28 Waterways in SC Under Mercury Warning

The Department of Health and Environmental Control has recently published an updated list of fish advisory.  The latest information cites 28 rivers throughout SC that are impaired due to mercury and other contaminants.  As a result, many bottom-feeding fish are unsuitable to eat.  Coal-fired power plants, incinerators and cement kilns are all contributors to the presence of mercury in our waterways.  For the Post and Courier article on this topic, click here.
