Not that I disagree with this regulation but I find it interesting that ditch cleaning with machinery goes on in these same ditches. Where is FOC then to enforce this regulation? I realize that ditches need to be cleaned for the drainage of farm land in the Fraser Valley but once again it is at the expense of our environment.

I have examined these piles of mud in dump sites and have found these same ditch eels, frogs, salamanders, fresh water clams, etc. Also one ditch that was dug has a late Fall run of coho in it also so I am sure fish are destroyed in this process as well.
