      The 2006 Annual Report on Fairfax County’s Streams has been posted the county's Stormwater Web site. The report can be downloaded into sections (recommended) or as one very large file (not recommended). In the report, you’ll read about:

      • The state of Fairfax County’s streams in 2005 which shows that 57 percent of streams are in very poor to poor condition, 25 percent are in fair condition, and 18 percent are in good to excellent condition (using aquatic bugs – benthic macroinvertebrates – as an indicator).
      • The updated list of impaired waters identified by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality which includes streams that are in poor quality (impaired) that do not meet state water quality standards and are not suitable for their intended uses such as swimming, fishing, or aquatic life.
      • The new watershed map series that provides information about water quality conditions of local stream based on biological monitoring data from 1999 to 2005.
