Road Hauling

Bulk Hauling

    NEW POLICY!  The Council created a Road Hauling Policy at the December 2020 Council Meeting wherein a Road Maintenance Agreement (RMA) is required to authorize specific hauling activity as well as requires the payment of the provincial hauling fees listed below. 

The policy contains the following exemptions:

  1. Hauls of less than 10 tonnes do not need an RMA and do not need to pay hauling fees.
  2. Hauls of agricultural commodities do not need an RMA and do not need to pay hauling fees.
  3. Single or one-time hauls of non-agricultural commodities do not require an RMA but must pay hauling fees.

Definitions

Non-agricultural commodities shall mean materials or commodities such as but not limited to gravel, timber and dwellings.

10 tonnes shall be approximately considered equivalent to 13 yards of crushed gravel.
