Please take into consideration down stream impacts of gravel pits and quarries. The stagnant, polluted, metal contaminated water will flow down the creeks into lakes where birds, fish, animals drink and feed from and where cottagers live. Lire davantage

I have worked with Ontario's aggregate industry for nearly 30 years, as a former MNRF Aggregate Inspector and as a professional consultant. I am so very pleased that government finally is seeing fit to make the changes you have outlined in your general summary. Lire davantage

An issue that needs to be addressed is impact on local road networks. The road sub bases are subject to heavy traffic and need up grading. Passing lanes on inclines with escape routes. Wider turning circles are required to handle the large trucks.

The proposed changes appear to limit the role of municipalities as it relates to aggregates. I believe this is wrong. Municipalities know the local situation better than any Provincial Ministry and should have the ability to regulate activities within their boundary

The proposed changes are a license to destroy the lands and waters and gives local property owners, especially those located near Crown land negligible say in the quarrying. These proposals loosed environmental oversights to the point where there aren't any. Lire davantage

Air quality testing to the surrounding areas before the development is an absolute must. The levels of silica particulate being released into the air during/following blasting needs to be monitored as it negatively effects all residents living within a 1000m radius of a blasting quarry.

We are a small group of cottagers (approx. 12 paying members in total) that hold an Aggregate Permit. We extract less than 100 tons of gravel annually, all of which is used on public roads that access our cottages. The Permit fees are hard for our group to absorb. Lire davantage

How can you "maintain" a protection for the environment that does not already exist? Though the PPS 2014 in theory gives equal weight to extraction and environmental protection, in practice extraction is the only consideration. Lire davantage

The annual fee for a smaller pit license is becoming too high. It was I think, $200 a year and that was high enough for a pit that is essentially just being held for maybe possible future use and as such we only extract less than 100 tonnes in a year. Lire davantage

The Greenbelt MUST BE fully and completely protected! Opening it up in a "sustainable way" is just absolute bull! and not even politically expedient. Canadians are fully behind the protection of farm lands and our natural resources which is the strongest political platform.

It is sad that Ontario does not investigate alternatives to aggregate use. Other non harmful materials are now replacing concrete with qualities that provide same strength and usability. Use some creative thinking please. We pay big time for bureaucrat expertise.

In a phrase, these proposals show that this government in general, and the MNRF specifically, has things backwards. This is 2019, not 1919; the protection of the environment, not the exploitation of its resources, should be, MUST be, the engine driving provincial policy. Lire davantage
