OSTI ID:6749769

The Puget Sound Urban Bay Action Program for Everett Harbor was initiated in 1985 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Washington State Department of Ecology and other resource management agencies. Its purpose is to identify and control toxic contamination in the Port Gardner and lower Snohomish River areas of the harbor. The document reports the results of source sampling efforts. The potential sources reviewed included: industrial facilities, wastewater treatment plants, combined sewer overflows, landfills, surface runoff pathways, groundwater, atmospheric deposition and spills. The source sampling program was designed as an initial screening survey that would identify problem chemicals in a limited number of sediments from drains discharging into Port Gardner and in groundwater samples from three monitoring wells at the Mukilteo Defense Fuel Supply Depot. More extensive sampling is needed before potential sources can be properly ranked for further investigation and control.
