MERIDIAN PLANS TO CLEAR-CUT 34 ACRES OF FOREST IN THE WINTER OF 2017 / 2018

A meeting was held on November 29th between Burlington residents and Meridian Brick.  The purpose of this meeting, initiated by Meridian Brick, was to discuss the many concerns that the residents had with respect to the proposed Aldershot quarry expansion.  Check below for the highlights, or click here for the full story.


HIGHLIGHTS

Meridian will start tree cutting even if the Noise / Dust / Archaeological / Ecological studies are not completed

Meridian can change their Phasing Plan at any time - the end result will be the 'death' of ~9,000 trees

The quarry will be ~20 meters distance from some of the homes on Westhaven Drive.

We are unaware of any testing for carcinogens resulting from the current quarry digging operation

Many questions from the audience were not answered or were so vague / convoluted as to be meaningless.

Meridian's contempt for proper procedure seems to be a result of a 1972 license and our dismissive politicians
