smerchly Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 As summer begins it seems some of our waters are contaminated . This article is interesting as it involves our fishing areas . The 20 mile creek (Balls Falls) is one of the worst polluted as it gets run off chems from farms and sewage . Polluted waterways end up in Lake Ontario from roads , ditches and streams. I was surprised to see the lower upper and lower 12 Mile system in good condition due to the flow from Lake Erie and the ground water from the upper 12 . We got rid of most of our industry years ago but we can't do much about the tons of road salt and farm runoff . https://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/news/niagara-region/water-quality-in-majority-of-niagaras-rivers-and-streams-poor-or-marginal-testing-reveals/article_22822526-9cd7-56ab-94a8-cf52ca925b54.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
