| Abstract | Long Description |
Twelve open-water sites in the South Puget Sound and one intertidal area in lower Budd Inlet are listed on the Federal Clean Water Act, Section 303(d) list for violations of water quality standards. Listings include total PCBs and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate in muscle tissue from English sole and rockfish and several polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in clams from the former Cascade Pole site in lower Budd Inlet. These sites will be assessed to determine whether or not they should remain on Category 5 of the 303(d) List. The listed parameters will be analyzed in tissue and the results compared to the human health criteria specified by Ecology′s Water Quality 303(d) Listing Policy. |
