Soil Processing Facility Expansion in Ramara Township - NRK Holdings

Official title: NRK Holdings Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)

Open Regulations & Permits Environment & Climate
A soil processing facility in Ramara Township wants to double its daily capacity from 3,000 to 6,000 tonnes. They're also asking to expand their service area from Ontario-only to all of Canada, and to store more soil on-site. The site handles non-hazardous excess soil from construction projects.

Why This Matters

Live near Concession Road B-C in Ramara? This could mean more truck traffic six days a week. The facility would also start earlier, at 6:30 a.m. instead of 7:00 a.m. If you rely on well water nearby, you may want to review the proposal.

What Could Change

If approved, the facility could process twice as much soil daily and accept material from across Canada, not just Ontario. Operating hours would start 30 minutes earlier. Storage capacity would increase from 67,000 to over 110,000 tonnes.

Key Issues

  • Should the daily processing capacity be doubled from 3,000 to 6,000 tonnes?
  • Should the service area expand from Ontario to all of Canada?
  • Should operating hours start earlier at 6:30 a.m. instead of 7:00 a.m.?
  • Should on-site storage capacity increase from 67,000 to over 110,000 tonnes?
