It is once again impossible…

It is once again impossible to understand what is being proposed. There are no links under supporting materials. There is no link to the existing ECA to understand what conditions currently exist and what conditions are being asked to be added. Dust is already visible and a nuisance from this site. There is truck traffic in and out steady. There is often dirt, dust being tracked in and out of the site. You can see dust blowing around on this site from a distance on windy days.

If the applicant is asking to change the pile height are they asking to increase the tonnage manged at this site? If so I strongly object b/c this will mean more dust, more traffic etc. Rutherford rd is already choked.

Are these activities compliant with the City of Vaughan zoning by-law? Are the crushing activities compliant with the City of Vaughan noise by-law? If not what will the MOE do to ensure that this application is in compliant with municipal requirements prior to approval or will the MOE approve regardless of compliance with municipal by-laws as as happened at other sites.

Is the applicant compliant with their existing ECA? Have they maintained all of their annual reports, produce and draft all of the required manuals, procedures that were required under the current ECA? If so at any point have they been updated? Has the MOE reviewed this as part of the approval process? Do they have a record of complaints that has been provided to the MOE to confirm they are a good operator? Has the applicant consulted directly with the municipality and secured approvals for the activities they are proposing on this site? Has the MOE consulted the municipality to determine if they have any concerns with this operator that fail under provincial jurisdiction. Do they have proper permits from the TRCA there is a water course running south of this site? There is a development applications to the south has the applicant been advised of this change in activity proposed?

There are far too many unanswered questions for this application to be approved and there is no transparency as to the current status of the operator and what activities are being proposed. I fail to see how this public consultation satisfies Ontario's EPA or EBR.
