As a lifetime resident of this area it is a concern to my family and I that removing this huge amount of water and then polluting and allowing it to flow into nearby waterways may not be in the best interest of future generations, or sustainably of this very essential resource.

Just looking over this permit.
Basically Sargent Company Limited wants to pump drinkable water from a deep well in the forest at line 7 and Bass Lake Side Road for the purpose of washing rocks and gravel from their aggregate operation.

Sergeant Company Limited's excessive extraction of water from a well in Oro-Medonte for industrial aggregate washing is a deeply concerning practice with far-reaching negative consequences.

This seems like a pretty aggressive strain on our local water table, with questionable affects from potential runoff in an ecologically sensitive area. I sincerely hope this permit is not granted.
Personal comment re: ERO 019-7446
I am very concerned that the huge amount of water being requested is not necessary for aggregate washing considering: 1. that the water being taken is of the highest quality drinking water known of the area ; and 2. other options are available.

I do not support this proposal by Sarjeant aggregate cement company to take more water from the Oro moraine watershed system. The company should invest in water recycling technology to use the water they already take and use.

Water is a precious resource. Contamination and disturbance of groundwater sources can be complex and costly. Protecting our groundwater must be a top priority in Ontario.

Given the public concerns raised over thus application with regard to the potential long term harm to the Oro moraine , it would appear prudent to delay the decision until a proper accessment of the aquifer has been done.
Good morning I am opposed to the oro-medonte / Sargent quarry water taking.
as a long time permanent resident 25+ years the quality of the water from deep wells is declining .

Please do not destroy our clean water to wash aggregate. The waste water from your cleaning process will still leave water contaminated with silt particles which will give us muddy water. We need a sustainable source of drinking water
We are writing to you with our concern for the preservation and health of the Oro Moraine, the source of much of the water in Oro-Medonte including our own well.

Is there not a way to recycle the water already being used. This is a lot of water coming out of the water table for washing stone.
Must be a better way to use the water over and over.
