Decision details

The Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry has decided to approve an application to amend the Niagara Escarpment Plan to change the land use designation of the lands found at Part Lot 5, Concession 5, 4000 Campbellville Road in the Town of Milton, Region of Halton from Mineral Resource Extraction Area to Escarpment Natural Area and Escarpment Protection Area. The 17.8 hectares (44 acres) subject lands are currently designated Mineral Resource Extraction Area in the Niagara Escarpment Plan, in conjunction with a sand and gravel pit extraction operation that was established in the 1960’s and licensed under the Aggregate Resources Act.

The extraction activities have ceased, the site has been rehabilitated, and the licence has been surrendered. The subject lands are being re-designated to Escarpment Natural Area and Escarpment Protection Area, consistent with the Land Use Designation Criteria and Objectives in the NEP.

Approximately 17.8 ha (44 ac) subject lands are currently designated Mineral Resource Extraction Area (MREA) in the Niagara Escarpment Plan (NEP), in conjunction with a sand and gravel pit extraction operation that was established in the 1960’s (pre-dating the NEP and Development Control), and licenced under the Aggregate Resources Act (ARA).
