- J. David Dean, K. Thornton, R. Manning, D. Porcella -- Mercury as a pollutant is emerging as a significant issue in the southeastern United States due to recent emphasis by the U. S. EPA on the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) provisions of the Clean Water Act. A number of water bodies are on state 303(d) lists of impaired waters due to fish consumption advisories for mercury TMDLs to be estblished with immediacy. This paper will discuss sources of mercury in the southeastern U. S., both natural and anthropogenic, specific situations under which mercury can become methylated and bioaccumulate in fish, and review the current status of mercury fish consumption advisories and TMDLs. It concludes with a discussion of the potential impacts of mercury TMDLs on the pulp and paper industry.
