14 Organic Contaminants WY 2003 WY 2004 WY 2005

15 Project Schedule WY 2005 Report completed read for review WY 2006 funded by USACE/SCVWD / RMP Complete QAQC for all WYs and get the data on the WWW Write papers for Journal WY 2007 funded? Only WY 2006 currently guaranteed but everything in place for continuation RMP funding not yet discussed Future Modeling (if funding is found)? Explore transport processes in more detail Explore and predict the effects of management on Hg loads
