Fish killed LISTOWEL - "Thousands and thousands" of small fish were killed after a Mor- nington Township farmer dumped 25,000 gallons of pig manure into the Nith River near Hesson on May 5. Ministry of environment officials in London, who are investigating the incident, would not release the far- mer's name pending further investigition. Officials used a liquid diffuser for the first time in North America in an effort to save the fish, but were un- successful, according to Stewart Thornley, a regional biologist with the ministry. Re said the manure was a five to 10 -mile "concentrated sludge" running • from Hessen where the farmer pumped the manure, for his holding lagoon, down to Milbank. Estimates of fish killed have ranged as high as 50,000 and included white suckers, rock bass and stream minnows. "You could see crayfish • crawling ia m the water on to the shore and dying right there," he said. "Fish were jumping and leaping out of wsteratialiVeannt-bsecure- cur eyes." •
