I am opposed to this…

I am opposed to this proposal due to the following reasons;

- It's location is too close to existing residential neighbourhoods
- The volume of truck traffic required to operate this project will disturb the surrounding residents, and overwhelm and damage the existing roads.
- The town is opening the door to what could be a massive project in the future, leading to untold environmental impacts

Much more consultation with residents should occur, as I don't believe that many are aware of this proposal. There is much land in Chatham-Kent, including a much-underused industrial park beside the 401 highway, which could easily accommodate the volume of truck traffic proposed.

The existing ethanol plant should never have been located where it is. Its upwind location blankets the town with a foul stench that has permanently devalued property and tarred the town's reputation as a good place to raise a family. Importing this incredible volume of garbage into the same area is hardly going to help things.

At the very least, no approval should be granted this project until after the pending Municipal election, is order to give residents a say in this process.

Thank you for this opportunity to comment.
