Briefing paper summarizing Phase I Year Two ecological studies (2008) of mercury and methylmercury in the South River. Findings: tributaries and floodplain are minor Hg/MeHg contributors; groundwater contributes ~33% of discharge but little MeHg; gravels dominate methylmercury flux; iron-reduction may drive methylation. Outlines Phase II 2009 priorities: near-bank loading, benthic flux confirmation, and invertebrate effects.

Review Notes :
Title, authorship, meeting, and findings (percentages, dates) are taken directly from the briefing paper. Document is a briefing/technical summary prepared for an Expert Panel (Oct 21–22, 2008). I assigned 'Technical Report' because the PDF summarizes study results rather than serving as meeting minutes or slide deck.
