SURFACE WATER RESULTS
NOTE: The data below represents surface water samples that were collected on Feb 12, 2014 by EPA START (Team 1) sampling teams. Water
sample measurements are in milligrams per liter (mg/L) and/or micrograms per liter (|a,g/L) for these samples. The data is being compared to EPA
ecological risk screening levels (ERSLs) to protect aquatic life in the surface water of the Dan River. Specific qualifiers and footnotes are listed below
the summary table. These samples were collected at various locations along the river (refer to map for generalized locations). The detected
concentrations in surface water are all below the EPA ERSLs with the exception of lead. EPA typically screens the surface water concentrations using
total metals samples, because this is a conservative practice for screening. Because lead was not detected in any of the samples of the dissolved fraction
of surface water (i.e., samples that were filtered to remove particulates), there is no threat of toxicity of lead to aquatic organisms. [When chemical
concentrations exceed the screening values it doesn't mean there will be adverse health or ecological effects, but recommends further investigation may
be needed.
