      The ambient river data also show considerable  organic  contamina-
tion of tributaries to the Wabash such as the White  River, Tippecanoe
River, Mississinewa River, and Vermilion River.   More ambient sampling
may be warranted depending on the outcome of additional  point source
sampling.


      Non-Point Source Organics Pollution

      Non-point sources of toxic/hazardous organic chemicals would be
mainly runoff from farm applications of herbicides and pesticides.
Another source would be runoff carrying residues of chemicals used
for extermination of weeds and insects by local  entities.  Since most
applications are done in spring, an assessment of the severity of this
problem would entail ambient river sampling at selected sites at two
different times of year, one of which should be immediately  after
spring farm applications of herbicides/pesticides.  Existing ambient
data do not lend themselves to an assessment of the non-point source
problem.
      Carbon Filter Data

      Carbon filters for collection of ambient river organics samples
were placed at three locations (Lafayette, Terre Haute, and Mount
Carmel) on the Wabash River and one location on the White River in
May 1976.  These samples are currently in analysis phase at Central
Regional Laboratory.  Resulting data will be presented when available.
Preliminary partial results indicate the presence of multifarious
organics.
      Fish Data

      Some fish have been collected and analyzed for various organics
in the Wabash River Basin, but many remain to be analyzed.   The
presentation of fish data relating to the presence of toxic/hazardous
organics in the Wabash River Basin will be deferred until  such time as
all data are available.
      Sludge and Sediment Data

      Studies performed by the ISBH and the USEPA have revealed PCB
contamination of Indiana municipal  wastewater treatment plant sludges
from 16 "major" sources in the Wabash River Basin, as  follows:

      Whereas the source of the PCBs in Bloomington is known to be
Westinghouse Corp., the remainder of the communities should be
thoroughly evaluated to determine possible sources of PCBs and other
toxic/hazardous organics getting into the sewerage systems.  It would
seem worthwhile to continue such a sludge analysis program for all
"major" municipal dischargers in the basin.


      Sediments collected from streams downstream of the landfill  sites
used by known PCB dischargers have revealed  attendant PCB contamination.
Such studies have been performed by the ISBH and the USEPA in streams
below the Bloomington, Indiana South STP; below GM Central Foundry,
Bedford, Indiana; and at landfill  sites used to dispose of PCB-containing
material from Westinghouse, Bloomington, Indiana; and GM Central  Foundry,
Bedford, Indiana.
         Further stream sediment work should be confined to known signifv
cant sources of toxic/hazardous  organics.
      Public Drinking Water Supply Data

      Public water supplies which utilize surface water as  source of
supply in the Wabash River Basin are presented in Appendix  D.   Organics

occurring in two of these, Mount Carmel, Illinois and Terre Haute,
Indiana, have been investigated as portions of reports already
discussed (2, 8).  Specifically, neither picolines nor nitrosamines
were found in the water supply intake at Mount Carmel, Illinois; and
nitrosamines were not detected in the intake of the water supply at
Terre Haute, Indiana.
     Data from USEPA and ISBH studies of water supply contamination
with PCB in waterways below Bloomington, Indiana are presented in
Appendix C.  As shown, the data confirmed the presence of PCBs
(Aroclors 1242/1016 and 1248) in the raw waters at the Bedford,
Indiana, Salt Creek and East Fork White River filtration plants.
PCBs were not confirmed in the treated waters from these filtration
plants.

     As part of a national survey of organics in drinking water
supplies, an extensive investigation of organics in water supplies
throughout Region V was undertaken by the USEPA and presented in
a report dated April 1975 (9).   Excerpts from this report are
presented in Appendix E.  Results pertaining to the Wabash River
Basin are summarized below.  Various chlorinated toxic/hazardous
organics (for specifics see Appendix E) were found in either the
raw or finished waters (or both) at the following locations:

          Newton, Illinois
          Lafayette, Indiana
          Terre Haute, Indiana
          Logansport, Indiana
          Danville, Illinois
          Indianapolis, Indiana
          Bloomington, Indiana
          Kokomo, Indiana
          Muncie, Indiana
          Fairfield, Illinois
          Mount Carmel, Illinois
          Bedford, Indiana
     The above results showed that chlorination of the water increased
the occurence of chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane,
and bromofomio  Other chlorinated compounds found included carbon tetra-
chloride, methylene chloride, and 1,2-dichloroethane.   All of the above
are surface supplies with the exception of Lafayette,  Indiana.

     As part of the same study (9),   selected water supplies were tested
for the following toxic/hazardous organics:

          Di ethylhexy1phtha1 ate
          DDT
          Dieldrin
          Treflan
          Hexachlorobenzene
          Aldrin
          Zytron
          Lindane
          2,4-D Isopropylester
          Gamma Chlordane

     One or more of these were detected in the following public water
supplies in the Wabash River Basin (either raw or finished water or
both J.-

          Bedford, Indiana
          Indianapolis, Indiana
          Kokomo, Indiana
          Lafayette, Indiana
          Logansport, Indiana
          Mount Carmel, Illinois

     All of the above are surface water supplies with the exception of
Lafayette, Indiana,  It should be stressed that the concentrations of
the latter compounds were very low (nanograms per liter range).

     Inasmuch as the foregoing study revealed organic chemical con-
tamination at selected water supplies in the Habash River Basin, it
is recommended that all of the surface water supplies (see Appendix D)
be analyzed for toxic/hazardous organic chemicals.

Conclusions and Recommendations

     From this Phase I investigation of toxic/hazardous organic chemicals
in the Wabash River Basin, the following conclusions and recommendations
are drawn:

     1.  Those "major" municipal and industrial point source dischargers
which have been identified in this report, and have not been tested for
organics, should be sampled and so tested.  The compounds to be analyzed
should include, as a minimum, the compounds detected in the Wabash River
at New Harmony, Indiana, and the compounds detected in downstream water
supplies as identified in this report.


     2c  Those "minor" municipal point source dischargers which have
been identified in this report, and have not been tested for organics,
should be sampled and so tested on a case by case basis as resources
allow.

                                  33

     3.  Depending on the results from items number 1 and 2 above,
those "minor" industrial point source dischargers which have been
identified in this report, and which are located in communities
showing organics being discharged, should be sampled and so tested
as resources allow.

     4.  Some of the "minor" industrial dischargers identified in
this report, which have not been tested for organics, probably
discharge all of their wastewaters directly to the Wabash River
Basin without going through a municipal wastewater treatment plant.
These dischargers remain to be identified.

     5.  Ti-.e specific organic compounds identified in this report as
being discharged by point sources (both municipal and industrial)
should be confirmed by resampling if necessary and controlled through
the NPDES permit limitation/Toxic Substance Act process.  This is
particularly true where one or two significant sources have been
identified.

     6.  Limited ambient river and stream organics data has revealed
considerable organics contamination throughout the basin, and, in
particular, in the Wabash River at New Harmony, Indiana, a location
below most point source dischargers.  As the values at New Harmony
are quite high, they should be confirmed by resampling.  A more
complete picture of the extent of organic contamination in the
Wabash River Basin will be available when the carbon filter analyses
are complete (Wabash and White Rivers).  Partial preliminary results
of carbon filter analyses indicate extensive organics contamination.

     7.  Whereas some fish analyses have been completed, fish data
have been excluded from this report and will be deferred until all
data are received.

     8.  Public drinking water supplies throughout the basin have
been found to contain various organics in varying concentrations.
Organics were found in eleven surface supplies and one well supply
(either raw or finished water or both).  Chlorination of water was
found to increase the occurrence of certain chlorinated hydrocarbons
in the supplies tested.  It is recommended that the water supplies
identified be periodically monitored for toxic/hazardous organics
until such time as the sources of the organics can be identified
and controlled.  Additionally, all  surface water supplies in the
Wabash River Basin not yet checked should be analyzed for toxic/
hazardous organics.   Also, the policies of chlorination at each of
these supplies should be carefully reviewed.

     9.  As the policy of analyzing municipal  wastewater treatment
plant sludges for PCBs has revealed contamination at 16 "major"
sources in Indiana,  it is recommended the policy be extended for
                                  34

all "major" munfcfpal dischargers in the Wabash River Basin.  Those
municipalities with PCB-contaminated sludges should be throughly
evaluated to determine possible sources of PCBs and other toxic/
hazardous organics being discharged to the sewerage systems.

    10.  An assessment of the severity of the non-point source toxic/
hazardous organic chemical problem will entail ambient river sampling
at selected sites at two different times of year, one of which should
be immediately after spring farm applications of herbicides and/or
pesticideso  Existing ambient data do not lend themselves to an assess-
ment of the non-point source problem.

    11.  It is recommended that further stream sediment sampling be
confined to known significant sources of toxic/hazardous organics.

            OHIO RIVER BASINS, MAY - NOVEMBER 1974" REPORT


Discussion of Results

     During the discussion of pesticide data, numbers in parentheses are
frequency of occurrence given as percent.

1.   Mississinew River

     A.  FCBs - six samples were collected in the Mississinewa River
Basin.   Aroclor  1248 and 1254 were found in one and three of the samples,
respectively.   Aroclor 1248 [0-4 ug/1) was found in 3M Corporation 001
effluent, and  Aroclor 1254 in the Mississinewa River between Matthews
and below Marion, Indiana.

     B.  Pesticides - the most common occurring pesticides were heptachlor
(83), aldrin (100), o,p'-DDT (83), p,p'-DDT (83), and p,p'-DDE (50).

     C.  Plasticizers - Di-N-butyl phthalate occurred in every sample.
Di(2-ethylhexyl)  phthalate (28 ug/1) was found in 3M Corporation's 002
effluent, Hartford City, Indiana.  This was the highest concentration
found during the survey.  The data indicates that these plasticizers are
introduced into the Mississinewa throughout the reach studied from below
Marion, Indiana to the headwaters.

     D.  Selected organics - no samples were collected for selected
organics analysis.

2.   White River

     A.  PCBs - nine PCBs samples were collected from the White River
and point sources in the Indianapolis area.   Aroclor 1254 was found once
near the mouth of the White River.  No other PCBs were detected.   This is
a large river basin and due to the limited amount of sampling the extent
of PCBs cannot be ascertained.

     B.  Pesticides - eight samples were collected for chlorinated pesti-
cides from the White River Basin.  Seven were from the Indianapolis area.
The most common occurring pesticides were:  lindane (57), aldrin  (50),
chlordane (57), o,p' DDT (57), p,p' DDT (57), o,p' DDE (57), p,p' DDE (71),
and Alpha BHC (71).

     C.  Selected organics - samples collected during 1971-72 indicated
picolines (coal tar derivatives) were entering the West Fork White River
via the Indianapolis sewage treatment plant.  Picolines or other  coal
tar derivatives were not detected in the samples collected from the
Indianapolis sewage treatment plant's effluent during August 1974, nor
                                   38

                                                              (2/4)


the White River at Hazelton (near mouth) in May and June 1974.  However,
other compounds that are coal tar derivatives or substituted derivatives
were found in the influent of the Belmont and Southport STPs.  These were
fluoranthene, phenonthrene or anthracene, and acenaphthene,,  Dibenzofuran,
an heterocyclic organic compound sometimes used as an insecticide was also
found.  Stearic acid and ethyl oleate, both common to animal fats and oils,
used in the preparation of proprietary medicinal compounds, were detected
in samples collected from the Indianapolis STPs.

        Although coal tar derivatives were not detected in the STP effluents,
additional monitoring should be considered because coal tar derivatives are
known to cause tainting of fish flesh, and taste and odor problems it: drink-
ing water.

3o  Mainstem Wabash River

    A.  PCBs - fifty-five samples were collected for PCBs from the mainstem
Wabash River tributaries, industries and municipalities between mile points
313.25 and 43»1.  Four samples from the Wabash River contained  Aroclor
1254.  No other PCBs were detected in the river or tributaries.  Aroclor
1248 was measured at Weston Paper's 001 and 004,  Aroclor 1242 at Eli Lilly
004, and Terre Haute STP, and  Aroclor 1254 at Rostone Corporation, Lafayette,
Indiana and Pfizer's 001, 002 and 003 effluents.

    Bo  Pesticides - forty samples were analyzed for pesticides.  The fre-
quency of occurrences as percent are given below:

    Dieldrin              76          p,p' DDT             39
    Heptachlor            72          Treflan              36
    Aldrin                72          p,p' DDE             30
    BHC                   64          o,p' DDE             21
    o,p' DDT              53          o,p' ODD              9
    Lindane               52          Meth-oxychlor         5
    Heptochlor-epioxide   42          p,p' ODD              3
    Chlordane             39          Endrin                0

    All pesticide concentrations except one (heptochlorepioxide) increased
between Wabash River mile points 313.25 and 193o500  This would be expected
as the sediments containing pesticides are scoured from the streambeds and
are transported downstream.

    Co  Plasticizers - Di-N-butyl phthalate and Di-(2-ethy hexyl) phthalate
were found in 95 and 64 percent of the 37 samples  collected.  The river
concentrations do not change significantly in the  reach studied.  Some
known sources of the plasticizers are as follows:

        Upper Wabash River (above mile point 313,25)
        Rostone Corporation 001, Lafayette, Indiana
                                 39
