Dartmouth Crossing Silt Run-off
Environmentalists and residents became concerned in 2005 when it was discovered that large amounts of silt was flowing off the Dartmouth Crossing mall project construction site and into the canal. After heavy hurricane season rains run-off from the construction overflowed containment ponds on and began running into the canal, Lake Charles, Lake Micmac and Shubie Park’s Grassy Brook.
Dartmouth Crossing is located on Highway 118 across from Shubie Park. Measures were taken to mitigate the silt run-off and construction continues on the mall project.
