2010 Water Quality Assessment MARINE WATER Presented by Mike Herold

What is it? The Clean Water Act requires that states submit a status of their waters (called the 305(b) Report), as well as a list of Polluted Waters (the 303(d) list). This Assessment is an “Integrated Report” that meets these two requirements.

How does Ecology put the Assessment together? 1.We develop policies to help determine when a water is chronically polluted or showing signs of pollution 2.We compile all credible water quality data we can, from many different groups 3.We assess the data by comparing it to state water quality criteria to see if we have problems. 4.We report the results to EPA, including a category of waters that is the 303(d) List.

What are the Categories? Category 1: Meets tested standards-- Waters in this category are clean for the criteria they were tested for. Category 2: Waters of concern--Some evidence of a water quality problem, but not enough to require a TMDL or clean-up plan. Category 3: Insufficient or no data

Categories (con’t) Category 4 –4A TMDL has been completed to address listing –4B another pollution control program has been developed & implemented to address listing of water body –4C non pollutant listings (habitat impairments) Category 5 – water grid is impaired; this category is the 303(d) list

What were the Marine Water Results? 2004 –Category marine water grids –Category 4A 14 marine water grids 2008 –Category marine water grids –Category 4A 37 marine water grids 2010 draft –Category marine water grids –Category 4A 40 marine water grids

What were the Marine Water Results? 2010 draft –Category marine water grids –Toxics 270 marine water grids –Dissolved Oxygen141 marine water grids –Bacteria 154 marine water grids –Category 4A 40 marine water grids –Category marine water grids –Category marine water grids

King County Category 5 Listings

Export as Excel from Query Tool

A New Listing for Toxics

A New Listing for Mercury

Marine - Bacteria

Marine - Toxics

Marine – Dissolved Oxygen

Results More overall toxics and sediment listings Delaying some dissolved oxygen final calls until Puget Sound model is available Overall improvements from direct involvement by Ecology technical staff in the assessment

What’s Next? Release draft for 60 day public review, mid June Conduct public workshops, July Release response to comments and candidate list to EPA, October 2011

Then What? 2012 Assessment will focus on fresh water data Call for data June 2011, Data input workshops, July New freshwater segment system using hydrographic basis

Any Questions? Thank you!
