Description | The Washington State Department of Ecology initiated a Total Maximum Daily Load for fecal coliform bacteria in North Creek, in south Snohomish County. Dry season concentrations higher than those in the wet season suggest that there is a continuous, steady component to the pollution loading. Since concentrations are relatively high during the wet season and flows are dramatically higher, there is also a storm-related component to the loading. Pollution sources in the basin are exclusively from diffuse sources (i.e., no municipal or industrial discharges). The predominant sources are agriculture, on-site disposal (septic) systems, and post-development activities attributable to urban development (e.g., domesticated animals). | ||||
