A FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE MEGA QUARRY

Well my first unworthy thought is that Boy does the M.O.E. have confidence in their ability to control the outcome of an E.A. . Second thoughts are O.K. this can't be a bad thing. There's always a chance that it will be on the up and up. This proposed limestone quarry near Shelbourne Ontario may very well impact a number of rivers which flow into and through southern Ontario including the Grand river. Saturday's K-W record carrys this story with the title "Province calls for review of proposed huge quarry".

The Highland Companies are behind the bid for this quarry but are facing substantial opposition from farmers, environmentalists and even a few politicians from the Guelph area including Frank Valeriote and Michael Chong.
