As a resident of Springwater Township in Elmvale, Ontario, I am totally against the re-issue of a permit to allow Dufferin Aggregates to use water from their site on French's Hill in Waverley Ontario.

The requests of the Dufferin Aggregate Company must be rejected. The entire region we farm in must become an aggregate free zone.This is to ensure the purity of the water. This water that drains into Georgian Bay is known as the cleanest water on the world.

I live near the gravel pit when they wash gravel it negatively impacts our well silt and orange water. The noise is unbelievable they have created a natural amphitheater effect. We no longer enjoy sitting outside or having the windows open in the time of thier operation.

When we observe water crises like the one in South Africa this year, and listen to the warnings of scientists around the world, the obvious takeaway is that water is the world's most precious commodity and one that should be protected at all costs. Read more

You will not be compromising the worlds purest water, we saved this water once already and we are not letting you take water from this aquifer. We were not consulted and will not allow this to happen in our territory! We stand as one and we are many!

As a local resident, I strongly disagree with the proposed expansion of Dufferin & Aggregates. I do not consent to the usage of more water for their processing. I also do not consent to the usage of the land at that location as a dump for roads laid to waste.

After moving here and then personally driving around the country side to see exactly what these below water gravel pit digs entail, I was dismayed to see so many abandoned, non usable water filled gravel pits. Read more

Points that are understood - not necessarily agreed with: 1) That the PPS places a greater priority years with the condition that local private wells be closely monitored from a baseline determined before aggregate operations begin, and extraction and washing halted should any negative impacts be

This land is intended as a filter for aquifers in this area and acts like a filter to keep the water as pure as possible.
