| Abstract | Long Description |
A Quality Assurance Project Plan is provided for measuring levels of chlorinated pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polychlorinated dioxins and furans (PCDDs/PCDFs) in fish from the Yakima River drainage. The river is on the Federal Clean Water Act Section 303(d) List for exceeding human health criteria for these compounds in edible fish tissue samples. The study will assess progress toward meeting Total Maximum Daily Load targets that have been established for the chlorinated pesticides DDT and dieldrin, assess compliance with human health criteria for all listed chemicals, and provide data to update the 1993 fish consumption advisory for DDT. Field work for the study will be conducted during the late summer and fall of 2006. A draft technical report for stakeholder review is planned for April 2007. |
