Serving Waynesboro, Augusta County & the Shenandoah Valley

This briefing paper reports field measurements of total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in South River sediments and porewater using DGTs and voltammetry. It summarizes biochar amendments at Wertman Pond (≈50% THg and ≈75% MeHg reductions), near‑shore profiles at RRM 3.5 and 11.8 (THg ~1–5 µg/L; MeHg 10–30 ng/L), and bank drainage releasing high THg but little new MeHg.
