Serving Waynesboro, Augusta County & the Shenandoah Valley

This conference poster describes a six-week benthic colonization study on the South River (May–June 2011) using substrate-filled trays at three study and two reference areas to evaluate effects of historical mercury releases. Results show a temporal shift from tolerant Chironomidae to EPT taxa, no significant correlation between benthic metrics and sediment Hg, and one reference differing from study sites.
