Part of the proposed pit is within a source water protection area. The nearby wells supply a significant amount of the water for Waterloo Region. Contamination by an oil spill or other toxic waste could run into the well and ruin this source of our water.

I object to the proposed Hallman Pit. I have the following major main concerns:
(a) The proposed Hallman Pit will violate the Climate Emergency Declaration of Wilmot Township
(b) It makes no sense to have a gravel pit in a Source Water Protection Area

I object to the proposed Hallman pit on Witmer Rd. This property backs onto my property and all of Shingletown. I do not want a gravel pit in my back yard.

The proposed Hallman Pit will violate the Climate Emergency Declaration of Wilmot Township.
It makes no sense to have a gravel pit in a Source Water Protection Area and the loss of habitat and animal life is completely unconscionable.

I am opposed to this proposal. The hundreds of thousands of truck trips per year will create traffic hazards for pedestrians, cyclists, school buses, agricultural machinery and local drivers. It will also unnecessarily contribute to carbon emissions.

I object to the proposed Hallman Pit. I understand that the proposed location of the pit falls within a Source Water Protection Area. I am concerned that the pit would have an adverse affect on water supply. Also, Wilmot Township has declared a Climate Emergency.

I strongly object to the Hellman Pit, the known negative impact on our precious water, the environmental concern and the trucking impact. There are enough pits to meet our needs! Don’t need another!
The proposed Hallman Pit will violate the Climate Emergency Declaration of Wilmot Township.
Putting a gravel pit in a Source Water Protection Area is a terrible idea!
Noise and dust will create severe negative health effects.

Although I object to the aggregate pit at this location in general, it must not be permitted to go below the water table. The ecological damage would be irreversible.
