SAMPLE EMAIL:
The Nashwaak is a treasured pristine watercourse. In 2003, The Nashwaak Watershed Association submitted a proposal to classify sections of the Nashwaak Stream that would have provided the Nashwaak with protections of its high quality (Class A) water under the province's Clean Water Act. Government inaction in finalizing the regulatory process on Clean Water is infringing on the right of residents of the watershed to protect the quality of their water against detrimental development. The classification regulation of the Clean Water Act requires any industry to formally consult the Nashwaak public for permission to lower the quality of any portion of the stream before proceeding. I do therefore respectfully request:

I do therefore respectfully request:
- that the NB government do all necessary data collection and analysis to finalize the classification of the Nashwaak stream as requested by the Nashwaak Watershed Association in 2003 (see the attached map).
- that the NB government enforce the Regulations of the Clean
Water Act by requiring any company or
individual seeking an exemption to
the requirements of the current classification, or seeking to lower the
classification of the Nashwaak Stream, to formally solicit public
approval through plebiscite
(public vote) within the watershed.
