Thomas Cavanagh Construction has applied to the City of Ottawa to reverse the existing EP3 environmental protection of 18 hectares of land immediately bordering Burnt Lands Provincial Park – a Nature Reserve class park at the intersection of March Road and Burnt Lands Road. The application seeks to expand the current aggregate quarry permit with the Government of Ontario for removing limestone aggregate through blasting, crushing, and other processing including significant water extraction from aquifers.
“Friends of Burnt Lands” – concerned citizens of Ottawa and Mississippi Mills – have asked the City of Ottawa and Ontario Government to reject the application. There is insufficient justification in the application to reverse the existing EP3 zoning / environmental protections.
