Manure in Our Water?
May 9, 2007 by sa.
These pictures (see above) were taken last Sun. May 6th, 2007 off Prairie Creek in perfectly clear weather with no reported rain to cause field runoff. The pictures don’t do it justice but I think this is manure and the slick ontop of the water was approximately 100ft long. The farmer at the corner of Kittle Rd and State Route 219 in Celina at the end of Prairie Creek had spread manure earlier that day. The wind being out of the Southeast lead me to believe the farmer had gotton too close to the East bank of Prairie Creek and sprayed what seemed to be maure directly into OUR water and it drifted to this spot down wind and down stream. Being that it was a Sun and I wasn’t sure who to report it to so I took several of these shots and sent them to Rick Wilson of the OH. EPA’s PTI and Agricultural Unit, Division of Surface Water on Mon. May 8. He in turn notified the county Wild Life Officer and another representative of Mercer County Soil and Water to investigate. By that time the matter in the water had mostly disapated (but not totally unrecognisable) and the farmer mearly questioned. The EPA lead me to believe the County Reps never even looked down stream from the farm near the the site of the pictures! To me it would be common sense seeing how I took pictures of the water not the farm. I would say this is the root of a majority of water purity problems on the lake and I never thought you could get away this in today’s environmentally educated world. VERY SAD! For what its worth if you see something that looks to be pollution of some sort you can call the Sherrif right away and tell them to send the Wild Life Officer out to investigate. Now I know and so do you.
