CLAIM / MYTH:  The site will be rehabilitated back to full agricultural
use in 7-10 years.

REALITY: There is no commitment in the proposal to terminate this
operation in 7 years, 10 years… or EVER. Capital’s report to the MNR
states “agricultural rehabilitation is not required if there is a
substantial quantity of aggregates below the water table warranting
extraction”. 

(From the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario): MNR data indicates
that every year over 1,000 hectares of land in Ontario is disturbed by
aggregate operations, and only some 460 hectares are being
rehabilitated.
