A quarry should not be…

A quarry should not be allowed to be developed so close to the QEII Wildlands Provincial Park. Especially one that would take aggregate from below the water table. This would have a major negative impact on the ecological integrity of the area. By going below the water table this would impact the wetlands in the park. This would imperil a species listed at risk that resides in the park as well as several other species. Increased truck traffic and dust from the quarry operation would also threaten the park and wildlife that inhabit the park and surrounding area. Ontario needs to address its insatiable appetite for gravel. The current government wants to portray itself as a 'green' government. In keeping with this goal this application should be denied. Do not approve this quarry.
