Photo by Ted Brown Quarry expansion plans put on hold CYNTHIA GAMBLE Staff Writer Dufferin Aggregates will not make a decision on whether to expand the Acton Quarry until least the fall. Andrea Bourrie, Dufferin Aggregates property and resources manager, told Halton Hills council at a recent meeting that a spring decision has been postponed until studies are completed this spring and summer to ensure that the proposal is technically sound. "I made a commitment that Dufferin will not submit an application until we are sure of our business decision and we are sure that the application that is going to be submitted is comprehensive and as technically sound as it could be. We're not there yet, and so you won't see an application until we're ready," Bourrie said. While no application has yet been filed to expand the quarry by about 500 acres, the company has been working with Halton Region and other agencies in a JART (Joint Agency Review Team) pre-consultation process since June 2006. Last month, Bourrie said the current quarry-- about 15 million tonnes-- would be mined out in five to six years. This year the plan is to finish quarrying the remaining corner of Phase 2, but the majority of the work will be done in Phase 3, mining in a westerly direction. Dufferin is in the process of setting up an After Use Vision Advisory Committee to develop options for the Phases 1-3 of the quarry after the mining is completed including trails, reforestation or public use.
