I don't really have much to add about the Dunkard Creek fish kill, other than to refer you to the WV D
epartment 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.
