Eastman Chemical Discharge

On Wednesday morning there was an accidental discharge of chemicals at Eastman into the Holston River. It was caused by the over-pressurization of a process reactor. Over 7000 pounds of unpronounceable chemicals were leaked into the river. Only about 12 fish were reported dead, and Eastman doesn’t expect any other damages to the environment in connection with the leak.
