Decision details
Aggregate Resources Act Licence # 625712 was issued to Maurice Yelle Excavation Ltd. on January 13, 2021, subject to conditions specified on Schedule A (Prescribed Conditions). The licensed area is 17.86 hectares in size and allows the operation of a pit below the water table. The tonnage condition specifies a maximum of 100,000 tonnes of aggregate to be removed from the site in any calendar year.
A copy of the licence can be obtained by contacting the Ministry office and contact identified below.
Effects of consultation
No comments were received in response to the Environmental Registry notice. Four (4) letters of objection were received in response to the Aggregate Resources Act (ARA) consultation process. The objections were related to the assessment of potential impacts on groundwater users, water quality and quantity and impacts to an adjacent well and wellhead protection zone. Other objections were related to property values, noise, fuel, traffic, dust, natural environment, drainage, rehabilitation and technical components of the site plans. Some concerns were addressed by the applicant providing additional information and revisions to the site plan.
The application was referred to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) to resolve one outstanding objection. As the objection was ultimately resolved prior to a hearing, the application was referred back to the Minister for a decision. As a result, a decision was made to proceed with the approval of this proposal.
