The Ontario Land Tribunal ruled CBM Aggregates, a division of St. Marys Cement Inc. which operates over 60 gravel pits and quarries in Ontario, can expand the Lanci Pit by 14.8 hectares, or about 36.5 acres, with 10 hectares of that being the extraction area.
The original pit, located on Concession 2 just west of Aberfoyle, had a licensed area over 60 acres.
This expanded site directly south of the Lanci Pit has approximately up to four million tonnes of sand and gravel resources, said a CBM Aggregates website.
This is not a processing site but a “feeder pit” which would have extracted resources processed at the Aberfoyle South Pit on the other side of the road.
