| Abstract | Long Description |
A Quality Assurance Project Plan is provided for monitoring the chlorinated pesticide, dieldrin, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in influent and effluent wastewater from the Pullman, Albion, and Colfax wastewater treatment plants. The purpose of this effort is to (1) determine whether these discharges currently exceed Washington State human health water quality criteria, and (2) assess the extent to which the contamination is internal or external to each facility. An additional sample will be taken from the landfill seepage and sediments above SYG Nursery to assess the relative importance of this source of dieldrin and PCBs. This work is being conducted as a result of wasteload allocations recently established through a Total Maximum Daily Load for the Palouse River. |
