Still havent seen any compelling reasons why lead should be banned.
So far all I've seen for why is speculation.
I do know that the '70's and '80's industrial waterways were dumping grounds for manufacturers, and that turned some of those water toxic, even to humans. Since then the EPA strickly regulated the industries and thsu the waterways ahve made a huge comeback. Lake Erie being an excellent example. Locally for me, the Illinois river still has restrictions on the number of certain fish species you can eat per month.
Illinois does monitor and regulate the waterways in Illinois pretty effectively.
Not sure how baning lead will affect anything. How much lead actually ends up in teh lake, and how many fish eat lead? Right now the only thing made from lead is weights.
