"We won't be able to get gravel," he explained. The act regulates the operation and rehabilitation of sand and gravel pits and stone quarries in designated counties in the province. The operator must pay 2 cents a ton to the Treasury of Ontario for rehabilitation of the site. If he does the necessary rehabilitation when he closes the pit, the province returns the money the operator paid to the Treasury. Beginning in January 1981 this rehabilitation security will rise to 8 cents per metric tonne of aggregate taken from pit or quarry. County clerk treasurer Bill Hanley explained to council that most municipalities have requested all counties be designated to treat all gravel production areas the same. "These pits and quarries were a ghostly site on the landscape and every provincial association wanted them cleaned up. ", stated Hanley. The new bill, The Aggregate Act, still under consideration by the government will provide for management of aggre$ales, control of pits and quarries provide for rehabilitation and will maintain the en- vironment. All counties designated under the previous bill, the Pits and Quarries Control Act at 1971, will fall under the new legislation when it is The recent designation of Huron County townships under the Pits and Quarries ntrol Act is bitterly opposed by Huron county council. Morris Reeve Bill Elston raised the subject at a session of Huron County Council telling the county engineer he had learned most townships in the Wingham area were to be designated. County engineer Bob Dempsey told Elston he was not aware any townships in the county were to be designated. He said he was certain the county had made , their feelings clear last year when they replied to an Aggregatis Discussion Paper, telling the province they were not enthused about Huron townships being designated. Dempsey said he had not been contacted concerning the designation of Huron County but he would find out and report to council. A press • release from Queen's Park the following day informed the public that all of Huron County will be designated under the Pits and Quarries Control Act of 1971. Elston commented at the county council September 9 meeting that the provinces minority conservative government feared they would create too much controversy if they included the undesignated townships under the new 'Aggregatis Act which is to be—presented in the Legislature this year. "So they brought it in through the back door by an order in council including these oldbill desiofgna1971,tio"nsremarked with the Elston. "I want people to realize what's happening," added Elston. Howick Reeve Harold Robinson pointed out some Every county should protest it." commented Wingham Reeve Joseph Kerr. "The restriction isn't good.
