Abstract
The discharge of untreated and inadequately treated municipal and industrial wastes into the Amelia River, St. Marys River, and tributary streams caused serious water quality degradation and interfered with water uses in the coastal waters of Georgia and Florida. Untreated wastes discharged from the Rayonier, Inc. and Container Corporation of America paper mills and inadequately treated sewage from the City of Fernandina Beach are the main offenders. The report presents the results of a study of the water quality of this area and recommendations for improvement.
