BIODIVERSITY

There are three phases in a quarry’s life:

  • Phase 1 – The quarry produces stone. 
  • Phase 2 - The quarry is often used to decant water in a closed loop. 
  • Phase 3 - Once the industrial activity is over, the quarry becomes a prime refuge for fish, amphibians, birds, dragonflies and damselflies that gradually colonize the pit.

Carmeuse evaluates, incorporates and manages restoration plans and biodiversity development programs. We are utilizing or remediating the land consumed by our production facilities in order to contribute to the preservation of natural upland or wetland ecosystems for the benefit of plants and wildlife that thrive there.
