Greening Our Operations: Clinton Power Station’s Right of Way Restoration/Pollination Projects involved the planting of native grasses in the 65-acre grassland area below the Ameren transmission lines as a habitat for pollinators native to Illinois. This was a joint project with Ameren, Pheasants Forever of DeWitt County & Exelon Clinton Power Station personnel. Additionally, 2 acres of public area in front of the Mascoutin State Park Office have been planted with a high yield pollinator mix seed. This is all part of a 5-year station pollinator plan.
Clinton Lake Management and Fish Stocking Program: Clinton Power Station invests annually to restock Clinton Lake with Hybrid Striped bass, Walleye, Blue Catfish and crappie. The station maintains a working relationship with Illinois Department of Natural Resources to rear fish in a pond near the lake for release into Clinton Lake. The partnership ensures the lake has a healthy fish population and thriving ecosystem.
Gold Certification for Wildlife Habitat Council: The National Wildlife Habitat Council awarded Clinton Power Station the Gold Level Certification.
