In their Oct 2022 Report Page 11 obtained via FOI from the Township of Langley Envirowest themselves admit:
“Since its construction beaver activity has raised the water levels in the West Pond (Photograph 1) resulting in inundation of adjacent areas that have developed as wetland habitats. All of the constructed drainage features drain through the West Pond. West of 272 Street coho salmon have been observed upstream as far as Highway 1. All of the stream features in the Golf Curse Lands west of 272 Street are considered accessible to (if not also inhabited by) salmonids. Other fish species captured during instream works west of 272 Street include cutthroat trout, threespine stickleback, fathead minnow, brown bullhead, black crappie and largemouth bass.”
