Georgian Aggregates operates various aggregate mining operations throughout the Georgian Bay area. Prior to licensing an aggregate operation detailed geologic and hydrogeologic assessments are done of the site. The purpose of the studies are two-fold:

1. to assess the value and quality of the aggregate to be extracted

2. to determine environmental measures required to minimize the impacts of the aggregate operation on the environment

Georgian Aggregates is committed to the protection of the environment. The information from the initial assessment reports is used to develop environmental monitoring and prevention programs.

Georgian Aggregates conducts extensive water monitoring programs in the vicinity of each of our locations. Both ground and surface water is monitored for quality and quantity.

Georgian Aggregates in conjunction with the professional consulting firm of Jagger Hims, manages the water monitoring program. Annually, assessment reports are prepared by Jagger Hims and used by Georgian Aggregates to assess the environmental performance of operation.

Georgian Aggregates Quarry operations utilize a vibration monitoring program to monitor vibrations caused from blasting. The monitoring information is compared to Ministry of the Environment guidelines and used to adapt blast patterns to minimize impact to our neighbours.

On an annual basis, starting in June 2002, aggregate operations are required to estimate air emissions under Ontario Ministry of the Environment under Ontario Regulation 127/01.

This program requires our sites to estimate their yearly emissions of particulate matter and other parameters using an emissions modeling software program. Georgian Aggregates have made these reports available through this web page.
