Silt run-off from the Baha Mar construction site has seeped into a fresh water pond near Ruby Avenue.
Heavy rain last week Thursday forced sediment through silt tents that construction workers had put in place to mitigate against contamination of the wet land, said Robert Sands, senior vice-president of governmental and external affairs at Baha Mar.
Mr Sands said the company was alerted about the incident by Cable Beach area residents and quickly took steps to rectify the problem and workers have put berms in place to divert run off away from the wetland.
However, when The Tribune visited the site yesterday, a thin film of suspected sediment was visible on turtles swimming in the pond and it appeared as if some run-off was still making its way into the area despite company preventative measures.
