A preliminary hearing date regarding the permit to take water from Long’s Quarry has been set.
Sue Munro represents the Citizens Against Melrose Quarry and she says the Environmental Review Tribunal will sit in Tyendinaga Township on the last week in January.
The group is against a provincial government decision to allow C.H Demill Holdings to take upwards of four millions litres of water a day out of the local water table.
Munro says residents are concerned about their own wells running dry and having their roads ruined by large machinery going in and out of the proposed Melrose Road business.
Long’s Quarry, already working in Tyendinaga, would be adjacent to the proposed new Melrose quarry.
There is a meeting tonight for the Citizens at Melrose United Church beginning at 7 p.m.
