Empire Cat: A bright future ahead

Floating vacuum is mining sediment, not gold, from pond | News

OHN DAY — Let’s get this straight right from the start: The floating dredge that’s been operating at the Seventh Street Sports Complex is not hoovering up gold from the bottom of the pond. “There’s no gold in the pond,” said Ty Hellman of Empire Cat, the Nevada-based contractor that’s doing the dredging. “I wish there was, but there isn’t.” Most of the folks who’ve stopped to chat with Hellman and project lead Dylan Marin since they started work at the John Day park two weeks ago ask if they’re finding any gold. In fact, the floating dredge was brought in to siphon up years of accumulated sediment and decomposed organic matter from the bottom of the pond.
