- EACOM wishes to flag MNRF’s intention to look into “creating a more robust application process for existing operators that want to expand to extract aggregate within the water table, allowing for increased public engagement”, highlighting that there should be a rationale for additional administrative burden.
- EACOM is encouraged to see that more flexibility will be provided for regulations to permit self-filing of routine plan amendments and we support consideration of regulatory changes to allow operators to self-file changes to existing plans for some routine activities.
- EACOM supports streamlining the compliance reporting requirements, while maintaining the annual requirement, as this could reduce administrative burden.
- EACOM strongly supports maintaining current aggregate fees. Since EACOM utilizes aggregate to build and maintain public infrastructure, we request that aggregate permits involving forest access roads on Crown land open to the public remain under the current flat rate fee structure.
