St Pius V Church

On April 22, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) shared an update regarding the Sims Metal Management (“Sims”) application for the large facility recycling permit. The original application was held for consideration due to the new and strengthened requirements under the Rules for Large Recycling Facilities, to ensure the safety and health of all Chicagoans, especially nearby residents. As part of these enhanced requirements, Sims has provided supplementary materials.

Pursuant to the Rules for Large Recycling Facilities, the submission of a complete application starts a 30-day public comment period, which began April 22, 2024. As part of this process, CDPH is hosting a public meeting, which will help the City better understand and address community concerns as it completes its review of the draft permit. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, May 15, at 6 pm at St. Pius V Church, located at 1919 South Ashland Avenue, Chicago, IL 60608. Spanish translation will be available.

All written public comments should be submitted to envcomments@cityofchicago.org by May 22, 2024.

All materials are available at chicago.gov/envcommunityinfo.
