jpinkster Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 First off...I have a lot of respect for John Barlow. He has been a strong ally for the conservation community in southern Alberta, and he certainly knows his way around many of this issues.With that being said, I can't support his opposition of the Springbank flood-control reservoir if he is advocating for the McLean Creek dry dam as an alternative.Springbank is bad, but McLean is worse. The impact on critical habitat for bulls, cuttys (McLean Creek is one of the last streams in the entire area that has 95% pure cuttys) and grizzly bears would be significant. If we have to choose one or the other, I pick the Springbank project. http://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/tory-mp-wants-federal-scrutiny-of-planned-springbank-flood-control-reservoir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
