    Just because I don’t live right in Wilmot, I do live in Waterloo region and it is still all of our ground water and our world. Stop the gravel pits.

    I am opposed to the Hallman Pit even more than I was in the beginning. With everything I have learned from the experts, articles and from other persons forced to live in the vicinity of a gravel pit, I now understand fully the negative impacts gravel pits have on human and animal life, water, ecosystems, farmland, and air quality, and road safety. To be honest, I do not even understand why this gravel pit would even be a consideration.

    This pit & the zoning to facilitate it should not be approved based on the environmental & economic impacts it will have on the local & regional communities.

    I am concerned that we are taking for granted our incredible water resources. And based on the fact that this is a protected area, I object to this land use.

    I strongly oppose this gravel pit proposal. From its environmental impacts regarding water qualities to the foreseeable decades of devastation from noise,dirt,dust and smells associated with these types of operations, the Council should bare full responsibilities associated with liabilities including loss of nearby property values and health issues that arise from gravel pits. We are not in support of this gravel pit and asphalt recycling plan in the historic village of Shingletown and trust the Council and Mayor will make the right decision to protect its people, community character and health of our children and environment.
