As a lifetime Ontario resident, I am tired of seeing corporate interests avoid/ignore/diminish the
best interests of the Canadian public in many areas--particularly the egregious consumption of
water for resale or industrial purposes.

If this is permitted there is little hope for future existence. Water is Life and to destroy the
pristine Water, the purest water in the world for the purpose of washing gravel is just plain
wrong. Look at what has happened in South Africa recently.

The complaints have been many and often but response has been choreographed so to find nothing
wrong . Example - When complaints are made about noise and vibrations coming from the Pit , with in
hour everything goes silent then hours after that or next day only to say I don't hear anything .

As a university student, as a Canadian citizen and as someone who is trying to be an ally to
Indigenous peoples to help Canada move forward from colonialism and environmental racism, this
proposal concerns me deeply.

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

The sheer amount of freshwater taking in this proposal is quite concerning. As a member of the
Anishinabek Nation, it is our traditional responsibility and vocation to speak up for those that
cannot speak for themselves. That includes the Earth, water, and all those that need water for
life.

As a local citizen I am concerned about my water quality. When “not if” the water is tainted will
they install treatment systems for each and every household affected. “I doubt it” there is no
profit in courtesy.

I write with great concern regarding Well PW1-09 and the application for use for industrial
aggregate washing purposes.
I am very concerned at the massive volume of water -- up to 5,237,280 litres per day from the pond,
and up to 1,635,840 litres per day from the well.

I am very concerned about this disregard for the fact this area has proven to have the cleanest
water in the world and our government is considering approving this permit.

Do not accept this water permit. This water is needed by the local township and if sold to
corporate interests this permit will jeopardize the sustainability of the towns water supply.

This is just not what water should be used for. The local groundwater here is so clean and sacred
and i go to the spring in elmvale all the time to collect my drinking water. With these kinds of
things, it is not a matter of will it end up getting polluted, but when will it get polluted.

I am completely opposed to the taking of water from the Alliston Aquifer for the purposes of
washing gravel for commercial purposes. Water of this purity and rarity is too valuable to waste in
this way and for the exclusive benefit of a corporate entity.

Please do not renew the Permit To Take Water No. 5003-APFH26 for aggregate washing purposes that
has been requested by CRH Canada. The history of this company has dem. This is the same aquifer as
Site 41 and many communities depend upon this aquifer for drinking water.

I am completely opposed to the proposed expansion of Dufferin Aggregates to draw and use water from
French's Hill site for the washing of rock. The use of our precious aquifer water in the massive
quantity proposed is not only wrong, it is stupid. Aquifers are a LIMITED resource, and precious.

Please, NO pumping of the world's purest water to wash gravel! We are fighting hard to protect this
land from unsustainable practices.

in spite of the dump site 41 protest, the Mega quarry protest and the Grennbelt expansion project. the government has once again threatened our water supply by approving this permit . I WANT YOU TO RESCIND THIS PERMIT.
