<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>Hi folks</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This regards Mount Nemo in Burlington where a proposed quarry expansion poses a risk to ground water and surface water features as well asJefferson Salamander habitats. Stantec did the Environmental Impact studies which received strong criticism from Halton Hill's Conservation Authority. This group has fought a long hard battle and are in an excellent position to stop this quarry and now they are seeking public funds for the final stretch, to help them cover the costs of their experts at the OMB. If you would like to help them out details are below. The implications of this case could very well help govern the future fate of similar quarries in our own area so it is a great cause to support.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
