| Short Description |
The objective of these studies of toxic chemical loadings to Puget Sound is to develop information about the relative contributions from various sources to the toxic contaminant problems contronting the Puget Sound ecosystem. This document describes the methods for evaluating wastewater discharges from ten typical publicly-owned treatment works in the Puget Sound Basin. (Also see abstract below) | |||

| Abstract | Long Description |
The objective of these studies of toxic chemical loadings to Puget Sound is to develop information about the relative contributions from various sources to the toxic contaminant problems contronting the Puget Sound ecosystem. This document describes the methods for evaluating wastewater discharges from ten typical publicly-owned treatment works in the Puget Sound Basin. Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) goals for this project are to (1) improve loading estimates for certain toxic chemicals, and (2) screen representative discharges for toxic chemicals not routinely monitored. Ecology expects the following outcomes from this project: 1. Improved estimates of loadings of pollutants from municipal wastewater dischargers due to improved detection limits and broader monitoring. 2. Additional POTW effluent input data to support operation of the Ecology Puget Sound Box Model. This QAPP describes the objectives of the study and the procedures to be followed to achieve those objectives. After completion of the study, analytical data will be uploaded to Ecology′s Environmental Information Management database and a final report describing the results will be posted to Ecology′s website. |
