Gravel Pit Fails To Get Support

There's still no support for Klayton Mertion's bid for a gravel pit in the BX area of Greater Vernon. He asked again for the regional district board to forward his request for a non farm use on Brentwood Road to the agricultural land commission. RDNO vice chair Rick Fairbairn says it was a specific request. "He wanted the removal of about 52,000 cubic metres of gravel on his property," says Fairbairn. For a second time, he was denied. In the meantime the board has given first reading to two bylaws that would govern mineral extraction and soil removal within the region.
