DRAFT Who We Are 6/4/2016srrttf.org2

DRAFT The Issue The Spokane River fails to meet Washington’s water quality standards for toxics, including PCBs 6/4/2016srrttf.org3

DRAFT Our Vision We will work collaboratively to characterize the sources of toxics in the Spokane River and identify and implement appropriate actions needed to make measurable progress towards meeting applicable water quality standards for the State of Washington 6/4/2016srrttf.org4

DRAFT What Are PCBs? Polychlorinated biphenyl A family of industrial compounds noted primarily as an environmental pollutant that accumulates in animal tissue Good insulating properties and fire resistance Used in transformers, motor oil, hydraulic fluids First produced in 1927 and stopped producing in 1977 Estimated global inventory of 1.5 million tons 6/4/2016srrttf.org5

DRAFT Health and Environmental Impacts of PCBs Health impacts Skin ailments, liver damage, neurological effects, suspected carcinogen Environmental impacts Bioaccumulative and toxic, does not biodegrate, concentrates in fish, affects wildlife and people that eat fish 6/4/2016srrttf.org6

DRAFT Health and Environmental Impacts of PCBs EPA allows maximum of 50 ppm of PCBs in products and are labeled “non” PCB Inks, dyes, pigments Caulks and paints Motor oil 6/4/2016srrttf.org7

DRAFT Health and Environmental Impacts of PCBs Remediation work by Task Force members has reduced PCB levels in the Spokane Level by 50% since the 1990’s 95% reduction is needed by all sources to meet water quality standards 6/4/2016srrttf.org8
