Short Description

Petroleum contamination of ground water at the port of Pasco was not resulting in significant discharge of petroleum hydrocarbons to surface waters. The Port appeared to be the source of the chlorinated compounds 1, 2-dichloropropane (66 ug/L), 1, 1, 1-trichloroethane (20-21 ug/L), and tetrachloroethene (10 ug/L) detected in downstream drainage waters. The source of 1,2-dinitrophenol, pentachlorophenol, and isophorone in sediments below the Port was not clear.
