This is just so wrong. Way too much water being taken from the rivers and the resulting leaching of that now dirty water to the ground and some back to the rivers having a negative impact on the environment.
Please do not approve this and future similar applications.
Thank you

We have had a property on the Saugeen for over 50 years, and have enjoyed fishing, and swimming and canoeing on the river and hiking on its shores. We are still in awe everyday of it's beauty.

I oppose this permit to take water. The Saugeen River needs to be protected. Building intakes on this precious river causes damage and impacts the shoreline.

This is very detrimental to the environment. I object forcefully to this proposal. It will impact the water table in this area. Water is for everyone, not one company! Do not grant this request.
This approval would be such a mistake. As a frequent visitor to the Hanover area, I spend a lot of time on and around the Saugeen river and surrounding area. This would negatively affect so many people and especially those in the farming communities.
I say no this. Saugeen and Styx river is a major part omif about community and these big corporations can't take that from us just they can put money in their pocket. I say NO
I strongly oppose the taking of water from the Saugeen and Styx Rivers in Ontario for the purposes of the aggregate industry, using our rivers as a 'wash basin'.

I believe that this level 3 motion should not be even considered. I have a number of reasons for that. Although I don't live in the area anymore I am very familiar with the areas including Durham, Allen Park, Hanover and the Walkerton area. I was 1st into the area 48 years ago.

This proposal to take potentially massive volumes of water from the Saugeen river should not be permitted to proceed without a thorough environmental assessment by a qualified scientific body.

Hi
This needs to stop. Gravel pit owners are becoming more and more greedy, only care about making money. This river is a very important part of our environment. By taking more and more water from them it is going to damage our ecosystem. These rivers already have a huge impact

This proposal will be devastating to the town of Hanover, the environment and all residential areas affected by the Saugeen river.
The maximum amount of hours, and length of time they will be allowed to destroy the ecosystem is disgusting, this should have never been an option.

As a long time resident of this area, I am concerned that this proposal will not only lead to water shortages for all, but also will bring about long term environmental issues that cannot be resolved. The wildlife habitat and air quality will suffer along with the water table.
