Dear Mr Webster In regards…

Dear Mr Webster In regards to EBR 010-1436 COMMENTS, I am opposed to this proposed regulation. I live on a beautiful 30 acre property that has the dubious 'honour' of being next door to a massive dump of "sound-sorb" as gun club berming. We have had to endure the stench from this pile of industrial waste mixed with sewage and compost. Because we are on a rural road, our piles of crap have not been moved, and the material continues to contaminate a wetland and creek that run into the Moira River. My property values have been compromised as a result of illegal dumping several years ago. Your ministry has shown itself to be uninterested in the health of the watersheds of Ontario - the January 2005 "Report of the Experts Panel on Sound-Sorb" gave clear instructions and directions on how the ministry needs to proceed with Certificates of Approval for each step in the handling of these industrial waste products before they can be applied to our lands. TO date, your ministry has not followed these recommendations. The small municipalities such as my own require a firm support from the ministry to help them protect their lands and watersheds. You have no right to permit the ongoing contamination of my childrens' heritage lands. I urge the ministry to comply with the expert panel recommendations and to provide strong, firm, and pro-active legislation that will guarantee tour grandchildren have land and water that is safe and healthy.
