McDowell County
No fish consumption advisory is on file for any of the 9 named waters in McDowell 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 West Virginia hasn't published one — not that the fish have been tested and found safe. Check West Virginia DHHR — Fish Consumption Advisories before eating your catch, and see West Virginia's statewide guidance, which applies to waters with no rule of their own.
