State environmental officials say a chemical spill in metro Atlanta poses no danger to the public or to the Chattahoochee River. But the Department of Natural Resources still hasn't been able to identify the substance. It has already killed thousands of freshwater carp, catfish and bass in a private lake in Mableton.

No Go Fish in north Georgia stream
There will be no angling at a trout stream in north Georgia. State officials have temporarily closed Dukes Creek at Smithgall Woods Conservation Center in Helen.
The triple digit temperatures and warm water, combined with angling activity, has made conditions lethal for trout in the stream. Re-opening the stream to the public is contingent on conditions.
Officials say anglers can visit nearby Waters Creek on the Chestatee Wildlife Management Area.
Anglers planning future trips to Dukes Creek should call the Conservation Area for the latest information: 706-878-3087
