| Abstract | Long Description |
Each study conducted by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) must have an approved Quality Assurance Project Plan. The plan describes the objectives of the study and the procedures to be followed to achieve them. After completion of the study, a final report describing the results will be posted to the Internet. Ecology detected elevated mercury levels at the mouth of Leach Creek in Tacoma during routine water quality monitoring in 2007-08. The study described here will attempt to determine if specific reaches within the creek can be isolated as having significant sources of mercury. Monthly monitoring will be conducted from September 2009 through August 2010 at four locations on the creek and will include focused sampling during stormwater runoff events. Dissolved copper will also be analyzed in view of concerns about its potential impact to salmon |
