Not enough info here?

http://www.vdh.state.va.us/epidemiol...lthtoxicology/

The site looks like it hasn't been updated since 2005 (the USGS data)

All of these sites seem to have one axe to grind and they glaze over
everything else. This one seems to be going for organics and metals.

Pick the best stone to grind your axe on to ensure that you sharpen your
axe. It is like poll shopping.

I suppose in your mind polluting our waterways is okay?

You won't receive any awards for your mind reading.

It seems to be when it is the DC government doing it.

I was amazed that 50 years after the feds decided to clean up the
river that it is still so bad. I really believed they were making
measurable progress but from what I am reading, sadly, that is not
true.

We have a river down the street that was a nasty hole when I was a kid.
You literally held your nose as you drove across it, it was so brown you
couldn't see 12 inches to the bottom, and it was littered with garbage
and floating debris. Now it's "cleaned up" and a "trophy trout stream"
according to the State snerk. I checked it out once a couple years ago
and yeah, it doesn't smell any more, but my dog wouldn't drink it and I
certainly wouldn't eat any fish out of it. I see a lot of folks from the
city down there and they seem happy fishing, still don't see anybody
wading in, at least it's better than when I grew up there..

The military is damned good at polluting waterways, too.

What river is that? I'd like to see the data.

"Historically used for industry, the river has in recent years had
hiking trails and linear parks developed along its banks. The banks of
the river are slowly being cleaned up after years of pollution and
dumping."

That's a bad thing in your eyes?
