  3. Past and Projected Dioxin and Furan Emissions in the US (Peek et al 2002) Draft Data – Do not cite or quote

  4. Sources of Dioxins and Furan Emissions in the San Francisco Bay Area (BAAQMD 2002) g TEQ/year Draft Data – Do not cite or quote

  5. Stormwater is the Dominant Pathway High uncertainty due to lack of data Draft Data – Do not cite or quote

  6. Local Watershed/Stormwater Data • 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during one storm event • High variability in dioxin concentrations Wenning et al. 1999 and SFRWQCB 1997 Draft Data – Do not cite or quote

  7. Draft Data – Do not cite or quote Wenning et al. 1999

  8. 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?

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

  17. 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
