The spill was discovered over the weekend when fish started dieing in Claude Beaver's pond. Workers have now spent two days cleaning up the dead fish and Ed Norfleet who owns an environmental business on whose property the chemical was dumped is cleaning up the lake. Norfleet says he doesn't think the chemical came from an open tanker truck on his property and he's testing the residue to see just what it is.

J.R.Campbell with the EPD says their investigators have now opened a criminal investigation and says "We will find out who did it."

Beavers tells Ch. Two Action News that Norfleet has promised to restock his lake once the cleanup is completed. Norfleet, meanwhile says he has been leaving the gate to his property open and anyone could have come in an dumped the material. He's now going to start closing and locking the gate.

State investigators say the good news is the chemical was contained by the pond and did not flow into a stream that feeds the chattahoochee river.
