White River restoration is just a trickle

Most money set aside for rehabilitation after '99 fish kill remains unspent.

More than a year after Guide Corp. agreed to plead guilty and pay $6 million
to rehabilitate White River after a massive fish kill, only about 13 percent
of a restoration fund has been spent.

The restoration fund was part of a $14.2 million payment from Guide that
involved additional civil and criminal penalties and investigative costs for
the 1999 spill of toxins that killed 5 million fish from Anderson to
Indianapolis.
