Technical Report · Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 EST 1987

OSTI ID:7253825

This report represents the culmination of a two-year, three-phase effort to determine the relative impact of DOD activities on the water quality and living resource of the Chesapeake Bay. Phase I defined the recent historical and present pollution potential of all 66 DOD installations in the Bay's drainage basin, and developed a preliminary screening procedure to categorize these installations according to existing or potential impacts on the Bay and its tributaries. Phase II developed and tested a detailed assessment methodology on six installations to define the character and extent of their impact on the Bay. Phase III applied this test-bed methodology to the remaining 31 installations identified in Phase I as needing more-detailed assessment, and summarizes impacts and program recommendations from an installation, regional, and Bay-wide perspective. This volume presents summary information from this analysis.
