HUNDER DEVELOPMENT LTD.-HUNSBERGER PIT

I have just started examining this proposed gravel pit between Golf Course Rd. in Conestogo and Katherine St. just south of Winterbourne. Here is the link to the online report I'm currently looking at.

This pit in total surface area is much larger than the Capitol Paving pit, proposed in West Montrose. To be fair however, my understanding is that the Capitol Paving pit will be followed by the Murray pit right beside it and then possibly a third pit. These pits share similarities in that in my opinion the gravel deposit isn't all that thick but it is extremely close to the surface and hence extremely accessible. What is similarily appalling is the legislation which enables both the destruction of prime agricultural land, the environment and the enjoyment of one's home and property. Perhaps more Canadian citizens need to observe the "negotiation" style of native Canadians in order to amend this draconian, grossly biased legislation in favour of the aggregates industry, at the expense of the environment and individual rights.
