In fact, its very headwaters are buried beneath a hazardous waste site. Its other main tributaries-the Yellow and Alcovy-rise in Atlanta's fast-growing northeast suburbs of Gwinnett County, and they too have not escaped the impacts of city life. Yet the Ocmulgee also hosts one hundred species of fish, eighty-five of which are native to the river, as well as eighteen native freshwater mussel species, including seven species found nowhere else on the planet.
