DNR Estimates More Than 5,000 Fish Killed Near Rockwell City

Iowa Department of Natural Resources — 8/21/2006

ROCKWELL CITY - Investigation of a fish kill near Rockwell City has determined that at least 5,000 fish were killed along a four mile stretch of stream that included Lake Creek and one of its tributaries.

Most of the fish were smaller species such as minnows, shiners and chubs although a larger catfish and carp were also found.

The kill is believed to have been caused by manure running from a hog operation owned by Loren Wuebker of Rockwell City following a rain.

The investigation is continuing and could result in enforcement action being taken and restitution for the fish.
