Rain Averts Heavier Toll In Ouachita Fish Kill
Fresh rainwater from the Hot Springs area diluted pollutants in the Ouachita River, limiting fish kills. Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission biologist Jim Davis said 226, the Hot Springs flow, reduced concentrations so fish deaths were not as severe. A rumored Moon Lake kill near Monroe was false. Davis cited industrial pollution from Arkansas as the cause of the Ouachita deaths, totaling about 10 to 12 tons. Arkansas’ five year program to curb salt brine pollution from oil wells should finish in December.
