Investigation Comment:
On October 28, 2014 I arrived at Georgia Pacific, LLC in Crossett, AR approximately at 10:22. I was escorted to the location of the fish kill by Rachel Johnson, G-P Environmental Engineer. Ms. Johnson explained that Lily Pond is used only for process water, is not a public or private fishing pond, and the basin stores treated water for mill process use only and is not potable water (see Photos 1 and 2; Figure 1). Ms. Johnson then escorted me to Cemetery Pond (see Figure 2) which accepts any overflow from Lily Pond and is used as a process water basin as well as firewater. Ms. Johnson then identified a location on G-P property where dead fish were dumped. This location does not drain to stormwater outfalls and any runoff will be processed by the WWTP.

Description Comment:
On Tuesday, October 21 Casey Cox, Fisheries Biologist with AGFC, left a message at the ADEQ El Dorado Field Office about a possible fish kill. On October 22, I left a voice message for Casey Cox and on October 23 I received the information from Mr. Cox of a fish kill at Georgia Pacific, LLC in Crossett, AR. Mr. Cox forwarded an e-mail (attached) he received from Sarah Ross, G-P Environmental Team Leader, stating that a fish kill had occurred in Lily Pond as the result of tank cleaning and maintenance. I planned to visit the pond on Tuesday, October 28.
