As well, they will be drawing water which will be run off into the cranberry and head rivers.

This proposed quarry concerns me greatly; in particular I am concerned for the preservation of the
water in the area. I understand that drilling and blasting will be below the water table, and the
results could be disastrous for many of us beyond the stated limit of Giofam's responsibility.

I am opposed to Giofam Investment Inc.'s proposal for mining 200,000 tonnes of granite annually
and a “Permit to Take Water of 8.1 million litres/day”. The impact that this water taking will have
on both water quality and quantity could be devastating.

I am writing to voice my objection to the proposed development of a quarry in such close proximity
to QEII Wildlands Provincial Park. This project will threaten the species which inhabit the park,
particularly those which are endangered.

I am writing with respect to the proposed quarry to be built in Dalton township off of Monck road
because I firmly believe that not
enough research has gone into understanding the impact of such a quarry on the local environment.
