| Short Description |
A 1987 water quality study identified stormwater, industrial effluent, and Goldsborough and Shelton Creeks as important sources of bacteria to Shelton′s inner harbor in Oakland Bay. These sources were further investigated in this study to observe the impact of winter wet weather conditions on bacteria concentrations and loading. (Also see abstract below) | |||

| Abstract | Long Description |
A 1987 water quality study identified stormwater, industrial effluent, and Goldsborough and Shelton Creeks as important sources of bacteria to Shelton′s inner harbor in Oakland Bay. These sources were further investigated in this study to observe the impact of winter wet weather conditions on bacteria concentrations and loading. Since drought conditions prevailed during the study, impact from typical wet weather conditions was not assessed. Results were consistent with the previous study, with the exception that industrial effluent is no longer a problem due to changes in operating conditions. As a result of a previous study a sanitary sewer collection system improvement program has been developed. Impact of the program is discussed. Recommendations are made for further investigation and protection of the watershed. |
