WATER POLLUTION AND RELATED FIELDS
COLUMBIA BASIN AND PACIFIC COAST STATES
1963
PREFACE
This is the sixth 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
under way in the Pacific Northwest, The area covered was
expanded in 1961 to include the states of Alaska, Arizona,
California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington and the
western portion of British Columbia. The 1963 inventory
covers this area in addition to the states of Hawaii and
Wyomi ng.
Many of the projects listed in 1962 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 organisations conducting the stud-
ies. Every effort has been exerted to make the informa-
tion contained herein as accurate as possible. If signif-
icant errors have been made, they will be corrected, if
they are called to the attention of the compiler.

deposition of particulate materials from pulp mill wastes
in an estuarine environment. Sediment collectors are held
at ]k stations in Alberni Harbour and the collected samples
of sediment are removed once monthly. Physical and chemical
analyses are performed on the samples. So far there has
been great variability in deposition of sediments in the
harbour, both in space and time, with greatest deposition
occurring in the vicinity of the pulp mill and the mill

est the pulp mill has resulted in organic decomposition in
the bottom muds and evolution of gases. A sampling appa-
ratus has been designed to collect this gas for analysis.

type gas analyzer showed the presence of a large concen-
tration of methene (65.^ - 79• **%), small quantities of

52 INTERACTION OF GASES DISSOLVED IN WATER. A. E. Werner and M.
Waldichuk. Location--Bio1ogical Station, Nanaimo, B. C.
An apparatus has been built to measure the rate of reaction
of oxygen and hydrogen sulphide dissolved in water. Pre-
liminary results show that hydrogen sulphide and oxygen can
coexist for some days in distilled water, but react quite
rapidly in sea water. When salts of manganese and iron are
added to the distilled water, the reactivity of the two
gases is greatly accelerated. It is proposed to investigate
the catalytic effects on this reaction of trace amounts of
heavy metals in the presence and absence of complex!ng
agents which are usually present in organic pollutants.
Started January, 1963. Supported by Federal Government,
$2,000.
53 EFFECTS OF PULP MILL WASTES (SULPHITE) IN PORPOISE HARBOUR
AND WAINWRIGHT BASIN, NEAR PRINCE RUPERT, B. C. M. Waldichuk,
J. R. Markert and A. E. Werner. Located in the area adja-
cent to the Prince Rupert pulp mill. A study was conducted
in partly land-locked marine waters receiving sulphite
wastes in the Prince Rupert area. Surveys were conducted
during September, 1961 and April, 1962. Very low dissolved
oxygen concentrations were found. During a mi 11 shutdown
in July, 1962, there was a rapid recovery in dissolved oxy-
gen concentrations to near-normal values. Paper being pre-
pared for publication. Published paper: M. Waldichuk and

55 EFFECTS OF KRAFT PULP MILL EFFLUENT ON PACIFIC OYSTERS. D.
B. 0_uay1e and Jan Flury. Location--Crofton, Ladysmith,
Nanaimo, B. C. Experiments were conducted in waters ad-
jacent to kraft pulp mills at Crofton and Nanaimo, hold-
ing trays of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, at
various distances from the outfalls. Condition factor
was used as an index of effect of the kraft mill effluent
on the oyster quality. A definite reduction in condition
was observed over a period of two years in high concen-
trations of the effluent near the Harmac pulp mill,
Nanaimo, compared to controls held in Departure Bay. A
less conclusive effect on condition factor of oysters
in test plots and commercial leases was noted over a
three-year period in waters containing lower concentra-
tions of the effluent near the Crofton pulp mill. This
work was started in 1959 and terminated in 1963- Manu-
script in preparation. Supported by Federal Government.

106 EXPLORATORY STUDY ON MANGANESE AND IRON SOLUBILITY IN SUB-

reveals presence of large reserve of easily reducible iron
and manganese in two Imperial Valley soils. When subjected
to leaching under reducing conditions, 1.53 Ibs. of iron
and 2.61 1bs. of manganese were removed per acre-foot of
leachate. Evidence suggests that organic matter and bio-
logical activity may stimulate the rate of the reaction
which affects the solubility. The problem is increasing
in Imperial and Coachella Valleys, with clogging of tile
drains constituting a serious expense in irrigation.

296 A STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF WASTE DISPOSAL IN THE WATERS OF
PUGET SOUND ADJACENT TO METROPOLITAN SEATTLE AREA. G. D.
Farris, G. W. Isaac and C. V. Gibbs. To determine the
effects of discharging large quantities of treated waste
into the waters of Puget Sound. Current studies, bacteri-
ological and chemical analysis and bottom sampling in the

charge conditions are planned. Includes bacteriological
sampling of existing marine outfall areas. Preliminary
work began in 1962; to continue indefinitely. Supported
jointly by Metro and the U. S. Geological Survey, Quality
of Water Branch.
