Vulnerability of selected lakes and streams in the Middle Atlantic region to acidification: a regional survey. Final report

OSTI ID:6013132
In conjunction with a similar study in the New England States, 278 lakes and streams in the 9 Middle Atlantic States (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee) were surveyed. Primary objectives were to document the sensitivity of these waters to acidification and to test the validity of available models and classifications for predicting their acidification. The study results indicate that a large number of relatively undisturbed waters in the Middle Atlantic States are either already acidified or are susceptible to acidification. About 49% of the unpolluted, comparatively undeveloped waters sampled were sensitive to acidification. Few of the waters showed high concentrations of aluminum, and there was only one case of a potentially toxic aluminum/pH combination.
