The Oxford Coalition for Social Justice adds these comments to prior ones. Our organization advocates for planning that takes both land and watersheds into account and which results in environmental and human health. .

The cumulative environmental impact of multiple fill or dumping sites, especially in ecologically sensitive and significant areas like Caledon — near a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and at the headwaters of the Credit River — is deeply alarming.

Unsafe soil is not compatible with the protective nature of the greenbelt plans. Municipal and provincial regulation and enforcement may develop in the future to better control these soil dumps, but sampling and testing cannot guarantee that all the dumped soil is completely safe.

As a long-time resident of Caledon — and as someone who has worked in the real estate field across both the private and public sectors for over 25 years — I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposal to fill Swan Lake with construction debris, without proper environmental testing, mo

This is truly disgusting. We should be keeping our wild life and nature as we have it. There is enough sprawl, we need to save our lakes and rivers and animals. No one wants this. The amount of land being destroyed to just build more and more houses.....that no one can afford, is insanity.

I have concerns about Aecon filling in 571 hectares, part of which is below water pit and an existing pond.
What evidence is there to prove this action will not cause disruption to private wells in the area, as well as green lake and the credit river.

I read with concern the proposal under ERO#025-0663, where an aggregate company is proposing to import millions of cubic metres of excess soil to fill in a pit.

I urge you to deny and revoke this proposal. It will undoubtedly harm the local community and environment. Filling a lake poses serious risks to the communities groundwater and will simultaneously destroy all aquatic wildlife.
My concern is that the fill that will be imported is not consistent with the pre-existing fill that was removed. This results in some form of pollution taking place.
I only recently became aware of this application and do not have time to research my response in depth but... approximately 10 years ago, Carmeuse in Beachville Ontario applied for a change to their site plan which has bearing on this application.

Democracy Caledon endorses the ERO submission being made by Gravel Watch Ontario (GWO). The GWO submission recommends that the MNRF consider the points made in five categories and require that 2004295 Ontario Inc.

The lake--aftermath of the gravel extraction--should be rehabilitated rather than stuffed full of excavated dirt from construction sites. The dirt itself is not monitored for ideal quality, and almost certainly will affect the water table and nearby wells of Caledon Village.

This proposal is an egregious act of negligence to both the environment and the surrounding lands. The idea of filling in a lake that is home to many species including trumpeter swans, and which was originally an aggregate facility which has been rehabilitated is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!!

I am writing to you about Aecons request to import up to 11 million metres of fill in order to fill 571 hectares below water pit, including into “Pond”/ lake that borders Green Lake in Caledon.

This is not a good idea, there must be other places to pile dirt,( ie Edenvale)that do not include Morraine, Niagara Escarpment,Ponds,Lakes and The Credit River.
My sincere advice is to not allow this please do better for all of us.
Thank you for hearing my voice
