NDACT works toward quarry agreement
NDACT is asking property owners to hold off on allowing Strada Aggregates access to their land until a formal agreement is in place between the two parties.
Section 12 (e) of the Aggregate Resources Act states that an applicant must show if there are any possible effects on ground and surface water resources including private wells and natural water features. Studies will be conducted on properties within one kilometre of the proposed quarry site near Shelburne.
“We are working with Strada to negotiate the creation of a fund to be established should the application be approved. This fund will assist certain landowners to remedy water problems experienced during the lifetime of the quarry,” said NDACT chair Karren Wallace.
NDACT has proposed that if the science behind the Strada Application Studies is deemed viable, NDACT is prepared to not challenge the application.
