Onsite Comments

FO3 received a report of dead fish today in Hardin Creek, south of Farnhamville. FO3 staff investigated several miles of stream and consulted with fisheries staff. Our best guess is that the kill was natural (not a chemical or manure spill). The kill was at least several days old. The water level is very low, and there were no indications of contamination. Live fish were observed a couple miles downstream.
