Lake or stream clean up can involve many stages:
* Stop any fresh pollution from entering the lake or stream * Remove floating oils and debris * Remove contaminated sediments if this can be done without compromising the ecosystem. Replace with new or decontaminated materials if apropriate.
* Harvest water plants that concentrate the pollutants and dispose of them in a proper site * Monitor the water and sediments for improvements * Repopulate any species killed by the pollution
