Total PAH concentrations in water (ppq) at 16
RMP stations sampled in January, April, and August
1997.
= not analyzed. Concentrations ranged from 4,100
to 234,390 ppq (see Appendix B for MDLs).
The highest concentration was sampled at Coyote
Creek (BA10) in April, and the lowest at Golden
Gate (BC20) in August. Average concentrations were
highest (94,430 ppq) in the South Bay in April and
lowest (7,565 ppq) in the Rivers in August. Six
stations were above the water quality criterion
for total PAHs from the US EPA National Toxics Rule
of 31,000 ppq in January, five in April, and five
in August. |
