EAGLE GROVE – Field staff from the DNR’s Mason City office investigated complaints of green water in a waterway about four miles south of Eagle Grove in Wright County on Wednesday.
Staff found a green color and elevated ammonia levels in a drainage ditch, but no dead fish. They traced the colored water upstream to a tile outlet and returned to the area Thursday to find the source of the polluted water.
The colored water extended about two miles downstream to the Boone River. DNR staff took water samples in the ditch and river to be tested in a laboratory, but field tests showed ammonia levels did not appear elevated in the river.
DNR will continue to investigate to find the source of the problem.
NO chemicals ? Fish and frogs with 2 heads and non reproductive.
Okay liberal we will say it again so that brainwashed mass between your floppy ears will understand – roundup is sprayed on American crops by farmers – pigs are raised by farmers for corporations/foreign or domestic – both by products contain substances that are poisionous to human beings – MSM and federal agencies look the other way or deny or lie about it. Grow up! It’s the normal like terrorist attacks OR so they would have you believe and become a subject/lemmon/ and not able to think for yourself such as democrats and antifia.
hahahah–lol–Thanks for the laughs!!
Yeah but did that hurt the fricken river? It might of but back then the hogs were all natural not like the hogs today full of steroids,
Barney fife, you still as dumb as you were fifty years ago on mayberry. the only thing full of steroids is your pea sized brain
Nothing to what will be in that river after the chinese pork slaughter house opens there. Old decker packing plant drained into the winnebago just above the 12th st. bridge north of the water works.
