Appeals allowed and aggregate pit expansion approved subject to dust management and wildlife corridor conditions.
Galibier Materials Inc. appealed the Township of Springwater's failure to make a decision on applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit the expansion of an existing aggregate pit.
The Minister of Natural Resources also referred the associated Licence Application to the Tribunal.
Objectors raised concerns regarding air quality impacts from dust and the preservation of a wildlife corridor.
The Tribunal found that the proposed Dust Management Plan and revised phasing and rehabilitation plans adequately addressed the concerns.
The Tribunal allowed the appeals, approved the planning instruments, and directed the Minister to issue the licence subject to conditions, finding the proposal consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and in the public interest.
