| Short Description |
The potential for ground water contamination was assessed at two municipal wastewater land application sites: Fort Flagler State Park and Sequim Bay State Park. The assessments consisted of a review of existing pertinent literature and limited on-site soil and effluent sampling. Information from these assessments will be used to modify waste discharge permits for the facilities. (Also see abstract below) | |

| Abstract | Long Description |
The potential for ground water contamination was assessed at two municipal wastewater land application sites: Fort Flagler State Park and Sequim Bay State Park. The assessments consisted of a review of existing pertinent literature and limited on-site soil and effluent sampling. Information from these assessments will be used to modify waste discharge permits for the facilities. The potential for ground water contamination at Fort Flagler State Park is high. Shallow ground water underlies the discharge areas. Ground water monitoring is recommended. The potential for ground water contamination at Sequim Bay State Park is low. However, wastewater should not be applied when shallow soils are saturated and application rates should not exceed the capacity of the vegetative cover for nutrient uptake. Recommendations for Sequim Bay State Park are (1) determine effluent application rates based on infiltration capability of the soil and nutrient uptake of the cover vegetation, and (2) limit effluent application season to May through September. |
