“I think a peer review would really provide us with what we need,” said Moore. “Clearly their dust consultant would, if it’s done properly, determine there is a dust problem there, which we all know there is.”Ĭoun. Anita Moore agreed that the township didn’t need a third-party consultant to do the air quality/dust study, but would like to hire a consultant to do a peer review. “Let them make the investment,” he argued. Thompson suggested the township save the money and rely on the tests done by the pit owners. “I understand the pit itself has already hired a dust consultant and they said they were going to share the results with us. “I don’t think we need to hire a consultant to determine there’s a dust problem at this pit,” said Coun. Brad Thompson. Paying to confirm it is quite another.Įstimates for dust monitoring at the proposed expansion site of the Lewis Pit, located at 2791 George Johnston Rd., in Springwater Township's Snow Valley area, start at $25,000 and could climb as high as $85,000 or more.

Knowing there’s a dust problem with an aggregate pit is one thing.
