Hi folks
The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing said the Minister of Environment
may be open to discussion about a Waterloo Moraine Act. He has invited me to
speak further on the matter with the MOE Minister Wilkinson. I used to go to
church with the entire Wilkinson family for years in Trenton where I grew up. We
sat behind his family in church so it will be nice to see him again. See letter
in the attachment for details.
This election I've been working with the Liberal party and tonight I got a call.
I'll be meeting Michael Ignatieff tomorrow with the rest of the KW liberal
supporters. I'd like to ask him how much money the Liberal Party intends to
allocate towards their proposed federal water protection act.
I've been reviewing the Highland Quarry data and the Hydrogeology reports are
absolutely outrageous.
I'm working on a draft response but in a nutshell I can tell you the following:
They based their data on modflow models which is computer program to determine
flow based on numbers from bore hole data. Since many of the surrounding land
owners prohibited them from entering their property to test their wells, many of
the bore hole readings used for Modflow were taken back in 1945. Without access
to those wells they relied on the MOE info regarding the standard drinking water
tests for residental wells as if that data could reasonably forcast the water
quality impacts of this mega quarry. Modflow doesn't have much regard to geology
or sediment type so all their projections on infiltration rates are pretty much
fabricated on unsubstantiated claims. There is really no reasonable baseline
data to work with in regards to this project. No spring thaw analysis, lack of
12 month creek studies etc. Same old same old.
If I were going to the OMB against this, the professionals needed would include
a geologist/sediment expert and hydrologist. They'd have a field day with this
rubbish. Here's the EIS link if your curious:

Have a good one folks

and the Hydrogeology reports are absolutely outrageous.

-They based their data on modflow models which is computer program where you
basically punch in the numbers from bore hole data. Since many of the
surrounding land owners prohibited them from entering their property to test
their wells, the figures used were readings taken back in 1945! There is no
regard to geology or sediment type so all their projections on infiltration
rates are as realistic as unicorn meat. There is really no reasonable baseline

This election I've been working with the Liberal party doing all sorts of odd
jobs like delivering signs etc. and I was just informed that I'll be meeting
Michael Ignatieff
