While construction at the Deer Lake Municipal RV park continues, the mayor insists the work is adhering to all guidelines. The barrier will keep debris from the construction site out of Deer Lake and the nearby Humber River. Stirling Group, the park's developer, has lined the beach portion of the park with black silt shield, a barrier to keep construction debris out of the water. The Stirling Group denied that, saying there is "a lot of misinformation" about the project, including whether they were working near a salmon river. The municipal park and RV campground runs along sandy Deer Lake Beach.
