Declarations and forms

Operations

Since January 1, 2009, the Quebec government has required municipalities to charge duties to operate quarries and sand pits. The money collected is used to establish a fund and is redistributed to municipalities for the maintenance of roads used or likely to be used by trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles transporting excavated materials off site.
