Haltons concern for the Credit River when constructing projects along its banks According to Ms Barron poor construction practices especial ly with respect to land stripping by municipalities and

the Credit as runoff the particles can destroy areas for fish she said Aside from commending the Regions construction practices to ensure sediment runoff into the river doesnt occur Ms Barron also urged committee members to force private industry to exer cise the same care Ms Barron urged councillors to implement a bylaw requiring any developer to revegetate a stripped piece of land along the
