Summary
Abstract: The Casco Bay Estuary Partnership is devoted to protecting and
restoring the water quality, and fish and wildlife habitat of the Casco Bay
ecosystem, while ensuring compatible human uses. Atmospheric deposition is a
natural process by which pollutants are transferred from air to soil, surface
water, sediment, and groundwater and potentially to living organisms. Wet and

Purpose: Develop atmospheric deposition loading estimates to guide water
quality and air quality management decisions.

Sponsor: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Materials and Methods: NADP, MDN and IMPROVE national protocols followed.
QAPP for the trace metals sampling available.

Sample Site Locations: The Study's long-term monitoring station has been

Quality NADP, MDN and IMPROVE national protocols followed. QAPP for the trace metals
sampling available.

We focused validation efforts on the Casco Bay data and performed only a
cursory review of the data from other sites. Time series plots are provided in
Appendix B. 2-10 No Casco Bay IMPROVE data were flagged. A few samples appeared
