The minor fish kill happened downstream from the state operated Fawn River Fish Hatchery.

Although silt and sediment are a This free weekend is a great occasion for families and friends to try fishing natural part of any river system, the high concentration was damaging to fish populations for a short distance downstream. The silt discolored water killing about 100 fish. No chemicals or other products were discharged in the mishap. Technicians at the facility closed water control gates and halted maintenance as soon as they noticed a problem.

The release of silt was immediately reported to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the DNR's Law Enforcement Division which is standard procedure whenever any fish kill occurs. The DNR will use information from the investigation to determine how to best restore the affected portion of the stream.
