Hot Creek, a tributary of the Owens River in the Long Valley Caldera in California, contains naturally elevated concentrations of arsenic as a result of geothermal activity.
The [...] is near the ambient concentration of arsenite in Hot Creek.
This result, coupled with the isolation of the Hydrogenophaga oxidizers from a million-fold dilution of a suspension of cells from the macrophyte surface, suggests that the Hydrogenophaga are significant members of this community and may be the dominant arsenite oxidizers.

 10/9/2002 - Water Conserve: CALIF: Town, Anglers Fight Over Rich Trout Stream   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In a setting known for its burbling creeks and snowy peaks--and increasingly for its luxury condos and golf courses--anglers are accusing the town of Mammoth Lakes of a water grab that will allow the resort community to grow at the expense of a beloved trout stream.
With the Eastern Sierra massif as a backdrop, this celebrated stretch of stream is where several thousand fly fishermen have gone each year for decades to test their mettle against wily, plump trout, all of which must be released as soon as they are caught.
The primary concern is that reduced flows in Mammoth Creek during a prolonged drought would cause the waters, both in Hot Creek and downstream in the Owens River, to become too hot for the trout.

For several years now, an organization called CalTrout has stated that Mammoth Community Water District's diversions of Mammoth Creek to provide Mammoth Lakes with drinking water are harming downstream uses of the creek, including a valuable trout fishery located at Hot Creek Hatchery and in the rest of Hot Creek itself.
CalTrout has stated that the "low flows" in Mammoth Creek, a result they say, of the MCWD taking too much water for the community, are causing the areas of Hot Creek that lie below U.S. 395 to become silted over and to increase in temperature, both of which have a detrimental impact to trout.
The Upper Owens River, the headwaters of much of Los Angeles' drinking water, as well as the birth place of much of the Eastern Sierra's fishing economy, has been drawing increased attention over the years, most recently due to indications that the Benton Crossing landfill might be leaching toxins into the headwaters.
