    Complaint Description and Writeup

    Customer complaining of blocked creek from limbs behind his home. The limbs have blocked water flow and there are dead fish collecting at the area where the creek is blocked. He said it appears that someone has thrown dead fish into the creek.

    NMB visited the site on 9-10-24 and met with complainant and another residents of the neighborhood. They said that the recent rain had likely washed the fish remains downstream into the underground culvert. There was no odor. The creek is very small and concrete-lined and could not support the large fish that the resident took pictures of a few days earlier, so it is likely that someone dumped them in.
