2 INTRODUCTION Facility Summary manufactures and assembles aluminum and magnesium die-cast products (i.e. cam covers, oil pans, centre supports and oil pumps) for the automotive industry. The manufacturing process includes die casting, machining, and assembly. Primary operations consist of the initial receiving of aluminum in sow blocks within the foundry area and transfer to the melter. The molten aluminum is then transferred into ladles which are transferred by forklift to the appropriate die-cast machine. Each die-cast machine is also equipped with a holding furnace. Die-cast parts are then sent for shape forming and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, and then, as necessary, to the shot-blasting unit. Some parts are then transferred to assembly where various components are added. Parts are then inspected, packed and shipped off-site. In addition, die-casting of magnesium parts occurs on site. Chipped magnesium is received in tote bags and transferred to the Thixo machines, which operate as horizontal injection molding machines. Molded parts are generally trimmed by a small press and/or filed by hand and then sent to assembly. Parts are then inspected, packed and shipped off-site. recently replaced lighting with energy efficient light bulbs, and have also added a coolant recycling system to recycle coolants. have just recently added a more environmentally friendly degreaser with an oil degreaser cleaner dispensing system. The usage on the degreaser is substantially less. Page i

Magna s objective as expressed in the HSE Policy is to be an industry leader in health, safety and environmental practices in all of our operations with the intention, through technological innovation and process efficiencies, to minimize the impact of our operations on the environment and to provide safe and healthful working conditions. In keeping with Magna s decentralized organizational structure, facilities are responsible for setting site specific objectives to meet the objectives within the Magna HSE Policy to: improve the efficient use of natural resources, including energy; minimize waste streams and emissions; and implement effective recycling programs in our manufacturing operations, through the use of locally set continuous improvement targets. With reference to the Ontario Toxics Reduction Act, the reduction objectives are outlined in Section 4 of this Plan Summary for the reportable substances (Copper, Lead, & Zinc) at. 3.0 SUBSTANCES REQUIRING PLANS The following substances require plans - Copper, Lead and Zinc - based on 2011 Toxics Reduction Act accounting information. 4.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN & ANY TARGETS Magna International Inc. prides itself on technical innovation in order to produce high quality automotive components in an environmentally responsible manner. This plan documents the options available to to optimize the use of Copper, Lead, and Zinc at the facility. At this time, there are no specific targets for reduction, however, as is our standard practice, we will continue to meet regularly with our staff and look for opportunities to reduce our use of Copper, Lead, and Zinc.

7 5.0 OPTIONS TO BE IMPLEMENTED (OR STATEMENT THAT NONE ARE TO BE IMPLEMENTED) commitment to continuous improvement has resulted in an extraordinary lean and efficient manufacturing facility. The facility s continuous improvement measures, coupled with the acknowledgment that the customer provides the specifications for the raw materials processed at the site mean that there are no additional options for the facility to implement. 6.0 CONTENTS OF THIS PLAN SUMMARY REFLECTS PLAN This Plan Summary accurately reflects the Toxic Substance Reduction Plans dated November , prepared for the substances listed in Section 1.0 of this Summary.
