ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

Silfab understands there are questions circulating in the community about our plant. We are happy to answer some of the most frequently asked questions.

What does a light industrial facility mean?

It is the assembly, fabrication, or processing of goods and materials by means that ordinarily do not create noise, smoke, fumes, odors, glare, or health or safety hazards outside of the building or lot where the assembly, fabrication, or processing takes place, where the processing is housed entirely within a building.

Light Industrial does not include hazardous material treatment and storage facilities, plating, enameling, or petroleum and gas refining.

How did Silfab end up next to two proposed schools?

Silfab Solar welcomes the opportunity for the new school to be built near its facility. When the company moved into the light industrial zone, schools were not allowed to be built in these zones. There was a decision by York County Council to rezone our area to allow a school to be built. Our other facilities are next to bodies of water and in the middle of urban areas. Our safety protocols have kept the environment and the people around our facility safe.

Additional Documentation:

Are the chemicals used dangerous to the community?

Silfab Solar uses certain materials to assemble and clean products. The company has taken best in class steps to reduce any risk to our employees, their families and neighboring communities. Materials used during our assembly processes can all be found in household products. For instance hydrochloric acid is used for food processing i.e. soft drinks, cookies, ketchup and cereals. Hydrofluoric acid is used in everyday pharmaceuticals and agriculture. Silane is used to develop smartphones, laptops and cars.

The Local Emergency Planning Committee, York County Office of Emergency Management, Flint Hill Fire Department and the EPA are a part of our planning to ensure that all parties are prepared for any type of unlikely event that may require a response.
