Hearing W¶W T -licf% n1 Most costly, says report from DUFFERIN on page Al ment of POWER and CONE that the Niagara Escarpmens is a unique area and that, for the most part, is to be protected and remain substantially in its naturat stase," the document reads. "On the otber band, a supply of aggre- gate as close to tbe market as possible is, as ses out in the Provincial Policy Statemens, also in the public interest." 15 goes on to say, "In balancing the two public interests, the board concludes, fromr a land-use planning perspective, that the removal of the aggregate from the expan- sion area is in the public insereus when the advansages from the final rehabilitated site are considered." The company plans toi make about 1,000 acres of its lands available for public use after being rehabilitated. Tbey'd be owned and managed by Conservation Halton (CH). "These lands will provide a significant sasses for public recreasion as well as improved water management on Sixteen Mile Creek," said Mr. Galloway. He explained thas a waser management I syssem agreement witb CH requires Duffenin to provide funding for the long- termi operasion of the syssemr and transfer ownership of the lakes, reservoirs and adja- cent lands once the lakes are filled. Duffenin'a past track record in rehabili- tatmng the Milton quarry was actually one of the factors that played into, the board approving tbe application. The decision paper went on to comsnend CONE. POWER and the members of the public that objected to the expansion. "The oppontents to the application should also be congratulated for the extraordinary effort that bas been made to address quar- rying in the consexs of Niagara Escarpmnent preservation," it said. "Efforts by the pub- lic have contributed te, a safer and consid- erably improved projecs and sve bave ordered '44 esstailed condifions to ensure this." Is also points out that the Dufferin hear- ing was one of the moss costly bearings held in Ontario's environmental bistory. The lengsby hearing saw detailed tecbni- cal evidence and over 270 exbibits filed by the parties involved. The expansion is supported by the Niagara Escarpment Commsission, Halton Region, towns of Milton and Halton HAills and CH.
