Protection of the pristine Joe Ney Watershed was of utmost importance during construction.

The Joe Ney containment dike has been upgraded and provided with a new spillway and fish ladder to permit fish passage. Water from the impoundment is pumped via a seven-million gallon per day pump station equipped with fish screening.

Flow is piped under Libby Lane to the Upper Pony Creek impoundment through an 8,800-foot, 22-inch diameter pipeline.

The nearby Joe Ney Watershed offers surface water to supplement the Upper Pony Creek impoundment.

A New Fish Ladder will pass five cubic feet per second during critical migration periods.
