Dear Editor:
When Creemore Springs Brewery was asked last week about the potential effects on their production and product from the proposed “MegaQuarry” in Melancthon, the brewmaster wrote, “My understanding of the watersheds in the area is that our source is distinct from the area that will be affected, both in terms of elevation and direction of flow.” But how can he be sure?
Given Al Clarke’s article last week, what about the “unknown unknowns”? Wouldn’t it be best to call for an Environmental Assessment now to get Highland Companies to prove that taking water from 200 feet below the water table will in no way affect Creemore Springs beer? Or are we just prepared to have water trucked in from who knows where?
Sandi Wong, Creemore
