Protecting the Niagara Escarpment from Quarry Proposal
Fall Grant Award: $3,500
Project Summary:
A Karst Study will provide information about the characteristics and extent of the karst hydrogeological systems within the Mt. Nemo plateau by mapping the discharge areas, in conjunction with groundwater tracing. This information will help determine the potential potential impacts of karst on sub-surface water flows to fish-bearing creeks, wetlands and community wells. The Blasting Study will measure the noise levels, bedrock vibration and atmospheric percussion impacts on the local environment and identify the potential for damage to sub-surface water flows and human dwellings.
