What’s at stake?
If Premier Ford’s Minister approves James Dick Construction Ltd.’s (JDCL) licence application for an underwater aggregate mine and asphalt re-processing plant in Campbellville there could be severe consequences for the community including:
-
Blasting at the quarry could open pathways that allow surface toxins to contaminate groundwater.
-
Blasting may also affect Milton’s Kelso wellsfield and private wells of local residents.
-
Emissions from aggregate processing and asphalt re-processing could pollute the air with particulate matter. Particulate matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) is known to cause respiratory issues, cancer, and heart attacks.
-
Blasting could impact wildlife and provincially significantly wetlands
-
Flyrock from blasting can cause property damage, personal injury or even death. Hwy 401 is only 100 metres from some of the blast areas.
- Gravel trucks could haul heavy loads on local roads every 2 minutes during peak times of the day.
