Dr. Jenny Deakin:

The issues tend to happen in the forestry areas when there is some forestry activity. That can be when the forest is being planted, thinned or when it is being clearfelled. In between those periods when the forest is stable, we tend to see water quality being good. When we see those events and forestry activities happening, we get a decline. There is a definite correlation between activity, and activity is spread out throughout the coupes in any catchment at any one time. The forest service and the regulations it operates under has measures to prevent those impacts occurring, when those are in place and they are operating properly. There are challenges we must acknowledge with the legacy sites-----
