The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a stream advisory for an unnamed tributary East of Mill Creek located South of 95th Street and Renner Blvd near I-435 in Lenexa, Kansas. The stream advisory is a result of a spill of unknown material. KDHE, EPA, Johnson County and the City of Lenexa are jointly investigating the cause of the spill.

The advisory has been issued because potential elevated contaminants may be present in the unnamed tributary East of Mill Creek. If you live or have activities near this stream, do not enter the stream or allow children or pets to enter the stream.

KDHE will rescind the advisory once testing indicates secondary (wading) contact has been deemed safe.
