2001 Marine Monitoring Report
King County conducts an extensive water quality monitoring program on Puget Sound. This routine monitoring is done to verify that the treated effluent from King County's three wastewater treatment facilities does not degrade the water quality in the vicinity of the effluent outfalls. Additionally, ambient monitoring which focuses on areas outside the immediate vicinity of known discharges assess background conditions in central Puget Sound. Additional monitoring was conducted in 2001 to support the planning process of the new regional wastewater treatment plant in southern Snohomish County.
The results of the 2001 monitoring effort which includes general water quality parameters, metals, pesticides, semi-volatile organics, PCBs, and bacteria in water column, sediment, algae, and shellfish samples are reported here, in electronic format.
