Slide deck summarizes updates to statistical models for mercury (THg) in the South River system. Using gradient boosting, models for surface water, sediment, and adult bass tissue showed higher R2 and lower RMSE. Simulations assessed effects of an assumed 90% bank Hg loading reduction within 0–2 miles. Path forward includes sensitivity testing, integrated bass model, and monitoring comparisons.
