An Assessment of the Environmental Impacts from the Discharge of Bilge Water in the Norfolk Naval Station Harbor

Abstract

The overall objective of this report was to perform a risk assessment of the environmental impacts caused by the discharge of BW in the harbor at the Norfolk Naval Station in Norfolk, Virginia. The specific objectives were: estimate the daily production of BW from a representative fleet in port during peacetime operations; summarize the concentrations of pollutants in typical bilge water (BOD, COD, fecal coliform, heavy metals, oil and grease, etc.), based on available data; determine a representative depth and volume for Naval Station harbor.
