FISH
Health Advisory for Selected Water Bodies in the Northern Sierra Nevada Foothills (Nevada, Placer, and Yuba Counties)
[12/12/03, Updated 03/18/09]
OEHHA previously issued an advisory for a combination of several reservoirs, rivers, and creeks in the Sierra foothills. In the advisory update process, only fish species with sufficient sample sizes were given safe eating guidelines. Because sample sizes were not adequate for any fish species from the following water bodies, safe eating guidelines are no longer provided. It was not possible to determine whether fish from these water bodies are safe to eat based on the limited data.
- Bear River below Highway 20
- Deer Creek
- South Yuba River
- Scotts Flat Reservoir
