I observed two fish kills in French Creek downstream of the French Creek wastewater treatment plant in Sheffield Village. It doesn't take a genius to determine that the dead fish are downstream from the outlet of the water treatment plant and that the plant is the culprit. The dead fish included trout, bass, suckers, small minnows as well as crayfish and clams. I have notified the proper authorities after each occurrence.
Investigators survey the kill and nothing happens.
If a private individual caused the problem, a punishment would be invoked, but a government agency doing the same thing is overlooked. The officers are listed in the hunting and fishing digests. Your local county sheriff's department should also have the phone number. The officer assigned to your county does investigations and could respond quickly to your report, according to John Wisse, public information specialist with the Division of Wildlife. If you can't reach the officer, call the Division of Wildlife district office nearest you to report the fish kill.
