Ecology Announcement: Draft QAPP Available for Review

The Department of Ecology is providing technical assistance to the Spokane River Toxics Task Force. The Agency has drafted a Quality Assurance Project Plan for assessing PCBs in biofilms, sediment, and invertebrates in the Spokane River. The Task Force has been asked to provide feedback on the draft plan because this is a specific project the Task Force requested Ecology’s Environmental Assessment Program to conduct.

If you are a member of the Task Force, or a contracted technical review team for the Task Force, please provide your feedback to Siana Wong (swon461@ecy.wa.gov) by Aug. 16, 2018.

The draft Quality Assurance Project Plan is available for review:

Agenda: Objective 1. Design a study (data/models) that will further our understanding of what is causing the PCB concentrations in fish that we are observing in the river.  Determine the source(s) and avenues of exposure so that we can focus future efforts on controls that will likely lead to a reduction in concentrations of PCBs in fish tissue.
