Abstract
The survey was undertaken as a part of the Public Health Service program of industrial waste studies. Studies were made of the main plant effluent and the various components that make up this waste and of the stump washer effluent, both of which discharge into the Bowie River. Special investigations were conducted and included in the report on some of the more important plant processes and wastes. Hercules Powder Company, operates 15 extractors to produce various grades of wood rosin, turpentine, pine oil, dipentene, and other terpene chemicals. The main plant effluent discharges daily 10,000 pounds of B.O.D., 5,500 pounds of suspended solids, and 12,000 pounds of dissolved solids. The data concerning this are included in the study.
