Hello, I am gravely…

Hello,

I am gravely concerned about the proposals for Miller Paving site. The site as operated today is already violating the permitted uses under the ARA and ORMCP/A, 2017 by having installed an illegal contractor’s yard, bringing fill to the site and operating an Asphalt plant for which crushed concrete is trucked in.

The new site plan for Boyington #3 includes drawings of surface water infiltration basins to allow the very potentially polluted run-off to rapidly infiltrate the ground water aquifer. This is specifically forbidden under the ORMCP/A under section 45, 8, page 69:

“Despite anything else in this Plan, new stormwater management ponds are prohibited with respect to land in key natural heritage features and key hydrologic features.”

“stormwater management pond” means a detention basin that temporarily stores or treats collected stormwater runoff and releases it at a controlled rate.

It is irresponsible to even consider allowing Miller to retroactively “legalizing” their activities, especially on a highly vulnerable aquifer feeding the Uxbridge Brook and the Town of Uxbridge’s potable water supply with further run-offs into the Lake Simcoe Basin.

This application has to be rejected by the body that is entrusted with the oversight of the ORMCP/A and fulfill its obligations to a healthy current and future community of Ontario.

Thank you for the consideration.
