Just googled Lake Hartwell and these pictures come up first
Looks like a pretty trashy place to me.

That appears to be the least of the Lake's problems…

Warnings posted

Every year, South Carolina's Department of Health and Environmental Control issues the same warning for Lake Hartwell. Do not eat any hybrid or striped bass in the lake. Do not eat any fish caught in the Twelve Mile River or Seneca arms of the lake. Limit consumption of largemouth bass or channel catfish to one serving per month.

The health department posts fish advisory signs at boat ramps around the lake. The signs warn that some fish caught in Lake Hartwell contain high levels of polychlorinated biphenyl, or PCBs, which have been known to cause cancer, can damage neurological development in children, can disrupt the reproductive system and can harm development of unborn babies, according to the Centers for Disease Control's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.

The warnings stem from the Sangamo Western Plant's release of PCBs used to make capacitors into Town Creek, a tributary to Twelve Mile River, which flows into Lake Hartwell, from the 1950s through the 1970s.

The U.S. banned PCBs in the 1970s, and the Environmental Protection Agency oversaw the cleanup of PCB-laden sediment and removal of two dams from Twelve Mile Creek earlier this decade, but sediment carrying PCBs washed into the lake for decades and became part of the fish food chain.

Levels of PCBs in fish in Lake Hartwell remain the highest in the state and well above the allowed consumption standards, said Jim Beasley, DHEC spokesman.

Yet you totally glossed over this report issued by your own state about Lake Hartwell. Interdasting…

I know this part sticks out

So if you spend so much time in Hartwell it may explain much about your special needs, bless your heart, you have mutated after all that chemical exposure. Perhaps you should find a good lawyer and sue for the mental defects this lake has caused you.

Denial may not be a river in Egypt but is sure seems to be a lake in Clemson, SC.

certain species of fish are known for having high mercury levels in general. the advisory was only for bass and catfish, and is saying it is ok to eat, just don't overconsume it.

i'm curious, do you ever talk about a college that you attended?

or it is just all about beating up on colleges that you didn't attend outside of the SEC, and adding up women bbasketball titles by SEC teams? lol

if i was motivated to beat up on Clemson, i'd probably concentrate on it it being a small town in a rural area.

i don't eat fish. i don't think in general many Clemson students are fishing.

it crazy how the least controversial thing that i've said on this internet forum, mentioning the lake as one reason I like Clemson compared to other college campuses, on a thread about college campuses, has become such an obsession with people on here. lol

nobody trying to force you to like a lake or Clemson. lol Clemson is for people who attend the college. why not talk about something you like rather than throw rocks at something that another person likes.

i grew up waterskiing so I was attracted by a large university next to a lake and near two other ones, at the base of the Blue Ridge. it felt like i lived on a mountain lake golf resort for 4 years.

You do realize if you are in the lake the PCB's and other contaminants can enter through your eyes (even if they are closed) and through the other orifices of your body such as your mouth and your skin (especially if you have a cut or other skin abrasion).

Here I am trying to save your life and you are arguing with me, not a very bright thing on you part. However, if you are a mod you can tell me and nobody else will know who this alter is.

i've never seen any advisory not to swim in the lake. it is a standard lake.

I just posted the one above. Did you not see "Jaws"? When money is to be made from the tourist's they cover the dangers up to keep the money rolling in. When you are already dead from the chemicals it is too late to sue and retire. If you were dumping that much harmful chemicals for that many years you could not pay me enough to go near that lake. China probably has safer water (mainly because they have at least a decade or two to catch up).

This thread is still going?

Good lort
