-this proposal is a category…

-this proposal is a category 3 which ‘has the highest potential of causing unacceptable environmental impacts’, reaching below the water table it would take a tremendous volume aka small lake per year
-This can cause great harm and change the ground water action /flow in the area
-the internationally recognized Minesing wetland with many species at risk is nearby and will no doubt be affected by this as will nearby farmlands we need to grow our food
-aggregate operations have been shown to affect groundwater quality and well levels. Contamination of local wells with high levels of silt/sediment in drinking water and causing damage to pipes in the home. Chemicals such as fuel and lubricants may contaminate groundwater. In addition, water used in cleaning aggregate returns to the local watershed contaminated.
-Movement of groundwater is complex
-as Climate Change worsens groundwater will become more and more critical for safe clean drinking water. We need to protect this precious source.
This is not sustainable and is putting groundwater and the environment at risk.
-please do not approve this proposal
