The Withlacoochee, Alapaha, Ichetucknee, and Santa Fe Rivers tested clean. Evidently any contamination Hurricane Debby washed in has been diluted by the massive amount of water.
One new sewage spill was reported in the past week in the Suwannee River Basin in Florida, inland in High Springs; see below.
In Georgia, the four Valdosta Monday spills showed up in the GA-EPD Sewage Spills Report yesterday; see below.
There is still no update on the two Monday Quitman spills: where were they, and how much?
See separate post.

The weather prediction for the next ten days is chance of storms, but most likely in the afternoon.
Most of the rivers are still in flood or Action Stage, but a few are back down, such as the Little River from Hahira (GA 122) upstream and the ALapaha River at Sheboggy (US 82).
If you can find a river stretch that is low enough, happy fishing, swimming, and boating this weekend.
