Abstract
Land use issues are an integral component in the determination of
aggregate resource potential in an urban setting. A variety of legislative
regulations, zoning restrictions and land use designations, imposed by
all levels of government, affect where and how aggregate quarries can
operate. The best aggregate deposit in the region may be impossible to
develop if a conflicting land use overlies or occurs in proximity to the site.
This map is a compilation of land use constraints that may have an
impact on aggregate resource development in the Metro area. It accompanies
the Economic Geology Series ME 2001-1, Overview of Bedrock Aggregate
Potential in the Halifax-Dartmouth Metropolitan Area, Nova Scotia, by G. Prime.
The purpose of this map is to help narrow the search when looking for a quarry
site.
