KUNTZ GRAVEL PIT IN WINTERBOURNE
This proposed gravel pit expansion had seemed to be keeping a low profile in comparison to both the Hunder Development in Conestoga and the proposed Capitol Paving pit in West Montrose. Here in the Elmira Advocate I haven't written about this proposed expansion since July 19/10. Today's Woolwich Observer however has the following front page story "Tempers flare over gravel pit approval". Apparently at last Tuesday's Woolwich Council meeting, the old Council approved the Kuntz application. This is very unfortunate although I think that Council know if as a lame duck Council they approved either of the other two, they would appropriately have a riot on their hands. Of the current three ongoing, proposed new or expanded pits this one is the least likely to have major serious opposition. That doesn't mean it's either environmentally or socially an appropriate location.
