industrial auto life Elsewhere in Halloa there b a huge area between the Sixth sad Fifth Lines and north and south of 10 Sideroad has been designated or protection and lands north of Georgetown as Theres a small area near Scotch Block too a huge tract a continuation of the Urge area south west of Acton is designated as well lands west of Acton and some property east of Eden Urban and aggregate uses are clearly Incompat ible Sheldon said yet the lands to be protected for future extractions are right adjacent to Acton on both the east and south sides The lands to the east of town is where residential development is slated for the future too Sheldon fears if all of these lands were ever mined we d have haul routes all over the place around Acton This aggregate issue she says is a big problem or aD not just in the areas where development can take place until is if it is ever carried out and the areas which will be mined Everyone will be affected by haul routes and the cost of maintaining roads which will carry the heavy trucks Halton region produces three times more aggregate than Hamilton- and twice as much as Feel Sheldon noted Halton region is a major supplier of aggregate to southern Ontario and the biggest supply area in the region is In million tons of gravel and stone was produced In Halton and per cent of the supply coming out of Hills was exported to Metro Toronto market In fact she says 3Q per cent of the Metro market needs for aggregate conies from here What I can come to grips with is bow come we get the same provincial subsidies for our roads that municipalities which don t have all these gravel trucks driving around get We get the wear and tear but not the dollars All ratepayers here are footing the bill Sheldon declared Hills will become Toronto s If the aggregate industry in conjunction with the Ministry of Natural Resources la successful in turning Halton into a major supplier where s the incentive to look for long range alternatives when were to dose Sheldonasked She warned unless this move fa stopped and tt will be bard to halt proposal by the year instead of over million tons being estr mostly from HUT there will be million tons or more extracted annually Sheldon is also worried the Town will have or no control over the aggregate Industry in Hal ton Hills in the future With the region by the province and land frown until stone is ex traded it wont be bard to open a pit or quarry Sheldon explained the aggregate industry wont need a regional Official Plan amendment to open a quarry and the aggregate producers are also opposing having to come or a Kills Official Plan amendment The industry says can control some things through li Is true but Sheldon warns Halton Hills wont be able to decide the question if there will be a quarry or not to a specific location Miller observed region staff never consulted with Hub while formulating its new policy on aggregates One thing he b particularity concerned with land frozen or protected it will be up to the land owner to prove stone can be extracted economic ally not up to the industry to prove that the mineral should be protected In total be said acres of Halton pro perty would be protected Miller thinks that very excessive He estimates only 0aeresand that a generous has been mined in Hills over the past years So be asks why is so much land to be designated Councillors are suggesting enough land would be protected to provide I tone for years It takes the rights of property owners away Miller declared Not only will the property design be affected but property all around It Whiting b worried about full pit operations and blasting close to Acton He notes people in Acton feel blasting at now councillors receive complaints about the blasting However Whiting says there a big difference now In the case of many people have moved here after the quarry started But with thb new situation the people are here first and the quarries
