Ogeechee River advisory lifted
Riverkeeper still wary
Ogeechee file Web
In this Herald file photo from July 2011, Ogeechee Riverkeeper Dianna Wedincamp investigates discharge from King America Finishing plant pipe on the Ogeechee River.
The Ogeechee River is cleared for fishing and swimming after tests showed no dangerous chemical levels, Bulloch County Public Safety Director Ted Wynn said. But Ogeechee Riverkeeper Dianna Wedincamp said she would not take her children fishing or swimming in the river below a textiles plant discharge pipe. King America Finishing, a plant in Dover that discharges wastewater into the river, has been accused by Wedincamp, residents and others of contributing to the cause of a massive fish kill in May 2011.
