"Thank you for your coverage of this potential mega-mistake. While Ontarians do need aggregate, Melancthon (90 minutes north west of Toronto) is not a good location to be extracting below the water table. The water from this headwaters area runs south to Lake Erie, west to Lake Huron and north/east to Georgian Bay. It is source water for one million Ontarians. This area is also productive prime farmland. The cost of aggregate taken from this area will be paid by Ontarians in fresh food and clean water. Walkerton showed us the dangers of contaminated water. It is a cost that Ontarians cannot afford to pay. For more information see www.facebook.com/friends.of.ndact"
