Abstract
This research project examined environmental impacts of aggregate resource extraction and best practices for aggregate resource extraction in Haliburton County. Aggregate resources in Ontario are managed through a number of policies and acts in order to influence protection, development, and rehabilitation of aggregate resources. This report focuses on mitigative measures for potential impacts related to land, water, air quality, and wildlife, as well as social impacts. Recommendation for follow up and further research specific to Haliburton County are also included.
