REPORT #: PD-8-89 FILE #: PLN 21.1
SUBJECT: CURRENT AGGREGATE EXTRACTION ACTIVITY
REGIONAL ROAD 20
OUR FILE: PLN 21.1
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-8-89 be received for information; and
2. THAT a copy of this report be forwarded to the Region of Durham and the
Ministry of Natural Resources, Lindsay.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 On June 6, 1988, Committee considered Staff Report PD-115-88 in respect of
Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning applications submitted by Canada
Building Materials (C.B.M.) for a proposed mineral aggregate extraction
area in Lots 29, 30 & 31, Concession 10, former Township of Clarke.
Committee directed Staff (Resolution #GPA-386-88) to prepare an update of
current aggregate activity in the area of the C.B.M. site, including but not
restricted to, extraction data, traffic counts, financial impacts,
sterilization of land use, and routing and restrictions.

_______________________________________________________________________________
1.2 For the purposes of this review, Staff examined the entire length of
Regional Rood 20 as it zOuo between Regional Road 57 and Highway 35.
There are a total of 14 aggregate extraction operations mIuog Regional
Road 30, including 7 in Mauveca Township (see Attachment #l) .
2. CD8IB0NT EXTRACTION DATA
2.1 Licence information for 1987 for the 14 subject pits is shown on
Attachment 0o. 3. Individual production figures are confidential.
Total production for I987 for the 14 pits was 4,023,300 tonnes or
approximately 46% of the permitted auooaI tonnage. The pits in
Darlington and Clarke accounted for 697,493 tonnes or approximately 21%
of the permitted aouoaI tonnage of the 7 pits in the Town of Newcastle.
2.2 Aggregate production levels in the Town of Newcastle and in Mauveco
Township have increased significantly over the past few years. Most
notably, total production for all of Mouvero Township in 1987
(4,634,056 tonnes) was almost 250% higher than the average annual
production for the years 1475 to 1986, and 70% greater than 1985 total
production. Approximately 72% of the 1987 total aggregate production
for Mnuveco Township was extracted from Pit Nos. 8 to 14 as abnwu on
Attachment 0V. l.
2.3 Total aggregate production in the Town of Newcastle in 1987 was
2,137,890 tonnes. This ceDceoeota a 530 increase over the average
0000al production for the years 1975 to 1986' and an 88% increase over
1985 production. Approximately 33% of the total aggregate produced in
1987 in the Town was extracted from Pits l to 7 as shown by Attachment
0o. l.
3.4 Ministry of Natural Resources Staff have also indicated that aggregate
producers, in particular the larger aggregate companies, have shown an
increased interest in recent months in aggregate extraction operations
in the Darlington-Clarke-Mmuvera area.

3. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ALONG REGIONAL ROAD 30
3.1 Attachment 0n. I also indicates the general location of existing
residences along Regional Road 20 which have direct access to the road.
There are approximately 24 existing zealdeuoea' with 21 of these being
located in Darlington, 2 in Clarke, and lI in Maovera. As well,
there are m further 17 non-aggregate related vacant lots which are
zoned appropriately for the issuance of residential building permits.
Fourteen of these lots are located in Darlington, 3 are in Clarke.
There are none located in Mouveca.
4. REGIONAL IB]&D 30
4.1 Regional Road 20 is designated by the Durham Regional official Plan as
a Type 'B/ Arterial Road. It is a two-lane road, 12.4 km in length,
and has a speed limit of 80 km per hour. The stretch east of Regional
Road 14 (7.6 km) is considered to be in good condition, with a platform
width (surface width plus obuuIdec width) ranging from I0.7m to I1.9m
and a right-of-way width of %O.lm. The Regional Official Plan states
that Type `B' arterial roads are intended to have a right-of-way width
of 26m to 36.5m.
5. TRAFFIC COUNTS
5.1 At the request of the Town of Newcastle, the Regional Works Department
conducted manual turning movement noouta on September 20, 1988 at the
intersection of Regional Road 20 and Regional Road 57, and also at the
intersection of Regional Road 20 and Highway 35. Counts were conducted
between 6:00 a.m. and I0:00 a.m., and 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. , with
passenger vehicles and trucks being differentiated. Gravel trucks were
not counted separately. The total count information for vehicles,
including trucks, entering and exiting Regional Road 20 is summarized
on Attachment 0o. 3.
L
REPORT NO. : PD-8-84 PAGE 4
_______________________________________________________________________________
5.2 The traffic count indicates that, over the 8 hour count period, there
was a total of 1562 vehicle trips on Regional Road 20. Trmnha
accounted for 648 trips or 41.5& of all vehicle trips. The 648 truck
trips is further broken down into 305 inbound and 343 outbound trips
via the intersections at Regional Road 57 and Highway 35.
5.3 of the 305 inbound truck trips, I50 (49%) of the trucks 000eoaed
Regional Road 20 through the intersection with Regional Road 57, while
155 (51%) of the tcooka accessed the road via Highway 35. & total of
347 (81#) of the inbound truck trips originated from the south.
5.4 Of the 343 outbound truck trips, 256 (76%) of the trucks exited via the
intersection with Regional Rood 57, while 87 (25%) of the tconko exited
vim the intersection with Highway 35. & total of 289 (84%) of the
oothmoud tcunhe go south.
5.5 A traffic count was not conducted at the intersection of Regional Roads
20 and 14. Regional Works Staff have indicated that the road is of a
poorer standard than Regional Roads 57 and 20 and is generally not used
by trucks hauling aggregate.
5.6 An estimate of the Average Annual Doily Traffic (A.A.D.T.) for Regional
Rood 28 calculated from the traffic count data indicates a total of
1130 truck trips per day. As well' a calculation of doily truck
traffic based on the I987 production levels of the 14 subject pits
along Regional Road 20 indicates approximately 1000 truck trips Dec day
along the road.
5.7 An automatic traffic counter located by the Region on Regional Road 30
immediately west of Best Road indicated that, on Monday, September 36,
1988, there was a total of 812 eastbound and 1421 westbound vehicles.
This count information does not differentiate between trucks and
passenger vehicles. However, it does confirm that the majority of
vehicles exit Regional Road 80 through the intersection with Regional
Road 57.

REPORT 0O. : pD-8-89 PAGE S
_______________________________________________________________________________
5.8 Planning Department Staff requested the consultant for C.B.M. to
provide projections of the volumes of truck traffic which would be
generated by the proposed C.B.M. extraction operation. The truck
volumes no projected by C.B.M. ' as shown on Attachment 0o. 4, are based
on anticipated levels of production. These projections indicate 200
truck trips a day will be generated by the new operation by their sixth
year of production.
5.9 It should be noted that a considerable degree of uncertainty exists in
projecting levels of Dcudootiou/ as calculations are based on forecasts
of market demand. A slower than anticipated economy would result in
lower levels of production than those indicated, while increased demand
could generate higher levels.
5.10 C.B.M. has argued that, iuoamunb as their extraction operation would
obtain a share of the existing aggregate market rather than generate
additional demand, the number of truck loads being hauled eI*ug Regional
Road 30 would remain the same. It is possible that C.8.M. 'a new
operation *moId out into the production level from other pits in the
area. However, it in also more likely that the market demand currently
net by aggregate extraction operations in other areas such as Uxbridge
and Scogog Townships could shift to the new pit.
6. ROUTING AND RESTRICTIONS
6.1 Haul Routes
6.1.1 The traffic count data indicates that the number of inbound truck trips
to Regional Rood 30 is more or less evenly divided between Regional
Road 57 and Highway 35. However, the data also indicates that
approximately 3 times as many outbound trucks exit via Regional Road 57
than via Highway 35. One apparent reason for this Dcefecauoe by
outbound trucks for Regional Road 57 is the location of the Ministry of
Transportation's truck weigh scales on the westbound lanes of Highway
401 between Bennett Road and Regional Road 14 (Liberty Street) . In a
letter to Planning Department Staff (Attachment 0o. 5) ' C.B.M. 'o
REPORT 00. : PD-8-84 P&Q8 6
_______________________________________________________________________________
000aoltnut indicates that the transportation industry is reluctant to
use Highway 35/II5 because of impractical regulations governing
axle-load limits which are enforced at the weigh scales. Trunk
operators therefore, prefer to use Regional roads without weigh scales.
6.1.3 C.B.M. `a oouaoltout' in a discussion with Staff, provided further
elaboration on C.8.M. `o uouoecu with axle-load limits. Under Section
99 of the Highway Traffic Act, trucks are limited to a specific weight
per axle. However, loads apparently shift during travel.
Consequently, the weight on one axle may exceed the specified limit,
although the total weight of the truck may be within the specified
weight limit. The truck operator would therefore be liable for a fine
under the Highway Traffic Act for an axle-load violation.
6.2 Load Restrictions
6.2.1 Section 104 of the Highway Traffic Act empowers a municipality having
jurisdiction over a highway to specify the dates on which a reduced
load period shall start or end, and the highway or portion thereof
under its jurisdiction to which the designation applies. In Durham
Region, the Provincial ministry of Transportation is primarily
responsible for policing those roads subject to weight restrictions.
6.2.2 The Region of Durham is empowered through Regional By-law 99-84 to
restrict commercial motor vehicles or trailers being operated or drawn
upon any Regional rood or portion thereof from February I to May 31 of
any year where the weight upon an axle exceeds 5000 kg. Weight
restrictions on Regional roads for 1988 were in effect from February 29
to April 30, and included that section of Regional Road 20 west of the
road allowance between Lots 32 and 33, Clarke. This is apparently
because of the condition of this portion of the road as discussed in
Section 3.2 of this Report.
REPORT 08. : pD-8-89 PAGE 7
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.2^3 That section of Regional Road 20 to the east was specifically exempted
from the 1988 load restrictions. Therefore, tcooka with a load
exceeding the specified maximum were required to travel eastward to
Highway 35. The Ministry of Transportation, in conjunction with the
Region, sets up a policing program for the restricted portion of
Regional Road 20 through part of the reduced load period. As well, the
Ministry responds to complaints and possible violations reported by
Municipal Works Staff, the Durham Regional Police and the public.
However, Regional Works Staff advise that the restricted section of
Regional Road 20 is policed by Ministry Staff for load violations for,
at the most, only 2 weeks of the restricted period. Specific
information on the number of charges laid for weight violations along
the restricted portion of Regional Road 20 is not available.
6.3.4 Each year, the Town of Newcastle Public Works Department DIaneo a
notice in local newspapers advising of the period of weight
restrictions on Town roads. In 1988, a weight restriction of 5000 kg.
per axle was in effect on all Town roads from March l to April 30.
This weight restriction effectively requires all trucks hauling
aggregates which use Town roads for pact of their journey, to reduce
their loads for the months of March and April. The Ministry of
Transportation does not set up a policing program for Town condo as it
does for Regional Road 20, but rather ceugooda to complaints and reports
of possible violations.
6.3 Hours of operation
Under the Municipal Act, a local municipality may pnoo by-laws to
regulate the operation of pits and quarries within the municipality and
to regulate the hours of operation of businesses. FucLbec' the
Regional official Plan permits a local municipality to enter into a
Development Agreement with an aggregate producer and to register such
agreement against the title of the property. It appears therefore that
the Town could use either a by-law or a development agreement to
regulate the booca that a gravel pit operates.

7. FINANCIAL IMPACTS OF MINERAL AGGREGATE EXTRACTION
7.1 Impact on the Regional Road Network
7.1.1 Damage to roads by high volumes of heavy tcoobo hauling aggregate is
one of the most significant financial impacts associated with mineral
aggregate extraction. A review conducted by the Region in 1986
indicated there are 193.3 hmo. of Regional condo which carry heavy
truck traffic. The Region also documented the extra costs it bears as
the result of heavy truck traffic on its roads. These costs, as
discussed below, are based on 1986 coat estimates and therefore would
be btgbec for 1988.
7.2 Extra Construction Costs
7.2.1 Provincial standards require o road which carries significant truck
traffic (lU% - 25%) to be constructed with each lane 8.25m wider or
with each shoulder 0.5m wider than other roads. The Region calculated
that the approximate cost for the extra width construction is ¢20'000
per kilometre.
7.2.2 Roads carrying heavy truck traffic require o greater than normal depth
of granular base and hot mix at an estimated nnot of ¢94'000. per km.
In addition, truck climbing lanes have to be constructed and gravel
shoulders have to be primed in various locations. The total owot for
constructing roads to this higher standard is $114'000 per kilometre.
7.3 Extra Resurfacing Costs
7.3.1 Heavy truck haul routes require resurfacing approximately every 8 to 10
years as compared to 16 to 20 years for roads which carry normal
traffic. Based on this more frequent resurfacing cycle and an average
resurfacing cost of ¢50,000 per kilometre, the Region calculated that
it bears an extra cost of $483,500 per year which it claims is directly
attributable to gravel truck traffic.

_______________________________________________________________________________
7.4 Upgrading to Full Load Status
7.4.1 As noted earlier in this report, a number of Regional roads, including
the western section of Regional Road 20, are subject to weight
restrictions during the spring months. There are 29.1 kms of Regional
roads that require upgrading to full-load status, at a cost of at least
¢50,000. per kilometre above regular resurfacing costs. The total cost
faced by the Region to upgrade the 29.1 kmo. discussed above is
¢I'455,000. Over a G year oVuatcontioo period, this would result in an
annual cost of ¢290,000 per year.
7.5 Financial Compensation
7.5.1 Currently, the Region does not receive any direct contribution from the
aggregate extraction industry for damage to the Regional road system
caused by gravel trucks. Regional Council has passed several
resolutions requesting the Ministry of Natural Resources to increase
the annual licence fee on aggregate producers being proposed by Bill
170 - The Aggregate Ba000coes &ot" and to increase the Region's share
of revenue generated, in order for the Region to be adequately
compensated for deficiencies in the Regional road network attributable
to the transportation of mineral aggregates.
8. REHABILITATION OF EXCAVATED LAND
8.1 The rehabilitation of land from which aggregate has been extracted
involves the treatment of the land so that its use or condition is
restored to its former state or is changed to another use or condition
that is or will be compatible with adjacent lands.
8.2 Applicants for a pit or quarry licence must submit site plans to the
Ministry of Natural Resources providing detail on the rehabilitation of
the excavated site. Most of the 14 subject pits along Regional Road 28
were licensed in the 1970'o under the Pits and Quarries Control Act.
Their site plans generally propose only basic rehabilitation to an
agricultural/forestry use. The rehabilitation plans for the C.B.M.
site propose a large lake with adjacent residential development
approximately 40m to 50m below the level of Regional Road 20,

9^ STERILIZATION OF IJ\0D
9.1 The sterilization of land is discussed from two perspectives - the
sterilization of the mineral aggregate resource by incompatible land
uses such as housing and, also the sterilization of other lands in the
area for development which may be incompatible with either the
extraction or trucking operations of the aggregate industry.
9.2 The Mineral Aggregate BeooOcoe Policy Statement, which was approved by
the Province on May 9, 1986, notes the importance of mineral aggregates
to Ontario's economy. The ennobaaio of the Policy Statement is the
protection of mineral aggregate resources from incompatible land uses
over or adjacent to deposits which ouoId preclude the extraction of the
resource. Specifically, the Policy Statement requires municipalities
in their official Plans to identify and protect legally existing pits
and quarries from incompatible land uses. It also requires official
Plans to identify and protect areas with high potential for mineral
resource extraction from incompatible uses.
9.3 Section 4 of the Durham Regional official Plan deals exclusively with
mineral aggregate ceonocoeo. one of the stated goals of this section,
in keeping with the emphasis of the Policy Statement, is the
protection of high potential mineral aggregate resources from
incompatible land uses. Map "Ell of the Plan identifies those areas
with a high potential for mineral aggregate extraction.
9.4 The Policy Statement does permit Official Plans to allow non-aggregate
land ooea in areas of mineral aggregate resources, but only where
extraction is not feasible, the proposed land use serves u greater long
term public interest than aggregate extraction, or the proposed laud
use would not significantly preclude or hinder future extraction. The
Regional official Plan (Section 4.2.9) permits non-aggregate
development in high potential aggregate resource areas provided that
REPORT NO, : pD-8-89 PAGE ll
_______________________________________________________________________________
the proposed development will not unnecessarily preclude the option of
mineral aggregate extraction or that the proposed development takes
higher priority than aggregate extraction. Therefore, the effect of
the Policy Statement and the implementing Official Plan policies is
also to sterilize lands with a high potential for ce000coe extraction
and other lands in the area from being developed for uses which may be
incompatible with mineral aggregate ceaoozoe extraction.
9.5 The development of lands not located within or adjacent to existing or
potential resource extraction operations may also be sterilized to a
certain extent by the truck traffic generated by the operation; for
example, lands located along Regional Road 57.
10. CONCLUSION
10.1 This report is presented for information purposes and is intended to
provide Council with background information necessary for making
decisions on current and future development appflicotiouo in the area
of Regional Road 20. Current applications include C.B.M. `a application
for o licensed aggregate extraction operation (File: 88-30/D) , the
proposed Moaport Park development (File: 87-59/D) ' and the proposed
zedaoiguatiou of a rehabilitated pit to permit rural residential lots
(File: 88-106/D) . Staff Reports on each of these applications will be
prepared for Committee's consideration.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee

We wish to bring to your attention the fact that volumes
of truck traffic are reflective of overall levels of
demand within a limited market area, and that traffic
volumes do not simply reflect the number of licensed
pits which service that market .
A factor which has a much greater influence on local
traffic volumes than the number - of competing licensed
pits, is the availability of alternative haul routes .
In this regard, the reasons why Highway #35/115 has not
been successful in diverting truck traffic from Regional
Road 20 are worthy of investigation.
It is our opinion that the widespread reluctance of the
transportation industry to use Highway #35/115 derives
from the impractical regulations governing axle-load
limits which are enforced at the weigh-scales along this
route. As long as this problem remains unresolved, the
transportation... industry will continue to find it
economical to rely on regional roads without
weigh-scales .

We trust that your study of the traffic generated by the
aggregate industry will address this underlying cause of
the traffic problem on Regional Road 20 .
Should you require any further information, please do
not hesitate to contact us . We would like to receive a
copy of the study when it is complete.
