Milky Substance Enters Byrne Creek

A milky, light bluish substance with soapy suds passed through Byrne Creek today.

My wife and I noticed it in pools in the ravine mid-afternoon, however when we went down to check again around 6:00 p.m., it had cleared out of the creek.

Fortunately we spotted fry, small cutthroat trout and a coho smolt, so it couldn't have been overly toxic. Another mystery spill or runoff.
