Stream Act Waived To Aid Murray Spill
The Idaho Department of Water Administration waived the Stream Channel Protection Act to control the Murray diesel spill. Kenneth Knoblock reported Yellowstone Pipeline ruptured near Murray spilling about 200000 gallons of diesel into Prichard Creek. Gravel dams and log booms were deployed to slow flow while scorers skimmed fuel from the surface. Prichard Creek feeds Lake Coeur d Alene and the Spokane River.
