DNR investigating wastewater release into Clintonville creek

The Department of Natural Resources is investigating a release of wastewater from a dairy farm located along Reinke Road near the city of Clintonville.

DNR officials have not confirmed the exact amount or how long the release occurred, but report that the wastewater flowed into Honey Creek, a local tributary that discharges to the Pigeon River.

The agency has confirmed that the discharge from the farm has stopped, though wastewater already released is still impacting Honey Creek.

The DNR is working with local officials to investigate the incident and inform local residents of the release. 

The farm, which does have a DNR wastewater discharge permit, is taking actions to collect released wastewater.
