		Importantly, the Waterbury withdrawal is upstream from the point where the Bantam River empties into the Shepaug River, adding in at that point sewage effluent from the Town of Litchfield sewage treatment plant.
		To again point out the conflict, the Shepaug River is currently classified as a B/AA watercourse south of its confluence with the Bantam River tributary in Washington, which allows it to receive wastewater discharges.
		If this discharge, along with other smaller ones were removed, possibly diverted easterly at great expense to the Naugatuck River, the southern Shepaug thru Washington, Roxbury, Bridgewater and Southbury could theoretically be reclassified from B/AA to AA to be fully suitable for public drinking water supply.

		The Housatonic River watershed in Connecticut was a prominent brass-making and industrial region from the 1700's until well into the 20th Century, and that history is recorded in the river's sediments.
		The Housatonic River has a steep gradient and is prone to major flood events during wet periods in Southern New England (1890-1905; mid 1950's - notably the flood of 1955; 1970-1980).
		The metal profiles from the marsh deposits, which were dated with 210Pb, thus do not represent contamination chronologies but sediments involving re-deposition of highly contaminated sediments drawn from a large area of the watershed.
