I have concerns about this proposal for several reasons.
1. the proposal for below the water table extraction will impact private wells in the area
2. the proposed entrance will create a traffic hazard as this intersection is already dangerous and
no improvements have been proposed .... the entrance should be moved to a better location
3. the traffic study which has been done is incomplete ... no study has been conducted on Friday
through to Monday .... prime traffic times in a tourist region such as ours.
4. I have concerns about the silica component of the granite dust . Silica has been identified as
a hazardous substance and I see no indication that there may not be health impacts to near
neighbours ..... I would like to see information that has been done in this regard for established
granite quarries and this information would need to be over a span of 30 years at least since the
effects of silicosis can take many years to come into play
