On May 26th, 2016 Delfresh Mushroom Farms Type 'A' mushroom composting facility struck again. These picture shows what neighbours witnessed before they even had a chance to drink their morning coffees. The picture shows the far toxic holding pond with a hose pumping waste into the closer pond and another hose with an electric cord beside it pumping water into a mapped tributary feeding Lehman Creek, which joins Nathan (Beaver) Creek shortly thereafter.

Residents living nearby this facility again face the dangers of a blatant act of polluting their properties, wells and their children, pets and health is at risk.

A property owner to the immediate rear of this facility uses a well and are horrified to learn of what appears to be a dumping zone across the Harris Road right-of-way and onto their land. They are concerned because in August 2015 a picture was taken of a similar hose leading into their forest.

May 26th, 2016 - the hose was seen running out of the pond and down the length of the facilities property. It kept going where neighbours discovered its outfall into the tributary feed.

The outfall was rushing water, clean 'looking' but coming from the toxic ponds. Dilution? The hose itself was hidden in the dead grass. Due to trespassing laws, neighbours were not able to go further but the enforcement officer went around on-site and conducted a full investigation.
Residents in Bradner are perplexed... they have yet to be warned by any level of government or health authority, despite the Ministry of  Environment confirming that the pollution was discovered and samples had been taken by them back in October 2015!

Some people seem to think that mushroom composting rules are more like 'pirate's rules'. Sort of more like 'guidelines'!
