8 Organic Contaminants *four samples collected in May 2003 had TPCB concentrations ranging from 890 – 6700 pg/L Item #7

9 Preliminary Loading Estimates Loads are preliminary and were estimated using Regression (REG) and Flow Weighted Mean Concentrations (FWMC). Preliminary estimates of errors are approximately ± 25%. PCBs PAHs FWMC 6 230 23 350 Item #7

10 Project Sampling Schedule WY 2006: Collect first flush data and sample storm event over 150,000 cfs WY 2007: Sample storm event over 150,000 cfs only* WY 2008: Sample storm event over 150,000 cfs only* WY 2009: Sample all floods * With RMP contingency money
