I doubt this is unique to Tennessee...

It would be extremely surprising if it was unique to Tennessee. Actually
its surprising that that they didn't find at least some level of e. coli in
every stream in the state, since deer, rabbits, squirrels, and most other
wild game can carry e. coli in their gut. I suspect however, that the
levels of e. coli found in these 500 streams exceeded some threshhold
significant level, but that was not stated in the article and the journalist
who wrote the article probably didn't understand the distinction..
