6. EXTRACTIVE RESOURCES
a) INTRODUCTION
Sand and gravel is an important resource and
one which is becoming more difficult to obtain
due to competing uses, especially recreation.
Grey Township has several areas of potential
significance to the sand and gravel industry.
These areas have not yet developed in such a
way as to preempt the use of the resources. It
is ,important to protect this resource, arid to
allow for its proper use arid rehabilitation.
b) DEFINITION
Areas classed as "Extractive Resources" are
those areas of certain geological formations,.
Such as eskers and moraines, which often
yield gravel and/or sand hi commercial
quantities, In these areas the extraction of
sand, gravel, stone, etc, and accessory
buildings will be allowed.
c) GOALS
The following goals for extractive resources
arc adopted:
1) to identify and designate areas where
potential extractive resources may be
be found.
PAGE: 6B THE, BRUSSELS oast
ii) to allow for the utilization of the
resources with a minimum of impact on
the surrounding area.
iii) to provide for the rehabilitatiOn of
these areas for other uses once the resource
has been utilized,
d)
To achieve these goals the following policies
are adopted:
i) The designation of extractive resource.
areas was based on. the identification of
areas with potential deposits of sand
and gravel and not through analysis of
the deposits themselves. Hence, if it is
determined through site analysis that
the extraction of the resource is not
feasible, then consideration. can be
given to changing the land use desig,
nation.
ii) It is intended that extractive operation
not in an area designated extractive. re-
sources will over time cease to exist.
However, enlargement of existing pits
may be allowed by Council subject to
the policies of this section and the
goals and policies of the area in which
it is located. Such an enlargement will
not require an amendment to this plan
but will require an amendment to the
zoning by-law. •
iii) It is not the intention of this Plan to
prohibit wayside pits, A wayside pit is
defined as a temporary pit opened •
solely for the purpose of a particular
contract for road construction. Prior to
the establishment of a wayside pit the
Council will be advised • by its Road
Superintendent that the pit qualifies as
a wayside pit. Although the face of a
wayside pit need not be closed after
every contract, a rehabilitation plan
and the capacity of the pit must be
filed upon opening.
iv) The opening of new pits will be
controlled by the Restricted Area
(zoning) by-law and all new pits will re-
quire a rezoning. 'In applying for a
rezoning the applicant must provide
the following:
a site development plan which shall
include:
: the true. shape, topography, con-
tours, dimensions„ acreage, and
location of the property , to be
developed as well as the extent of
adjacent property held for future
pit or quarry operations;
: the existing use of all land and the
location and use of all buildings
and structures lying within a dis-
tance of 500 feet from the land that
is to be the subject of the extractive
operation;
existing and anticipated final
grades of excavation, shown by
contours where necessary. as well
as excavation setbacks;
: Location of proposed buildings if
any; - •
: drainage provisions;
: all entrances and exits;
a rehabilitation plan which shall
include:
: as far as possible, ultimate pit de-
velopment, progressive and ulti-
mate road plan, any water
diversion or storage, location of
stockpiles for stripping and
products, progressive and ultimate
rehabilitation, and the intended
use of the land after the extractive
operations have ceased. •
v) An applicant who wishes to undertake
an extractive operation must enter into
a development agreement with the
Municipality. This agreeMent shall be
entered into prior to Council's' enact-
ment of the implementing zoning
by-law referred to in subsection d (iii
Such an agreement should include:
: arrangements for the specific re:

after use. or in stages during use:
a guarantee that the operation of
the extractive industry will
continue to be conducted in accor-

standards of the sand and gravel
industry;
assurances acceptable to Council,
such as to posting of a performance
bond, that rehabilitation wilt take
place;
routes to be used for hattInge
poses;
: arrangements for a tree screen for
visual buffering where required:
provision that no polluted water
