| Short Description |
This technical report was prepared as part of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard project, ENVironmental InVESTment (ENVVEST), to improve the environmental quality of the Sinclair-Dyes Inlet Watershed in Kitsap County, Washington. The is a cooperative project among the U.S. Navy, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington State Department of Ecology, the Suquamish Tribe, Kitsap County, City of Bremerton, City of Port Orchard, and other local stakeholders.

| Abstract | Long Description |
As a first step toward development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for fecal coliform bacteria in the Sinclair and Dyes inlets watershed, this report uses historical and new data to characterize loading of bacteria from areas in the watershed with different levels of land-use intensity, characterized by percent Total Impervious Area. Monitoring in 2003-04 included storm-event measurements of bacteria and streamflow of natural streams and stormwater outfalls that discharge to the inlets. Fecal coliform concentrations were higher for nearshore, stream, and stormwater outfall samples from areas with high-intensity development than from areas with less development. Bacterial loading to marine receiving waters from stormwater outfalls is significant and is on the same order of magnitude as loads carried by streams that drain highly urbanized watersheds. |
