Editor: We want jobs, too. It鈥檚 about the heath of our community鈥檚 water.

Thanks to Mr. Seguin for his letter the Times, May 24).

With respect, I do question many of Mr. Seguin鈥檚 assertions.

However, this is exactly the kind of conversation that 91原创 residents need, because most of us just don鈥檛 know enough about clean and dirty emissions.

Ebco and Weir Canada Inc are not asking to emit steam. They鈥檙e seeking permits to discharge air contaminants/pollutants from their facilities in Campbell Heights Business Park.

Combined, the two applications are requesting to emit into the air 13,360 pounds per year of assorted industrial pollutants. Is this light industry? Are we crying wolf?

Is concern for the Brookswood aquifer a red herring or a dead red herring?

Questions abound and 91原创 residents deserve clear, precise answers.

We鈥檙e not experts. We鈥檙e asking for a proper environmental review by experts to explain the real consequences and impact of these industrial emissions on our aquifers, above-ground water systems and on our air quality.

Marilyn Henderson,

Brookswood
