REPORT: SLO's most polluted waters

Late last year, state water officials published a list of San Luis Obispo County’s most polluted fisheries.
The goal of the report is to pinpoint where the pollutants are coming from in hopes of cleaning up the respective stream, river, reservoir or bay.
In all, 19 SLO County waters were listed on the annual watch list — affecting 10,341 acres of open water and 146 miles of creeks and rivers.
The pollutants ranged from bacteria, byproducts of nearby farms and pesticides, and toxic metals.
Here’s a link to the actual report: http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/tmdl/docs/303dlists2006/final/r3_final303dlist.pdf
