The Ministry of Natural Resources has made changes under the Aggregate Resources Act to expand the list of small or routine site plan changes to an existing pit or quarry that can be self -filed (subject to conditions). The ministry has also implemented a new policy for amending an existing aggregate licence, permit or site plan where approval by the ministry is required. On August 18, 2023, Ontario Regulation 244/97 was amended to add additional site plan changes that can be made without ministry approval when certain conditions and eligibility criteria are met. For a complete list of these changes, conditions and eligibility criteria, please refer to section 7.2 of the regulation, which can be viewed at: httDS://www.ontario.ca/laws/reaulation/970244 In addition, the ministry has introduced a new amendment policy that clarifies the requirements and approach to public notification and consultation, as well as provides direction on the requirements when applying for an amendment, and guides ministry decision -making for amendment applications (including what constitutes significant and non -significant amendments). Effective immediately, this policy replaces 14 existing aggregate policies and procedures. For a complete list, please refer to the decision notice. To view the complete details of this decision, please click on the link above or visit the Environmental Registry of Ontario at ero.ontario.ca and search for ERO number 019- 6767.

As demand for electricity continues to grow in the area, Hydro One is planning for a new transmission line to ensure the region continues to have clean and reliable power along with the resiliency and capacity to support future growth. The need for this transmission line was identified by the Independent Electricity System Operator, the organization responsible for planning for the province's future energy needs. Project description Hydro One is initiating a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to construct a new double -circuit 230 kilovolt (kV) transmission line between Clarington Transformer Station located in the Municipality of Clarington and Dobbin Transformer Station, located in the City of Peterborough. Hydro One is prioritizing the use of existing transmission corridors, where possible. However, as part of the Class EA, Hydro One has identified two route alternatives for a portion of the new transmission line as shown on the map and online HydroOne.com/DKPL. These route alternatives will be studied and evaluated to ultimately select a preferred route for the new line. This project involves work at the terminal stations to facilitate the transmission line connections. Planning process The Class EA will follow the "Class Environmental Assessment for Transmission Facilities" (Class EA, 2024), in accordance with the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This process applies to transmission infrastructure projects that are carried out routinely and have predictable environmental effects that can be readily managed to ensure that potential natural, economic, social, and cultural effects are thoroughly considered before a project begins. Following completion of the Class EA, the project will also require Ontario Energy Board (OEB) approval under Section 92 (Leave to Construct) of the Ontario Energy Board Act. The in-service date is expected no later than 2029. We want to hear from you As planning and development for these new lines begins, we will continue .. • - engaging with Indigenous communities, local community members, residents 5- and businesses to ensure their feedback is reflected in the planning process, where possible. We invite you to join one of our upcoming Community Open • Houses to learn more about the project, ask our team any questions and feedback. e A provide ;� M Page 34 hydrone Durham Karwartha Power Line Project Map Legend • Station/Junction Route Alternative A Route Alternative B Preferred Route Existing Transmission Line Local study area (500 M on either side of the route centerline) 0 Municipal boundary First Nation community Waterbody Roads N ° 5 10 is Kilometers TOWNSHIP TOWNSHIP PREFERRED ROUTE OF SELWYN OF I,� / OUR" -OUMME \\\ MUNICIPALITY / c Dobbin , OF CLARINGTON ROUTE ALTERNATIVEA -� - ' a\G\,wP"' •� Transformer ` Station CITY O CITY OF Po RE°\0 PETE RBO ROU H OSHAWA � CITY OF KAWARTHA A m LAKES r PREFERRED R / o A `fir Clarington Transformer Station \ TOWNSHIP OF TOWNSHIP �c i� OTONABEE-SOUTH OF BROCK £ MONAGHAN It Lake TOWNSHIP Hiawatha ' Scugog OF CAVAN First Nation36 MONAGHAN MiScugas \ offScUgog /\ Island N`GNWP,,P �P 5 Rice Lake �G TOWNSHIP OF SCUGOG TOWNSHIP OF HAM ILTON ® MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON MUNICIPALITY OF PORT HOPE na wP` N� CITY OF OSHAWA Clarington Transformer Station TOWN OF WHITBY Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act All personal information included in your request - such as name, address, telephone number and property location - is collected, under the authority of section 30 of the Environmental Assessment Act and is collected and maintained for the purpose of creating a record that is available to the general public.
