Has there been a engineering report completed for the water table depletion within the area, what is the overall impacted area of the water depletion caused by this category 3 water taking well. This will likely affect the surrounding water levels for the neighboring community.

Unpolluted and uncontaminated water, next to unpolluted air, is the most valuable resource for both people and creatures in Canada. But I’m sure that you are well aware of this fact.

This is criminal. Are we going to wait til there is no water for essential use like people’s lives. Stop this immediately and do a lot more research on the moraine.
I live in the proposed area. We’ve been having well problems for a few years. End result is we have to dig a new well. Our deep drilled well was pulling water full of fine silt. In the last 20 years many of the residents around me have had the same problem and have had to put new wells in.

I don't think the province should approve this permit unless there is a way to clean the water so it is returned to the moraine so that it doesn't effect fish and wildlife. Have them build there own pond for their concrete business. Water is to precious a resource to waste on this.

I believe it will be harmful to have this allowed. As many who are in the local area are on well water. With the potential of dirty water making it back into are systems and the dirty water to be making it out to fresh lakes and river we use everyday should be considered.
I am a resident of Hawkstone on Line 10 N and I disapprove of the proposal. I am concerned that once the water is used it will be discharged back into the watershed with harmful particulate matter that will damage local ecosystems.

As long time residents of oro medonte we are opposed to this permit. We are concerned for the wildlife, fish and having clean water for the residents of oro medonte. Our water comes from the two community wells in shanty bay.

Seems like the logical idea is for Sargeant to have a tailings pond for the sentiment to settle out of ,and then reuse the same water over and over again !
That way everyone is happy , dosent effect the Moraine and Sargeant has the water they need to wash rock.

I strongly disagree with this proposal.
It has far reaching negative environmental effects.
The consequences are far worse than the anticipated benefits
Using pure fresh water to rinse off aggregate and then re relasing it back to nature is criminal. There’s got to be a better way. Searjant can use existing grey water from their operations to rinse off aggregate.

Is there not any process to filter the water returned back to the environment
Large companies like Kimberly Clark have been using water for years now from big east river system in Huntsville and monitored insure with tight regulations
If the company is allowed to proceed and use such an exhorbitant amount of our precious water then we don't understand why the company should not be obligated to build a water treatment plant in order to rehabilitate the water to a potable level.
As a resident of Oro Medonte in strongly apposed to this application. Our community on Lakeshore relies on the Oro Moraine for drinking water and feel that this will jeopardize the long term sustainability. Many of my neighbours whom which I have shared this application with feel the same.
Please have the Ontario government review this thoroughly. I don’t believe we need yet another damaged ecosystem at this time. Multiple environmental scientists should be reviewing this proposal.
This is deeply disturbing. We are already facing mass wetland losses due to development, we need to protect the last of our waters for the wildlife that depend on it.

ALL permits to take water for these mining/aggregate companies should be for a "one time" offer only. They should be made to use the same water over and over. They must make certain that this "wash" water is "contained".
