Eastman officials say there was a brief accidental discharge in the South Fork Holston River due to the over-pressurization of a process reactor.
The spill was a mixture of diethyl ether, the same type of spill that occurred on July 28, 2009, and tetraethyl pyrophosphate.
Representatives from Department of Environment and Conservation’s Johnson City field office conducted a site investigation Wednesday morning.
Eastman reports no employees were injured but approximately one dozen fish were killed. Eastman does not expect this release to have any further adverse impact on the South Fork Holston River. A team is investigating the incident.

People fish and swim in the lakes and rivers affected by this. It should be illegal and these companies should be taken to court. Many class action lawsuits have been filed against Eastman in the past, as well as Massengill chemical for dumping red bag MEDICAL WASTE in rural areas and mountains.

An accidental spillage occurs at a chemical plant that kills 12 fish and we wind up with an OP like this.
Just how dumb can these threads get?
You forgot...there was 1 frog killed too. It's time for new legislation!
