Heavy Rain Breaks Chemical Holding Dam

It's one of those little stories with potentially huge results. Heavy rain stressed a containment dam, stuff (fertilizer) spilled out into the river, the bacteria ate it happily and sucked up all the oxygen, and the fish died. This local article describes a rational response by local officials as well as precautionary efforts. It may, after the oxygen returns, point to remedial or precautionary efforts still needed.

After all, it's reassuring the Napoleon, OH, water supply has precautions and back-ups. But you'd sort of hope the fish can also survive in future.
