EA will not release name of source behind River Witham pollution incident
The Environment Agency (EA) has confirmed they have identified the source behind a pollution incident which took place in the River Witham earlier this year - but they will not name the source.
In March, EA investigators said they found high levels of ammonia in the River Witham where thousands of fish had been reported dead.
The EA began receiving reports from the public that hundreds of fish were struggling to breathe and dying on a stretch of the Witham between Bardney Bridge and Tattershall Bridge.
