Please attach to USGS WRIR 03-4241--ONLINE REPORT ONLY

Subsequent to publication of U.S. Geological Survey Water Resources Investigations Report 03-4241, "Atmospheric deposition of nutrients, pesticides, and mercury in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, 2002," by M.A. Mast and others, an error was found with the unit of measure for mercury deposition on pages 5 and 13. The unit should be micrograms per square meter.

Version 1.1

• P. 5, Abstract, second paragraph, sixth sentence—The sentence has been changed to read: "Mercury deposition to Loch Vale was estimated at 7.1 µg/m² (micrograms per square meter) of which nearly 70 percent of the annual mercury deposition occurred during summer."

• P. 13, Summary and Conclusions, fifth paragraph third sentence—The sentence has been changed to read: "Annual mercury deposition in Loch Vale in 2002 was estimated at 7.1 µg/m², which was similar to deposition at locations in the Midwestern United States where fish-consumption advisories are common."

The report has been published on the Web only and can be found at https://pubs.water.usgs.gov/wri034241/

We apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused.
