With supporting documents my submission is 45 pages long but I'll spare you the details unless requested.<br><br>In a nutshell, you can't assess the risks using outdated bore hole data (taken from 1945!) or without seasonal variants represented. Bore holes don't work in Outwash moraine system unless Ground Penetration Radar is also used. As long as they are relying on only Modflow to assess risks, based on their flawed models without regard to actual geology, sedimentology or current data, their projections have no reasonable scientific basis!<br><br>In the attachment is the map to show the proximity of this Quarry to the Grand River
Watershed. Keep in mind, surface water features are what governs the current delineation of watersheds mappings don't have the full regard for the connectivity of aquifers etc.<br><br>Lulu :0)<br></div>
