  • Contamination Status of Polychlorinated Biphenyls
    ACCUMULATION OF POLYCHLORINED BIPHENYLS IN FISH COLLECTED FROM ST. SIMONS ESTUARY, BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, USA Hao L1, Senthil Kumar K1, Sajwan K S1, Li P1, Peck A2, Gilligan M1, Pride C1 1 Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Savannah State University, 3219 College Street, Savannah, GA 2 31404, USA; Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, #10 Ocean Science Circle, Savannah, GA 31411, USA Abstract Contamination profiles of 17 PCB congeners were determined in five fish species collected at eight sites in St. Simons Estuary, Brunswick, Georgia, USA (which is very close to an LCP Superfund Site). Pinfish collected at Turtle River at Buffalo Swamp had the highest PCBs concentration (143 ng/g wet weight [ww]). Whiting and southern flounder collected at Turtle River at Buffalo Swamp also had higher PCBs concentrations (57 ng/g and 73 ng/g ww, respectively) than the same fish species collected at the other sites (the Mouth of Frederica River, Back River, Mackay River South of Jove Creek, Towers of St Simons, Lower Jekyll Cove, Turtle River at Andrew Island, and Turtle River at Cowpen Creek). The current PCBs concentrations of fish in our study were lower than those reported in previous studies. Introduction Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are classified as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which are toxic to humans and wildlife1. PCBs are ubiquitous chemicals including in marine ecosystems, and posed potential harm to all kinds of living things2-3. St. Simons Estuary is located in Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia. Brunswick has a poor record of environmental protection due to the negative impact of chemical pollution from Linden Chemicals and Plastics (LCP) Superfund Site.

  • Rule 391-3-6-.03. Water Use Classifications and Water Quality Standards
    Presented below are water quality standards that are in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. EPA is posting these standards as a convenience to users and has made a reasonable effort to assure their accuracy. Additionally, EPA has made a reasonable effort to identify parts of the standards that are not approved, disapproved, or are otherwise not in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. Rule 391-3-6-.03. Water Use Classifications and Water Quality Standards ( 1) Purpose. The establishment of water quality standards. (2) W ate r Quality Enhancement: (a) The purposes and intent of the State in establishing Water Quality Standards are to provide enhancement of water quality and prevention of pollution; to protect the public health or welfare in accordance with the public interest for drinking water supplies, conservation of fish, wildlife and other beneficial aquatic life, and agricultural, industrial, recreational, and other reasonable and necessary uses and to maintain and improve the biological integrity of the waters of the State. ( b) The following paragraphs describe the three tiers of the State's waters. (i) Tier 1 - Existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing uses shall be maintained and protected. (ii) Tier 2 - Where the quality of the waters exceed levels necessary to support propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and recreation in and on the water, that quality shall be maintained and protected unless the division finds, after full satisfaction of the intergovernmental coordination and public participation provisions of the division's continuing planning process, that allowing lower water quality is necessary to accommodate important economic or social development in the area in which the waters are located.

  • Frederica: an 18Th-Century Planned Community
    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Frederica: An 18th-Century Planned Community Frederica: An 18th-Century Planned Community (Photo by Ed Mathews) (Fort Frederica National Monument) On the serene, isolated west shore of St. Simons Island, Georgia, the ruins of a once- flourishing 18th-century settlement stand. A powder magazine overlooks Frederica River, a reminder of the fort that protected the British colonies against the Spanish during the early 18th-century struggle for control of the southern frontier of English occupation in the New World. The excavated foundations of various structures remind visitors that from 1736 until 1758, the planned community of Frederica served the military garrison quartered there and housed a population of up to 1,000. National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Frederica: An 18th-Century Planned Community Strolling along the now-abandoned streets, it is easy to imagine laughing children playing under the shade of the live oaks festooned with gray Spanish moss. The gentle coastal breezes brushing by Broad Street recall a time when the air was filled with the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked bread being taken from the public ovens. Other smells and sounds are easy to evoke: the acrid odor of smoke rising from summer fires built both inside and outside the houses to ward off menacing insects, the bang of shutters as merchants open their shops for the morning business, and the quiet rustling of women’s skirts as they perform their everyday housekeeping chores. In 1736 a group of British colonists led by Gen.
