Contamination due to wind farm construction?

Published by SAS Volunteer on

It looks like the construction of Sanquhar ll WF may have caused construction debris to flow into the Craig burn probably via the Wheel burn. Causing the water to run down to the Afton and ultimately the Nith.
During a heavy rainfall this wee burn runs clear with the gravel bed visible. If this continues we can say goodbye to this salmon spawning ground.
Reported to East Ayrshire council, SEPA and various other authorities by one of our members who discovered the contamination.
