Franklin County
No fish consumption advisory is on file for any of the 13 named waters in Franklin 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 Virginia hasn't published one — not that the fish have been tested and found safe. Check Virginia Dept. of Health — Fish Consumption Advisories before eating your catch, and see Virginia's statewide guidance, which applies to waters with no rule of their own.
