MAWT Inc. would like to thank Loretta for all the hard work she has put into this fight. She truly is an advocate and a voice for the natural beauty, ecosystems and wildlife of West Lincoln and area that is being threatened by the NRWC Project. She has most definitely done her homework and if there was anyone in that room today that was an “expert” on the topic it was her, regardless of what the proponents lawyers say. 🙂
Hi everyone,
I testified at the ERT today in Wainfleet. My presentation is attached if you are interested in the details. There are 4 sub issues. These include concerns for migratory butterfly stopover areas, encroachment on provincially significant wetlands, inadequate mitigation measures for woodlands and red mulberry. There are so many other issues. For example, there is no evidence to show that winter raptor transects were conducted within the interior of the woodlands. 62 permits are required by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority. These are still pending. There are 20 industrial wind turbines proposed in Blanding’s turtle habitat in Lowbanks, all on private property. There are many properties within this habitat where ‘alternative investigations – ie roadside surveys” were allowed. The MNR is allowing this to proceed. If anyone would like more information, please feel free to contact me.
