Soil Processing Facility Expansion - Ramara Township
Official title: NRK Holdings Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)
A soil processing facility in Ramara Township wants to double its capacity. NRK Holdings is asking to process 6,000 tonnes of excess soil per day instead of 3,000. They also want to store more soil on-site, extend operating hours, and accept soil from across Canada instead of just Ontario.
Why This Matters
Live near Concession Road B-C in Ramara? This facility could see twice as many trucks hauling soil. Operating hours would start earlier at 6:30 a.m. and run six days a week. If you're concerned about noise, traffic, or dust, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
If approved, the facility could process up to 6,000 tonnes of soil daily and store nearly 111,000 tonnes on-site. Operating hours would expand to 6:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday. The service area would expand from Ontario-only to all of Canada.
Key Issues
- Should the daily processing capacity double from 3,000 to 6,000 tonnes?
- Should operating hours start earlier at 6:30 a.m. instead of 7:00 a.m.?
- Should the facility accept soil from across Canada instead of Ontario only?
