A second set of samples at the Surry and Salem Nuclear Power Stations was collected in January, 1979. Water, particles suspended in the water column, and bedload sediments were sampled in both the intake and discharge zones. Samples from the water column in January were less saline and had a higher particle load, and higher copper concentrations in both soluble and particulate fractions than those collected in October, 1978. In the soluble fraction of the water, the amount of Chelex-100-labile copper was greater than ASV-labile copper; both the apparent complexing capacity and dissolved organic carbon were higher in January than in October. Most of the differences can be attributed to increased run-off from land.
