As approved by Motion #056/18 on February 12, 2018 by the Council for the Corporation of the Township of Tiny, the Township recommends to the MOECC that no decision on the Permit to Take Water application be made until the following is completed: • The current condition of nearby domestic wells should be established, including the well depth and condition of the casing/screen, and the well yield and general water quality. The work should be completed by the proponent using an independent qualified consultant. • The monitoring network at the Teedon Pit should be expanded to include a staff gauge in the wash pond, a nested well with screens completed at a variety of depths (to monitor change in gradients during use of the wash pond), along with a number of wells completed in the aquifer(s) that are used by domestic wells in the area. A professional geoscientist (or equivalent) should be present during the drilling of the wells to describe the geology and select the intervals for monitoring well completion. In addition, the Township supports the concerns of the local residents regarding the negative impacts associated with the water taking activities on the domestic potable water supply in the area.
