was Re: Water firm admits polluting Llyn Padarn lake
<BUMP>
This has just been covered on Page 3 of this months (April 2012) Trout & Salmon magazine.
EA FINALLY ADMITS THAT LLYN PADARN IS POLLUTED BY SEWAGE
It seems that Fish Legal are the ones who were actively persuing this on bahalf of Seiont, Gwyrfai and Lynfni Anglers Society (SGLAS). The EA completely ignored it and turned a blind eye to it allowing Welsh Water to continue polluting Llyn Padarn until they finally had to admit that it has been seriously polluted and was not a natural phenomenon as they previously had stated. This was only after Fish Legal obtained records of phosphate levels in effluent in July 2009.
For
TWENTY years the EA and it's predecessors did
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING whatsoever about the pollution of Llyn Padarn. Instead they allowed Welsh Water to continue polluting and covered it up.
Exert:
"The EA has been tardy in its responses, shamefully persisting in describing the bloom as "natural" until it was driven to acknowledge the problem"
Unfortunately thanks to the thoroughly incompetent and corrupt EA in colusion with Welsh Water and the judiciary, allowing this to occur and continue over the last few decades, it seems that the unique population of Arctic Charr (Salvelinus Perisii) in this lake are now doomed to extinction and it may already be too late to save them.
That EA License continues to seem fair and great value now doesn't it!
IMHO the EA are corrupt and only harm fishing in this country. Government meddling with anything beyond the realms of what it should be involved in is a very bad thing and to our severe detriment.
I believe we should kick the government (big brother) out of our fishing! They are thoroughly corrupt and can not be trusted. This is of course my opinion and I know there will be others who disagree especially those working for the EA, government, and with vested interests. It seems that another group of fishermen from SGLAS in Wales will now disagree with you too though.
