$FILE - In this Tuesday, May 22, 2018 file photo, sludge from the Hi-Crush mine in Whitehall, Wis. is seen in the Trempealeau River near Dodge, Wis. Wisconsin officials say early tests have found no harmful chemicals after a spill near a frack sand mine sent millions of gallons of sludge into waterways. A contactor's bulldozer slid into a pond last month, leading to an hours-long rescue at the mine in Whitehall. Rescuers emptied 10 million gallons of water to reach the driver. The spill sent thick sludge into a Trempealeau River tributary, tinting waterways orange as the thick plume traveled downstream and into the Mississippi River.
