Rocky Mountain House RCMP lay charges after ATV rampage

A 10-month joint investigation into online videos showing the destruction of stream beds in Clearwater County has resulted in charges against one man.
Rocky Mountain House RCMP started investigating in December of 2012 after videos showing a group of ATV riders driving over sensitive public land were posted to "a major social media site," said Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (ERSD).
"We were specifically concerned with the damage that occurred at a section of Swan Creek," said Jacalyn Ambler with ESRD, adding the creek is a protected waterbody that's the spawning ground for a unique trout species.
The damage took place between May 2011 and November 2012. Ambler said the videos clearly show ATV use up and down the stream bed, which is against the law under the Public Lands Act and the Water Act.
"When there's vehicle use in the stream, not only does it destroy the shoreline but it also causes siltation which can suffocate the fish eggs and prevent them from getting oxygen," Ambler explained.
"The man who has been charged was not only in the video but he's responsible for shooting the video and also uploading it to the internet."
Ambler said more individuals from the video have yet to be identified but no further charges are being contemplated.
There is signage throughout Alberta that indicates when an off-road rider is near public land as driving through any water body or along the shoreline in Alberta is prohibited by law, said Ambler.
Andrew Holland Sharpe is facing six charges related to soil erosion, siltation and the destruction of an aquatic habitat. Three of the charges under the Public Lands Act carry fines of up to $25,000 and the remaining three charges under the Water Act carry even bigger fines of up to $50,000.

There I posted it.

Wow! up to a possible $250,000...even if they go "easy" on him it could be a pretty costly fine.

thought it was $25,000 public lands act , and water act as high as $50,000.
Anyway was wondering what had happened, was supposed to be in court nov 6-2013 in rocky.

Maybe this will increase the sales for those portable fire fighting pumps that work awesome for cleaning Rads. I'll admitt I'm guilty of bashing creeks in the past but over the years I've become aware and seen first hand the damage it causes. I now always stick to the "point A to point B" creek crossings. Fortunately there's no speed limit on that.

yes those work well, and i don't think there would be that much if any damage done. have heard of a few $500 fines handed out for the up n down the creek, just have heard nothing on how he made out. will probably be less vids hitting the internet from out west. maybe a few less licence plates being visable also. common sense goes along way.

Scary stuff indeed!!! It took them over a year to catch up with him. Kinda makes a guy wonder who else they might be planning to slap for something they did a year or two ago.

yes, was a year, guess they were looking to make an example of someone. i guess the $500 fines just are not getting the message across fast enough. i googled it, and this guy is in news articles all across canda and into the states.
