CLAIM / MYTH: Only a small portion of gravel will be extracted from
below the water table.

REALITY: Capital Paving’s web site indicates their approach is to
maximize extraction from each site. “…when the aggregate supply from a
pit has been maximized, rehabilitation of the land begins.” The
application is for a Category 1 – Class “A” license for extraction from
below the established groundwater table.  The report states “there is a
substantial quantity of aggregate below the water table warranting
extraction”. Once the pit has been approved, Capital only has to go back
to the MNR for an amendment (no approval required from the Township or
Region) to extract this “substantial quantity”.
