    Why do we need this pit and how will the voters of Wilmot Town ship benefit from it. We do not need more dump trucks speeding up and down our roads and risk damaging our ground water. This will only benefit one person who does not live in this community . So for what reason remember who your voters are and who you represent .

    Do you realize how important our farmland is for food production. Too much land has been sold off already for other uses, not to mention the environmental effects and problems arising.

    This aggregate application cannot be justified based on the potential adverse impacts on local water resources.

    Ontario does not need any more aggregate pits. There is enough gravel in currently operating pits to last for many years.
