The Michigan Department of Community Health Issues a Precautionary Public Health Advisory for the Kalamazoo River and Vicinity.
The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) is advising that people not eat fish from Talmadge Creek or the Kalamazoo River following an oil spill that occurred on Monday, July 26, 2010. MDCH is also advising that people not touch or swim in the Kalamazoo River or Talmadge Creek and avoid the general area of the spill. These advisories are temporary and will remain in effect until a determination is made by State and Federal officials that the Kalamazoo River or Talmadge Creek are safe for fishing and swimming.
Downstream (west) of I-69 on the Kalamazoo River to the west end of Morrow Lake: MDCH advises that no one eat fish of any kind from these waters. Do not eat any fish that smell of oil or have oil on them.
Downstream (west) of I-69 on the Kalamazoo River to the west end of Morrow Lake: MDCH advises that no one swim in or touch the water, and avoid the area while clean up of the spill is on-going. If you do get oil on your skin or clothing, follow the advice below:
The affected skin should be washed with soap and water. Avoid using harsh detergents, solvents, or other chemicals to wash oil from skin as they may promote absorption of the oil through the skin. Clothing should be laundered in the usual manner.
If you have health concerns related to contact with the oil, talk with your doctor.
Keep pets out of oil contaminated water and avoid the shoreline. If your pet comes in contact with the oil, talk with your veterinarian.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service is coordinating efforts to rescue affected wildlife. People can call 1-800-306-6837 to report wildlife concerns.
