Quarry Depth Expansion Near Brechin - R.W. Tomlinson Site Plan Amendment
Official title: R.W. Tomlinson Limited - Changes to the site plan for a pit or quarry
R.W. Tomlinson Limited wants to dig deeper at their existing quarry near Brechin in Kawartha Lakes. The company is asking to amend their site plan to lower the extraction depth across the entire site. They also want to remove outdated references to a municipal road allowance.
Why This Matters
Live within a few kilometres of this quarry? Deeper extraction could mean more truck traffic, noise, and dust over a longer period. If you rely on well water nearby, the Level 2 Water Report submitted with this application is worth reviewing.
What Could Change
If approved, the quarry could extract aggregate from deeper levels than currently permitted. The site plan would be updated to reflect the new extraction limits. Nearby landowners within 120 metres have already been notified.
Key Issues
- Should the extraction depth be lowered across the entire quarry site?
- Are the water impact findings in the Level 2 Water Report adequate?
