Narrative:
We received a duct leakage light on the left side. We followed the QRH for duct leakage. The procedures directed us to shut down the engine. An emergency was declared, and ATC, the flight attendant, passenger, and our dispatcher were notified. All appropriate checklists were followed, and landing was uneventful in mcn. Despite reported ceiling and visibility, an instrument approach to ILS runway 5 was needed in order to descend and see the runway. Fire equipment was standing by, and passenger were calm and deplaned normally when it was determined that there was nothing hazardous to require an emergency evacuate/evacuation. The problem occurred at described location above with destination to mcn.
