(CWRA) CONESTOGA WINTERBOURNE RESIDENTS ASSOC'N.

Representing them at Monday night's televised Council meeting was Keri Martin Vrbanac. She did an excellent job speaking to the proposed Hunder gravel pit although the proposed expansion to the Kuntz/Jigs Hollow Pit was also shown on the overhead screen. Experts hired by the CWRA have carefully examined numerous issues allegedly taken care of according to the experts hired by the developers. These issues include noise abatement studies which the CWRA experts have deemed invalid. Dust abatement studies were deemed inaccurate and total aggregate quantity and quality estimates were deemed suspect. Also the proposed final rehabilitation has been deemed inadequate as well as the suggested height of the water table is still in question. That particular issue has always been of interest to me because it can fluctuate widely. Who could possibly deny that the water table right now isn't far higher than historically normal? Finally it was pointed out that indeed the Hunder Pit Application is going to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) for determination and that the CWRA will be there as a party.
