In November, Fidelity purported to submit responses to these questions and concerns on CRAA’s chart. In fact, Fidelity had not addressed most of them at all, as the CRAA showed in a point-by point rebuttal it submitted to the Ministry in December Review the detailed chart of concerns, responses and rebuttals.
In summary, Fidelity confirms its proposal would support overnight work on a Highway 401 expansion, with heavy truck access via Telephone Road. It provided no studies to answer Council’s questions, or refute impacts detailed by local environmental and traffic experts presented by the CRAA, including Impacts to air and groundwater quality. Fidelity provided no public operational plan to manage these key risks and impacts, relying entirely on Ministry oversight to address them.
Fidelity fails to note that the existing gravel pit is not operational, such that additional truck trips would be needed to supply gravel to the plant. It also fails to address other conflicts with environmental and planning laws and policies identified by the CRAA’s lawyers. Fidelity simply asks the Ministry to override Council’s refusal to approve the requested 24/7 operations, based on strong public opposition.
