I think it is absolutely disgusting. Uxbridge used to be a nice place to live. Turning this site into a permanent industrial complex will only be inviting more trash into the confines of Uxbridge.

With Miller’s history of non compliance, and deliberate disregard to our agreements this is not a situation we as a town should be placed in. Our water will be placed at a significant risk, especially having fill distributed up here that is likely contaminated. Our WATER!

Uxbridge is a beautiful place to live and feel safe , I am disgusted and upset to learn this new information. I live close to the natural spring water that people stop by and get clean drinking water from , by the hundreds that come here daily .

I strongly object to Miller Paving Ltd.'s application that would allow them to import fill to their site because this would undoubtedly put the local aquifer at risk.

I am down the street from this proposed site by 2 minutes drive. I oppose this proposal completely and would like to know when the townhall for this will be.

I totally disagree with allowing Miller Paving to designate their pit as industrial for future use as a land fill and God knows what else! With all the current building boom in Uxbridge at the expense of green space, the last thing we need is a new industrial site!!
The proposal from Miller Boyington Pit 3 to modify its agreement must be categorically rejected. My experience in living close to the pit has exponentially worsened in the last 18 months. The smells, dust, noise, and ridiculous amount of dangerous truck traffic is impossible to ignore.

DO NOT DO THIS. WE DO NOT WANT OR NEED THIS INDUSTRY IN OUR TOWN
THERE ARE OTHER REMOTE PLACES IN THIS HUGE PROVINCE WHERE PEOPLES LIVES WONT BE DISRUPTED
SHAME ON YOU
OVERVIEW
For the reasons that follow, I urge the Ministry to refuse the application and to order Miller Paving to comply with long standing non-compliance reports that have persistently required Miller Paving to remove the illegal outdoor contractor's yard since 2015.

This is absolutely not okay. This is the oak ridge moraine and I strongly disagree with this becoming a dumping ground for goodness knows what with little policing that could impact local health and safety and the fragile water table.
The final land use was supposed to be rehabilitation. How do you arbitrarily change a final land use? The last thing Uxbridge needs is to have its character changed to an industrial warren of unattractive and empty units like Pickering by the water.
This proposal is appalling. There is no economic benefit to our town. This sets a dangerous precedence to changing our pits to dumps and puts our ground water at risk which is a valuable resource to our family and countless others.

I am writing this submission to express my strong opposition to Miller's application to amend the site plan for Boynington Pit; to ask you, as our provincial Ministry, to look closely at the facts and implications of this application and to say no.

To MNRF re Application for change of use for Boyington Pit #3 Uxbridge Ontario
As the pit has been mined out, it should be rehabilitated according to the law regarding mining of aggregates--no excuses.

As a resident of Uxbridge I feel this is a very slippery slope and not in the best interest of Uxbridge. I do not have any issues having aggregates in the community but too many of anything is not a good thing and also they need to be controlled and monitored.
Miller has a history of non compliance. I cannot believe that the Ministry in charge of protecting the environment would allow this company to dump fill on our moraine aquifer. Please, please, please stop this from happening.
I am submitting this comment because of a major concern I have with the Miller Paving proposal to establish a contractor’s yard at the southwest corner of the aggregate pit.

I strongly disagree with the intentions of landfill in this proposed site on environmental reasons. This company cannot be allowed to go ahead with this proposal and the people of Uxbridge must be given a voice to comment - urgently.
