 Jimmy Alexander, WTOP News. Turtles in a city of Fairfax pond will soon be safely relocated. WTOP's Neil Logenstein says it comes as a big construction project will be getting underway. Ashby Pond, just off Main Street, is about to be dredged and modernized. It'll take months. One of the first things that will need to be done is drain down the pond so that the accumulated sediment can start to be removed.
