Home Run Pond Drawdown and Fish Removal Draft EA
Oct 4, 2023 12:01 PM
The purpose of the proposed project is to drawdown Home Run Pond in November 2023 to minimum pool levels to ensure the existing fish assemblage (undesirable species and illegally introduced species) will not overwinter. FWP will restock the pond with rainbow trout in the pond in spring 2024 following refill using the existing well (or alternate water sources).
Removal of undesirable and illegally introduced species should improve survival and growth of hatchery stocked rainbow trout. Additionally, improved water quality, removal of undesirable species and the slight increase in water depth (removal of trash and sediment) will enhance fish survival overwinter.
