PCBs Remain after Cleanup of Lewiston, Montana Trout Hatchery


March 4, 2007
(via greatfallstribune.com)

The fish at Montana's largest trout hatchery in Lewiston, Montana, are finally clean, after a nearly $1 million cleanup. However, their excrement is still contaminated with PCBs, said the Great Falls Tribune.

Reportedly, the toxins came from paint used 30 to 40 years earlier on the raceways--long concrete troughs where the fish are reared.

The Tribune said the Environmental Protection Agency is expected to require the residual contamination be removed as part of the general creek cleanup.
