The bottom gate of this pit is about 35 feet from mission creek. All that separates the pit from the creek is a dirt road. Some accidents are preventable this one just got the go ahead. This pit effects everyone down stream that drinks the water from the black mountain irrigation district get ready for those high turbidity warnings. This is disappointing.

The applicant's address appears the same as a corp. that owns 3 golf courses in Kelowna. I think if one has a strong opposition to this type of pit. At the very least, you should boycott playing on those courses if this is the same company. They appear to want to profit from the beauty of the valley, yet they choose to mar it at the same time.
