Description Errata: The July 2005 pdf (linked above) is a revision of the original publication posted in June 2005.

The detections of the chemical, heptachlor epoxide, reported in the June publication were incorrect. Heptachlor epoxide was not detected in any fish samples from either river; therefore, heptachlor epoxide should not have been recommended for 303(d) listing as was stated in the report.

The total PCB data were correct and are recommended for listing, as stated in the June publication.
