Mapping depicts Brampton Plan High Potential Mineral Aggregate Resource Area (HPMARA) in Schedule 9 identifies primary and secondary sand and gravel resources, as well as bedrock resources that are not constrained by Provincial, Region of Peel or City of Brampton policies and are to be protected for long-term use. Further constraints to extraction within and outside of HPMARA are subject to the Region of Peel Official Plan, Secondary Plan Area 52 – Heritage Heights (upon approval), and Corridor Protection Policies of this Plan and Greenbelt Plan. This data is intended to be used in conjuction with other related mapping layers for this schedule, and may be impacted by other schedules, with consideration to the text of Brampton Plan.

This spatial dataset represents areas where resources may be extracted within the limits of the aggregate licence or permit for the associated site. Reporting requirements are optional, which means records will be sporadic and limited to certain areas of the province. Additional details related to aggregates in Ontario are available in related data classes as well as online using the interactive Pits and Quarries map.
