Item #1 PCBs and PBDEs at Mallard Island MODIS 250km True Color Image | January 9, 2006
Item #1 Modified Methods for PBDEs and PCBs • Use SSC data from USGS from 1995 to present • Not applicable for PCBs and PBDEs • 2. Use instantaneous SSC and contaminant data • to develop a regression relationship (WY 2005-2006) • Estimate 15 minute contaminant concentrations • Calculate daily average concentrations • Use linear interpolation to fill data gaps • Regression not valid, use FWMC • 6. Combine estimated daily concentrations with • Delta Outflow to estimate daily advective loads • Correct loads for the effect of tidal influence • and dispersion
