What started as the Thunder Hill subdivision has turned into a long, drawn out story of a developer trying to get as much as they can out of a highly sensitive natural area. Blue Mountain Watershed Trust has reviewed key documents going back decades, concluding with the powerful statement: “This development is to be located in one of the most ‘sensitive areas of this internationally significant natural heritage area.’”

Their report includes careful assessment of key environmental issues including Groundwater and Surface Water Resources, karst features, wetlands, wildlife habitats, woodlands and trees.

A big thanks to the hard work from our friends at Blue Mountain Watershed Trust for putting together this expert report!
