Golfers
warned of
manure
spill at
Seafor
course
Susan Hundertmark
Golfers at Seaforth Golf
Club were being asked to be
careful of a manure spill
that had made its way last
week into the creek by the
fifth and fourth holes.
The spill into the
Archibald. Drain was
reported to the Ministry of
the Environment (MOE) last
Monday, July 24 and clean-
up of the spill began the
following Thursday evening.
"The spill was completely
contained.. None of it made
its way into Silver Creek,"
said Annabelle Mackey,
MOE regional community
advisor for the southwest
region.
She added there was no
environmental impact to
fish or wildlife from the
spill.
Mackey said the source of
the spill was a nearby hog
and cattle operation but said
the farm cannot be
identified while the MOE's
investigations branch is still
looking into the matter.
"Why it happened will be
part of the investigation; If
charges are laid, it will
become public," she said,
Pam Scharfe, of the Huron
County Health Unit, said
the health unit got involved
because of concerns that a
golfer retrieving a ball in the
creek, even with a ball
retriever, might get . sick
from the manure.
