Another chemical spill at Eastman Chemical Company on Wednesday morning.
Eastman officials say there was a brief accidental discharge in the South Fork Holston River due to the over-pressurization of a process reactor.
The spill was a mixture of diethyl ether, the same type of spill that occurred on July 28, 2009, and tetraethyl pyrophosphate.
Representatives from Department of Environment and Conservation's Johnson City field office conducted a site investigation Wednesday morning.
Eastman reports no employees were injured but approximately one dozen fish were killed. Eastman does not expect this release to have any further adverse impact on the South Fork Holston River. A team is investigating the incident.
