Impacts of TCE PSP

Reference Number

Text

After viewing the IAAC TCE PSP presentation tonight, June 18, 2026, we saw that there is undue harm to the environment, the huge amount of destruction of water quality and the health and safety of population surrounding Georgian Bay. The ring dam alone is a catastrophe waiting to happen as it is being constructed on the karst strata of the escarpment. Like building a skyscraper on a giant sponge for a foundation. 
The damage to the areas homes, population, flora and fauna is not even measurable, not if the ring dam fails but when the ring dam fails on such unstable karst geology. The Johnstown PA flood of 1889 is a good example of what happens when a huge out of proportion dam bursts. 
All that said, those of us who live under the shadow of the ring dam and reservoir, over 800 persons and their homes will be devalued to about 10% of the current real estate market! And our homes and property rendered uninsurable. That's a very big impact! Infringement on all of our rights and freedoms! 
The impacts mentioned in the IAAC opening presentation all warrant infraction of many environmental regulations and  public health and safety statutes and regulations and their acts. Enough impacts to shut down the project and to tell TCE that the project is totally unacceptable and unfeasible! 
Sincerely,

Richard Elzby
