- Hold water during the winter to create an ecologically rich wetland.
- Provide a habitat for the endangered Western Painted Turtle (the only native pond turtle left in BC) and other native species.
- Re-introduce many native plans, which will help filter water in Tetayup Creek by removing contaminants.
- Improve water quality in Tetayut Creek, which supports salmon and trout.
