the City of Lawton Is off the hook

The City of Lawton said it’s not responsible for a July fishkill in East Cache Creek, and environmental officials now agree. The DEQ found nearly 30 dead fish in the creek around the same time the plant was discharging water with potentially toxic ammonia levels. Now, the City of Lawton says it’s off the hook and DEQ’s findings identified other factors caused the fishkill, including heavy rainfall, high temperatures and sewer discharge from a nearby prison.
