Strandley Manning - Fish Reintroduction

Early evaluations of sediment chemistry, vegetation coverage, stream flow, structural stability, water-quality parameters, and invertebrate and fish populations have indicated that the restored stream habitat can now support fish. As a result, fish removed before cleanup in 1995 were retrieved from their temporary holding pond for reintroduction at the Strandley-Manning site.
