Description of instrument
Carmeuse Lime (Canada) Limited has submitted an application to amalgamate Licence No. 2136 with Licence No. 2129 and No. 2130, also operated by Carmeuse Lime (Canada) Limited. As part of this amalgamation, the area of the three licensed sites will be licenced under the reference No. 2136, with one tonnage condition and one comprehensive site plan.
Carmeuse Lime (Canada) Limited has requested to vary the tonnage condition for amalgamated Licence No. 2136 to be 6,000,000 tonnes annually. Currently, the tonnage condition for licence 2136 states that “The amount of aggregate excavated from this licensed property must be 3,000,000 tonnes or less in any calendar year”. The annual tonnage conditions for Licence No. 2129 and No. 2130 are 3,000,000 and 2,267,500 tonnes, respectively. When added together, the amount of aggregate that is currently authorized to be excavated from the three licensed sites totals 8,267,500 tonnes annually. The requested tonnage condition of 6,000,000 tonnes annually for amalgamated Licence No. 2136 represents a 27 percent decrease from the current state.
If the application is approved, the tonnage condition is proposed to be rescinded from the licence and implemented on the comprehensive site plan.
Other Information
Carmeuse Lime (Canada) Limited operates this site under the authority of Licence No. 2136 under the Aggregate Resources Act.
In addition to the request to vary the tonnage condition, Carmeuse Lime (Canada) Limited 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 MNRF Aylmer District office. Making an appointment to view the information is recommended to ensure aggregate staff will be available to provide information and answer questions.
