To add to LTL's and Maverick's posts, one of the concerns is the introduction of fertilizer type chemicals from farms, lawns, and malfunctioning sewage treatment plants (Dadeville). You will begin to see algae blooms (green water) that rob the water of oxygen and can cause fish kills. We've already seen some algae in Sandy Creek.

Without adequate inflow and outflow, water stagnates and concentrations of chemicals and bacteria can cause fish kills, water grass kills, and can harm humans who swim in these waters. For example: off the coast of the Mississippi River delta in the Gulf of Mexico a Dead Zone develops every year about this time. This Dead Zone is directly caused by fertilizers that empty from the MS River, promote algae growth to the point that no fish can live in the area - thus the Dead Zone.
