Permanent Asphalt and Concrete Plants at Clarington Quarry
Official title: Dufferin Aggregates, a Division of CRH Canada Group Inc. - Changes to the site plan for a pit or quarry
Dufferin Aggregates wants to add a permanent asphalt plant and concrete batching plant to their existing quarry near Clarington in Durham Region. The site already operates under an Aggregate Resources Act licence. This would make the industrial operations at this location permanent rather than temporary.
Why This Matters
Live near this quarry in Clarke Township? You could see more truck traffic and industrial activity becoming a permanent fixture. Nearby well owners and residents within 120 metres have already been notified, but anyone concerned about dust, noise, or traffic can weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, the quarry licence would be amended to allow permanent asphalt and concrete production on site. This means industrial manufacturing could continue indefinitely at this location, not just during temporary construction projects.
Key Issues
- Should permanent asphalt and concrete plants be allowed at this quarry site?
- What are the potential impacts on nearby residents and the environment?
