Effects of consultation
One comment was received in response to the Environmental Registry notice. This was a duplicate of a written objection that was submitted through the ARA process. Twelve (12) letters of objection were received in response to the Aggregate Resources Act (ARA) consultation process. The objections were related to traffic, road degradation, lack of rehabilitation, noise and dust, berms/landscaping, loss of property value, technical components of the proposed site plans, entrance/exit location, noise mitigation, setbacks, hydrology, and erosion concerns.
The applicant worked to address the objections by providing additional information and revising the site plans. The application was referred to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) to resolve one unresolved objection. The LPAT issued a written decision (MM190003) and directed the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry to issue the licence subject to the site plans and conditions attached to the decision and order.
