INEOS Styrolution was ordered to shut down by Ontario's Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) after high levels of benzene from the Tashmoo Avenue facility.
Meanwhile, the company said on Friday night it is considering appealing the order.
It claims the timeline given by the province is unrealistic and it will have economic impacts.
On Friday, Aamjiwnaang First Nation issued its own Notice of Violation against INEOS Styrolution and the MECP.
The First Nation said during an update to its State of Emergency, they want to be included at decision making tables.
