July 27, 2010 – Authorities are investigating an accidental discharge of manure at a North Dakota State University dairy barn that may have caused a fish kill in a nearby drainage ditch.
Greg Lardy, NDSU’s head of animal sciences, said a pump malfunctioned at the facility on 19th Avenue North between 3 a.m. Saturday and 6:30 p.m. Sunday, causing cow manure to enter a drainage area.
The drainage area meets with Ditch 10, which runs along the west side of Hector International Airport and drains into the Red River north of Fargo.
