Blue Cove Quarry

Proponent: Department of Transportation and Infrastructure 

Summary of Environmental Assessment Process

Project Description:

The proponent is proposing the expansion of an existing quarry located approximately three kilometers north of Blue Cove, along Route 430 on the Great Northern Peninsula. The project would expand the operations area to approximately 23 hectares. The site is considered important due to the scarcity of suitable aggregate sources in the region. The expansion aims to ensure a stable, long-term supply of materials. Work would be carried out by contractors under Provincial Government oversight, with operations typically occurring between April and November each year.
