Local Watershed/Stormwater Data Wenning et al. 1999 and SFRWQCB 1997 1995-1996 wet season Runoff from 2 storm events at 13 outfalls in Bay Area Hourly sampling of storm drains from 2 sites (Oakland and Benicia) during one storm event High variability in dioxin concentrations Draft Data – Do not cite or quote

Direct Atmospheric Deposition Data Based on limited BAAQMD data set? California Ambient Dioxin Air Monitoring Program Administered by CARB Data from December 2002-2004/2005 Ambient monitoring for dioxins and dioxin-like compounds at multiple locations statewide Focuses on urban areas 5 sites in SF Bay area Identification of potential sources Direct deposition data?

Sources of Uncertainty in Loading Estimates Limited data Chemical analysis Congeners below detection limits Extrapolation to other facilities, tributaries, etc. Erosion of buried sediment

2000 NOAA EMAP Sediment data 56 sites throughout the Bay EPA: Concentrations were quite low as compared to other bays and harbors near large metropolitan areas. Dominated by higher chlorinated congeners Many lower chlorinated congeners < MDL
