Date: Jan. 14, 2007  FISH KILL HITS SECRET WOODS
At least ten dead fish have been spotted and/or retrieved from the pond in the 7000 block of Secret Woods Drive. Secret Woods Board President Wayne Williams said the fish kill is the apparent result of pool repair materials being allowed to drain down the street into the pond. The pool is currently undergoing repairs (see the January minutes for more details). At least three different varieties of dead fish have been retrieved, including catfish and carp. The pond has served as a home to a variety of life including minnows, ducks, other birds, turtles and frogs.
Williams said the board has already contacted the neighborhood's lake doctors to assess the damage and treat the pond to once again support life. The pond will likely be restocked. The pool contractor is also being informed of the fish kill. It was unclear as this was written whether any fines or liability might result from the fish kill. The kill serves as an important reminder to residents that anything discarded in a driveway or street is likely to eventually make its way into one of the neighborhood's ponds as part of rain runoff and perhaps even into Pottsburg Creek. Cigarette butts, bottles and other careless littering have been constant sources of pollution. It is also important to keep our ponds and Pottsburg Creek in mind when using fertilizers. Residents should also be sure to promptly clean driveway spills involving oil, anti-freeze or other toxins that could damage the neighborhood's ecosystem.   Luminaries and lightsPerfect weather greeted the Secret Woods Annual Luminaria on December 23. Many neighbors and families strolled our streets to see the holiday displays and lights.
