The most recent proposed development for Cavan Monaghan Township by Brookfield Homes has rekindled our major concern with the ongoing saga of the Fraserville Secondary Plan.
We have always maintained that any new planned development should provide guarantees that NO raw sewage enter the Otonabee River. Our cattle drink the water year round, and our family enjoy the recreational aspect during the summer.
Mr. Al Duffy, the consultant for Brookfield homes is quoted as saying on Monday, April 5th, 2010 in the Peterborough Examiner, "I don't think we should any longer be able to build sewage treatment plants that just dump into the river". He also stated, "You have to use the water within the watershed that your're developing". In light of these remarks, we would ask the Cavan Monaghan Council to review the current official plan of the Fraserville Secondary Plan. An important step to protect the environment is the use of effluent waters for purposes such as watering lawns and fire emergencies.
Sincerely,
Pat and Don Wood
