[ARCHIVED] Stream Advisory Rescinded for the South Fork of the Nemaha River located North of Seneca, Kansas

Stream Advisory Rescinded

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a stream advisory that was issued July 13, 2023 for the South Fork of the Nemaha River located North of Seneca, Kansas. 

The stream advisory was a result of water contamination from a confined animal feeding facility. There was a fish kill associated with the contamination.  

The advisory was issued because elevated bacteria and contaminants may have been present in the South Fork of the Nemaha River located North of Seneca, Kansas.

KDHE has deemed the stream safe for secondary (wading) contact and livestock use.
