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.

We owe it to future generations to save areas like the Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Park from
development. I realize that the area that Giofam Investment's Inc is proposing to mine is outside
of the park but the environmental impact that will be felt by the park will be devestating.

Please don't allow another wild life habitat to be destroyed. We do not need more aggregate. We
can learn a lesson from Europe on conservation and recycling of what is already available.

I object to a quarry so close to the QEII Wildlands Provincial Park; and that it will affect the
ecological integrity of the area.
I object to the damage this will cause to the species at risk listed under Ontario’s Endangered
Species Act.
I object to drawing down the water table in a signif

To permit a quarry that will endanger species at risk, to endanger a significant watertable and,
in general, to infringe on such a very special provincial park is outrageous.
Please do not permit the establishment of this quarry, there are lots of other sources of granite
Ontario.

I object to the introduction of a quarry adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth Park. A quarry runs
against all modern attempts to preserve the natural environment.

The proposed quarry poses serious threats to the environment, as well as to the safety and quality
of life of the Dalton area residents. The site is located adjacent to a national park, in the heart
of a lush wetland home to a diverse range of species.

As a citizen of Ontario, I feel privileged to reside in a province that holds such a diverse and
extensive network of parks and conservation reserves, accounting for nearly 10% of the land

This type of industrialisation will be devastating to the Eco System that depends on it, of which
us humans are a part of. We do not need what this company intends to extract from our earth in this
area, tell them to go do it somewhere else!

As a Canadian citizen, I believe this quarry will impinge on the resources (primarily the
groundwater) of the nearby National park,.Heavy equipment and increased human activity near the
park will eventually degrade the 'widness' of the environment, which is the reason it was
established in the fi

Giofam Investments Inc.'s proposal to mine 200,000 tonnes of granite in QEII Wilderness Park
As a citizen of Ontario, I am strongly opposed to Giofam Investments Inc.'s proposal to mine
200,000 tonnes of granite and to create a crushed granite quarry in
Read more
I wish to object to such deep pits being allowed to be dug so very deep below the water table so
very close to Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park. It can only degrade one of the so very
few wilderness areas we have left.

Dear Inspector(s), and anyone else who may read this,
I hope you do get to this comment, being submitted effectively at the end of the comment period for
the EBR, but I hope more that you view the proposal fairly as what it is, the concept of gaining
one resource while risking another.

With the announcement yesterday of the approval of the gravel extraction near Wawa, it has become
even more important that that not set a precedent for willy-nilly rubber-stamping of these
projects.

I am writing to to object to a quarry so close to the QEII Wildlands Provincial Park, as it will
affect the ecological integrity of the area. I am concerned over the damage this will cause to the
species at risk listed under Ontario’s Endangered Species Act.

The proposal and licence application should be denied, and the governments reasons for doing so
clearly defined. It is the ultimate hypocrasy to allege to protect the environment and destroy it
at the same time.
