A follow up story to Public Meeting to be held ahead of quarry expansion proposal in Shelburne | FM101 Orangeville Today
On Saturday January 15th, NDACT held a public meeting in response to Strada Aggregate’s proposal to quarry below the water table at their pit near Honeywood.
During the meeting, NDACT solicited input from the community and stakeholders on NDACT’s proposed strategy with Strada Aggregates.
Key Components of NDACT’s Approach:
- Strada would be required to hire a Community Trusted Consultant and make them part of the Strada application development team.
- NDACT will be this community’s Communication conduit to Strada for the process duration.
- If the Community Trusted Consultant agrees with the science behind the application studies and should that science deem the application viable, NDACT is prepared not to challenge the application when it is filed.
- As part of NDACT’s agreement not to challenge the application, NDACT would require specific funding commitments from Strada to this community.
- Strada has communicated that if the science is not solid, they will not continue with their quest.
- We expect them to keep their word. Should Strada still pursue an application for a quarry NDACT would fully engage in opposing such a quest.
