Cause Given For 50 000 Dead Fish
A breakdown in communications is cited as a partial cause of the Tombigbee River fish kill near McIntosh Alabama. J L Crockett of the State Water Improvement Commission said hearings showed one firm was not notified water flow would drop at the Jackson Lock and Dam. The firm continued dumping waste despite falling water levels. The commission and the U S Army Corps of Engineers will set up dual notification to prevent a repeat. Final report due in several weeks.
