Does the Niagara Escarpment Plan contemplate future needs for additional areas for mineral resource extraction?
A. Existing pits and quarries are designated as Mineral Resource Extraction Area in the approved Plan. Land-use policies, objectives and development criteria provide for extractive operations, after uses and new mineral resource extraction areas. New extraction areas producing less than 20,000 tonnes per year are permitted in the Rural Area without Plan Amendment. New extraction areas producing more than 20,000 tonnes may also be designated in the Rural Area by Plan Amendment.
