Topeka ? State health and wildlife officials say it is now safe for most people to eat fish caught out of two bodies of water that were previously under consumption advisories.

But the warnings remain in place for many other lakes and rivers in Kansas, including a stretch of the Kansas River between Lawrence and Eudora.

And for certain sensitive populations — women who are pregnant or may become pregnant and children younger than 18 — the state still recommends restricting consumption of all types of locally caught fish to one meal per week, regardless of where the fish is caught, because of mercury contamination.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism released their annual update of the fish consumption advisories Monday. The advisories identify types of fish and other aquatic animals that should be eaten in limited quantities or, in some cases, avoided altogether because of contamination.

The stretch of the Kansas River from below the Bowersock Dam in Lawrence to the confluence of the Wakarusa River near Eudora remains under an advisory for bottom-feeding fish because of polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCB’s.

The state recommends not eating buffalos, carp, carpsuckers, catfishes other than flathead catfish, sturgeons and suckers caught from that stretch of the river.

The biggest change from the last update in January is that advisories have been lifted for two bodies of water: Horseshoe Lake in Cherokee County; and a stretch of the Little Arkansas River between Valley Center and Wichita in Sedgwick County.

Horseshoe Lake, located in a mined land reclamation area, had been under an advisory since 2003 because of contamination from perchlorate contamination, but state officials said efforts to remove those chemicals from the lake have been successful.

The Little Arkansas River in Sedgwick County had been under an advisory for all types of fish since 2011 due to mercury contamination. Officials say people who eat fish from that river should still follow the general advisory regarding mercury and limit consumption to one meal per week.

Other advisories still in effect include:

• Spring River from the confluence of Center Creek to the Kansas-Oklahoma border in Cherokee County: shellfish because of lead and cadmium.

• Shoal Creek from the Missouri-Kansas border to Empire Lake in Cherokee County: shellfish because of lead and cadmium.

• Cow Creek in Hutchinson and downstream to the confluence with the Arkansas River in Reno County: bottom-feeding fish because of PCBs.

• The Arkansas River from the Lincoln Street dam in Wichita downstream to the confluence with Cowskin Creek near Belle Plaine in Sedgwick and Sumner counties: bottom-feeding fish because of PCBs.

• Antioch Park Lake South in Antioch Park, Overland Park in Johnson County: all fish because of the pesticides dieldrin, heptachlor epoxide, chlordane and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes, or DDTs.
