North Carolina
Cherokee County
No fish consumption advisory is on file for any of the 18 named waters in Cherokee County.
That doesn't mean they've been cleared
Most waters in the United States have never been sampled for contaminants. An absence of an advisory means North Carolina hasn't published one — not that the fish have been tested and found safe. Check North Carolina DHHS — Fish Consumption Advisories before eating your catch, and see North Carolina's statewide guidance, which applies to waters with no rule of their own.
