Ecology News: PCB source tracing report now posted on Ecology website

With your input, the King County Science and Technical Support Section completed the report A Review of Select PCB Source Tracing Programs this summer for Ecology. PCB source tracing programs reviewed covered Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and Spokane as well as San Francisco Bay and Delaware River Basin.
Ecology experienced website design transitions that delayed posting of the report on their website but it is now here: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/puget_sound/docs/PCBSourceTracingProgramsReport.pdf
Please share and distribute to anyone you think would be interested. One of the main objectives of the project was to facilitate information sharing. Therefore, our success is dependent on wide distribution and communication. I appreciate your efforts to assist us with this.
Keep up the good work on PCBs!

King County Dept. of Nat. Resources: PCB Source Tracing Review, Webinar July 26th, 2016

King County Department of Natural Resources has conducted a review of PCB source tracing programs in several urban areas of the northwest (Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and Spokane). Nationally they also reviewed programs in the Delaware Basin and San Francisco Bay.  This work was conducted under a interagency agreement with Ecology using funds from the National Estuary Program.

The results of this work will be presented at Ecology HQ by King County staff in Lacey on July 26 from 1:30 to 2:30 in auditorium rooms ROA 32/34.  For those not in the Lacey area who would like to attend, WebEx and a conference line will be available.
