Atmospheric Deposition Strategy
in
At the September 2009 Technical Review Committee meeting, it was requested that RMP staff develop a strategy for assessing atmospheric loads to the Estuary. Interest in atmospheric loads is driven by recent studies that suggest atmospheric loads of some contaminants such as mercury can be significant. Because it is difficult to accurately measure atmospheric deposition, the Committee recommended that a strategy be developed that articulates which contaminants should be included and how the loading will be measured.
