Water pipe construction harming the Salmon River

IMG_0625

The Salmon River Enhancement Society has significant concerns about the East Langley pipeline project carrying water to Aldergrove. There could be a significant impact on the health of the Salmon River and the wildlife that relies upon it. Citizens in the area report that:

  • small tributaries have been covered over and lost
  • a much wider swath of trees and vegetation has been removed which could lead to landslides
  • wet and course material removed during construction is being dumped in the riparian zone
