You can always take the samples of the water yourself and take it to someone. There are private entities that support environmental efforts that can look into it and they have a LOT more pull with the bureaucrats than a single person does. If you do take samples, make sure you document it all, time, date and place.

I've ran into similar issues with questionable water quality when I go on similar fishing excursions in Mn & Wi. The Minnesota river in particular is bad and there are a lot of old businesses/plants that dump dirty water into the river and in one stretch not far from Minneapolis you can drive through it in a boat and the prop churns up a lot of foam that smells just like laundry detergent and the smell gets so bad that it's hard to stay and fish the area. When contacting the EPA and similar state agency I find that these old businesses were grandfathered-in at some point and can keep doing it until they shut down or do enough building or remodeling that it is considered a new business and new permits have to be issued. The place I mentioned, I first noticed about 20 years ago and it is still the same disgusting soapy water. But despite the pollution, that stretch somehow produces trophy walleyes, smallmouth, and catfish on a regular basis. Also you can search through the EPA's and your states environmental agency websites to find databases with this info, usually also with precise coordinates of the pipes dumping in. He might be able to do the same for this stream to find out what and why.

Last summer we had a sewage spill into our SD River which flows into an estuary before reaching a popular beach. I called it in and the person transferred me and the following respondent wanted to transfer me as well. I carefully explained that this is why the general public is distrustful and frustrated with our government. She eventually took down all the information to forward to the proper department. She actually wanted me to go track down WHERE the sewage leak was coming from. I contacted the local volunteers group (SDRP) that had a cleanup planned the next day, a Saturday, and they called the right people AND even gave a follow up phone call and email. The sewage spill was 2 miles away up on the hill overlooking the river. The spill killed all the fish in about 1.5m. The following week it rained and carried the contaminated water further down stream and killed off the remaining freashwater fish. It has been almost a yr now and the freshwater species have yet to return; it is just hundreds of turtles and crayfish.

If you wouldn't mind Nick....could you keep us updated on the water quality? ,,,if you hear anything back. I know I'm probably not the only one who's just as concerned as you are about what's going on in that creek. Thanks....

I mostly watch flyfishing videos but love your videos, too. Your enthusiasm, high relative fraction of video focused on fishing, and overall quality are excellent.

I'm glad you were still able to end it off with a nice spot. Awesome video

If the treatment facility uses chlorine for disinfection, its likely overdosing of chlorine could have killed the fish. Particularly since that is a slow moving creek. The milky looking turbidity also indicates something is not normal. There are many other reasons for poor water quality as well.
