B ring Home Firsi Moose of Season ment enacted the Pits and Quarries and Control Act which currently covers 278 municipalities, most of which are located in Southern Ontario. The Act ýnot only specifies operational standards which ensure that land réclamation will take place after the minerai resource has been mincd., To encourage and provide incentive for rehabilitation, the Act currently requires an annual sccurity of 2 cents per ton of materiai removed from a pit or quarry. This security is collected for the duration of the operation, and upon completion of an approved rehabilitation program, the operator is entitled to a refund of ahl security held on deposit. In the short time that the Act has been in force (most of the townships in the Lindsay - Peterborough area were not designated until 1975), many operators have experimented with different types of réhabilitation, the more common ones being agricýul- ture, recreation, residential development and sanitary waste disposai. Some of the operators have even won awards for their achievements in land reclamation. Since The Pits and Quarries Control Act is relatîvely new and due to the fact that many of the more northern municipalities in Southern Ontario were only recently designated, the effects of the rehabilitation, program have not yet been f uily recognized. One unfortunate circumstance is the many inactive sites that have been left in an undesirable state by previous operators. However it is feit that with the greater awarencss of the benefits that site enhancement of pits and quarriés can provide owners of abandoned pits will also considèr rehabilitation work. Hopefully with the combined groups involved, Ontario's minerai aggregate industry will provide a better image and a more acceptable rapport with the public.

IThe Role of Si For statistical purposes, small business is defmned as manufacturing firms cmploying fewer than 100 workers and firms in other sectors employing fewer than 50 workcrs. There are approx- imately 800,000 such enterprises in business in Canada. 0f the 800,000 smali businesses, approximately 240,000 are incorporated whilc some 360,000 are unincorpor- ated partncrships and pro- prietorships where owners are substantially dependent on income from àt he business, There are also some 200,000 professionals ' and commissioncd sales personnel whose business activities would tend to include them as small enterpreneurs. The impact of this El riall BusinessI community's presence is such that, in 1973, 88 per cent of al Canadian bsinesses employed 100 workers or less--and of these, 80 per cent cmployed. fewer than 50 people. In 1974 small, firms employed 1,850,000 Canadians, accounting for 33 per cent of Uic private sector work force., Production by small enterprises accounts for up to 20 per cent of the value of al goods and services produced in Canada. In the primary manufactur- ing, sector there * werc 15,701 businesses in 1974. Small businesses accounted for 78.4 per cent of them.

Natural Rmesources News Rehabilitation of Pits and Quarries In recent years there has been considerable provincial and local concen expressed regarding the need to rehabil- itate pits and quarries. During the 1950's and 6's, a fremendous' increase ini DIRK 8RINKMAN sasS Scugcg st., Bowmanvllle State Farm Fire and asualty Company population and urbanization occurred in Southern Ontario, particuiarly ini the Toronto ccntred region. This ultimately led to expansion in the production and consumption of raw minerai aggregates such as sand, gravel and crushed limestone. Today, as thc population increases and urbanization continues to sprcad, there remlains an ever increasing dcmand for sources of aggregates to build highways, high-rise apartments and office buildings. Unfortunately, before 1970 there was no provincial legisiation governîng the operation of pits and quarries. As a resuit, the industry was basically left on its own to operate extraction sites anyway it pleased. The most common practice, of course, was to extract the maximum amount of raw materiai at minimum cost and then quickly abandon the source upon completion. Consequently the industry develo ped a bad image 'and soon the publ ic was demnanding some form of control.
