Original proposal
Proposal details
Application has been made by R.W. Tomlinson Limited to amend the current site plan for both sites to change the final rehabilitation from a pond to a filled-to-grade landform, allowing for the importation of excess soils. Fill importation is currently permitted at both sites and backfilling is approved on the eastern portion. The Licensee is proposing to backfill the remainder of both sites.
The licensee has calculated that the required rehabilitation, which is outlined on the site plan, will require the importation of 13,000,000 m³ (4216) and 14,000,000 m³ (5204). This total includes areas where backfilling to grade is already permitted.
Public consultation opportunities
The proposed request for both licences is being circulated within the Ministry of Natural Resources. Additionally, notification of this application has been forwarded to the City of Ottawa, Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and landowners within 120 metres of the subject property, for comment.
