bounty throws reluctant si
13ehind new Pits & Quarri
Huron County Council has
thrown its support behind the
proposed new .legislation to
regulate sand and gravel pits
and stone quarries in On-
tario.
However quite a number of
the reeves and deputy reeves
on the council have yet to be
convinced the legislation is a
good thing, predicting it will
lead to higher gravel prices
and monopolization "of the
industry.
Council voted 28=21 to
approve a recommendation
from its mineral aggregate
study committee that it
support the passing of Bill
127„ an Act to Revise the Pits
and Quarries Act 1W71.
The recommendation
noted that Huron has been
brought under the existing
Act in any ease — a situation
council was told it couldn't
do anything about — so the
county might as well press
for passage of the new Act
and take advantage of some
of its favorable features.
County Erligineer Bob
Dempsey explained the neiv
Act would provide rebates to
assist with the maintenance
of roads used for hauling
gravel and with rehabilita-
tion of abandoned pits.
A silt cent per tonne levy
would be charged "onall
gravel taken front a pit,to be
returned in the form ' of
rebates. Four cents would go
to the local _ municipality,
half a cent to the.county half
a Cent for rehabilitation of
abandoned pits and,one cent
'to the provincial govern-
ment: - __ .. _. _.. - `:.
'Phis lett would- be ip
addition to the eight cent per
tonne levy already provided
under the existing Act as a
security deposit to ensure pit
rehabilitation.
Mr. Dempsey pointed out
that Bruce, Grey and Huron
counties already have been
designated as supply coun-
ties for the urban areas of
London, Sarnia and even
Toronto. He said he is con-
cerned that "we're going to
get an awful lot more truck
traffic hauling gravel to
other areas", a lot of it over
county roads.
The new Act would return
some money to help main-
tain the roads, he noted. "As
county engineer, I wouldn't
mind having the money."
He also pointed out that the
.new Act would providesome
money for rehabilitation of
old, abandoned gravel pits
which are not covered under
the,.existing. legislation.
Some councillors, how-
ever, were not convinced all
this legislation would be a
agood ithing. Morris 'Town-
ship Reeve Bi1I Elst was
Most outspoken against the
regulations now being _op-
, plied to pit owners and oper-
ators.-
"It's like the Mafia moving
into a certain sector of the
enterprise and sooner or
later they take the whole
thing over and you 'have to
pay what they , ask. _That's
what's going to happen;" he
- declared

operators will be :forced out

olization will drive up the
cost of gravel to the point
that small municipalities
won't be able to operate, he
charged.
He said he knows "there's
nothing we can do", but he
called for a recorded vote to
"seewho's in favo'1• of this".
Wingham Reeve Joe Kerr,
who operates a large gravel.
business in the county, also
spoke out against the
legislation, which he claimed
will add 20 cents a yard to the
price of gravel for licencing,
security deposit and fencing.
It won't hurt him, he said,
since he will just pass the'
increase along the taxpayer
will be the one bearing the
extra cost.
He also disagreed with Mr.
Dempsey's' claim—. that
Wellington County, which
has been designated under
the Act for a number of
years, doesn't find the
legislation time consuming
ora burden.
Wellington County likes
the Pits and Quarries Act so
well3it came out and bought
gravel from Howick Town-
ship and claimed it saved 50
cents a yard, he told council.
„Grant Stirling, Goderich
Township reeve, declared
the Act "will just create jobs
for more fat cats".

members, though, who felt.
the legislation is badly
needed and should be sup-
ported.
"It's really too bad this bill
is 20 years late in coming,”
declared Goderich Deputy
Reeve Bob Allen.
He noted
there already is a
tremendous flow of gravel
out of the county and it will
continue. Without Bill 127 it
will continue to flow, and
there will be nothing coming
back to the county.
It undoubtedly will in-
crease the cost of aggregate,
he said, but it will be the
