Stream Advisory Rescinded for an Unnamed Tributary West of Bear Creek and Bear Creek
Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a stream advisory for an Unnamed Tributary West of Bear Creek and Bear Creek located West of Peru, Kansas. The advisory was issued on June 14, 2024.
The stream advisory was a result of stormwater runoff from a sulfur stockpile entering the unnamed tributary and lowering pH levels significantly as well as liberating a variety of metals at high concentrations.
Additional testing determined that stream conditions have returned to normal.
KDHE has deemed the stream safe for secondary (wading) contact and livestock use.
