Quarry Rehabilitation on Private and Municipal Land Program

Manitoba Environment and Climate Change is pleased to announce the continued delivery of the Quarry Rehabilitation on Private and Municipal Land Program (QRPMLP) for the upcoming construction season.

The program supports the rehabilitation of depleted pits and quarries on private and municipal land to improve public safety, reduce environmental risks, and promote stable, compatible post‑rehabilitation land uses.

Program Focus

Funding is available for rehabilitation activities that:

  • Address public safety hazards such as steep or unstable quarry faces, oversized boulders, and unsafe stockpiles;
  • Improve environmental stability;
  • Support productive reuse of former aggregate sites where compatible with adjoining land uses (e.g., agriculture or open space).

Who Can Apply

Eligible applicants include private and municipal landowners with depleted pits or quarries in Manitoba, must have had a registration certificate or private quarry permit issued since 1992.

Eligible Works

Funding may be provided for activities such as:

  • Slope stabilization and surface grading;
  • Redistribution of overburden, oversized boulders, unsafe stockpiles and topsoil (material must be on site)

All proposed works must meet program rehabilitation standards and demonstrate value for money.

Funding Decisions

Applications are assessed using a risk‑based and ranking review process, considering:

  • Public safety
  • Environmental impacts on adjoining lands
  • Depletion of aggregate
  • Alignment with program objectives and standards
