| Description | Twenty-one water samples and five sediment samples were collected from the Squalicum Creek watershed between November 2002 and June 2003. Fourteen herbicides and five metals were detected in water. Diazinon, MCPP, mercury, and zinc were detected above water quality standards. Thirty-three semi-volatile organic carbon compounds, #2 diesel, lube oil, and five metals were detected in sediment. Five semi-volatile organic carbon compounds and zinc were above recommended freshwater sediment quality values, and lube oil was detected at high concentrations. Study results will be used by the Whatcom Watershed Pledge program to educate residential, commercial, and industrial groups and to reduce pollution sources. | ||||
