The spill killed fish and other aquatic life, as well as terrestrial plants and animals. It also polluted soils, sediments, surface water, groundwater and wetlands.

Thirteen guided hikes covering subjects ranging from Kanawha State Forest's coal mining history to nature photography, birds, wildflowers and mushrooms will be part of the annual Osbra Eye Memorial Nature Walks program on Saturday in Kanawha State Forest.
In addition to several hikes dealing with spring wildflowers, there will be walks for both beginning and advanced birdwatchers as well as those interested in learning more about trees, medicinal plants and mushrooms. One hike will focus on catching and identifying aquatic animals in Davis Creek, while another will deal with general ecology and herpetology, and involve finding and identifying salamanders. A guided road tour of the park will be available for those unable to walk well.
