Aggregate Mining & Haul Routes

All aggregate mining and transportation activities are regulated in the RM of Hanover by way of provincial legislation.

A part of this legislation allows for the assessment of a mining fee for all aggregate excavated from a property in the municipality. A transport fee is applied for the hauling of any aggregate on municipal roads established as Haul Routes.

The aggregate mining levy is charged in lieu of improvement taxes on the property. The Province of Manitoba changed its legislation in the mid 1980's to allow municipalities to levy fees in lieu of personal property taxes on aggregate pits and equipment.

To help protect municipal infrastructure and ensure compliance with regulations, Community Safety Officers periodically monitor aggregate hauling activities. This may include stopping trucks to verify load limits and confirm that vehicles are using designated haul routes.

Any questions or concerns regarding haul routes should be directed to the Community Safety Officers:

Officer Trevor 204-326-8656 or Officer Tim 204-905-9380

To report any other traffic violations, please contact your local RCMP detachment.
