<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll be speaking with Waterloo's Ecological Advisory
Council regarding the proposed Highland Quarry in
Melancthon.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The power point is in the attachments. I tried to
show both the localized and broader scope issues for
onsite, impacts here and impacts downstream affecting
Erie.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the late 1980's the US Army Corp did a study on
the Ogallala seeing if it would be viable to pull water
from the Great Lakes to refill it. They scrapped the
idea basically because it could literally drain the
lakes. Political hot potato to say the least.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I can't help wondering if perhaps this quarry is
being used to augment hydrogeology to bump up volumes
heading either to Erie or the Ogallala. What happens if
more water goes south than north as a result of this
project? I believe there is a place in Wisconsin where
the spring thaw volumes overwhelm their local dams
introducing Lake Erie water into the subwatersheds to
the south currently. This community is exempt from
diversion legislation as a result. This quarry may act
as a means to increase those water volumes without
overtly indicating that this is a diversion scheme.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Either way in my view, the IJC must get involved with
this project ASAP and I would like GREN to help
facilitate a written correspondence to ask for that if
possible. </div>
