It's possible those evaluating this permit aren't keeping up with the news in Kitchener-Waterloo, but as a resident of the city of Waterloo, I can say we're having a bit of a issue with our water supply, to the point where the regional government has halted much-needed large housing projects until w

Has the full environmental impact of this application been studied? It is unreasonable to approve this permit at this time, when the Region of Waterloo currently has a water capacity issue, and the health of the aquifers is being studied.

Have groundwater impacts have been fully assessed?
Is it possible that nearby wells could be affected? This is quite a lot of water over an extended period of time.

Waterloo region is in the middle of a water supply crisis that has stopped all housing development in KW. We cannot simultaneously approve large industrial water taking permits until this is resolved. Has the effect on the water table been considered for this application?

I'm concerned about this impact this project will have on the Region's water supply. We're in a water crisis right now and even before the current situation we've had water restrictions in place every year.

This request needs to be denied. Wilmot and Waterloo region are facing water issues. No one seems to be looking out for the rural residents who rely on private wells for their consumption. What happens to these people when the water aquifers run dry?

Do not approve this proposal! The Waterloo Region is facing a water capacity crisis. There is a development freeze in the area due to the inability to sustainably meet the water demand.

What impact will this have on surrounding groundwater wells?

Allowing a permit for more water to be drilled when the region has halted million dollar projects causing potential bankruptcy because of a water shortage and not enough infrastructure?
Irresponsible and not acceptable.

Please do NOT APPROVE this request for water!
Water experts have said that it would be almost impossible for this new massive water taking permit for the gravel pit not to have negative impacts on these nearby wells that everyone is counting on.

This proposal must be rejected. Undisciplined growth has overwhelmed the natural resources of Waterloo Region to crisis point. To take more water at this point is ridiculously short-sighted.

I am strongly opposing the Esbaugh Sand and Gravel Ltd. application to draw water from a pond on the property for aggregate washing and dust suppression.
Our region faces a severe water shortage due to extensive growth in both new business and new housing developments.

"I am a resident concerned about the Esbaugh Sand and Gravel PTTW. This is a Category 3
application, which is the highest risk level. I am specifically worried that taking 9.7 million litres of
water per day will dry up local wells near monitoring stations K50, K51, and K52. Please deny

This application must be rejected. When the Hallman Gravel Pit was approved by the OLT several years ago, I understand that their application said they didn't need any water. Now they want 10 million litres of water per day.
