Maryland manure-lagoon overflow kills nearly 11,000 fish across 25 species, officials say

An overflow from a manure lagoon at Kilby Farms in Cecil County, Maryland, has killed nearly 11,000 fish across 25 species in Basin Run, according to the Maryland Department of the Environment. The incident, which came to light in early October 2026, marks a far larger fish kill than a similar event at the same farm in 2025. State officials say the discharge occurred as the dairy already faces a lawsuit and a civil-contempt request over alleged repeated violations of a 2025 settlement aimed at stopping pollution in the waterway, as per reports.
