Agent Orange Scare? Experts Say No!
Remember when we said that the barrels found in Wallowa Lake could contain Agent Orange? Good news! No Agent Orange was found in the barrels.
The Environmental Protection Agency and Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality sent a team to investigate the barrels. Despite recreational divers suspecting there could be Agent Orange in them, there wasn't. There was one barrel with a herbicide label, but the barrel was full of lake water.
If you know someone near Joseph, Oregon - you can rest easy! The water is fine!
