JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) — State Health Department officials say a recent chemical spill on Interstate 94 near Jamestown did not hurt a nearby slough.
Water Quality Director Dennis Fewless says a test confirmed the presence of an insecticide in the water, but at a level well below that at which it would affect wildlife.
A portion of the interstate was closed for about seven hours Friday after a farm truck spilled containers of chemicals.
Health Department environmental scientist Kris Roberts says chemicals did not flow into the slough but likely got there through mist.
