The operation on site is expected to provide 6-10 jobs, including the work of the blasting contractor. This is for quarry operations only, the subject of the EIA. Trucking will be required and is expected to create 6-10 additional new positions on top of those at the proposed quarry. These numbers do not include any hiring done on behalf of third-party contractors during the construction phase of the project. This operation is required to sustain the 105 direct jobs at the Atlantic Wallboard site in Saint John, NB.
A few weeks back there was a press release saying the project would provide 12 - 15 full time jobs, the EIA is says 5 to 10 plus explosive contractor and trucking contractor jobs. Can you be more specific? Would the maximum still be 15 jobs with blasting contractors and truckers?
