GE Clay Taylor, requesting Council's position with respect to noise control on unregulated gravel pits. Mr. Taylor states that there is a noise problem that is developing with the aggregate pit known as Kovac's Sand & Gravel due to early morning operations. Noise associated with gravel trucks has become very intense during the last several years on Durham Regional Road 20.
