PROPONENT: Turf Point Resources Ltd.

Summary of Environmental Assessment Process

Project Description:

The proponent proposes to develop and operate a six-hectare gravel and aggregate quarry approximately four kilometres southeast of the community of Flat Bay. The quarry would be located within an area previously operated as a gypsum mine site and would produce gravel and backfill materials for the construction industry. Backfill materials would also be used to maintain the proponent’s private haul road which extends to their ship loading facility in St George’s. Site development would include vegetation clearing, grubbing and stripping, and operations would include crushing, screening and stockpiling. The quarry is proposed to operate seasonally, between April and November.
