Officials decided to postpone the project after some complained that the amphibians in Johnson Field, where the dirt was to be temporarily stored,would get buried under truckloads of sediment. The removal of 25,000 cubic yards of sediment from the basin behind Devil's Gate Dam in Pasadena has been put on hold until August in order to prevent the destruction of a habitat for toads.
