I am very concerned that the effect of these amendments will favour more development of quarries, making it easier for them to be developed when it will have detrimental effects on the environment. There is a lack of details provided that will allow citizens and municipalities to understand and comment on proposed amendments, for example, the statement 'within the water table' (does this refer to above or below the water table).

Before we can productively comment, we need more detailed information. I'm very concerned that the effects of these proposals could mean damage to our environment. We are already in an environmental crisis, so we need to do everything possible to help the environment, rather than add increased strain.

Please prepare and post more details so that people can understand fully your intentions, and open up the comment period again, once that has been done.
