Just released: GA Environmental Protection Division report cites the City of Atlanta responsible for the South River Fish Kill event in June.

A chemical spill at the city's South River Water Reclamation Center (SRWRC) polluted the river and tributaries with ferric chloride. This goes directly against the city's July 2nd Press Release (image #2) claiming the "Chemical Spill Did Not Cause" the fish kill, and stating that the Dept. of Watershed Management determined that "the fish kill was not related to the incident at the South River Water Reclamation Center". NOTE: The extent of pollution and fish kill was in DeKalb County – both in City of Atlanta and unincorporated DeKalb, District 3. EPD's full report here and linked in bio: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qV3aNLVhbNWd7FBuJswNd6FH-8uMrv3T/view?usp=sharing From the report: "...water quality data from the United States Geological Survey gauge located on the South River at Forrest Park Rd...indicated a prolonged discharge event rather than a short-duration pulse. These water quality changes are consistent with the release of a strong acidic solution." From June 27-28th, over 1,250 fish were found dead along approx. 2.5 miles of the river. @arabiamountain_nha @cityofatlantaga City of Atlanta Government @dekalbcitizenscoalition #district3dekalb @southdekalbcoalition @southdekalbcoalition @tedterry1 Ted Terry Ted Terry @keyannafordekalb @commissionernicolemassiah @councilmanlewis @votejasondozier @jasonsdozier @wabeatl WABE News @wabenews @decaturish Decaturish.com @fox5atlanta FOX 5 Atlanta @capitalb_atl @capitalbnews @stopfloodingus @stopfloodingusatl @dekalbwaterwatch The Atlanta Journal-Constitution @drewkannreports @robdirienzo @saportareport SaportaReport @saportareporta @wawa_online @thewatershedtea West Atlanta Watershed Alliance @Atlanta Department of Watershed Management @atlantawatershed @porchpressatl #fishkill #southriver #atlantapollution #atlantachemicalspill #GAEPD Georgia Adopt-A-Stream @canopyatlanta @gariversalive @americanrivers @patagoniaatl @aractionfund American Rivers @nature_ga @councilmanlewis @andreforatlanta @lilianabakhtiari Councilmember Jason Winston @atldistrict1
