A steel company apologized for a spill of cyanide and ammonia that led to a fish kill and prompted the closure of beaches along Lake Michigan.
The National Park Service closed the Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk beach areas at Indiana Dunes National Park and waters out to 300 feet . The nearby city of Ogden Dunes also closed its beach. The fish kill occurred near a yacht club and marina in Portage, about 25 miles east of Chicago "The recirculating system has been repaired and normal operations have resumed. Although sampling is ongoing, we are confident that the facility's wastewater system is operating within normal ranges," the statement said.
The state agency has said the mill released the chemicals into the Little Calumet River's east branch. It was unclear how much of the two chemicals entered the Lake Michigan tributary.
