 Just after the last article was published on Delfresh Mushroom Farms' pollution issues, a sign was posted at the front gate of it's facility on 58 Avenue. Abbotsford Bylaws and Building permit officers also attended the property.
 Source - The Bradner Barker 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.  Image Source - The Bradner Barker Warning! Residents of Bradner issue major safety concern for Nathan Creek, as known by local Bradner residents as Beaver Creek, after life-threatening amounts of Fecal Coliform and Ecoli was discovered coming out of a culvert straight into a tributary that flows directly into Bradner (Bruff) Creek just before it joins Nathan (Beaver) Creek at the 58th and 56th Ave intersection. Anyone accessing this water, have children, pets or animals should be aware this high-level of pollution can cause numerous health issues, including death.
 Members of the community had water tests done on April 25th, 2016 after two very polluted tributaries were discovered by residents in Bradner on April 20th. Samples were taken from one of the two polluted tributaries just south of 58th Ave. Delfresh Mushroom Farms and H.Q. Mushroom Farm has been fined for the pollution. The test results are absolutely disgusting... and off the charts - and NONE of us in Bradner have been warned.
 Image submitted, Photo taken April 21st, 2016 Two tributaries in Bradner have been found with serious pollution in recent weeks. Both lead to Bruff (Bradner) Creek and Beaver (Nathan) Creek, which are salmon bearing creeks... children play in them and wildlife drinks from them. There is a good chance that polluted water may be running through your property... These tributaries are so bad that when discovering them your eyes will water, your nose and throat will sting... for days and you will gag, you'll only dry heave if you're lucky.
 Image - Submitted A brand new industrial Mushroom composting business named Avina Fresh Produce Ltd. and H.Q. Mushroom Farm Ltd. located at 28310 – 58th Ave in west Bradner is emitting a foul odour. Neighbouring residents say that if they leave windows open in the night, toxic fumes and unpleasant odours waft in. Because of of Bradner's unique location, wind-less nights draw in a Pacific Ocean fed 'marine layer' that forms over the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) area, and traps concentrations of any toxins or off-gasses beneath this layer at ground level.
