River Faughan silt pollution
17th June 2020
Fish Legal has formally “notified” the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) on behalf of its member the River Faughan Anglers after almost two years of sediment-pollution caused by works on the new A6 road in Northern Ireland. NIEA now needs to look into the repeat pollutions and contact the developers to prevent further pollution and put damage right.
