STOP. Do not proceed.
This proposal is sacrificing and an affront to environmental rights.
You also must get the free, prior, informed consent of all First Nations and Indigenous communities with territory in or significant relationships with the province.

'Reduced burden' is a totally reckless concept when dealing with such a sensitive issue. This Provincial government is causing enormous harm to the natural environment and, eventually, this will become more than evident in the consequences to humans. The clock is ticking.

379,000 litres of groundwater-taking PER DAY is an unacceptable number!
The implication is that the construction is occuring on a wetland which we should be preserving.

Absolutely NOT! We need MORE oversight and excellent quality monitoring of our water!
We need scientists checking on all construction proposals that could taint our water in any way!

Regulatory frameworks such as the Clean Water Act and the Ontario Water Resources Act were designed to manage and protect our shared water resources, ecosystems, and health.
Key regulatory tools that currently protect our water include:

this Proposal is ill conceived and not in the public interest.
The current process or a stricter one, must be kept in place requiring specific approval for any waste movement plan or proposal.
Please reconsider lessening of existing Enviromental controls or approvals required.

I object to the changes in how aggregate extraction permits are to be approved, given the effect pits and quarries can have on communities, neighbours, traffic, the environment, property values, and quality of life.

Streamlining is a nice word, but in this case, it means disregarding the seriously important measure to assess the risk taking for "water taking" permits. To allow developers to "self regulate" is appalling.

For the Proposed regulatory amendments to O. Reg. 63/16 under the Environmental Protection Act
1. What defines “more complex water taking” that will be subject to the ministry review? How is that triggered? Will there be a review period?

Regarding: Our Sept 18, 2023 Request for Extension of Public Comment Periods for ERO Numbers 019-6928, 019-6853, 019-6963, and 019-6951 to a Minimum of 145 Days
Dear Hon. Andrea Khanjin, Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks,

I am writing in opposition of the ERO# 019-6853.
With recent and ongoing dealings with the aggregate industry, I see nothing but turmoil for communities, our ecosystems, drinking water and our health should such a proposal be allowed to pass.

ERO #019-6853
Allowing up to 379,000 litres of groundwater-taking per day without a permit threatens aquifers, impacts wells, and strains municipal infrastructure

This is a step in the right direction to streamline the approval process for municipal infrastructure projects like watermain and sewer construction. I support this change.
I am deeply disturbed by many of the changes to streamline permits and environmental permissions in Ontario, including ERO number 019-6951, ERO number 019-6853, ERO number 019-6963, and ERO number 019-6928.
