I live close by this location. It is within acres of 2 long creeks that feed well water of the community nearby. This is absurd to anyone living here that someone may potentially be tossing human waste to degrade and seep its bacteria into our well water. None of it is treated, there are no treatment plans, the soil allows a lot of movement of water and bacteria as all the surrounding areas as well use tiling in their farm fields. As such even a simple calculation of the most minimal bacteria movement will show that the nearest well waters will be poisoned within 2 years due to the lateral movement in soil.

Please look into the repercussions on the surrounding society and citizens as we have no other way of getting water. Let alone poisoning any ground instead of regular waste treatment should be something that is considered an illegal cost reduction scheme by companies. Why wouldn't that apply to a single person running a waste removal company too.

His stated reasoning for this project is to have more time to make money elsewhere in his company, while reducing his costs and time invested in doing the main part of his company, waste disposal. Cutting corners to make money by screwing over the rest of society and those who live nearby in doing so.

"No hauled sewage shall be spread at the site under conditions where hauled sewage may runoff or discharge from the site" - Fully ignores that the land this is on is soil that allows liquid movement very well, his property is naturally hill like leading runoff towards the creek otherwise. This is a site where there is no natural way to dispose of waste without runoff/discharge/affecting the surrounding community. Especially when he is quoted saying 20k liters will be added weekly and this will overtime seep into the surrounding creeks and well water; not down, not staying, not evaporating.

I among many others are concerned as I've been wary of this even before the CBC article.

As well this is the second attempt he's made at this. The first he removed his submission before any legal removal occurred (as it was received negatively) such as to avoid his inability to try again 2 years later hoping it was more subtle.

"The company would also be required to ensure that "no unnecessary off-site effects, such as vermin, vectors, odour, dust, litter, noise or traffic, result from the operation of this site"" -Of which he hasn't done any of and a simple calculation can show this. Any company should have this simple health testing and calculations done 'WELL' before they submit an official proposal.
