MNRF Issues Notice of Completion for McClintock Quarry

We are extraordinarily disappointed to read the notice of completion for the McClintock Quarry, but this is not the end of the process. We should all be concerned about the dangerous precedent this sets - a quarry directly upstream from a pristine Harvey Lake which flows into Kawagama Lake and rock crushing and trucking all summer long a mere 400 metres from family cottages. So loud that Batcher Construction would need to build a three story berm and families would still experience  the highest allowable noise limits. This is a threat to the area's tourism and recreational industries. The area is already well supplied with aggregate, the operation will be performed by non-local contractors with no new jobs in the area --all for one family's inheritance. However, this is not the the final approval and we will vigorously object. We are hopeful the province will prioritize lake health and respect the Official Plan.
