The Morning Call
An estimated 5,000 fish were killed this week when a Franconia Township meat rendering plant accidentally discharged waste into Skippack Creek -- the latest in a string of environmental problems with the company, state regulators said.
A plugged line at Moyer Packing Co. resulted in a plume of rendering waste that stretched more than a mile downstream from the plant off Allentown Road, said Dennis Harney, a spokesman for the Department of Environmental Protection.
About 20 to 30 gallons of waste a minute escaped into the creek for nearly 10 hours before the leak was discovered and crews were able to stanch it Tuesday morning, Harney said. Sunfish, smallmouth bass and bullheads were among the fish that died.
