Evidence of siltation 16kms from Logan Reservoir

Since the association found out about the pollution, we have been out checking the river from the source of the incident. We have checked 16 kilometers so far and are still finding silt deposits in every slow glide or pool. So much for Scottish Water's press statement about only fish in reservoir and 1.5 kms of river being affected. One would think that the big companies would be sure of their facts before opening their big fat lying mouths. S.E.P.A. are as bad in this case as they claim that operatives were out in the field and found no siltation below the Dunside feed. These are supposed to be trained personnel yet our trained and untrained team found silt 16kms from source of the incident having tracked it all the way from the Logan Reservoir. They managed to spot it wearing polarised sun glasses cost £10.00p, we would ask that S.E.P.A. issue their field staff with such glasses and go back and have a proper look. Or perhaps it is imaginary silt we are finding throughout the course of the river. It is also strange that none of the feeder burns are silted, so where could it have come from??? The answer is simple it came from the Logan end of story. Take a look at the film and make your own minds up as Scottish Water's spin doctor will probably come up with another fairy tale.
