Abstract
This report presents the result of sampling and analysis of influent, effluent and sludge of publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) and the water and sediment of their receiving waters for 13 heavy metals and 115 synthetic organic compounds (the 'priority pollutants' resulting from settlement agreement reprinted in NRD.C. vs. Train 8 ERC 2120, 2122-29, D.D.C. 1976). The influents to 8 POTWs in Virginia were screened for the priority pollutants, and the Richmond and Culpeper POTWs were revisited for sampling of influent, effluent, sludge and receiving waterbody water and sediment. At Culpeper 37 priority pollutants were detected and, at Richmond, 34, with 31 common to both sites. The report contains qualitative and semi-quantitative data on priority pollutant concentrations, and extensive reproductions of GC-MS total ion chromatograms to facilitate comparisons among POTWs.
