To Whom it May Concern,

As a neighbour of the Red Eagle Campground for many years, I am writing with concern about the sewage system of the trailer park. Since the 1970's, the Red Eagle has undergone extensive growth. It is essential for the health of Wollaston Lake, the surrounding environment, and our local economy that their sewage system is done right. The same applies to all lakefront property owners, naturally, but since the trailer park's sewage system needs to support 226 families this represents the largest stakes of any system on the lake. Of particular concern is that their property, like the properties of many others of us on the lake, is on a floodplain/close to the water table.

We need to ensure the growth of invasive species such as Eurasian milfoil is not being aided by phosphorus from inadequate sewage systems. When going up the Deer River, one can now see the many trailer sites that are right on the river, and changes made to the shoreline due to moorings or docks for boats. There is a large and growing infestation of Eurasian milfoil along and at the mouth of the Deer River, where it enters Wollaston Lake.

We need to be better informed before a decision is made regarding the Red Eagle's ECA. I am requesting the MECP make all supporting documentation available for this purpose. Thank you for your consideration.
