Worcester Lincoln LLC, which is developing the mall here on Lincoln Street, has been ordered to correct siltation and erosion problems at its mall site after the DEP found that sediment-control requirements had been violated, damaging the Coal Mine Brook. The brook is one of the last trout streams in the city.
