About CAMQ:
CAMQ is a group of Tyendinaga Township residents who are concerned about a proposal to develop a new quarry beside the existing Long’s Quarry at the corner of Melrose and Shannonville Roads, Township of Tyendinaga, Hastings County. The group formed in 2013 over concerns that the dewatering needed for the proposed Melrose Quarry would extend the impacts of current quarrying activities on the area’s groundwater supply. Area residents and farms have no access to municipal water supplies.
