Wet Gravel Extraction Application By Border Paving Across from Stainbrook Springs, Head Waters of Stauffer Creek

Hi Everybody!

The first meeting organized by the ACA, Alberta Conservation Association, occurred last night at Lazy M Ranch near Stauffer, Alberta. A number of our executive of the Central Alberta Chapter of Trout Unlimited attended the session. This was an information session lead by Kevin Gardner of the ACA. Land owners, lease holders, fly fishermen and concerned citizens attended the gathering. 

This wet pit extraction will be happening right across the road from Stainbrook Springs, the headwaters of Stauffer Creek, of one of the best brown trout fisheries in Alberta.

This wet pit could potentially change the entire ecology of the underground water that feeds the springs and the entire creek system.

There is a lot at stake here. Please come to the open house scheduled for this Thursday, November 28th  from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Butte Hall that is just off of Arbutus Road. Take a look at the map below. When travelling west on Hwy 11 from Red Deer, turn left and travel south about 17 km on the Arbutus Road. You will go around the big bend in the highway. Shortly after passing by the big bend, you will see a sign for the Butte Hall. Turn left and travel east 2-3 km to Butte and you will see the left hand turn to the community hall. Please come and express your concerns.
