South Dakota

Hanson County

No fish consumption advisory is on file for any of the 8 named waters in Hanson 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 South Dakota hasn't published one — not that the fish have been tested and found safe. Check South Dakota Dept. of Health — Fish Consumption Advisories before eating your catch, and see South Dakota's statewide guidance, which applies to waters with no rule of their own.
