continued from p.1 To remove the sediment with construction equipment, Kelly said, the developer first has to reduce the water level of the pond, but must leave enough water to accommodate any fish. "The plan here is for them to always maintain a wet area where the fish can survive," said Kelly. "So, there is a consideration given to the fish. There is actually a consideration given to all wildlife. You could clean out the pond in April, May, or June, but that is not the best time because robins, skunks, ducks are having their young. Everybody is kind of small and not too mobile. By the time you get to July, August, September and October, everyone has had their babies and most babies are mobile and can move. So, we try to encour- Accommodation must be made for wildlife age developers to do this during the July-October timeframe because that's better." Kelly said Metrontario does have a biologist on its team to ensure the project is executed in as environmentally sound a manner as possible. As the pond is artificial and not connected to any other waterways, Kelly said, the fish in the pond are not native species. "Typically, most of the fish in storm water ponds are from people's aquariums," he said. "People decide they don't want to look after a fish anymore and they relocate them to the pond. So, we are not talking salmon or trout. We're talking about koi, like you'll see in the Toronto Zoo. More invasive species than anything else." The work at the pond is expected to last two to three weeks, depending on rainfall. 3 | Friday, August 1, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com inside today's Editorial Sports Beaver www.insideHALTON.com A heron still remained as a stormwater management pond in north central Oakville is dredged. | photo by Eric Riehl ­ Oakville Beaver (Follow on Twitter @halton_photog or facebook.com/HaltonPhotog) Lobo 6 18 Artscene Classified 15 23 *All flyers not necessarily delivered to all homes For home delivery & customer service call 905-631-6095, 5300 Harvester Rd., Burlington New subscriptions call 905-631-6095 or subscribe online @ www.oakvillebeaver.com Work must stop when new water enters the pond so it also can be pumped out. Azevedo said recent rain has improved the situation of the fish in the pond, which are currently contained to a section that still has water. "I'm happy about that," he said. When the project is complete, Kelly expects a few rainfalls will return the water level of the pond to normal. Cleaning of the storm management ponds is a fairly regular occurrence in Oakville with the Town carrying out about one such project per year. A different developer cleaned a storm management pond in the Dundas Street and Neyagawa Boulevard area only a few weeks ago. DENTISTRY FOR CHILDREN means...
