PCB Challenges Low-level tracing Small sources Historical contamination Not all data is comparable Air deposition “PCB-free” myth Contaminant in everyday products Regulatory limits Stormwater is a source Knowledge gaps Human dimension

Urban Waters Tools Incentives Site Cleanups Permits/Enforcement Training Facilitation Regulation Tool Development

Liberty Lake Pilot Project Purpose – Verify techniques and begin to fill CoC KNOWLEDGE gaps before entering the City of Spokane to source trace. PCB  In all media  Similar concentration in sanitary sewer and stormwater.  Higher concentration in residential sewer water than industrial sewer water.  Higher in old residential sewer water than new residential.
