                           1962
                          PREFACE
This is the  fifth annual  inventory   of  research  on water
pollution and  related subjects   prepared and  distributed
by the Portland,  Oregon  office  of   the  Division  of Water
Supply and Pollution Control,  U.  S.  Public Health Service.
Initially, these   inventories  covered only those projects
underway in the Pacific Northwest.    The  area covered was
expanded in 1961  to include  the  states of Alaska, Arizona,
California, Idaho,  Montana, Nevada,  Oregon and Washington
and the western portion of British Columbia.  The 1962 in-
ventory covers this same area.

Many of the projects  listed in  1961  were not completed in
that year and, consequently,   are again  contained  in this
inventory with any change in status  indicated.   A consid-
erable number of  new projects  are also listed.

Material for  these inventories   has been supplied  by the
various individuals and organizations conducting the stud-
ies.   Every effort has been exerted to  make the informa-
tion contained herein as accurate as possible.   If signi-
ficant errors have been made,  they  will be  corrected, if
they are called to the attention  of  the  compiler.

            SOIL AND WATER TESTING.   H.  V.  Smith,  G.  E.  Draper
              and H. Corrie.   Agricultural  Experiment  Station.
              A study of the  quality of  domestic  and  irrigation
              waters.  Supported in  1962 by State  funds,  $12,675.
              The manuscript,  "The Quality  of  Arizona's  Domestic
              Waters," is being printed  for publication.

            SURVIVAL OF PATHOGENS IN SEWAGE STABILIZATION PONDS.
              Quentin Mees and Jack  R. Hensley.   Reuse of water
              is of paramount  importance in areas  where  water
              supply is a problem.  Whether reuse  takes  the  form
              of irrigation,  recharge, or industrial  use,  health
              protection becomes a factor of prime importance.
              Reuse of the effluent  from stabilization ponds
              employed for treating  raw  sewage in  agricultural
              areas is becoming widespread. Since frequency of
              virus isolations,  concentrations of  various para-
              sitic organisms,  as well as concentrations  of
              certain pathogenic bacteria have varied  with dif-
              ferent types of  treatment, it becomes increasingly
              significant that  a study of the  survival of these
              organisms in the stabilization pond  effluent be
              conducted.  Location - Arizona.   Funds  from Na-
              tional Institutes of Health.   $15,083.   Project
              ended May 1961.

           reserve of easily reducible iron and manganese
           in two Imperial Valley soils.   When subjected  to
           leaching under reducing conditions, 1.53 1bs.  of
           iron  and 2.61  1bs. of manganese were removed  per
           acre-foot of leachate.  Evidence suggests  that
           organic matter and biological  activity may stim-
           ulate the rate of the reaction which affects  the
           solubility.  The problem is increasing in  Imperial

           constituting a serious expense in irrigation.

           extremely toxic to plants.  It occurs in  toxic con-
           centration in some irrigation waters and  saline
           soils and is a potential pollutant because of its
           widespread use.  This is an extension of  boron-
           tolerance studies started many years ago.  Project
           active in 1962.

           salt-balance and salt-burden studies are  the
           principal objectives.  A great deal of informa-
           tion has accumulated on the effect of irrigation
           return flows on the quality of water of the Rio
           Grande.  Supported by funds from ARS, U.  S.

246       CLAM AND OYSTER LARVAE AS SPECIMENS FOR BIOASSAY,
            C. E.  Woelke and D. T. Walsh.  Present bioassay
            methods using adult shellfish require long time
            periods.  Larval bioassay will  shorten period
            of test.  Finite statistical  analysis of the
            techniques involved has been  completed.  Water
            from various bays  and estuaries has been assayed
            using  US-hour larval development of the Pacific
            oyster.  Control parameters have been studied
            using  water from areas not suspect of pollution.
            Studies conducted  in 1962 included water from
            known  polluted areas and this phase of testing
            will be expanded in 1963-  Two reports published.

            elopment of Pacific oyster larvae was determined.
            Digestor waste from five different mills includ-
            ing all principal  types of processes was evalu-
            ated.   A total of  25-30 different samples of
            waste  have been evaluated and work on this phase
            is complete.  Studies on liquor components are
            being  held in abeyance pending availability  of
