Re EBR 012-9843 Carmeuse…

Re EBR 012-9843 Carmeuse Lime (Canada) limited, a proposal to Add rescind or vary a conditon of licence to amalgamate Licence no 2130 and 2136 impacting the area of 3 licensed sites under the reference of 2136 While this action is purported to result in a decrease of annual production it remains unclear what other impacts ( haulage roads, entrances, exits, daily number of trucks, rehabilitation etc etc) be felt from such a change on widely expansive rural and urban areas. In the light of the current landfill proposal controversy involving part of this site, such substantial changes in site plan management of a highly complex industrial site demand a a more detailed analysis from the proponent to be made available to the public as well as OMNR. Also to be considered: have these licences been exemplary regarding past compliance? At the very least there should be a longer period ( 90 days not 30) for public comment so that local ratepayers can contribute fairly to OMNR' s decision making process as per its Misson Statement/ mandate. I urge you to deny this proposal and restart the process to extend the comment period.
