Description | The project involved dredging 2 million cubic yards of mercury-contaminated muck and capping 475 acres of the lake bottom with a sand mixture to reduce mercury levels in fish and make them safe for human consumption. The cleanup was completed in late 2016 by Honeywell, the company responsible for the contamination. Despite significant reductions in mercury levels in water and small fish, mercury levels in large sport fish like walleye and smallmouth bass remain high, posing ongoing health risks. |
