Me personally, I wouldn't eat anything caught south of the confluence in Harper's Ferry, anything out of Rock Creek, anything out of the Anacostia (maybe Paint Branch north of 495 would be OK?)
I'm not as afraid of heavy metals as PCBs:
| Affected Boundaries | Potomac River Basin - the following tributaries between the VA/MD state line near Rt. 340 bridge (Loudoun County) to the I-395 bridge in Arlington County (above the Woodrow Wilson Bridge): Goose Creek up to the Dulles Greenway Road Bridge, Broad Run up to Rt. 625 bridge, Difficult Run up to Rt. 7 bridge, and Pimmit Run up to Rt. 309 bridge. These tributaries comprise ~24 miles. (12/13/04) |
| Contaminant | Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) |
My policy is to kill them and based on what Richard says I think it's the safest call. A related question is I noticed the "Fishing in the District" page says they do not recommend eating stripers caught from D.C. waters, but they go on to provide a daily limit for stripers. Why is this? Do any of you eat anything you catch out of the waters in D.C.?--
