英文摘要
This project will address the limitations to plant restoration and biodiversity in Northeastern Ontario aggregate sites. The Collège Boréal-Laurentian University research team will explore novel soil amendments and planting strategies to facilitate restoration of biodiversity and key ecosystem functions like nutrient cycling, carbon storage, resilience to disturbance, and protection of ground and surface waters. Numerous "legacy" pit and quarry sites exist from prior to the 1990 Aggregate Resources Act, which now universally requires progressive rehabilitation for all permitted sites. Some of these legacy sites, identified by the project partner, The Ontario Aggregate Resource Corporation (TOARC herein), will be used in the study; however, a key goal is to also contribute protocols that can be commercially applied further in the aggregate- production and other mineral mining sectors that manage waste rock as part of their operations towards progressive and final closure and site restoration. Thus, the research team and TOARC will work collaboratively with landowners with surface rights to legacy sites who are interested in low-cost rehabilitation as well as metal mining companies (who also deal with waste rock reclamation challenges) and larger aggregate-production companies with sites representing multiple stages of contemporary rehabilitation. The market-reach potential of the project is large, spanning from landowners and TOARC interested in legacy site rehabilitation to improve environmental impacts to potentially all contemporary aggregate producers in our region and in other regions with similar surficial geology and climate nationally and globally. Protocols developed will focus on low-cost solutions that improve the long-term rehabilitation trajectories and a broad range of ecosystem services, making the aggregate-production and mining sectors more financially competitive and earning them stronger environmental and social license to operate. In collaboration with industry partners, the academic research team, will generate new knowledge and expertise in the areas of land reclamation, restoration and biodiversity that will assist aggregate-producers and mining companies, achieve their rehabilitation and closure plan targets.#(cr)#(lf)Ce projet abordera les contraintes de restauration de plantes et biodiversité de sites d'extraction d'agrégats dans le nord-est de l'Ontario. L'équipe de recherche Collège Boréal-Université Laurentienne explorera de nouveaux amendements de sol et des stratégies de plantation pour faciliter la restauration de la biodiversité et des fonctions écosystémiques clés telles que le cycle des nutriments, stockage du carbone, résilience aux perturbations et protection des eaux souterraines et de surface. De nombreux puits d'extraction « hérités » et sites de carrière existent depuis avant la loi de 1990 sur les ressources en agrégats, qui exigent désormais la réhabilitation progressive de tous les sites d'extraction d'agrégats autorisés. Certains de ces anciens sites, identifiés par le partenaire du projet, The Ontario Aggregate Resources Corporation (TOARC ci-après) seront utilisés pour l'étude; cependant, un objectif clé du projet est de développer des protocoles qui pourront être appliqués commercialement dans la production d'agrégats et le secteur de l'exploitation minière lors de la fermeture progressive et définitive et la restauration de sites d'extraction. Ainsi, l'équipe de recherche et TOARC collaborera avec des propriétaires fonciers ayant des droits de surface sur d'anciens sites d'extraction d'agrégats et qui sont intéressée à les réhabiliter, ainsi qu'avec des sociétés minières et de grandes sociétés de production d'agrégats avec des sites représentant différentes étapes de réhabilitation contemporaine. Le projet a une grande portée commerciale, allant de propriétaires fonciers aux compagnies comme TOARC, qui sont intéressés par la réhabilitation d'anciens sites d'extraction pour potent
