Manure Spill Affects Creeks Feeding Sheboygan River

Eleven miles of creeks and streams in Fond du Lac County have been affected by a large manure spill.  The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says those waterways feed into the Sheboygan River.  Redtail Ridge Dairy had applied manure to several of its fields when a heavy rainfall washed it off the fields and into nearby streams.  D-N-R investigators say that resulted in a fish kill, with smallmouth bass and northern pike found along the Sheboygan River.  People are being warned to avoid the water and the threat of E. coli bacteria.
