Abstract
On 15 June 2017, staff of the Aquatic Biology Section within the Bureau of Water of DHEC conducted an aquatic macroinvertebrate bioassessment of the Congaree River near Columbia, SC. The goal of the study was to determine if sediment contaminated with coal tar in the Congaree River was having an adverse impact to the indigenous invertebrate fauna near the sediment plume. The contamination was a waste by-product of a former manufactured gas plant, which was in operation during the first half of the 20th century.
