Description
This is to advise on February 15, 2018, Dexter Construction Company Limited registered the Money Point Quarry Expansion Project for environmental assessment, in accordance with Part IV of the Environment Act.
The purpose of the proposed undertaking is to expand the existing quarry located at 342 6014 Road, Bay Road Valley, Victoria County, Nova Scotia. The existing quarry has been in operation for approximately 20 years. The land associated with the expanded quarry will occupy a maximum of 13 hectares, which includes the existing quarry footprint. A project life of up to 40 years is expected. The expanded quarry will support continued extraction and production of aggregate of approximately 50,000 tonnes/year for use primarily in the road construction industry in Victoria County. It is intended that the ongoing use of the quarry will be identical, or very similar, to what has taken place at the site since its inception. Subject to market demand, the anticipated expansion start date is during the 2018 construction season.
