Description | In summer 2020, the Department of Ecology initiated Phase 1 of a field study to address potential sources of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination in resident fish from Lake Washington, King County. During Phase 1, we assessed concentrations of PFAS in Lake Washington and in potential contaminant pathways to the lake. The Phase 1 study design included characterization of PFAS concentrations in the lake and its direct tributaries, groundwater discharges, stormwater discharges, bridge runoff, and bulk atmospheric deposition. This Quality Assurance Project Plan addendum describes the Phase 2 study design. In Phase 2, we will sample in areas of the Lake Washington watershed where we detected some of the highest PFAS concentrations and potential PFAS loading sources among the samples collected in Phase 1. The findings from this Phase 2 study will help us determine the sources and pathways of PFAS entering Lake Washington that may also be applicable to other urban watersheds. |
