Summary
Abstract: The Columbia River and segments of the Snake and Willamette Rivers are
currently water quality limited due to the presence of elevated levels
of 2,3,7,8-TCDD. As a result, U.S. EPA Region 10, established a Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) of 6 mg of 2,3,7,8-TCDD/day based upon state
water quality standards applicable to the Columbia River basin and the
volume of water in the Columbia River. The ... View entire text

Project
Quality Internal standards, laboratory duplicates, matrix spikes, and method
blanks were used for data evaluation. Preliminary data validation
indicates that some of the samples displayed interference with
2,3,7,8-TCDF measurements. Therefore, the analysis for some of the
samples of 2,3,7,8-TCDF and total TCDF were rejected (this is
preliminary ... View entire text
Access Constraints None
Use Constraints Users of these data should be cautioned that a preliminary data
validation performed by the U.S. EPA indicates that some of the data
for 2,3,7,8-TCDF should be qualified as unusable. These data have
been qualified using an "R" in the database.
