The purpose of this task is to determine through seasonal sampling and analyses the actual loadings of toxic chemicals through surface runoff from 16 sub-watersheds representative of four typical land use areas (residential, commercial/industrial, agricultural, and undeveloped forest/field/other). Composited baseflow and storm event samples will be analyzed for a wide spectrum of toxic chemicals.
Expected Outcome: Improved input data for Puget Sound modeling and support for implementing stormwater control actions.
The Department of Ecology's Water Quality Program will oversee this sub-task.
