    Default Lake Juliette Fish


    With all the publicity around groundwater contamination occurring in Monroe County because of the power plant, I have a question! Would you eat the fish that come from Lake Juliette?

    There is no known groundwater contamination from the plant. There are monitoring wells all over the place around the plant and no contamination has been found. I eat all my fish out of there.

    If there is no contamination.

    Then why is Ga. Power is buying up all the property around Scherer to create a buffer zone...

    That being asked, I ate fish out of Juliette for years, with no issues. But I haven't fished there since 2013 when I bought a bigger boat. YMMV.

    It is something to consider very seriously. The truth on something like that is very hard to get to the bottom of.

    I have eaten crappie and striper out of Juliette with no problems that I know of. Same thing with West Point , unless you eat fish those at every meal I doubt you all be affected.

    Good information that rings of a semi hit piece. But I grew disillusioned with the article when the author threw in that one of the residents had grown disillusioned with the Republicans and switched to the dem party. Then sang the praises of the last administration in the article. I have friends near the lake that have been affected by the coal residue. But I don't want to read about it on a CDC fishing report page.

    JMHO.

    No way. Know someone who had there well water checked 3 miles north and it was contaminated with extremely high levels of Chromium which is a by product of the ash ponds!

    Note that skin absorption (bathing) is as bad as drinking water for these type chemicals!

    The reason for the buffer area is the coal ash ponds are being dug out out and lined to keep them from contaminating groundwater. In the process, new ponds have to built first.

    As far as the high levels of Chromium in well water, how high? Hexavalent Chromium is naturally occuring especially in the piedmont area. If there water tested more than 0.1 mg/L of Hexavalent Chromium then they would not be able to use the water.
