Dear Permissions…

Dear Permissions Modernization Team,

Please see attached the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte’s letter of comment for consideration on the MECP proposal “Streamlining environmental permissions for stormwater management under the Environmental Activity and Sector Registry”, ERO number 019-6928.

Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte appreciate the opportunity to comment on the above referenced proposal that will affect projects being carried out in Ontario, including the lands surrounding the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. We would like to note that the above-mentioned proposal has the potential to cause serious adverse impacts on the environment and human health. Given our concerns for our community, the potential impact to our traditional and treaty rights, and the overall environmental and human health safety risks, the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte are asking that the proposal does not proceed.

In the spirit of cooperation,

Megan Murphy
Environmental Services Supervisor
Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte
