We object to any further…

We object to any further extention of the water taking permit for the following reasons 1) Well interference (Slit) which is explained as poor well construction. Five area residents filed complaints to the proponent and the MOECC all the wells are of different construction all experience interference at the same time. When their is no activity at the gravel extraction site the. Residents wells run clear and Slit free. 2) The well in question is registered as a domestic well with a six inch casing when in fact the casing is actually eight inches and should be registered as a commercial or Industrial well.This was explained by the MOECC representive as a mistake by the well driller. The well driller in question has 30 years experience and knows the differance from a six inch casing to an eight inch casing. 3) There are other residential wells in the area that are experiencing interference when brought to the attention of the local MOECC Representive there is no investigation or follow up. 4) The land in question falls under First Nations Treaties. 5) This is the recharge area for the Aliston Aquifer the purest water on the planet and should be protected for future generations There is a lot of issues surrounding this aggregate operation and some questionable anomalies in regards to licenses and how they were required. This is a rural residential area and has over twenty homes which have and will continue to have adverse effects and negative impacts from this aggregate operation. We look forward to a positive response Regards Peter Anderson Spoke Person for the Friends of the Waverly Uplands [Original Comment ID: 212280]
