Description Wilkeson Creek, a tributary to the Carbon River in Pierce County, is on the 1998 303(d) list for exceeding state aquatic life standards for copper. The listing is based on a copper concentration of 37 ug/L measured in a composite effluent sample from Wilkeson Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), collected in November 1995.

This re-evaluation is a more intensive study of copper in the WWTP effluent and receiving water. Eight sampling events from July through November 2000 provided data on copper concentrations, general water quality chemistry, and flow for the WWTP effluent and for Wilkeson Creek above and below the outfall.
