I am very concerned because someone has dug a large hole and installed a pump upstream of my testing site on Myrtle Creek. I question if this is legal? Perhaps it is no coincidence that I have had no water to test for a very long time?
This person has also been chainsawing fallen trees and taking the wood from the Myrtle Creek Reserve.
There is evidence a horse has been grazing in this area also, there is horse tape erected and heavily grazed ground. See photos attached.
I would like to see someone in authority investigate this, it seems very wrong.
