Abstract Long Description

Ecology conducted a Class II Inspection at the Longview Fibre Company in Longview, Washington, on May 7-9 and May 15, 1990. The inspection was conducted in order to evaluate compliance with the NPDES permit limits.

No violations were noted. The effluent met NPDES permit requirements for BOD5, TSS, pH, rainbow trout bioassay, and daily discharges. However, a high fecal coliform count and 30 percent Klebsiella were detected in the mill effluent stream. The fecal coliform concentration in the sanitary plant effluent was marginally higher than the monthly average limit, but lower than the daily maximum. Sanitary effluent had a residual chlorine level. Sediment samples showed no toxicity to the amphipod Hyalella azteca or to Microtox®. Total daily discharge of dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) measured in the combined bleach plant effluent was 1.9 mg. Zinc and copper exceeded the freshwater acute and chronic criteria in the outfall 001 effluent.
