| Short Description |
A Class II Inspection was conducted at the Salmon Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in Burien, on June 4-6, 1991. The effluent met NPDES permit requirements except for fecal coliform. Lead was found in effluent at a concentration slightly above the chronic marine water quality criterion. Several organic priority pollutants were also detected in the effluent. No whole effluent toxicity was indicated by rainbow trout, Daphnia magna, and Ceriodaphnia dubia bioassays. Seven volatile organic compounds, 10 base neutral acids, and 10 priority pollutant metals were detected in the sludge sample. Split sample analyses indicated a problem with fecal coliform measurement. Several recommendations were made, foremost of which was that the disinfection system be inspected and repaired as necessary. | |||
