Important Quotes: “The suit seeks a total of $340,000 in fines, the permanent cessation of illegal discharges into Ohio waters and
abatement of air pollution nuisance”
“The suit charges the defendants with discharging industrial wastes, including the pesticides endrin,
dieldrin and heptachlor, into the Great Miami River without obtaining a permit… It also charges the defendants were responsible for three separate fish kills which resulted in the destruction of 1,086,926 fish and other aquatic animals.”
“Fishermen are cautioned that the long-range effect of the pollutants is not known and will not be known for some time… Parents should urge their children not to wade, play, or swim in the Great Miami River as a precaution.”
