Proposed Flamborough Quarry Haul Route Study

St Marys Cement is conducting a Haul Route Study for the proposed Flamborough quarry located on 11th Concession Road East at Milburough Line. This study is being carried out in accordance with the Terms of Reference prepared and required by the City of Hamilton, April 2006.

Members of the public are invited to attend the fourth and final Public Information Centre (PIC) related to the Haul Route Study. The purpose of PIC #4 is to present the preliminary findings of the haul route study – specifically, the evaluation of the alternative haul routes and recommendations for the preferred haul route – and to provide an opportunity for the public to comment on the preliminary findings before the haul route study results are finalized.

At the completion of the study, a preferred haul route will be selected and added to our application for review by the Municipality.

At the meeting there will be a formal presentation by iTrans Consulting Inc. - view presentation. You can view the poster boards presented at the meeting. There will also be an update provided on the Permit to Take Water and the clean up of the site.
