Short Description

A Class II inspection was conducted on May 2, 3, and 4, 1988, at Kalama Chemical, Inc. (KC). KC is an organic chemical manufacturer discharging both noncontact cooling water and treated process wastewater through a common outfall line into the Columbia River as permitted by NPDES Permit No. WA-000028-1. Discharge during the inspection met most NPDES limits. The process wastewater discharge exhibited acute toxicity at the 100 percent concentration in the trout, Daphnia, and Ceriodaphnia bioassays. A clear cause was not determined. Bioassay (Hyallela azteca) survival in the inspection sediments equaled or exceeded control sediment survival in all three samples.
