Report, No: PD-120-82 . . ./2
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
On June 21 , 1982, the Town of Newcastle received a letter
from Mr. J. L. Coombes of Bowmanville, seeking the Town's
consent for an increase in his licensed tonnage limit from
15,000 tonnes annually to 30,000 tonnes annually. The
applicant's pit, indicated as License Number 93 in Schedule
1 to Section 4 of the Durham Regional Official Plan,
occupies 10.4 ha (25.65 acres) and is located in Lot 6,
Concession 4, in the former Township of Darlington. The
subject site is zoned A-Agricultural by Restricted Area
By-law 2111 , of the former Township of Darlington, gravel
pits are a permitted use within that zone.
The Pits and Quarries Control Act (R.S.O. 1980) requires
that the site plan accompanying an application for a
license for more than 15,000 tonnes annually be in long
form. Section 4(3) of the Act, however, permits the site
plan for an application respecting a pit or quarry producing
less than that amount to be in short form. Mr. Coombes'
present license is a short form license approved and issued
pursuant to Section 4(3) . Therefore, in order to increase
his licensed tonnage limit to above 15,000 tonnes, Mr.
Coombes is required to make application and submit new site
plans in long form.
Once the site plans have been prepared and submitted to the
Ministry of Natural Resources by Mr. Coombes, they are j
circulated to the Town of Newcastle for review and comment.
The Town responds directly to the applicant and advises the
Ministry of Natural Resources by copy of the letter. The
i
applicant is then required to submit this letter to the
Ministry.

Report No: PD-120-82 . . ./3
In the event the Town has any objections to the application,
the Ministry of Natural Resources will not approve it until
the Town's concerns have been satisfied and the applicant
can submit to the Ministry a letter from the Town to that
effect.
Section 5 of The Pits and Quarries Control Act permits
written objections to a license application to be submitted.
However, Section 5 does not apply in this case as the
property is currently under a pit license.
Since Mr. Coombes has not yet made formal application to the
Ministry of Natural Resources for an increase in his annual
tonnage limit, the Town has not yet had an opportunity to
review the proper Plans. It is recommended that Mr. Coombes
be advised that the Town will comment on his application
when the proper plans have been circulated by the Ministry
of Natural Resources.
Resp fy submitted,
. T. Edwards, M.C.I.P.
