Original proposal
Proposal details
Application has been made by St. Marys Cement Inc. (Canada) to amend the current site plan for licence #624927 to allow an increase in the number of tonnes of aggregate that may be removed in a calendar year. The current site plan condition states that “the total tonnage to be excavated from this site in combination with the existing Ayr pit is 600,000 tonnes.” St. Marys Cement Inc. (Canada) has requested that the combined tonnage limit be increased to 700,000 tonnes annually. This increase has been requested by the licensee to address the higher demand for aggregates in the area.
Other information
St. Marys Cement Inc. (Canada) currently operates this site under the authority of licence #624927 under the Aggregate Resources Act; 51 hectares are licensed as a pit.
