Concerned local residents welcomed the chance to voice opinions on a plan few residents knew about until recently
Residents living around the Bamberton lands owned by the Malahat First Nation have been given a month to make their case against the expansion of a rock quarry on the site.
“No one had a clue it was happening,” she said. “They haven’t made much effort to actually inform the public.” While the report suggests future use in the short-term would only involve repairing four aging pilings, it could also include loading and unloading barges of contaminated soils, creosote piles, cement powder, scrap metal, aggregate and fuels.
“Our first goal is to make the public aware,” she said, noting she was told by Mines Ministry staff that there had been virtually no opposition to the quarry application until residents caught wind of the proposals.The ministry acknowledged it had received several letters from the public regarding the application, and said staff are considering the feedback as part of the application.
