| Abstract | A chemical and biological study is described for a Connecticut estuary receiving 0.25-0.50 MGD of treated sewage effluent prior to construction of a secondary treatment plant with a projected flow of 5-6 MGD. An adjacent, unpolluted cove was used as a control. Three stations in each estuary were sampled bi-weekly from September 1970 to June 1972. Analyses included temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, B.O.D., nitrate, and phosphate. Counts were made of total bacteria, total and fecal coliforms, fecal streptococci, phytoplankton, and benthic invertebrates. |
