Notch Hill British Columbia - A Notch Hill resident says he's concerned that stacks of creosote treated rail ties along the CP line near his property are leaching into the community's water supply.
 
Paul Poirier says CP has stockpiled creosote soaked ties along the line near his property for years.
 
Some ties have been left lying in drainage ditches near his farm.
 
Ditches in the area eventually drain into Newsome Creek, which runs into Shuswap Lake.
 
Poirier says there is potential that material from the creosote soaked rail ties is finding its way to the intake for the community of Sorrento.
