  10. Puget Sound Toxicant Sources Definition of COC Sources • What do we mean by Primary Source? • The source from which a COC is initially released to environmental media or released in a form which can be mobilized and transported in an environmental pathway • Examples of Primary Sources are: • PAHs from wood burning • Copper from brake pad wear • PCBs from transformer leakage • Triclopyr from roadside ditch application • PBDEs from fabric washing 1/20/2011 Draft - Preliminary Results

  11. Puget Sound Toxicant Sources Definition of COC Sources • These are Delivery Pathways, not Primary Sources: • Atmospheric deposition • Stormwater • Contaminated soil • Surface runoff • WWTPs 1/20/2011 Draft - Preliminary Results

  12. Puget Sound Toxicant Sources Sources versus Delivery • Sources versus Delivery - Distinctions are important • Control Strategy – Sources • Education • Technology • Alternatives • Bans • Control Strategy – Delivery • Technology • BMPs 1/20/2011 Draft - Preliminary Results

  13. Linking Sources ProjectObjectives • Project Objectives • Identify the primary sources of selected chemicals released to the environment • Make initial estimates of the quantity of chemicals released from each source • 110 Separate Sources • 90 Diffuse Sources • 20 Point Sources 1/20/2011 Draft - Preliminary Results

  15. Linking Sources ProjectApproach • Methods for Calculating COC Releases • Basic Formula: • COC Release per Unit x Number of Units in PS Basin • Published data for release rates (where available) • Reliance on assumptions for some variables • Wide range of confidence in assumptions • Statewide estimates already available in some cases • Example: Chemical Action Plans for Lead, Mercury, and PBDEs • TRI 1/20/2011 Draft - Preliminary Results
