Dunkard Creek Fish Kill

I don't really have much to add about the Dunkard Creek fish kill, other than to refer you to the WV Department of Environmental Protection website and this article by Ken Ward of the Charleston Gazette. I do know that the DEP has been putting a lot of resources into investigating the cause, and I doubt the Consol mine discharge was the only contributor, given the fact that the algae bloom that appears to have caused the problem probably began farther upstream.
