| Abstract | Long Description |
Industrial stormwater self-monitoring reports in Washington State have shown generally elevated levels of zinc, and to a lesser extent copper, in stormwater discharges. A plan is described for studying the impacts of industrial stormwater on zinc and copper concentrations in Mill Creek, a tributary of Springbrook Creek. The creek drainage area, which traverses a predominately industrial area in Kent, lies predominately in an industrial area. The unusually high density of industrial facilities provides an opportunity to assess the potential for stormwater runoff from industrial areas to impact receiving waters. Ambient creek water samples will be collected during "first flush" summer and fall storms following periods of no precipitation. Results will be compared with water quality standards. Clean sampling techniques and low-level metals analyses will be used. |
