I'm sure there is a lot of finger pointing that can be done here, but I wonder why the mill does not have to monitor their discharge in the first place? Why do they have to wait until a reporter comes knocking on their door days later and says hey there are millions of dead fish in the river wtf's going on?
I don't think it should be a surprise to anyone that this isn't mineral springs water, so if they are going to dump a "regulated amount" of it into a natural water system they should be responsible for checking for themselves that they are not violating the regulations. Sometimes I don't agree with just going around slapping out huge fines but this could be a good example of how a huge fine could change the practices of this and hopefully other mills so that they closely monitor their discharges.

my question is, if the chemical kills by sucking the air out of the water, why are turtles dying which don't have gills...
