Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance Debbie Burniston Spatial Distributions and temporal trends of contaminants in the St Clair R and Implications for Lake Erie Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance Debbie Burniston

WQMS programs –St. Clair R Great Lakes sediment monitoring program (GLSMP) 1996 (recently CMP) formerly GLSAP St. Clair upstream/downstream (u/d) program 1987; GLAP Areas of Concern monitoring program; GLAP ; St. Clair R. Survey 2008

St. Clair R. U/D Program Purpose: to assess the differences in water quality between the head and mouth of the river and relate these to chemical inputs from the Canadian shoreline Measure the effectiveness of source remediation activities

St. Clair R. U/D Program Two permanent sampling locations established in 1987 at the head (Point Edward) and mouth (Port Lambton) of the river Water centrifuged for dissolved and suspended solids OCs, PAHs, metals, mercury, nutrients, MI

Great Lakes sediment management program (GLSMP) Comprehensive surveys 1996-2003 (GLSAP,Chris Marvin) Synoptic work in current years funded through Chemicals Management Program (CMP) Comprehensive survey Lake Erie 2014

conclusions The St. Clair R. U/D program is an important program to show the results of remediation and management initiatives over the entire river temporally AOC monitoring identifies localized issues within an AOC GLSMP identifies the overall contaminant levels in the Great Lakes as well ,and overtime the improvements from to upstream initiatives

conclusions Most chemicals have shown substantial decrease in the St. Clair over time There are still some localized areas in the upper reaches of the river that have exceedances We can expect to see improvements in the bottom sediments of Lake Erie in upcoming surveys
