Adjournment 3/320 Dundas Turtle Watch 49, Kirby Ave. Dundas ON L9H 6H6 To: Environment Hamilton Re: Proposed Kirkwall to Hamilton Valve natural Gas pipeline August 2020 DTW is aware that we have missed deadline dates for submissions against the pipeline, but a turtle pond on the Brock Road has just been brought to our notice. DTW does not approve of turtle habitat being disturbed for a pipeline anywhere along the proposed Kirkwall to Hamilton Valve route especially the Beverley swamp and a known turtle pond on the Brock Road. There is no good time to move large equipment through such sensitive lands as turtles are nesting in the spring, turtles eggs are in nests all through the summer and hatch in the Fall, they then live in the mud, during all their winter hibernation. It takes fourteen to twenty years for a female snapping turtle to reach adult maturity to lay her first batch of eggs. If this cycle is broken or disturbed, then those turtles are lost forever. All the species of turtles in this area are on the Ontario species at risk list. They will be destroyed whenever the pipeline is constructed. It would then take years, if it happened at all, for the any turtle to rehabilitate on lands damaged to that extent by a pipeline corridor.
