Default POISONED RIVER!!!!!

Ohhhhhh boy!

I just walked in the door to a talking head on the tube saying the words "Scientists are conducting further tests to determine the levels of contamination" .

They are referring of course to the toxic herbicide spill at 15 mile creek a week ago. freshwater clams found near the creek are contaminated and the media is raising questions about contamination in salmon netted near the creek today by tribal fishers. Stayed tuned as they explain to us how the main vein in these parts has been POISONED!

If any one can shed any light on this subject, lets go. We need to know more about

1)What was dumped into 15 mile creek.
2)How much?
3)How long does this agent persist? Does sun and water break it down?
4) What is the distribution of the spill?
5) Should people be buying and eating salmon netted in that area?

And other burning questions.

The bend is your friend!
