From a second stakeholder living on Richland Creek "I've noticed a lot of dead fish and dead crawdads in the creek in the past couple of days"--Monette Rebecca has more details at the RCWA site.
From a stakeholder near Charlotte Park (downstream from the greenway) said, "For your information, we have noticed what appeared from a distance to be an oil film on top of the water between Urbandale Bridge and I-40 Bridge about two weeks or more ago."
From a professor and creek enthusiast we got the downstream photo 1 and a comment~ "The duck week is indicative of nutrients loading the stream. That could be leaky sewers, lawn fertilizers sediments or some other source."
