Please stop the application for development related to the Miller Boyington Pit #3 site amendment application. The MNRF has an obligation to manage, require rehabilitation, minimize impact on the environment, respect the requirements of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and Act, and should continue to govern the Boyington Pit#3 on all aggregate resources and related activities now and in the future.
Every licensee should operate their site in accordance with the site plan upon which the license is based and at the end of its life, the pit should be rehabilitated as promised and the license surrendered.
MNRF do your job and bring this site into conformity with the license and the ORMCP. Non-compliance issues including: removing concrete and other offsite material; removal of both of the contractor's outdoor storage yards; completing and staying up to date on progressive rehabilitation; cleaning up and putting berms and setbacks in place; discontinuing the practice of on-site crushing and importing asphalt; adhering to licensed hours of operation and discontinuing the practice of bringing in fill must be cleaned up. For over 10 years the MNRF has allowed these non-compliance issues to go unchecked. This operator has not only not complied with orders from the MNRF, they appear to be flouting the laws that govern aggregate operations.
Non-Compliance issues should not be allowed to go without enforcement for over a decade. Please get these cleaned up before considering any Major Site Plan Amendments. Many non-compliance issues are existing on the site currently. The MNRF should enforce and require that these non-compliance issues are corrected before entertaining any Major Site Plan Amendment.
Thank you.
