Wellington Site

The Lafarge Wellington site, located at 7051 Wellington Road 124 commenced operation in the 1970s. During this time it was periodically operated as a sand and gravel quarry under the Aggregate Resources Act (ARA; Ontario 1990). The site also hosts a Ready Mix Concrete plant operated by Lafarge and an Asphalt plant operated by another company under a lease.

Stone and gravel are essential building materials for Ontario’s infrastructure.  With considerable investments being made by all governments in infrastructure projects and the exhaustion of other local quarry resources, the Wellington site being readied to re-commence aggregate production under its existing license.  Before recommencing operations, amendments to the existing Permit to take Water (Number 2718-7S3RM7) and Environmental Compliance Approval (Certificate of Approval Number 0290-6PHGPS) are required.  If approved, this will allow Lafarge to meet local infrastructure demands.
