This report investigates the significant drop in pH levels in the water, recorded at just 4.3—equivalent to that of Root Beer—during a recent fish kill event. The alarming acidity level poses severe risks to aquatic life, making the survival of fish nearly impossible. We point to the mining company responsible for introducing harmful metals and chemicals into the water, which contributed to this ecological disaster. Sanitation workers, engaged in addressing the situation, also played a role, highlighting systemic issues relating to pH maintenance and environmental safety.

Quote by NTJ As you can see from the graphs, the pH level of the water dropped drastically to a level of 4.3 which is roughly the pH level of Root Beer. So to imagine fish swimming through Root Beer is almost unthinkable but it became a near reality in levels of acidity during the week of the fish kill.
We think the people responsible are... Mining Company • the metals in the water contribute to the low pH levels • they used a chemical that went into the water and stunned the fish, and killed them. Sanitation Workers Why? • Low pH level • if the pH level was at its normal level did their job , there would be no fishkill.
