Description The Department of Ecology monitored polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from the Walla Walla and College Place Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) during 2006-2007. The goal was to better characterize PCB loading as discussed in the 2005 Total Maximum Daily Load (Water Cleanup Plan) for the Walla Walla River watershed.

The study findings indicate effluent concentrations are on track in meeting the EPA human health criterion. Both WWTPs are reducing PCB concentrations in influent to effluent samples by two orders of magnitude.

Four influent pipelines to the Walla Walla WWTP were assessed for PCB concentrations, and the relative importance of each is discussed.
