Blacksburg Country Club agrees to pay federal fine over fish kill

Posted May 3, 2012

Blacksburg Country Club has agreed to pay nearly $19,000 and finance an environmental restoration project to make amends for a chemical spill that killed thousands of fish.

The agreement reached in federal court is the latest regulatory action to come from a 2007 accident that dumped herbicides into the North Fork of the Roanoke River, killing about 10,000 fish.
