Canadians Remove Dam Across Prestile Stream
Canadians dismantled a nine foot earth dam on the Prestile Stream after pollution protests by Centreville villagers. The damming had backed water across the border for miles and was linked to pollution from a Maine potato plant. Officials said Wahlsing Inc. halted waste dumping and a civil action may be pursued to address the river’s condition. New Brunswick crews planned to remove thousands of dead fish along the shore.
