| Short Description |
Six discharges to Wheeler Osgood Waterway were sampled to determine if they are current sources of copper, lead, arsenic, zinc, 4-methylphenol, and dichlorobenzenes. Metals concentrations were similar to those typically seen in urban runoff (Also see abstract below) | |||

| Abstract | Long Description |
Six discharges to Wheeler Osgood Waterway were sampled to determine if they are current sources of copper, lead, arsenic, zinc, 4-methylphenol, and dichlorobenzenes. Metals concentrations were similar to those typically seen in urban runoff. 4-Methylphenol was detected at 2.3 ug/L in the Western Steel Fabricators Drain sample; 1,2 dichlorobenzene was detected at an estimated concentration of 0.7 ug/L in Wheeler Osgood Storm Drain. Based on a single sampling, it cannot be determined if these data are typical of discharges to the waterway, or are sufficient sources of 4-methylphenol and 1,2-dichlorobenzene to be responsible for contamination found in earlier studies in Wheeler Osgood sediments. |
