Stop of the pumping of our fresh water to wash gravel!!!!!

[Original Comment ID: 213280]

Please do not let this aggregates company wash gravel with some of the freshest water in the world air water and sustenance are as important as our Blood for life I don't know how it could even be considered to use some of the undisputed Worlds freshest water to wash someone's gravel : A concerne

The water of the Alliston Aquifer should not be used for gravel washing. This is treaty land and the Anishinaabe Kwegwag should be allowed to continue to protect this water. Canada is extremely lucky to have such consistent access to clean drinking water. It should not be wasted.

I am writing to ask the Government of Ontario to deny the renewal of the Permit To Take Water No. 5003-APFH26 . The Teedon gravel pit is located in the heart of the Waverly Uplands.

I am a rural property owner close to the vicinity of the subject aggregate quarry. I do not approve of the taking and washing of gravel at the Teedon Pit, Waverley with some of the highest quality water in the world.

Ontario is blessed with a good supply of water but expanding the Teedon Pit means cutting down the trees, stripping away the soil and scooping out the gravel and stone that make up the “filter” that keeps the groundwater so pure is not acceptable in our present deteriorating climate change.

Please deny this permit frin Dufferin Aggregate to take water from this precious aquifer, so that they can wash gravel. This is GOLD standard water. The Earth is not creating more aquifers. To allow this permit to go through, should be considered criminal.

Today March 27 2018 well drilling equipment was transported into the Teedon pit. This is an act of outrageous hubris on the part of the applicant to take water to wash gravel.... the decision to grant approval has not been granted, and should not be granted.

How can government decide that the purest water in the world should be used to wash gravel? This is a travesty!

How can Dufferin Aggregate bring in drilling trucks and piping when this permit isn't even approved yet?! Is this process official or just a way to placate the public who are not interested in having their water source tampered with for the sake of washing rocks?

Please do not renew this permit. Many things are more important than money and drinking water could very well be the most valuable Future resource. The thinking behind this permit is antiquated and flawed. We must protect our environment and our future.

Global warming is a FACT and there is a World Water Crisis,why is it that large companies can get water taking permit to take excessive amounts of water to wash dirt.This has been identified as a national heritage water source and should receive protection for future generations.

The Ministry should be working to protect the world’s purest water...instead they’re selling it off in unsustainable amounts. Backward thinking and behind the times.

Part 1: I am writing to object to the renewal of the PTTW for CRH Canada Group Inc. at the locati is stated as non-transferable and this remains as condition 1.4 in the current permit.

part 2: 3. In secti and the report acknowledges a daily loss of water of 523,728 L. Even this acknowledged loss represents 32% of their daily pumping capacity and as indicated, company officials have suggested up to 85% water loss. B.

I am writing as a concerned citizen of Ontario and as someone who regularly visits the area of Tiny. I am concerned about the proposed permit to remove large amounts of water from the French's Hill area and nearby pond, and the ongoing removal of gravel, sand, stone and clay.

I am a Metis-Anishinaabe pers are sitting on the land, with no barrier between the asphalt and the ground to prevent contamination of the groundwater below.

We need to protect our water , for present and future generations, and this proposal will do the opposite. It is short term and dangerously irresponsible!

I am writing to ask the Government of for renewal of the Permit To Take Water No. 5003-APFH26. The Teedon gravel pit is located in the heart of the Waverley Uplands.
