I am opposed to approval of the new Hallman Pit in Wilmot Township on Witmer Road. We do not need another gravel pit that is disruptive to the community, poses health and environmental threats and may cause problems for the Shingeltown wells. Local citizens do not deserve to have the value of their homes driven down due to this pending pit development. We need to preserve prime agricultural farm land.

PLEASE STOP THE PIT.

Thank you.

I fully agree with everyone on the negative affects the gravel pit will have on our water.We deserve good quality water that we receive from our wells. Why a another gravel pit that we DO NOT NEED has that right to take this away from us in the surrounding area is beyond my understanding. I am also very concerned about the poor air quality . My back yard is right next to the pit. I have COPD and am on oxygen at night. I do not wish to live my life on oxygen 24 hours a day because I have difficulty breathing. from poor air quality caused by the gravel pit.I have a right to sit outside on my Sun deck without dust , dirt etc. Also crushed concrete if that is allowed.If the wind is blowing our way it will be impossible to enjoy sitting outside for some fresh air.What right do you have to take that away from me? We already have 3 gravel pits in this area that affects our quality of air.WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER GRAVEL PIT. Thank you for allowing me to voice my opinion. My health as well as everyone else should be strongly taken into consideration. Thank you for turning the proposal down. You are our voice so please continue to support us , the community.Thanks again.

Water is a finite resource that should be free for all. And that we do not need in plastic bottles.
