NEC argues quarry doesn't meet terms of escarpment plan

TORONTO — A one-day hearing held Thursday could determine the fate of the proposed quarry expansion west of Duntroon. The Niagara Escarpment Commission voted last August to challenge the decision of the Consolidated Hearings Board decision that allowed Walker Aggregates to expand its quarry operation.
