Here is some good news for environmental activists and for some farmers in the Melancthon Township, 120 km north of Toronto. The Highland Companies has withdrawn their application for building  a 2,316 acre limestone mega-quarry in the area. The application was filed back in March 2011. Good news for farmers, but bad for the $26 billion hedge fund, Baupost Group. Seth Klarman has a controlling stake in Highland Companies. The project, had it materialized, would have given Baupost control over the second largest limestone mine in North America, with deposits worth billion of dollars.
