Storm Event Sampling in the Sinclair and Dyes Inlet Watershed: FY2005 Quality Assurance Project Plan
Abstract
This document presents the 2005 storm-event sampling plan for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS&IMF) Project ENVVEST. This plan has been prepared under the Project ENVVEST Final Project Agreement as a cooperative project among PSNS&IMF, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology), and technical stakeholders to help improve the environmental quality of the Sinclair and Dyes Inlet Watershed (US Navy, EPA and Ecology 2002). This sampling plan describes specific sampling activities to obtain data necessary to determine the loading and model the fate and transport of contaminants entering the receiving waters of Sinclair and Dyes Inlets (Table 1). This document identifies the objectives, procedures, and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) requirements for storm event sampling to be completed by Project ENVVEST for 2005. Upon completion of logistical planning and coordination with project participants and stakeholders, the 2005 sampling will commence in January 2005 and continue until sampling objectives are completed (June 2005). The major emphasis of the sampling will be to collect storm event samples from streams and storm water outfalls currently being monitored for flow within the watershed (Figure 1). Additional goals are to obtain data to support total loading and modeling analysis of contaminants discharged into Sinclair and Dyes Inlets, develop preliminary data on contaminant levels in nonpoint source runoff in Gorst to evaluate the potential for developing restoration alternatives, and assess the impact of storm event runoff on the water quality of the Inlets. Also, in cooperation with Ecology's Manchester Environmental Laboratory (MEL), a subset of stream and selected storm water outfalls will be screened for pesticide and herbicide compounds.
