Hog's Back Gravel Pit Official Plan Amendment

The applicant is proposing to establish a licensed aggregate extraction operation (gravel pit) on the subject property. The Hog’s Back Pit would be a Class ‘A’ pit with a proposed annual tonnage of 100,000 tonnes. The applicant proposes to license 13.38 hectares of which 5.77 hectares is slated for extraction. A County Official Plan Amendment is required because the applicant seeks to establish a Mineral Resource Extraction Area partially outside of the Aggregate Resource Area mapping shown on Schedule B of the County’s Official Plan, and within a mapped Core area, shown on Schedule C. An amendment to the Township of Southgate's Official Plan has also been submitted, along with a Zoning By-Law Amendment.
