    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.

    Must economic endeavours be considered over and above protecting our environment? We need to leave some land for our children that hasn’t been obliterated in the pursuit of profit.

    It’s very disturbing that your mayor speaks of a “done deal” prior to submission of an application. I hope you are successful!
