Extraction, crushing, screening, material recovery. We prepare your ministerial authorization request and follow it through to the ministry's decision.
Operating a quarry or sandpit, along with the related crushing, screening and material recovery activities, is governed by specific environmental requirements: setback distances, noise, dust, water management, protection of wetlands and waterbodies, and site rehabilitation at the end of operations. Preparing a ministerial authorization request means gathering a large amount of technical information and demonstrating, piece by piece, that the project meets these requirements.
Our team supports you in preparing your requests, whether for a new operation, an expansion or an amendment to an existing authorization. You get a file structured to meet the ministry's expectations and a single contact who follows the request throughout its review.
Meeting with the operator to define the nature of the planned activities (extraction, crushing, screening, storage, recovery of concrete, brick or asphalt), volumes and operating period. Determination of the type of request to submit and of the list of documents to gather.
Site visit, verification of distances and site issues, then characterization of natural environments when required. Collection of technical data from the operator and the professionals involved in the project: plans, equipment data sheets, property titles or leases, municipal compliance notices.
Drafting of the project description, preparation of the forms required by the ministry and development of the rehabilitation and restoration plan. Review of the file with the operator before submission, so that every commitment in the request matches the reality of their operations.
Follow-up with the ministry's analyst, preparation of responses to information requests and adjustments to the file when needed. On request, support for the operator in understanding the conditions of their authorization and in later changes to their activities.
Same owners, same team, new name. The expertise you have trusted for years, with a new look.
