The council passed the moratorium and accepted our amendments to include active permits. This outcome is a direct result of the 192 people who signed their names to protect our land. Keep watching the council proceedings to ensure they follow through on these new rules.

Langley Township Councillor Charlie Fox made a Notice of Motion for a moratorium on "non-farm use" fill site applications in the Township. This motion will be presented at the next council meeting on September 10, 2012. If passed, it would apply to any future "non-farm use" Soil Deposit Applications. Reasons for Moratorium Many fill sites in Langley have caused: - depreciation of neighboring property values - flooding of neighboring lands - loss of health and quality of life due to excessive noise and dust - destruction of watercourses - potential contamination of groundwater Petition I, the undersigned, request that council support this fill-site moratorium at the September 10, 2012 council meeting. In addition, I request that council support an amendment to Fox's motion to include a moratorium on extensions to active deposit permits and a moratorium on deposit permits that are in progress but have not yet been granted.

The council is keeping quiet right now but our volume of signatures is forcing this issue into their inner chambers. Call your local councillor today and demand that they expand the moratorium to include all active and pending permits.

We hit a major milestone that proves the Council cannot ignore these impacts on our land and water. Go to the township website right now to email your representative and demand they vote for the full moratorium expansion.

Keep our farmlands for farming not for dumping garbage soil. Hope this passes.

The noise and dust from these sites is unreal. My kids cant even play outside anymore without coughing. Enough is enough.

Council needs to look at the flooding issues. My basement has been hit twice because of the runoff from that site. Unacceptable.
