| Description | Ostrich Bay, Oyster Bay, and Port Washington Narrows were placed on Washington State’s 1998 303(d) list of impaired waterbodies, based on two studies reporting exceedances of EPA human health criteria for various metals and organic contaminants in the edible tissues of crabs and clams. In formulating an approach for addressing these listings, the Washington State Department of Ecology concluded that data from those studies for antimony, bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, and several polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons may not describe current conditions and that sampling should be conducted to confirm the need for these 303(d) designations. Verification sampling was conducted during July, August, and September of 2001. |
