Human Health Risk Assessment
Fish, Mussels and Crayfish Consumption
The draft Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) used data from fish sampling conducted in 2005, 2009, 2016 and 2018. The HHRA found that for recreational visitors and residents:
• Cancer benchmarks for metals and other chemicals of potential concern were not exceeded.
• For children, non-cancer benchmarks for methylmercury, thallium and TEQ (dioxins/furans plus dioxin-like PCBs) for some fish species were exceeded.
• For adults, no chemicals exceeded non-cancer benchmarks.
Cumulative risk (summing the effect of all chemicals
of potential concern) exceeded non-cancer benchmarks for
burbot, kokanee, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, sucker,
