils that potentially compromise compliance with provincial environmental standards. To mitigate these risks and facilitate the safe, continued industrial use of the property, the report recommends targeted remedial actions, specifically the excavation and removal of impacted soils to bring the site into regulatory compliance.

Emission Summary and Displacement Modelling
Hanon Systems needed to prove, year after year, that its Belleville plant was meeting stringent air‑quality and noise limits under its Environmental Compliance Approval—failing to do so risked fines, shutdowns and reputational damage. We solved this by running a multi‑year Emissions Summary and Dispersion Modelling program, then packaging each year’s results into clear, concise reports: signed compliance statements, simple summaries of any operational changes, easy‑to‑read emission trends and confirmation that all pollutants stayed below regulatory thresholds. This turnkey approach gave Hanon Systems the documented assurance regulators demand and the peace of mind to keep their operations running smoothly.
​
Process and Waste Water Sampling
ASC Environmental conducted on‑site grab sampling at Hanon Systems Canada’s Plant 1 (440 College St. E.) and Plant 2 (360 University Ave.) in Belleville, using a swing sampler and strict decontamination protocols, and submitted samples under chain‑of‑custody to a CALA‑certified lab for analysis of pH, CBOD, total suspended solids, nutrients (phosphorus, TKN), metals, volatiles and oil & grease. We compared each result against City of Belleville By‑Law 2002‑12 sewer‑use limits, confirmed full compliance, and delivered a concise plan complete with sampling location maps, tabulated results, laboratory certificates and recommendations for routine monitoring giving Hanon Systems the documented proof and guidance needed to avoid fines, maintain operations and uphold sustainable water management.
