Fish kill cause still unknown in Bennington area
State Water Resources Commissioner Martin L. Johnson says he will seek legal action under Vermont's water pollution act against Catamount Dyers for failing to obtain a pollution permit by July 1, while Union Carbide met the deadline. Initial water tests are inconclusive and the investigation centers on two plants near the Walloomsac River. Thousands of dead fish prompted officials to consider direct poisoning or deoxygenation as the cause.
