An essay is presented on the stocking of trout in the Bennett Branch Sinnemahoning Creek in in central Pennsylvania's Elk County. It offers a history of how logging and mining operations contaminated Bennett Branch and discusses a restoration project of a major tributary to the Bennett by the Bennett Branch Watershed Association and P&N Coal Company, the cleanup's cost to taxpayers, and why taxpayers must demand that gas, oil, and coal companies be environmentally responsible.
