                    PROCEDURE FOR STUDY MODIFICATIONS




    The research project described in this document has not been conducted, as




far as we know, on a geographic scale now being attempted.  In no small way it




encompasses the cutting edge  of  several  facets  of research regarding the fate




of toxic substances in large aquatic ecosystems.  For these reasons, the plan,




as such, must be flexible.  However, the successful outcome of the study requires




a closely coordinated,  multimedia and multidisciplinary effort, it is therefore




essential that individual investigators or agencies do not unilaterlaly modify




schedules or procedures.   The following  procedure will be  followed prior to




modification of any element of the Green  Bay/Fox  River  Mass Balance Study.




     1. Proposals  for study modifications will be made in writing to the Chairman




of the Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC).




     2. The  TCC, after consultation with the appropriate operational committees,




will make the  final determination on proposals  of a technical nature which do




not impact study or agency resources.




     3. When   resources  are  impacted,  or  modifications  involve   other  than




technical issues,  the TCC will raise the issue to the Management Committee for




resolution.




     When modifications have been approved they will  be incorporated into the




Study Plan.

                                INTRODUCTION




     In a mass  balance approach,  the law of  conservation  of mass is applied  in




the evaluation  of the sources, transport,  and fate of  contaminants.   This,  in




turn,  allows informal prioritization and allocation of  research,  remedial  actions




and regulatory efforts for water quality management.   The  approach requires  that




the quantities  of  contaminants entering  the  system,  less  quantities  stored,




transformed or degraded within  the system, must equal  the  quantities leaving the




system.  Once  a mass balance budget has been established  for each pollutant  of




concern, the long-term effects  on water quality of the lakes  can be simulated  by




mathematical modeling.




     Mass balance  modeling has been  successfully applied to the regulation  of




nutrient loads in the Great Lakes during the  past decade.  However, the sources,




pathways, and sinks for organic and inorganic toxic substances  (toxics) are  less




well understood.  It  is, therefore, necessary to pilot the mass  balance approach




for toxics in a smaller ecosystem prior to expansion to  whole lake situations.




Toxicants of interest  include  PCBs  (at  the  congener level),   dieldrin,  lead, and




cadmium as representatives of classes  of compounds.  The  physical/chemical models




will be coupled with a food chain model to allow estimation of body burdens  (Figure




1). The integrated model will then be used to predict concentrations in  the water,




sediment, and  biota  in response  to  differing  regulatory  and  remedial  action




scenarios.    The  predictions   will  include  long-term  extrapolation   from  the




short-term calibration.




     The bay of Green Bay,  Lake  Michigan, will serve as the  study site.   Green Bay




can be characterized as a long,  relatively shallow extension  of northwestern Lake




Michigan  (Figure  2).   The  Green  Bay  watershed drains .land surfaces  in  both




Wisconsin and Michigan, and  contains about  one-third  of the  total Lake Michigan




drainage basin.   The lower bay and Fox River have been recognized as a polluted

water system.  The  Fox River Valley  is  heavily industrialized  and  contains the




largest concentration of pulp and paper  industries in the world.




     The hydrodynamics of the bay  are generally controlled by rotational, wind,




and barometric forces.  Currents tend to be counterclockwise with two main gyres




in the upper and lower bay.   Currents are heavily influenced by seiche activity,




particularly in its southern portion.   Central and northern portions of the bay




are known to stratify.




     Presently  the  bay ranges  from hypereutrophic  in  the southern  portion to




mesotrophic-oligotrophic  near  the  Lake   Michigan  interface.    The  extreme




productivity in the southern basin results in deposition of organic material and




associated hypolimnetic oxygen depletion in the central bay.




     Toxic organic materials in the  water,  sediment,  and biota of Green Bay has




adversely impacted  both  utilization and management of the Bay's  fishery.   The




commercial fisheries in the  Bay, with the exception of yellow perch, are severely




restricted by  PCB contamination, and consumption  advisories have been issued to




anglers for most sport species.   Due to  exceedingly high PCB levels  in all sizes,




the commercial carp fishery has been closed by WDNR for the past 5 years.  Fish




eating  birds have  experienced  reproductive  failure and  increased  deformities




apparently related to  PCB  contamination.  The Fox River is estimated to contribute




600-1200 Kg  of PCBs annually to the bay.  Sediment contributions  of PCBs to the




water column within the bay are presently unknown.




     The Green Bay Mass Balance Study (GBMBS)  is  intended  to provide  information




to aid and support regulatory activities.  However,  its major goal is to  (1)  carry




out a detailed mass balance of Great Lakes toxic substances, notably individual PCB




compounds or congeners in Green  Bay,  and (2) based on the mass  balance data,  apply




predictive tools that  will aid resource  managers evaluate the impact of management




decisions.  The GBMBS  will serve as a pilot for future modeling studies of  Great

-------
 Lakes  ecosystems.   The  Green Bay  Project will  engage numerous  investigators




 involved in project design,  field  collection,  analysis and processing  of data,




 quality  assurance,  data management  and modeling activities.   The project will be




 coordinated by the USEPA  Great  Lakes  National Program  Office  (GLNPO),  Chicago,




 Illinois.    Modeling  activities will  be facilitated  by the  USEPA Large  Lakes




 Research Station.




     The Green Bay Mass Balance Study Plan (GBMBSP)  is intended primarily  as  a




 communication  device to link the activities of the standing technical  committees




 ie. Field and Technical  Operations Committee (FTO),  Modeling Committee (MOD), Field




 and Analytical Methods  Committee (FAM),  and the Biological  Committee  (BC)  to the




 required actions  of the Technical  Coordination Committee  and ultimately  to the




 Management  Committee.   It will serve  to both  guide the direction  of  the  entire




 research effort and also to monitor  the progress of the various "study components"




 and their attendent "work  elements."   The basis for the  study  plan  eminates  from




 past research  efforts,  the original Green  Bay Mass Balance Work Plan  (October,




 1986), activities and reports of the Technical Committees since that time, project




 proposals from various agencies for particular work elements and several  planning




 workshops.




     The study plan has  been organized to help insure that the data and information




 necessary to construct  a  mass balance  for PCBs,  dieledrin,  cadmium,   and  lead




 (hereafter referred to as target chemicals) in Green Bay become available for model




 development  in  an orderly fashion. Essentially,  the  study plan is a design  to




 gather the data needed to construct and drive the mass balance model.









Risk Assessment and Mass Balance Models




     Ultimately,  toxic  substances  are  evaluated in terms  of  the  risk  posed to




humans or other living organisms.  The hazard posed to a natural water system by

-------
a toxic chemical is governed by the uptake of the chemical by the resident biota




and subsequent acute and chronic health  effects.  Evaluation of the risk involves




three basic steps:




     1)  estimation of the chemical concentrations  in the water and sediment




     2)  estimation of the rate of uptake of chemical by segments of the




         resident biota




     3)  estimation of the toxicity resulting from  uptake of the chemical




     The GBMBSP considers  only the first  two steps of this risk assessment process,




the third step goes beyond the  bounds  of the  project.  Execution  of the first two




steps  requires  consideration of  the  transport, transfer,  and  reaction  of the




chemical and  the dependence of  these processes on properties  of  the affected




natural water  system and  its  biota  (Figure  1) .   Based  on  experimentation and




theoretical development each process has  been,  or can be,  described mathematically,




specifying its functional  dependence on specific properties.  These expressions may




be combined using  the principle  of conservation of  mass  to  form a mathematical




model that addresses one of the steps  in the risk assessment.




     Steps 1 and 2 of this risk assessment are addressed by the  general modeling




framework entitled WASPIV, an  acronym for Water Quality Analysis Simulation for




TOXics.  This modeling framework  is composed  of  two  parts  which may be  termed the




exposure concentration (physical-chemical) and food chain components, respectively.




The exposure concentration component of  WASPIV is the computational structure for




applying step 1 to a  specific natural water system.  The  food chain component of




WASPIV is the  computational  structure for applying  step 2 to a  specific natural




water system.




     The physical-chemical model simulates water  column response to various loading




scenarios.   The physical-chemical model is then coupled with a food chain model,




eutrophication model  and  solids  model to simulate  biotic response to different

-------
toxic loading scenarios.  The biological end points chosen for Green Bay are tissue




residues in various size classes of three fish species: walley, brown  trout, and




common  carp.    From simulations,  the  optimal strategy  for remediation  may be




determined.  Expected  biological end  points will  be  predicted  target chemical




concentrations found in the three species of fish.




      Substantial "front end" planning has gone into the Green Bay Mass Balance.




Reconnaisance level modeling has been conducted to evaluate and rank the impact of




the various state variables  and  coefficients on model output.  Surogate  parameters




have  been used  to model  and  optimize tributary  load monitoring  as well as




collection frequency and station location in Green Bay proper.  Additional studies




have been undertaken to identify those  tributaries requiring load monitoring and




to delineate  the  forage  base for the target species.   The original goal  of the




Green Bay Mass Balance was to predict concentrations of PCB, dieldrin, Pb and Cd




in walleye, brown trout and  carp to within one half order of magnitude in order to




make the model useful  in management decisions.  It is estimated that this level of




accuracy (or better) will be achieved if major loading sources and compartments are




monitored within + 20-30% of the mean values.  The tributary,  atmospheric and open




bay portions of this plan are designed to meet this + 20-30% criteria.

-------
                          STUDY PLAN ORGANIZATION




     The GBMBSP is partitioned into six major divisions, each reflecting particular




requirements to develop the mass balance model.   These divisions are:




                    I.   Inputs




                   II.   Outputs




                  III.   Active Pools and Interfaces




                   IV.   Biota




                    V.   Quality Assurance and Data Handling




                   VI.   Administration




     Divisions  are  further  subdivided  into  particular  "study  components"  eg.




Tributary loading, point  source loading,  atmospheric loading,  etc.   Each study




component is  made  up of  particular  "work elements" necessary  to  satisfy model




development and operation.




     The format of the  study plan consists of an  abreviated narrative for each




study component addressing:




       -- sampling design, experimental  procedures or information gathering




          activities




       -- responsible agency or individual to conduct study




       - - funding source




     Details of individual work elements for particular study components will be




contained in separate appendices and will  be  used as  the basis of quality control




and quality assurance review and will ultimately direct  the  field efforts.  The




GBMBSP is of necessity a dynamic plan since particular work elements will be  phased




in and out  over a period of years, thus changing the action and progress status of




these work  elements.   In order  to  keep all parties  informed about the current




status  of   particular  work  elements,   a  flow  sheet  containing  all  pertinent

-------
 information  will be updated and  circulated  to  all interested parties  every  two




 months.  A narrative summary noting changes will accompany the flow sheet.

 I.   INPUTS




     Previous  studies  indicate  that the  Fox River  contributes  over 80 percent of




 the  total PCB  tributary load to Green Bay.  Other tributaries known to contribute




 PCBs include the Oconto,  Peshtigo, Menominee and Escanaba Rivers.  Tributaries have




 not  recently been sampled  for dieldrin or other  target  toxicants.   Consequently,




 a reconnaissance survey was conducted  to  identify those tributaries for which load




 monitoring will be required.  Sampling was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey




 starting in  July, 1987,  on the following tributaries  to Green Bay:  Duck Creek,




 Suamico River, Ford River,  Days  River, Rapid River, Whitefish River, Wilson River,




 and  Fishdam River.  The Oconto, Peshtigo,  Menominee and  Escanaba Rivers were  not




 sampled because  they have  already been determined  to be  sources of PCBs and will




 require  monitoring.   Separate sampling was done for  dieldrin  on  Egg  Harbor




 tributary,  Keger  Creek, and the Red Riverbecause a likely source of dieldrin  may




 be from orchard areas surrounding these  streams.




     Based on  the findings of the  reconnaissance survey,  the  Menominee,  Escanaba,




 Oconto, Peshtigo, and Fox River, (Figure  2) will be monitored to determine loading




 of target chemicals into Green Bay.









A. 1.  Tributaries




     Sampling  frequencies  for different  rivers  varies  according to volume  flows




and the delivery  of suspended  solids.   The Peshtigo,  Oconto and Escanaba Rivers




will be sampled once monthly.  Duplicate  samples will be collected on six trips.




The Menominee River will be sampled thirty-four (34) times during  the open water

-------
period and four  (4) times during the winter.  A total of 16  duplicate sampales will




be taken.




     Water and suspended sediments will be sampled with a high-capacity submersible




pump.   The samples will  be  integrated over depth  and cross-section.   For PCB




analysis, samples will be filtered (glass fiber filter) and extracted at the sample




site.  Extracts from prefliters and filters will be combined to produce one com-




posite particulate  extract per  sample.  Dissolved phase organics will be extracted




using XAD-2 resin columns.  PCB analyses will identify specific congeners as well




as quantify particulate and dissolved fractions.   In addition to the other target




chemicals, water samples will be analyzed for several  variables  (see  Table 1).




     Daily suspended sediment  loads  will be  determined for each tributary using




continuous discharge data and daily or weekly suspended sediment samples.  Daily




samples  will  be collected by  automated sampler on the Peshtigo,  Menominee and




Escanaba Rivers, while weekly  or  daily high-flow samples  will  be collected by a




local observer at the Oconto River.

A.2.  Contaminant Loading from the Fox River




     An accurate  determination of  the  particulate and  dissolved load  of PCBs




transported into Green Bay by the Fox River is an essential  component  of the Green




Bay/Fox River Mass Balance  Project.   It  is  feasible  to estimate the PCB load from




the Fox River by computing  the  load  at the  DePere Dam and adding the  point source




inputs downstream  in addition to nonpoint source  and sediment  flux estimates.




These data are then used in conjunction with the application of hydrodynamic and




water quality models to the Fox River.   However,  the lower  reach of the Fox River




is affected  by  seiche and  wind which  results  in bi-directional   flow.   This




hydrodynamic complexity and  the  wide range of possible  loadings  from the point




sources, nonpoint  sources,  and  in-place  sediments can  result  in significantly




different estimates of the contaminant load to Green Bay.  Consequently, two methods




of estimating the Fox River load are proposed.  Both methods involve measurement




and modeling.  The first method (A.3)  involves measurement  of loads at the DePere




Dam and modeling of the gradients of concentrations in the Fox River and Green Bay




to determine loading.  The second method (A.4) involves measurement  of flows and




concentrations at the Fox  River mouth and modeling  of the chloride concentrations




(or other tracers) to determine which river mouth measurements represent  upstream




and downstream fluxes.  Comparison of the  two methods of load estimation will be




used to determine which method would be  more useful and practical  to  undertake on




a larger scale.









A.3.   Contaminant Loading -- Fox Rlver/DePere Dam




     This method requires  an estimate of contaminant loading at  the DePere  Dam as




a boundary condition to drive a model for the Lower  Fox River.  The U.S. Geological




Survey will sample water 8.04 miles upstream of the mouth on the  upstream side of




the dam 39 times during the open water season and 3 times during the winter period.
                                        12

-------
The modeling effort will  also use six stations in the river  (Figure  3) between the




DePere Dam  and the mouth to collect  depth integrated water  samples  which will




coincide with the open bay sampling surveys.




     Three stations (numbered 50 - 55) will be sampled three times (every 8 hours)




during a 24 hour period as part of the Green Bay Mass Balance  October  Survey.

          Station 53 located on the East River will be sampled at a single point,




     mid-channel, mid-depth.   The remaining five stations will be sampled  from




     mid-depth  at  three points  along a  transect perpendicular  to  the  river,




     mid-channel and 1/3 the channel width on each side.




     Compositing:




          Equal volumes of water will be  collected  from each of the 3 sampling




     sites along the transect  to provide  a  composite volume sufficient  for the




     measurement of the parameters described in  Table  1 of the variables to be




     measured.

-------
       Filtered Water Collection:




            Station 53 will be sampled 3 times during the 24 hour period.  At each




       of the 3  samplings 18 Liters of river water will be pumped through 2 Whatman




       GF/F filters (293 mm)  and the filtered water collected  in  a  glass carboy.




       Upon return  to  the R/V Simons the  18  Liters of filtered water will be pumped




       through  an XAD resin column extracting  the organic compounds from the water.




       The same XAD column will  be  used  to  extract  each  of  the  3 collections from




       station  53.   The  XAD column will represent  a composite  organic  extraction




       sample  for  the 24 hour  period.   The 6  filters  used during the  24  hour




       collection period at station 53 will be wrapped in foil,  labeled and placed




       in a plastic zip-lock bag and  frozen.




       At each of the remaining 5 stations 6 Liters  of river water will be filtered




 at each  of the 3 sampling points along the  station  transect and the filtered water




 composited in a glass carboy providing 18 Liters of filtered water.  The 18 Liters




 of filtered water  and 2  filters shall be treated as described for station 53.




     Net tows  as  described in  the biological work plan shall be collected once




 during the  24 hour period at stations 50,  51, 52,  54 and 55.




     It  will  also  be necessary to  estimate  the   flux  of  contaminants  from  the




 sediments.  Surficial contaminant concentrations will be measured at 25-30 stations




 in the lower river and fluxes estimated at  three stations 3 times during the  field




 season.  Fluxes will be  estimated at  those stations having the highest contaminant




 concentrations.  Estimates of point  sources  and urban non-point sources will be




 required  (see I.E., D.,  E.,  and F.).









A.4.   Contaminant  loading -- Fox River/Mouth




     Transport of contaminants (target chemicals)  from the  Fox  River to Green Bay




will be  determined  for the  period  March 1989 to  February  1990.    The  field
                                       15

-------
water-quality sampling site for this element is  at  the mouth of  the  Fox River and




is  downstream of  all  but one  point  source  discharger  (GBMSD).    Continuous




streamflow data  will  be available  from the USGS Acoustic Velocity Meter  (AVM)




gaging station located 0.75 miles upstream from the mouth.




     For the purpose of contaminant load estimates,  routine water  samples will be




collected on 36 days (33 open water and 3 winter) at the mouth  of the Fox River.




A total of 86 replicate samples will be taken.  Intensive sampling events will also




occur at the mouth with the following frequency:




              Spring High Flow -  14 days,  2 samples/day




              Summer Low Flow -   14 days,  2 samples/day




              Fall Medium Flow -  14 days,  2 samples/day




     In addition,  automated pump samplers will be  installed at the mouth to collect




a minimum of  three  samples per day at  two  depths  (0.2  and  0.8  times the normal




total depth).  Samples will be analyzed for total and volatile  suspended solids and




chloride.  The solids  data will be used to compute the suspended  sediment load




transported by the Fox River into Green Bay. The solids concentrations will also




be statistically evaluated to determine their relationship to PCB  concentrations.




Chloride data will be  used  to  track migration of water from Green Bay into the Fox




River estuary during periods of flow reversal.  Continuous monitoring for dissolved




oxygen,  temperature, conductivity  and pH will  be done  at 0.2 and 0.8 times the




total depth.




     The field sampling and organic extraction procedure will be  the  same as  those




used for tributary sampling.  The channel section at  the mouth will be divided into




a  minimum of  three  approximately equal  flow  cells  with  the  cell centroids




identified on a  field map  or by  Loran-C  coordinates.   At each  of  the cell




centroids, water  samples, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity,  temperature, velocity




and flow directions will be obtained at 0.2 and 0.8 times the total  depth.

B.  Point Sources




     The potential exists for all paper mills and some municipalities to  discharge




PCBs.  The discharge of PCBs from point sources  to the Fox River has primarily been




attributed  to  paper mills  recycling wastepaper.    There are  seven major  point




sources between the DePere Dam  and  the  mouth of the Fox River.  An  additional  2




dischargers are located above the monitoring station on other  tributaries.  These




nine point source dischargers will be monitored to determine the PCB loads.   Seven




dischargers will be monitored quarterly and two will be monitored monthly.  Both




influent  and effluent  samples  will be  obtained   so  that net  loading  can be




determined.




     Samples will  be  taken  by  the  individual  dischargers and  will be 24-hour




composites.  Dischargers will be directed to  collect the  samples  to  coincide with




river  surveys  when  possible  and  also  to  provide  continuous  discharge  flow




measurements.  Samples will be iced  and  shipped to the Wisconsin  State Laboratory




of Hygiene for  analyses.  Total  sample size will be  1-4 liters.   It is anticipated




that this  sample  size will provide  levels  of  detection of about 2-12  ng/L for




individual  PCB  congeners.    PCB analysis will be   done  on the  particulate and




dissolved  fraction.    Analysis  will also  be   conducted for  the  other  target




contaminants.

C.   Atomosphere




      Three  atmospheric  sampling  stations  will  be used  to  quantitate  target




chemical loads to  Green  Bay.   These will include  a Master Station comprised of




three wet precipitation collectors  with XAD-2 columns, two  directionally operated




high  volume dry  air  samplers  with  absorbent  columns  to  quantify  vapor  and




particulate phase  PCBs as well as  other target chemicals.   Additional "Master




Station" equipment will  also  include  a high volume collector dedicated to total




suspended particulate and organic carbon,  two cascade impactors and a meterological




tower providing  hourly  data  on wind  speed,  direction, humidity, temperature,




precipitation,  and solar  radiation.  Organic  samples will be taken every 6 days for




dry deposition and every  2 weeks plus  events  for precipitation (see Table 1 for




other variables  to be measured) .   The  Master Station will be  located  on the




University of Wisconsin-Green  Bay campus approximately one-half mile inland on the




east bay shore.




     Routine monitoring  stations will  also  be located at  Fayette State Park in




Upper Michigan and Peninsula  State Park  in Door County,   Wisconsin.   Each will




provide  trace  organics from  precipitation  on a two  week  basis.   In addition,




routine  sites include  two wind  directionally  operated high volume samplers with




XAD-2 resin cartridges for collection of trace organics in ambiant air  every sixth




day for a twenty-four  (24) hour period.

 D.   Evaluation  of  Potential  Contribution of PCBs from Selected Landfills




      Numerous  waste  disposal  sites  are located  in  the  Lower  Fox River and Green




 Bay  watersheds.  Present day regulations require the selection of environmentally




 compatible  sites and  use of  engineering controls such as  impermeable clay liners




 and  leachate collection systems.   Earlier landfills did  not benefit  from  such




 planning.   Most of these early sites were  inappropriate for waste disposal.   The




 Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR)  has inventoried the landfill and




 waste disposal sites within the Green Bay/Fox River mass  balance study area.  There




 are  16 abandoned landfills  within this  area.  Several of the sites have monitoring




 wells installed, although  in most cases the number of  wells is  insufficient  to




 adquately evaluate  the site.




     There are three sites along the Fox River below  the DePere Dam and along lower




 Green Bay which have monitoring wells.  Samples will be collected from these wells




 and  analyzed for  PCBs,  dieldrin, lead and  cadmium.  Approximately  6  monitoring




 wells exist at each site.   During 1988-89, a total of 30  samples will be obtained.




 Some wells  will be  sampled once.  Others will be sampled more  often,  since wells




 which are definitely not appropriate will not be sampled.




     A separate research project has been developed to design a monitoring  and




 evaluation protocol for waste disposal areas which do not currently have monitoring




wells. This  proposal  is being  considered  for inclusion  in WDNR's 1989-91  budget




 request.   If funded, this project would develop methodology which would be  applied




 to further monitoring  and evaluation  of landfill  sites in  the  Lower  Fox River  and




Green Bay area.

-------
E.  Evaluation of Potential Contribution of PCBs from Urban Areas




      Estimates of  PCB,  dieldrin,  cadmium and  lead loading from  the  Green Bay




Metropolitan Area will be done  in two phases.  The first phase will  be a unit area




load calculation based on existing data applied to  the  land use types found in




Green Bay.   A large  data  base exists for cadmium and lead in urban nonpoint source




runoff.  Unit area load calculations should provide accurate loading estimates for




these parameters.  Less  information is available for PCB and dieldrin.




     With respect to dieldrin,  a unit area load calculation will not be performed.




In urban nonpoint source  studies,  dieldrin is seldom detected and when detected its




source is residential areas.   Since dieldrin is  banned as  a pesticide and has not




been detected to date in pre-surveys,  it will  be assumed that urban areas are not




significant sources of dieldrin to the lower Fox River and to Green Bay.




      PCB concentrations  in urban stormwater runoff have been determined in several




studies.  The results obtained from the Nationwide Urban Runoff Program have been




applied to the Green Bay  area.  PCB concentration in all but one out of  120 samples




collected in commercial  and residential areas in Milwaukee  and other cities were




below detection limits (0.021 to  0.50 ug/1).   Because of these  very low levels of




PCB associated with commercial and residential  areas, unit area loads for  these




land uses were not calculated.  In industrial areas in Milwaukee, eight out  of nine




samples collected exceeded PCB detection levels  (0.021 to 0.05 ug/1).   The highest




concentration was 7.9 ug/1 with an  average  of  2 ug/1.  These results indicate that




industrial areas can be  a  significant source  of PCBs.




     The estimated  annual nonpoint source PCB  loading from industrial areas in




Green  Bay  is 12 kilograms assuming  the average concentration of  2 ug/1 and 47




kilograms assuming  the highest concentration  (7.9 ug/1).  The annual load  of PCBs




from the Fox River  has been estimated  at  600  to 1200 kilograms.  The  PCB  loading




from industrial areas in the  City of  Green Bay could  account  for 1 to 9 percent of
                                        20

-------
 the  annual  load.    These relatively  low  PCB  loadings  suggest  that  intensive




 monitoring  is not warranted.




      The  second phase of the Nonpoint  Source  Element will be to  inventory  the




 existing industrial areas to determine  similarities and differences from the areas




 monitored in Milwaukee.  This inventory will document possible wet and dry weather




 sources of PCBs.   For example, electrical transformers  stored in an industrial yard




 are  a potential  wet weather source of PCBs and the heavy use of hydraulic fluid




 inside a plant  is  a potential source of dry weather PCBs.  The survey  will also




 delineate the subbasins the industries  are in.  The survey results will be used to




 determine the potential  for  PCBs  from  industrial  sources. Residues  from selected




 stormsewers will be analyzed for PCBs.   These  samples will be of  sludge  and/or




 scrapings from the wall of the stormsewers.  The results of  the  industrial survey




 and  the stormsewer residues will be used to determine  if additional  monitoring of




 urban stormwaters is necessary. All analyses will be for specific PCB congeners.

 F.   Evaluation of Potential Ground Water Contributions




     Existing information is currently being evaluated to summarize  what is known




 about the groundwater  flow  system between the surrounding aquifers and  the Bay.




 Special emphasis is  placed on describing the shallow flow systems, since these will




 likely carry  most  of  the pollutant  load. This  existing  information  has been




 supplemented with  additional monitoring  data and is  being used  to calibrate  a




 groundwater flow model  developed  under the auspices  of  UW  Sea Grant Institute.




Once calibrated,  this model will be applied to Door County and used to predict
                                       21

-------
contaminant loading to the  Bay and the importance of these loadings  as an input to




the mass balance.




     Groundwater and  soil  monitoring for  PCBs,  dieldrin, cadmium  and lead was




initiated during  the  spring of  1988.  This monitoring will  be  continued during




1988-89.  The additional samples will fill in where current efforts have  identified




data needs.  These  are areas of known contamination from lead  and based on use




patterns, areas of  possible dieldrin contamination.   New sample  sites  will be




selected  to. define  the area of  Door County  that could  be  contributing  lead or




dieldrin to the  Bay.  Additional sample sites for PCBs and cadmium will be targeted




at suspected locations since documented contamination sites  are not  available.




Suspected locations  could include spill sites,  old material handling locations, or




waste disposal sites thought to contain cadmium or PCBs.

II.   OUTPUTS




     Contaminants  in Green Bay can  leave via a water route dissolved in the water




or as suspended particles  through  the passages  north  of  the tip of Door County.




Biotic transport,  although  possible,  has been evaluated as insignificant. Some may




also leave by way  of volitilization into the atmosphere or conversely by permanent




burial in the  sediments of  Green  Bay.  To understand the true  fate of contaminants




in Green Bay,  all  routes must be monitored  to establish the flux rates  across the




compartments of interest.  Projects will be conducted to  establish:




      1) Water volume transport from the bay




      2) Horizontal sediment flux and sediment resuspension




      3) Particle  settling velocities, and
                                       22

-------
       4)  Desorption kinetics,  sedimentation rates, and




          volitilization




      Three  separate  projects  have  been  developed  to address  these  modeling




 requirements.   Two  of these  projects  will  be  conducted  by  investigators from the




 Great Lakes Environmentnal Research Laboratory/National Oceanic  and Atmospheric




 Administration  (NOAA).









 A.  Water Volume Transport




      The  water exchange processes with Lake Michigan are very complex with, on the




 average,  intense outflows of bay waters in the surface layers and inflows of Lake




 Michigan  water penetrating deep into Green  Bay in the near-bottom layers.      The




 inflowing Lake Michigan waters  can be identified flowing  southward west of Chambers




 Island, causing accelerated  flushing of the  lower  bay.  Measuring  water  volume




 exchanges between the lower and upper bays with enough  accuracy for use in the mass




 balance approach will require current velocity recordings in the channels on both




 sides  of  Chambers  Island.   Winter moorings  (17  current meters  total) will  be




 installed at eight locations  in September 1988 and retrieved in April 1989 (Figure




 4) .   It  is expected that after an  energetic fall season  of  circulation  in  an




 unstratified water mass,  currents under the ice will be driven mainly by the lunar




 tide and  seiches interacting with northern Lake Michigan.




      Moorings  at  sixteen  locations  and  employing  37  meters  total  for  the




 stratified season will be installed during May 1989 and retrieved during October




 1989 (Figure 5).  To extend the velocity profiles  through the entire water column




 acoustic doppler current  meters will be placed on the bay floor  in the channels  on




both sides of Chambers Island.   Measurements of flow in  the  surface  layers  of the




water column are critical to  the goal  of computing water volume  transports.   Four




 thermistor chains placed at  strategic  locations  will be used  to measure  water
                                       23

     Flow trajectories in the lower bay during varying surface wind stresses will

be studied  during  a two-week long  interval  in June 1989  using combinations of

satellite-tracked  surface  drifters  and  drogues,   as  well  as    a  satellite

transmitting meteorological station GLERL will install for the duration of these

measurements.  These measurements will establish a time history of the water volume

exchange quantities between  the  upper and lower parts of  Green Bay at Chambers

Island.   The  volume  fluxes  will  establish  boundary  conditions  for improved

hydrodynamics modeling and are necessary for the contaminant mass balance.

B.  Sediment Flux and Restispension

     To measure horizontal sediment flux in and out of Green Bay and the amount of

sediment resuspension, instrument packages will be deployed at several locations

in the bay.  Instruments that measure current velocity approximately one meter above

the bottom,  and water temperature, transparency,  and conductivity one and five

meters above the bottom and five meters below the surface will  be deployed  at five

sites in Green Bay: Stations 40,  41,  43,  44, and 46  (Figure 6).   Stations 40, 41,

and 42 will be  deployed  beginning in May 1989,  and will be maintained until May

1991 with the exception  of station 40, which will be reviewed during the winter;

the other  stations will  be  deployed as  soon  as  the necessary instruments are

available (this is dependent on receipt of funding by GLERL and  cannot  be  further

specified at this time).   The stations will be maintained at these locations until

October, 1990 with  the exception of station 40, which will be removed  during the

winter.  All stations  will be serviced monthly, except during the winter.  Monthly

servicing will include retrieval of  data,  cleaning  the transparency meters,  and




changing the power supplies.




     A  bottom-resting  flume  will  also  be  deployed  at  selected  sites  to




experimentally determine the bottom  current  necessary for sediment resuspension




for various types of sediment (characterized by grain size distribution).




     The time series data will be analyzed to determine an empirical  criterion for




sediment resuspension,  and be combined with the water volume fluxes (GLERL Project




II.A.)  to  calculate  a time series  of  the  horizontal  mass  flux  of suspended




material.  All analyses will be in terms of measured  velocities.  The conductivity




measurements will be used to identify the path of water coming from the  Fox River.




     The transparency meters will be calibrated by comparing the measurements to




direct measurements  of total suspended  material  (TSM) made by  filtering known




volumes of water through pre-weighed glass fiber filters.   The decreased response




of the  meters  due to material growing  on the lenses during the  summer  will be




monitored by making weekly profiles of water transparency using a clean meter at




each of the deployment sites  between May and October.   These profiles, which will




also measure temperature and conductivity, will also provide data on the vertical




structure of these properties.   These measurements will be used to  develop a set




of empirical  equations relating sediment resuspension to current  velocity for




various bottom types (as defined by grain  size) and an equation  for the horizontal




flux in and out of the bay.

C.  Sediment Resuspension Quantification




     The above  field  measurements  will be conducted by a battery  of  experiments




designed  to understand  and  characterize the  physical and  chemical  processes




affecting  particle resuspension  and the  subsequent  dynamics  of  particle  size




distribution and floe morphology of the resuspended material.   The  objective  is  a




quantitative understanding  of sediment  resuspension  as a  function of  sediment




characteristics and bottom shear  stress.  This will involve vicometer experiments,




settling studies,  annular  flume  experiments  and field  resuspension experiments.




The intent is to provide a synthesis of  experimental results and field measurements




into  a  mathematical  framework  that   can  predict  the  spatial   and   temporal




distribution of solids and contaminants  (solid and dissolved phases)  that  result




from a resuspension event.

D.  Desorbtion Kinetics.  Sedimentation Rates  and Volitilization.




     The total  mass of contaminants  in the sediments  and water column  influence




the rates of contaminant exchange  between the  sediment, water and air.   Most of




the mass of pollutants such as PCBs, dieldrin, Pb and Cd reside in the  sediments




of the Green Bay ecosystem.  The concentration of pollutants  in the  sediments will




exert a dominant effect on the concentrations in other compartments.   Consequently,




it is necessary to:




     1)  Quantify the spatial distributions of PCBs, dieldrin,  Pb and Cd, both




         horizontally and vertically.  This also includes:




              a) Development of a strategy to determine the  total mass of
                                       29

-------
                 these pollutants in the Bay,  and for PCBs,  the mass of each




                 individual congener.   If possible,  other hydrophobic




                 pollutants will be included.




               b) Determination of sedimentary organic carbon and particle




                  size distribution (sand and clay/silt fractions) to




                  examine the relationship between these parameters and




                  pollutant concentrations.




     2)  Determine sedimentation rates and surface mixed-layer thicknesses




         throughout Green Bay using 137Cs and 210Pb geochronology.




     3)  Using data generated from the tasks of objective 2,  calculate:




              a) the mass of active sediments (i.e.  sediment effectively




                 remaining in contact with the overlying water) in the bay




                 and the rate of leakage to the permanently buried sediments;




              b) the mass of PCBs, both as total Aroclors and on an individual




                 congener basis, in the active and inactive sediment layers.




     4)  Evaluate diffusive fluxes of PCBs across the sediment/water interface




         and the effects of changes in the partitioning of PCBs between




         interstitial water and sediment on these fluxes as a result of




         variations in the concentration of dissolved organic carbon.




     5)  Evaluate the importance of volatilization of these compounds from




         the water when a mass balance is considered.




     In order to meet the requirements  of objectives enumerated above, a two-tiered




sediment sampling and analysis program is proposed covering two field seasons.




     In the first year of the study (1988) sediment cores will be  retrieved from




approximately 50  stations,  chosen  to provide an  initial best  estimate  of  the




spatial distribution of the mass of PCBs in  the whole Bay and a first estimate of




the sediment mass balance (Objectives 1, 2,  and 3).  These stations  will  include
                                       30

-------
10 from south of  Long  Tail  Point  and 5 from the extreme northern end of the Bay




where samples have not  previously  been taken  (Figure 7a & b) .   A variety  of  coring




devices will be used and cores obtained typically are  sectioned in 1  cm  intervals




down to 10 cm, in 2 cm intervals  down  to 30  cm and in 5 cm intervals down  to the




end of the core.




    While all cores will  be  sectioned  in their entirety,  and the gamma-ray spectra




of radionuclides  will  be measured on as many sections  as  are required to reach




sediments that are older  than 200  years before present, it is  planned that to meet




objective 1 for the mass balance  8  sections  will be  analyzed from each core for




base/neutral organic compounds. The numbers of individual sections to be composited




into each single  sample to be  analyzed for PCBs,  other organics, as well  as  Cd and




Pb,  will be determined on the basis of the observed depth of the  1952 horizon of




4137cs  in each core.




     In addition to providing the  first estimate of the total  mass  of PCBs present




in the  sediments  and their  areal and vertical homogeneity,  these results will




provide the basis  for the Green Bay Modeling Committee  to recommend refinements to




the sediment sampling program for  the second field season (summer  1990) .

III.  ACTIVE POOLS AND INTERFACES




A.  Lower Fox River Sediments




     The sediments below the DePere Dam  are  known to be contaminated with PCBs.




Suspension and subsequent transport of these contaminated sediments could result




in significant PCB loading to Green Bay.   The  soft sediments in this portion of




the river will be characterized based on core  samples.  Approximately 36 cores will




be  obtained  using a private contractor.   Each  core will be  divided  into four




sections.  Particle size, %  solids, total  organic carbon and total PCBs will be




determined  on all  samples  ;   lead,   Cd and  Dieldrin  concentrations  will  be




determined.  Specific congener PCB analyses will be conducted on 10% of the core




samples.  The results of  this activity will provide needed information to link the




Fox River PCB transport model with the model developed for Green Bay.

B.  Water Column




B. 1.  Method Evaluation




     Measuring minute  quantities  of PCBs in natural water bodies presents some




formidable problems.  The best method to separate particulate and dissolved phases




of PCBs has heretofore not been well defined.   Consequently,  research to evaluate




two methods of particulate PCB isolation, including continuous flow centrifugation




and high volume  flow filtration was  undertaken.   Investigators evaluated  three




methods  of isolating dissolved phase PCBs  (high volume  liquid-liquid extraction,




batch   extraction,  and  XAD  column   extraction),  both  in   combination  with




centrifugation  or  filtration  so  that  the  best  combination  of  dissolved  /




particulate separation methods could be determined.
                                        34

-------
      This work was conducted in November 1987 in preparation for  the  1988  field




testing.   It was  determined that while  high  volume liquid to liquid  extraction




holds substantial promise,  it  currently  is  not develped to the extent necessary




for  this  study.    Dissolved phase  organics  will   therefore  be  determined by




extraction on XAD-2 resin.









B. 2. Water Column - Bay




     In general, water and  suspended sediments will be collected on  each  of five




surveys per year during the  1989 navigable season.  If possible, a winter (under




ice cover) survey will  also  be conducted  in the winter of 1989-1990. The frequency




of frontal passage (3-4 days),  the large  number of sampling stations  twenty-seven




(27), and requirements for synoptic surveys  (6 days  or less) will require  the use




of a vessel capable of operating 24 hours a day for periods of up  to one week.




     Twenty-seven  (27)   stations   (Figure   8)  were  selected  for   monitoring




contaminants and conventional variables  in the water columns.




     Approximate  survey   schedule  for  1989  will be  (to  be  modified based on




phytoplankton and thermal events):




            1. February 15  (under ice)     4.  June 26




            2. April 15                   5.  August 14




            3. May 15*                    6.  October 16




            * May be modified depending on "ice out" date.




            Parameters to be measured at each station are found in Table 1.




     At each of the 27 stations lake water is pumped on board through  polyethylene




pipe or  tubing  of approximately  one  inch  diameter  by  use  of  a  submersible




centrifugal pump.   A portion of this water is  filtered through a 293 mm diameter




glass fiber  filter  to  collect a  suspended  solids  sample  of  about  50 mg.   The




filtrate from this filtration is collected in a suitable  storage container  (glass,

IV.  BIOTA




A.  Food Chain Model




     General biological  study  components  to   meet  modeling  requirements  will




include: contaminant body burden determinations  of primary fish species and  their




respective supporting food chains, phytoplankton species composition and abundance




estimates,  chlorophyll  a measurements,  and bioenergetic  characters  for biotic




components.




     Six major morphometric  zones  (Figure  9) have been identified for the  study




which exhibit and correspond  to physical/chemical/biological gradients in  the Bay;




these include eutrophication, chemical contaminant, forage, and habitat gradients.




Besides the  gradient factors,  zonation  has been based on distribution  of fish




populations, availability of fish,  and the number of  samples which  could be




reasonably collected and analyzed during this  study.




     Biota will be sampled three times during the navigational period and represent




three general seasons: April--June  20th,  June 21--September 20,  and September 21-




-November.  Walleye,  brown trout, and carp  have  been chosen as  the  target  species




for the Green Bay study.  These  species meet most or all of the criteria for target




species selection.    The  study of these  species  and  their respective, supporting




food chains  will be the primary biological  effort in the Green Bay study.

      The major biological field effort for the Green Bay study will be to collect




 specimens  for contaminant analyses for  all  biological components  in  food  chain




 models.  Beyond specimen collections for  body burden analyses, the weight, length,




 and  age  (target  species only,  forage species to be separated by  size  groups)  of




 fish will be determined in order to  calculate bioenergetic parameters for modeling




 (See Table  2  for biota  parameters).




      Gut content analyses were conducted  in 1987 to determine the species-specific




 forage bases  of  walleye and brown trout  in several areas of the  Bay;  these data




 have been used to determine the sampling strategy for forage species.   Results  of




 gut  content analyses indicated that rainbow smelt  and alewife were  the primary




 forage bases  of walleye and brown trout  and  gizzard shad were  a forage component




 of walleye  in zones I,  IIA, and IIB (Figure 9).  Carp  gut contents will be excised




 from specimens collected to represent their forage base because of the  difficulty




 in obtaining  meaningful information on  the  feeding of carp.   Target  and forage




 species will  be  collected  from  each  zone  during  the 3  time windows  outlined




 previously.   Multiple  size  classes  of  each species of fish will  be required for




 modeling and sought; however, it is recognized that not all size classes for each




 species, in each  zone,  for each seasonal sampling period will be available and this




 has  been factored into  the sampling scheme and number  of samples to be  collected.




 For  walleye and carp three size classes will  be sampled,  for brown trout two size




 classes in addition to  fall and spring  stock  specimens, for alewife and smelt two




 size classes, and for gizzard shad one size class.




     For  target  species,  five  replicate samples  per  zone  per  season will  be




 obtained for  each size  class.   Each  replicate will  consist  of  5 fish  (5-fish




 composite) and weigh a minimum of one-half pound.   For the forage species, five




 replicate samples per zone per season will be obtained for each size class.  One




half pound of  each size class will  be collected and represent one sample/replicate.

      For  target species, each fish collected will be weighed and measured.  A scale




 sample or fin spine will be taken  in order to age each fish.  Each fish will remain




 whole and will not be eviscerated.  Stomach contents of carp will be excised from




 partially thawed carcasses.    Five  stomachs  from each  carp  composite will  be




 ground, homogenized, and subsampled in the same manner and quantities as the fish




 tissue.




      Phytoplankton  and  zooplankton  samples  for  food  chain  modeling  will  be




 collected from the  R/V Roger  R.  Simons or  associated  support  vessels.    Size




 fractionation  and manual  separation  will be  the  two  techniques  used to  allow




 analyses  of  these biotic compartments.   Three seasonal sampling periods will  be




 used  for  collections representing  the spring, summer,  and fall and will  coincide




 with  the  Green Bay Mass Balance  cruises  scheduled for these  seasons.   Seasonal




 collection  windows  will  be  May-June,   July-September  and  September-October;




 phytoplankton-zooplankton sampling will not occur during all Mass  Balance cruises,




 only 3 designated cruises.  Similarly, stations to be sampled will be the same  as




 for the Green Bay Mass Balance, with some exclusions.




     Stations to be sampled  include 23 of the 27 Green Bay Mass  Balance  stations




 in  the  Bay proper  plus 5  stations  in the  lower  Fox  River  for  a total  of  28




 stations; these will be  collected during three cruises.   Five replicate samples




 (each representing 5 phytoplankton and 5 zooplankton samples) will be required from




 each of the biological zones  for the size fractionation technique.   Phytoplankton-




 zooplankton samples will be  collected concurrently using  a double  net apparatus.




A coarse  mesh  net (100-130 urn), with an  approximate lengthrwidth  ratio of  3:1,




mounted inside a fine mesh net (10 urn), with  an  approximate length:width  ratio  of




 5:1, will allow simultaneous  collection of both biotic compartments from the water




column.   The  nets must be detachable for  appropriate processing.  Collection  jars




will be attached to the bottom of each  respective net.  A flowmeter will be mounted
                                       41

-------
at the mouth of the double net apparatus to measure water volume filtered.

     Manual separation of phytoplankton and zooplankton  in the laboratory will be

accomplished through a combination of sieving and picking when appropriate; this

necessitates preservation with formalin.  Whether seiving is applicable or not, the

zooplankton will be separated from the phytoplankton using binocular scopes at a

magnification  of  100-400X.   After  all  large  zooplankton  are  removed  from  a

particular aliquot (this may include  Ponteporeia or other  invertebrates  suspended

in the water column),  the  remainder  of the sample is added to the phytoplankton

fraction originally  collected in the  fine mesh  net.   When  sufficient mass is

obtained, these phytoplankton and zooplankton fractions  will  be analyzed.  During

the separation process, the dominant  genera of phytoplankton  and zooplankton will

be recorded.

     A summary  of  all  samples/analyses are presented in  Table  3.   Although the

sampling scheme has been developed with the consideration that all samples will

not be  obtained for each  zone,  season,  size class, or sample  type, additional

samples may not be obtained.  This possibility is  evident  for all fish species as

well as phytoplankton and zooplankton collections.   Considering this factor,  it is

anticipated that approximately 75% of the projected samples will be collected.

 V.  QUALITY ASSURANCE AND DATA HANDLING




     The GBMB will generate hundreds of samples in different media which will be




analyzed by different laboratories. This, coupled with  the  fact that parameters




such as PCB congeners have not previously been monitored on a  large scale, requires




an aggressive quality assurance component  to the study.  High quality, comparable




data will be assured by:




     1.  Requiring all participating laboratories  to follow  the procedures and




         meet the criteria defined in "Quality Assurance Plan,  Green Bay Mass




         Balance Study:  I. PCBs and Dieldrin and II: Lead and Cadmium."   This




         includes the analysis of a series of blindly coded  QA samples.




     2.  Requiring that all Green Bay projects be  reviewed and approved by the




         Green Bay Quality Assurance Coordinator (GBQAC) prior  to implementation.




         This is in addition to any QA review procedures required by funding




         agencies.




     Following completion  of  conditions 1 and 2,  sample collection and analysis




may proceed.  As data sets are completed,  the data  and supporting QA information




will be forwarded (on a quarterly basis) to the GBQAC for acceptance  or rejection.




Rejection will  result in  the  implemenntation  of  appropriate corrective  actions




including,  if necessary,  reanalysis.    Data  sets  which are  accepted  will be




transferred to U.S. EPA,  LLRS for electronic storage.









VI.  ADMINISTRATION




     Planning and ultimately  the conduct  of the Green Bay Mass Balance  Study has




and will continue to  require  close  cooperation between government and university




scientists  and  managers.    Members  of   the Management  Committee,   Technical




Coordinating  Committee and four Operational  Committees  are  listed  in Figure 10.




For "network purposes" a list of contacts is included in Appendix A.

VII.  SCHEDULE FOR GREEN BAY/FOX RIVER MASS BALANCE STUDY




     Generally, study  activities  are being  conducted  during a  four  year study




period beginning in 1987 and continuing until the end of 1991.  A summary of the




anticipated schedule is shown in Table 4.
