Comment
Grand(m)others Act to Save the Planet (GASP) is a grassroots climate action and advocacy group. We work tirelessly to create a liveable future for our children and grandchildren.
GASP is very much opposed to granting a permit to Esbaugh Sand and Gravel Ltd to take 9 720 000 litres of water a day for 230 days a year for ten years from Halman Pit in the Region of Waterloo. (ERO 026-0124)
The Region of Waterloo has a critical water capacity problem. A problem so serious that new development has been halted until a solution is found. The Wilmot Wells, located less than two kilometres away from the Halman Pit, may provide the water the region and developers are counting on to solve the water crisis. The water capacity in the Wilmot Wells would be adversely impacted if the Esbaugh Sand and Gravel Ltd. permit is approved.
The ERO posting acknowledges a Category 3 Risk meaning that it will have the highest potential of causing unacceptable impactor influence.
Clearly, this permit should not be granted.
