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.

This tributary of Bruff/Bradner and Nathan/Beaver Creek flows through Abbotsford into Langley and ends up in the Fraser River. It is a tributary of the creek that runs along the dyke at 88th Ave/River Rd just east of 264 Street.
​

Despite area residents reporting to the City of Abbotsford, the Fraser Heath Authority, the RAPP line, BC Wildlife Federation, Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), many environmental and aboriginal societies, the only result so far has been two fines totalling $1,500 on two companies - Delfresh Mushroom Farms and H.Q. Mushroom Farm. But the pollution has NOT been stopped an has NOT been cleaned up. 

Justus Mirembe, Enforcement Officer from Environment Canada indicated, "we conducted an inspection at H.Q. Mushroom Farm under section 36(3) of the Federal Fisheries Act on October 20, 2015 and again on April 12, 2016, during which water samples were collected. We are aware of the situation."

Nathan Creek is one of the 15 designated sensitive creeks in BC. It is listed by name in Schedule B of the Water Sustainability Regulation (PDF) and is a known Coho Salmon spawning creek. That is is being blatantly polluted by the same pair of companies who have been previously been fined $90,000 for the same offence, and no one is doing anything about it, is nearly as disgusting as the putrid water that is being put into the creeks. 

Welcome to the Wild West, take care of yourselves!
