Director reports manure spill that caused fish kill in Danuser Creek; DNR involved

Land Management Director Cale Severson reported to the committee about a manure spill that he said "affected a large portion of Danuser Creek with a fish kill" and described his involvement with the Department of Natural Resources on the incident. The minutes record the spill and fish kill but do not include technical details, estimated area affected, or specific remediation steps taken at the meeting.

Committee members heard the report as part of the director's update; no motions, sanctions or funding authorizations were recorded in the minutes. The county's engagement with the DNR was noted, suggesting the matter is under agency investigation or follow-up outside the committee's formal action at this session.
