As a resident of Tyendinaga Township, and living close to Long's and Melrose Quarry, why would this permit even be entertained? There are many homes in the area who depend on their wells!
Community relies on this water of which there can be periods of short supply. No individual landowner should be allowed to consume as much as is being requested at the detriment of others.

I do not agree this change, should NOT be approved let alone as a category 3. This area is not on well water and aquifer is variable. There are summers where local area have gone dry and this action would impact ability to access water year round.
To whom it may concern:
As a resident who lives within 2 km of the quarry we have great concern over the stability and longevity of our water supply. Water is not something we take for granted. It is essential to survival.

Commenting as a resident on an adjacent road, a family that will be greatly impacted by the proposal of a category 3 permit to take water. I do not support this proposal.

I'm absolutely floored that this is even being talked about. A category 3 should NEVER even be talked about, if it is going to cause any issues at all. That's unethical and unreasonable to do the citizens in the township.

I certainly oppose the granting this permit to take water at a Category 3 level 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
I'm very concerned about the long term adverse environmental impact to wildlife in the area and overall water sustainability and cleanliness to all life in the Shannonville area.

We are quite concerned for everyone's wells. Will this company pay to refill our wells when we run put of water due to your taking our water? This is unacceptable. Just because we are rural does not give you the right to take our water. We need our water to survive.

As a resident, I am extremely concerned about this proposal. Our water source is a fragile commodity, one we shouldn't waste. This is already listed as a category 3, and consideration to expand the amount of water taking is both foolish and short-sighted.

Hello
I am concerned about the long term repercussions of this proposal. A Level 3 puts us all at risk of not having resources.
Will there be a community out reach an vote? Alongside visibility on long term side effects, also where is the water taken to?

I am opposed to this proposal to take water (amendment). As a resident I am deeply concerned for the impact on the local water table which is under significant strain currently.
I think it is excessively exploitive and unsustainable.
The proposal is a Category 3 permit level. How can this even be considered then? The onus should be on the business requesting this, to prove it will not be an issue for drinking water quality, the environment, impact to wildlife etc.

I am opposed to Demill’s application to dewater Long’s quarry. The amount of water suggested is apt to turn the local groundwater reserves into a dust bowl. All of the neighbours depend on this groundwater to enable human and animal drinking, washing and flushing.

This is a very very very bad plan and should never ever be approved. It will have drastic effects on the environment. With what they are taking out of the water table now some of the ponds that never ever went dry in the hottest summers are now drying up in the summer.

As a resident of Tyendinaga township, I oppose this proposal. I live a few Kilometres from this site and already have to bring water in during the summers to subsidize my well, as do many of my neighbours.

I live on Melrose Road. There are 3 categories and the permit Demill holdings is proposing is a category 3. This is very concerning. The water going back into the ground could be contaminated and could cause environmental issues. Why is this being allowed.

Living within 2km of Longs Quarry, we are concerned with our well. We have a hand dug 23' well that has presumably been used since the house was built in 1893.
We currently have livestock on our 172 acre property.
