I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed installation of a pond and three settling basins at your gravel pit site for aggregate wash water management. My concerns center around the potential environmental impact, water quality risks, and the long-term consequences for our local community.

The construction of a pond and settling basins raises alarms regarding the management of aggregate wash water. Improper handling of this water poses a serious threat to our ecosystem, and the potential for sediment runoff into nearby water sources could have detrimental effects on both surface and groundwater quality.

Moreover, the introduction of these structures may disrupt the delicate balance of our local environment, affecting wildlife habitats and potentially leading to irreversible damage to the natural ecosystem. As a member of this community, I urge your company to consider alternative and more environmentally sustainable solutions that prioritize the preservation of our surroundings.

In conclusion, I strongly oppose the installation of a pond and three settling basins for aggregate wash water at your gravel pit site. I urge your company to explore alternative methods that prioritize environmental conservation and community well-being. Transparent and open dialogue with the community will be crucial in addressing our shared concerns.
