Public Updates

Township of Puslinch reviewed the 2025 water quality and ecological monitoring report for McMillan Pit Licence No. 5737. The report said extraction ceased in 2004 and the 2025 benthic macroinvertebrate work still showed a water quality index above the WQI trigger of 14. Council asked the pit operator and Ministry of Natural Resources to expand future monitoring to include the site's current fishery use and related impacts, so the practical next step is an expanded monitoring scope rather than a new award.
