Dufferin Aggregates, a Division of CRH Canada Group Inc. - Changes to the site plan for a pit or quarry

Dufferin Aggregates has requested to amalgamate licence No. 5485 with licences No. 5712 and No. 25476, also operated by Dufferin Aggregates. The three licences make up the Flamboro Quarry. As part of the proposed amalgamation, the area of the three sites will be licenced under No. 5485 with one tonnage condition and one comprehensive site plan.

The currently approved tonnage condition for each licence is as follows:

• No. 5485 – unlimited
• No. 5712 - 500,000 tonnes annually
• No. 25476 - 3,000,000 tonnes annually

Dufferin Aggregates proposes to combine the tonnage condition for all three licences to allow a maximum of 3.5 million tonnes to be removed in any calendar year. In addition, the combined tonnage condition will be rescinded from the licence and implemented on the comprehensive site plan for amalgamated licence No. 5485.

Other information

Dufferin Aggregates operates these sites under the authority of licence No. 5485, No. 5712 and No. 25476 under the Aggregate Resources Act.

In addition to the request to vary the tonnage condition, Dufferin Aggregates has also made application for a major site plan amendment to approve a comprehensive site plan with revised operations and rehabilitation.

Site plan information is available to view at the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Guelph District office. Making an appointment to view the information is recommended to ensure aggregate staff will be available to provide information and answer questions.
