| Abstract | Long Description |
Five waterbodies located among three regions of Washington State (northwest, central, and eastern) are listed on the federal Clean Water Act, Section 303(d) list for violations of water quality standards. By request of the Washington State Department of Ecology′s Water Quality Program, these waterbodies will be assessed to determine whether or not they should remain on the 303(d) list. The water quality violations include: 1. Dieldrin in fish from Shilshole Bay, and sediment bioassay toxicity in Springbrook/ Mill Creek (northwest region). 2. Total PCBs, 4,4′-DDT, 4,4′-DDD, 4,4′-DDE, and Alpha BHC in Wenatchee River fish, and total PCBs in Icicle Creek fish (central region). 3. Sediment bioassay toxicity in the Spokane River (eastern region). The waterbodies will be assessed by analyzing contaminant concentrations in fish tissue and toxicity of sediments, and comparing results to the criteria specified by Ecology′s Water Quality 303(d) Listing Policy. |
