| Description |
In 2009, the Department of Ecology sampled 6 sites on the Snake River and analyzed 60 samples from 10 species of resident fish. Many species had elevated levels of contaminants in fillet tissue, particularly catfish, carp, and northern pikeminnow. Differences in contaminant levels in fish among sites or over time were not detected.
All sites warrant assignment to the 303d list because they do not meet water quality standards for one or more of these contaminants: PCBs, dioxins/furans, dieldrin, toxaphene, 4,4’-DDE, 4,4’-DDD, and hexachlorobenzene. Washington’s Department of Health will review results to determine whether fish consumption advice is warranted. |
