Having reviewed the proposal, it's abundantly clear that the establishment of a contaminated soil treatment plant at 1490 Winhara Road is not just ill-advised, but downright reckless. Read more

It looks like the truck traffic will need to use one of two major entrances into cottage country of Muskoka. Not a good look in tourist season having a parade of contaminated soil being dumped between Bracebridge and Gravenhurst. Read more

It's outrageous that the establishment behind the contaminated soil treatment plant at 1490 Winhara Road didn't have the decency to inform residents beforehand about their plan to blast the site. Read more

For a number of years on and off I have lived on Winhara road. There is currently no horn operating with the blasting and if rules are already not being followed I’m concerned this will continue during the treatment of contaminated soil in a residential area with wells. Read more

This proposal is damaging to our natural resources and should not be approved. Citizens and home owners in the area and municipality do not want this. Listen to the community and stop destroying our environment.

It's doesn't take much thought to realize this area (Gravenhurst) is all water ...I mean, streams ,wetlands, ground water ,lakes,etc. Not a good place to wash soil. Or any other business with large volumes of potentially hazardous materials or chemicals Read more

The communication to the public on this has been abysmal, which unfortunately inspires critically minded citizens to wonder: what are they hiding; what is the true agenda here? Read more
