I live in rural Eastern Ontario. I am deeply, deeply concerned about the proposals to loosen controls water takings for construction site dewatering activities and foundation drain.

The move to streamline permissions for temporary water taking activities at construction sites is a significant step towards efficiency. It's reassuring to note that while the volume limit would be removed, and that environmental impact remains a top priority.

I do not agree with the proposal to streamline permissions for large scale water takings by anyone. Water is a common resource that we must all share and to make this work we must all have oversight over how it is used.

As a resident of Ontario, I am opposed to this for these reasons:
• I insist that study MUST be done to fully understand the impact of water taking on each individual site
• I demand that public consultation and input MUST continue to be part of the granting of water taking permits

I oppose Ontario’s proposal under ERO number 019-6853 to remove the current limit and allow up to 379,000 litres of groundwater-taking per day without permit.

Ontario is proposing to make residential foundation drainage systems exempt from requiring a PTTW for water taking of up to 379,000 litres of water per day. For water taking of more than 379,000 litres of water per day from residential foundation drainage systems, a PTTW will still be required.

The County of Brant submits:
• Who will monitor the water quality of the discharge for foundation drain dewatering or PTTW dewatering? Who will monitor these impacts to source water or ground water resources?
• Water taking amounts taken is a concern at 400,000 L/day.

Dear Sirs,
I do not support the regulatory changes proposed. Surely, there are ways to improve efficiency without removing oversight and review prior to approval.

I feel streamlining the regulatory process by offering Permit by Rule by self registration using EASR for water taking for construction sites and foundations drains would be detrimental for the Environment. I am opposed to this proposal.
"...This would allow someone to self-register on the Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR) ...Furthermore, Ontario is proposing to remove the current requirements to notify the local conservation authority of the water taking" -- This suggests that the registration is completely on an ho
