Brown and orange colored sediment polluted salmon-bearing and crop-irrigating waters of Butte Creek beginning Thursday morning, caused by a breach along the Butte Canal near De Sabla, operated by PG&E. Salmon restoration experts are particularly worried because the creek, on a typical year, sees 5,000-10,000 salmon during spawning season, and the population of an already-small run may dwindle further.
