Extremely opposed to this as a frequent user and local resident near the Saugeen river. This will negatively impact the river, which is used by thousands of residents and tourists throughout the year.

Clean water is a right not enjoyed by many people, mostly Indigenous, in our community. Gravel washing will take and pollute this very precious gift of the Earth, putting many lives at risk in and beyond the Saugeen community.

Commenting on the Walker Put application for a permit to take water in a Category 3 with serious potential to harm the environment. I vehemently oppose this permit as it has potential to damage local ecology just to wash gravel?!

I object to the proposal from Walker Aggregates Inc. to be allowed to take 7,920,000 litres of water per day, every day of the year, for ten years, to wash aggregates at its pit at 381769 Concession 4 Road in Hanover, Ontario.

After reading through the proposal summary it is very clear to me that it makes the case for NOT approving this new permit. The proposal states that , if approved, it will have the ' highest potential of causing unacceptable environmental impactor interference'.

vote no for Walkers to use the Pond Water. Find/think of another way... I'm sure if you actually put your mind to it, there is a better way.
KEEP THINKING,NO MORE EXCUSES. ALL THIS RUN AROUND WE CONTINUE TO HEAR IS BECOMING A BIT MUCH DON'T YOU THINK?

As a First Nation member residing on watershed sacred island mountain also known as southwestern Ontario in so called grey county prohibit the walker corporation from extracting water 24-7
there was no consultation

As is well known, a Permit to take Water, or PTTW, can have a broad reaching impact. Of vital importance is the depth of the pond and the level to which the water will be drawn, as this will be the determining factor in the cone of influence of the drawdown.

Absolutely ridiculous. If they are using the water to wash, 24 hours is not needed. Hold the company accountable for their water usage and make them come up with a plan to lower it to a category 1
I am a resident that lives close to this impacted site. I have significant concerns that this is a category 3 that is anticipated to have the highest potential of causing unacceptable environmental impactor interference. Our entire community and many in surrounding areas rely solely on well water.

There is a lot of pressure to license even more gravel pits in the vicinity of the Walker operation and so it is somewhat shocking that a water taking application of this magnitude: up to 7,920 000 litres daily , every day for 10 years- can just be applied for as an amendment to a license without n
