20230217 23255500 1.0 FGDC 20230413 10562274 editor:esri.dijit.metadata.editor FGDC CSDGM Metadata false TRUE The purpose of this dataset is to show the locations of fish advisories. To keep Arizona residents and visitors informed, ADEQ monitors contaminants in fish tissues statewide, prioritizing waterbodies that are popular fishing spots. When ADEQ's tests show a fish species in a stream or lake has a contaminant level higher than health standards, ADEQ issues a fish consumption advisory that identifies the contaminant of concern and provides guidance for which fish to eat and how much. Each year, ADEQ works in collaboration with the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) to sample fish from 15 to 20 Arizona streams and lakes. ADEQ tests filets of sampled fish for mercury and other pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), that may be harmful to public health and the environment | <a style='color:#CC6C20'>Learn More &gt;</a> Fish Consumption Advisories in My Community 2019-01-14 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 Erin Jordan Surface Water Quality Improvement Section Manager jordan.erin@azdeq.gov Julia Rowe Surface Water Quality Improvement Sampling & Source Identification Unit Manager rowe.julia@azdeq.gov Cody Maynard GIS GIS Analyst maynard.cody@azdeq.gov This dataset shows the locations of fish consumption advisories.
