Penobscot Bay History September 1 1994: A plume is a plume is a ...BLOOM?

Conservation pilot Rudy Engholm took this photo of a plume emanating from Delta Chemical  September 1, 1994, while on a routine mission. When the photo and a report was  forwarded to Maine DEP, the agency inquired of the company.  Based on Delta Chemical's response. DEP concluded the plume was from  the "drainage of 2 old facility ponds (marsh sheens/algae)." See below
