I'm not sure what jurisdiction that would hold, in terms of who is responsible. I won't go there and I'll let that be for now, but I would assume that any activity on the water would be the responsibility of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, meaning the federal government, bottom line.
I'm trying to get to a solution or a recommendation for you on what steps to take so that you can get some resolution to this. What that may be is, one, to get the municipality involved with an argument to the federal government that in fact this activity is not conducive with the adjacent land, simply because the adjacent land is not industrial, and that therefore the use should be moved to an area that is conducive to what's on the land vis-à-vis being industrial in nature and therefore aligns with the area. Yes, it's still going to have noise. Yes, it's still going to have gypsum and nighttime activity; however, because the land is zoned for that kind of activity and the expectation is to have that type of activity in that zoning, then it would be more appropriate to have that happen there, versus where you're at.
I'm just trying to give you some recommendations on what direction to take, versus leaving here and getting no satisfaction. That might be something you want to consider. The municipality goes to bat with respect to the zoning of the land, meaning no activity on the water, which makes it not conducive and moves it down the way where it's more conducive and it aligns with the zoning of those particular jurisdictions.
