Practices and Impacts
- To enhance and support the fish population onsite in the Wingard Pond, the team relocated fish that were residing in a pond that had to be removed for mining operations into a larger pond. The team engineered an operation to safely catch a variety of fish and amphibian species including perch, crappie, bass, catfish and turtles and transport them to their new pond habitat.
- Since relocation, the team has observed the fish population thriving in their new pond environment.
