Dear sir, Closer to us, most of the residents along the river side of Bay Road take their water directly from the Ottawa River and have their own water treatment system for their drinking water. Are heavy metals and other toxic substances filtered by residential systems? Will the MOECC conduct ongoing monitoring on the quality of the water and if yes at which frequency and which indicators will be used? The Charlebois drain is an open creek that runs through agricultural lands and between residences on both side of Bay Road. Familias live there and some have children who play near this creek or in the water, in the vicinity of the drain discharge into the river. Also, because of the recreational nature of the L'Orignal Bay, many citizens would get in contact with this contaminated water almost everyday of the summer. The Ottawa River has been an important waterway in the history and lite of people of Canada, Ontario and Québec. It has obtained a heritage designation this summer. Any pollution of this river is of faderai jurisdiction, according to the Canadian Constitution Act. This is a very serious matter, please consider ...very very seriously... We are so close to this cement plant, the noise of all these trucks passing by us, all that dust that will come from that.. this cement plant will destroy our fertile lands , our health , our water......With all these toxic substances , our underground water and to our Ottawa river will be contaminated... You need to know that this will affect very seriously all the people all around ....and my family , grandchildren, will won' t be able to relax outside anymore, with all,the dust and the trucks, our garden... I am asking you to really consider .. , If this plant still comes in our town , I invite you to stay a week in our home , and only then you will realized how wrong you were to approve of this cement plant....and for us it will be to late... This cement plant should be where there are no people or growth around . Thank you for taking the time to read my plead..
