Question 8448 — mines and quarries

Summary

Mr. Benjamin Lucas-Lundy draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion to the possible mining of zone 109 in Vexin-Yvelinois in the municipalities of Brueil-en-Vexin, Fontenay-Saint-Père, Guitrancourt and Sailly. This exploitation would have significant consequences on the life of the municipalities mentioned but also on the municipalities of Juziers and Gargenville. By a decree of June 5 2000, published in the Official Journal of the French Republic of June 7, 2000, this area of ​​551 hectares is considered as a cement limestone zone under article 109 of the mining code in order to ensure the cement manufacturer Calcia the possibility of extending its activities in the territory. As soon as the project was announced, many local elected officials and associations opposed the project to build the Calcia quarry within a park. regional natural environment (PNR). Elected officials of all political affinities have expressed clear and continued opposition to the project. The possibility of building a quarry in this area would endanger the quality of life of the inhabitants by causing numerous nuisances: pollution of water, soil, air, incessant noise, heavy road traffic in particular. It goes against the ecological imperatives of the time, the need to protect biodiversity and the richness of landscapes and regions. Furthermore, the cement manufacturer Calcia announced in the spring of 2022 that it did not want to continue the project and the Prefect of Yvelines issued an order on September 12, 2022 to end the authorization. It is therefore up to the State to take its responsibilities and put an end to the possibility of operating cement quarries in Vexin in the municipalities targeted by the decree of June 5, 2000. Also, he asks if the Government will repeal the decree of June 5, 2000 allowing the exploitation of a quarry in the French Vexin in order to prevent any future exploitation of this quarry.
