Fish Kill in the River Blackwater: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Barry Fox:
Our operating procedures are very clear. We are required to find a discharge of a deleterious matter into a water course. Our officers were immediately investigating where that occurred. That is our primary objective. We do not take water quality analysis to determine what went into the water. Rather, we try to track down where the pollutant actually entered the water. That is our primary role under our statutory remit.
