What about living close to a quarry and their prolific and noisy rock crushing?

If it is a legally licensed and operating pit/quarry, these concerns would be addressed through the pit/quarry license and the Aggregate Resources Act.
Share Hello
My question pertains relates to this:
“proposed regulation limits rock crushing to specifically zoned or licensed areas, such as MP or MQ zones, that are licensed for pit or quarry operations by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR).”
How close can licensed pits be to residential areas? Or any residence for that matter?
Even if the crushing happens in a licensed pit, that pit may still be far too close to homes in terms of noise, dust and air pollution.
I am glad the township is paying attention to this matter and hopefully will no longer ignore the concerns of the public. on Facebook

If it is a legally licensed and operating pit/quarry, these concerns would most likely be addressed through the operating license/the Aggregate Resources Act.
Establishing a new pit/quarry takes into consideration the Provincial Planning Statement and the Official Plan.

Thank you for sharing your perspective on rock crushing in Seguin Township.
Share I don't have a question but I have a comment on this proposed by-law. Given that each by-law is designed to solve a problem, and each by-law will carry with it and obligation to manage, enforce etc... I think the township needs to do more to explain the current situation that is necessitating the by-law. For example... what problem are we trying to solve by adding a new regulation to the township? Is it reducing nuisances? Don’t we already have by-laws in effect to handle noice complaints etc etc? How many rock crushing complains does the township receive each year? Is it from one person/area or is this a systemic problem?
My point is... without adequate context as to how big of a problem this is, it's impossible to comment if this proposal will actually solve the problem. Maybe this is a major issue and deserves attention. But Right now.. in absence of a problem statement, I don't think you need this bylaw at all. So I propose to cancel it.
Going forward, may I suggest a summary of the problem statement (ie facts that justify that the issue at hand is large enough to warrant a new regulation) be included with every new proposed by law. This will encourage a discussion around materiality so the township focuses on the right items.
In addition, to ensure the township doesn’t get too bloated, do we publish the number or regulations that have been created/canceled each year? It might be a good guiding principle that for every new by-law that’s created, one needs to be cancelled.
Thx
