Re: Squam is contaminated

Thanks for the info Wayne. It is there forever now. Sad

Re: Squam is contaminated

I noticed the fish consumption guide at the boat launch on squam still says 4 meals per month. Not sure if that's still accurate or F+G just didn't bother to post a new notice

Re: Squam is contaminated

I was on a Zoom meeting the other day with Plymouth state, state environmental people, etc. about the contamination of Squam. There was a chart, (don’t know how to post a picture) it read an adult and children >7 can only consume (3) 8oz filets a year because of the PCB’s.

Re: Squam is contaminated

The 4 meals a month, are the guidelines for mercury levels (non cancer causing). PCB’s are cancer causing, therefore (3) 8oz filets a year for adult and >7yo.
