Klamath ping. I don't think it is wise to try and blame this on drug labs, though the drug labs can be a problem and one of the main reasons the Grange was involved with creating the Rural Crime Task Force.

It was probably one of the problems that contributed to the fish kill. Several fishing guides had commented about the strong aroma in the lower Klamath.
That area is out of control with illegal activities.

"Plus the dope makers dumped their by products into the Klamath."
Don't bite on this story. It's propaganda. The good guys are winning the argument and they, the bad guys know by throwing the dastardly drug issue into the mix they can muddy up the argument.
For years and years and years salmonoids returned to rivers in Washington and had to swim through bodies of water so polluted you could almost walk on it.
The inland river system in America until recently was used as sewer and other industrial waste dumps, yet fish survived and prospered. I do not beleive for a minute, the clandestine drug dump is the culprit.

" I don't think it is wise to try and blame this on drug labs..." Perhaps you're just not up with the times. - The northwest corner of California is an economically depressed area, due to the destruction of it's chief industry: logging and lumber. - This is also true of Tuolumne, Mariposa, and Calaveras Counties, and in all of the above areas Methamphetamine production is pandemic. The problem is bankrupting these counties due to law enforcement costs.
And the icing on the cake is that almost all enviros are druggies too.
