Tribunal directs issuance of Class A quarry licence, finding environmental and community impacts adequately addressed.
The applicant sought a Class A Licence for the operation of a proposed quarry above the groundwater level.
Several neighbours objected, raising concerns about noise, traffic, blasting, water quality, and environmental impacts.
The Tribunal considered the criteria under s 12(1) of the Aggregate Resources Act and accepted the applicant's expert evidence that the proposed quarry would have minimal impacts and comply with provincial standards.
The Tribunal directed the Minister to issue the licence subject to prescribed conditions, including an annual noise study.
