Several UNB Woodlot Watchers reported a muddy Corbett Brook near Alison Boulevard to the Department of Environment in July 2007. Changes in the colour and siltation of the brook are suspected to be the result of land clearing for the road currently being built through the UNB Woodlot. The Department of Environment has yet to respond to those who filed a complaint and those who filed the complaint are left wondering if any action has been taken by the Department of Environment to remedy the situation and protect the Corbett Brook watershed.

Wow! This is clearly an example of how to mishandle a river. The cutters need to install preventative sediment barriers and leave a significant buffer between the trees and the river for their operation to be legal. They should be ordered to stop immediately and rework their plan of operation before they could be allowed to continue. Good luck to you folks,
