Recent changes in contaminant levels in the Bow River following the installation of a containment system at the Canada cresote site
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:698770
In 1989, a liquid mixture of various contaminants including creosote and PCP was found seeping into the Bow River adjacent to an abandoned wood preservatives plant site in Calgary. A temporary berm was built in the river around the seepage area in 1989 and permanent barriers to contaminant flow were installed in 1995 and 1996. This report evaluates changes in water quality in the river over the two years since the containment system was installed. Contaminant levels are compared before and after installation at sites downstream and upstream from the abandoned plant. Results are presented for such compounds as naphthalene, pentachlorophenol, dibenzofuran, benzo(a)pyrene, and benzo(a)anthracene.
