Quarry 3, Fishy Business 22m04s

De Clarke / Cortes Currents - This article addresses misstatements or deficits in the Management Plan document regarding streams and fish. The document states that "There are no permanent or ephemeral watercourses or wetlands located within the tenure. No water will be discharged to the environment during or post-operation. An unnamed creek runs 15m to the east of site […] There are no aquatic disturbances that will result in any fish habitat being affected by the development. " Local Streamkeepers Christine and Cec Robinson are not so sure. They feel that the Management Plan misrepresents the situation on the ground in the quarry area. Cortes Streamkeepers have been monitoring and collecting data on Cortes streams and fish spawning patterns for 40 years. This is what they have to say about the quarry expansion.
