Achieving Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) certification for its “Clayfield Lake Fish Management” project demonstrates the strong commitment of the Chattanooga (TN) plant towards environmental protection.
The project was implemented on plant-owned property located on the Tennessee River about 2.5 kilometers from the facility, with the aim of preserving the ecosystem and increasing the fish population of Clayfield Lake. 
Formerly a clay excavation site, the lake has been restocked with native species and the surrounding area cleared of invasive shrubs and planted with new trees. 
Plant employees are permitted to fish on the lake on certain days of the year, at which time data such as the length and weight of the fish species in the lake are recorded to help determine the best course of action to improve the lake habitat and the health of the fish population. 
The Wildlife Habitat Council promotes and certifies habitat conservation and management on corporate lands through partnerships and educational activities. WHC Conservation Certification programs take corporate sustainability goals and translate them into tangible, measurable actions, and build collaboration between company employees, other conservation organizations, government agencies and communities in the area. 
WHC supports educational activities for wildlife habitat conservation in 47 states in the USA and 28 countries.
