                              INTRODUCTION
       On October 7, 1957, the Public Health Service submitted to the



Corps of Engineers, Washington District, a report entitled,



"Proposal for Initial Report on Water Quality Program for the Potomac



River Basin Review Report," in which it was proposed that the



Public Health Service prepare, during the remainder of Fiscal Year 1958,



an initial report based on available data and including a proposal for



additional work necessary for a final report on water quality in the



Potomac River Basin.



       Approval of this proposal by the Corps of Engineers was indicated



in a letter dated October 29, 1957.  The same letter also authorized



the Service to proceed with the work outlined in the proposal.



       On December 3, 1957, the Public Health Service submitted to the



Corps of Engineers a proposal for completing a comprehensive study of



water quality in the Potomac River Basin during Fiscal Years 1958, 1959,



I960, and 1961.  The Corps of Engineers approved this proposal by letter



dated June 6, 1958.

-------
                  SCOPE OF FISCAL YEAR 1958 ACTIVITIES
       The proposals listed above Indicated that the scope of



Fiscal Year 1958 activities would Include:



       A.  Collection of available data from Federal, State, and



           local agencies.



       B.  A start on analyses of available data, with emphasis on



           the Washington Metropolitan Area.



       C.  Completion of a preliminary report to include, insofar



           as possible, evaluation of existing water quality in""



           problem areas; special consideration of the Washington



           Metropolitan Area problem; catalog of additional data



           needed for the final report; a schedule of special studies



           required for necessary additional data; and, if necessary,



           a revised estimate of cost of special studies and



           completion of the final report.

-------
                            COLLECTION OF DATA
        During Fiscal Year 1958,  such data on the preceding items as



 had been developed by others were collected and evaluated in order to



 avoid duplication of work, and to prepare recommendations as to



 additional work required to develop needed data.  Visits were made to



 the several State and regional agencies for the purpose of discussing



 the proposed comprehensive water quality and water use study with each



 agency, to obtain copies of all  applicable data *-** reports previously


                                                                       /' •$'-•«/•>
 developed by others, and to inquire as to any specific problem areas.// ,^,   R

 Acknowledgment is made of the cooperation of the following agencies in



 furnishing information pertinent to the study:



        Maryland Department of Health



        Maryland Water Pollution  Control Commission



        Maryland Water Resources  Commission



        Pennsylvania Department of Health



        Virginia State Health Department



        Virginia State Water Control Board



        West Virginia State Water Commission



        Interstate Commission on  the Potomac River Basin



        District of Columbia Blue Plains Sewage Treatment Plant

-------
               An invaluable  record  of water quality In the tidewater



        Potomac River from Three  Sisters  Island to Fort Washington was available



        from the District  of  Columbia Blue  Plains  Sewage Treatment Plant.



        A routine river sampling  and analysis program has  been conducted,  with-



        out  break,  since September 22, 1937*  Copies of «-T> analytical results



        through 1956 previously had  been  made available to the Public Health



        Service.  It was necessary,  however,  to obtain  additional data and to



        obtain time of day of previous sample collections  in  order to correlate



        magnitude of determinations  with  tidal variations.  Times of sample



        collections were available for the  periods February 10, 19^3 to



        November 25, 19^5; and  September  30,  1953  to August 12, 1957.  Times of



        sample collections along  with other pertinent data were placed in  a



        computer program to convert  the sampled position to the low tide slack



        position in order  to  compare all  data at the same tidal position.



'        Whether or not these  data can be  adequately  correlated remains to  be



        proven and will require additional  statistical  analyses.  The extent of



        additional sampling in  the tidal  area necessary to supplement existing



        data will be determined by these  analyses.



               Previous reports developed on  the subject of the Potomac River



        were assembled but have not  yet been  assimilated.  These reports Include



        the  following:



               "Hygienic Laboratory," Public  Health  Service, 1913-191U.



               "Bacteriological Study," Public Health Service, 1925.

lation is an explanation of the headings and subscripts used, and a

Key to Symbols which describes the treatment of water supplies, sewage, '

and Industrial wastes.
                        i                               I*A
       The data indicate that little stream survey work ba» been per-

                                                                     u^o^°
formed by the several States, i* reueiiL -yea*».  Consequently, there -is~

only very limited water quality data available.  Virginia had made an

extensive stream survey on the South River in the vicinity of Waynesboro,

Virginia, in the summer of 1957.  Pennsylvania had conducted a stream

survey of Conococheague Creek in 1951.  In recent years, neither *faryland

nor West Virginia has conducted stream surveys in the basin.  Copies of

data from these studies, while not included in this report, vl'lj be of

value to future studies necessary to provide a true picture of water

quality in the Potomac River and its tributaries.  The data collected in
                  n-~
Fiscal Year 1958 will, however, be-included as a part of future studies.

-------
       While each State had records of sources of wastes and known
problem areas, there are differences between State records and actual
situations, probably due to changes made in the field and a time lag in
recording such changes in State records.
       An examination of the data pertaining to the Washington Metro-
                                                   that the information
currently available ts- not sufficient to adequately interpret the
        effects of tidal action on pollution in the Washington
Metropolitan Area, nor to predict the probable effects of low-flow

augmentation from upstream reservoirs./  Additional stream studies w-lll
be- needed to obtain the data necessary for making the above interpre-
tations and predictions.  Personnel well versed in the study of tidal
currents will be required for this work.

-------
                              CONCLUSIONS
       On the basis of the information collected and analyzed during
                     *j*^
Fiscal Year 1958, it *« concluded that:

       A.  While all States have data on water uses in the basin,

           in some cases the official records available have not yet

           been brought up to date.  Up-dating of such information is

           necessary for evaluation of a reservoir development program.

       B.  With the few exceptions previously noted, there are no

           recent water quality data available upon which to base  aay

           evaluation of impact of a reservoir development program.

       C.  The study of the portion of the Potomac River in tidewater

           in the Washington, B.C. Metropolitan Area is complex and
          v -, U-
          -wlll require special skills in order to evaluate effects  of

           tidewater on pollution and the significance of low flow
                                                 /<<.,  >ft <°
           augmentation from upstream reservoirs./  Considerable work

           is now under way in assembling and analyzing data preliminary

           to determination of additional field studies required and the

           development of study techniques applicable to tidewater

           conditions.
                                    8

-------
D,  The study of current and proposed future use of the



    Potomac River as a source of public water supply will be a



    large task and will require a concentrated effort of at least



    one engineer for about a year.

-------
                            RECOMMENDATIONS
       In order to complete the comprehensive study of water quality

it is recommended that:

       A.  During Fiscal Year 1959 the following work should be

           undertaken:

           1.  Stream surveys should be conducted on the main stem of

               the Potomac River and its tributaries in that portion

               of the basin from tidewater to Paw Paw, West Virginia,


               in order to obtain data necessary for evaluation of water

               quality and water uses in the basin with particular

               reference to public water supplies.'  At such time as the
                                                                      "i
              ! Corps of Engineers determines exact locations of


               reservoir sites it may be necessary to supplement Infor-

              i mation gained in such a survey with additional field

              | studies.
              /
           2.  All water users within the basin should be contacted.

               Current data on water use, treatment, and sources of


               wastes should be developed and estimates of future water

               uses, need of treatment, and magnitudes of waste loads

               should be obtained from the water users.



                                   10

-------
                             11




     3.   A field survey team should be  organized to conduct  a


         field study of the water quality of the Potomac River


         and each of its tributaries.


     k.   The analyses of the data pertaining to tidewater  in


       ( Washington, D.  C.  Metropolitan Area)should be  con-
       i.                                     /

         tinued to establish a firm basis for future stream


         studies in that portion of the basin.


     5.   An engineer skilled in pollution studies  should be


         trained in the techniques of oceanography in order  to


         better understand  the Washington, D. C. Metropolitan


         Area situation. This engineer will then  have  the


         necessary skills required for  the study of the tide-


... -----     water Potomac in the Washington  area.


 B.   As  a part of any Fiscal Year 1960  program, the service  of


     one engineer should be included to concentrate on  a study


     of  current and proposed future use of the  Potomac  River as


     a source of public water supply.


 C.   The  schedules established for the  study of the


     Potomac River Basin for Fiscal Years 1959, I960, and  1961,


     (as  set forth in the proposal for  completing  a comprehensive


     study of water quality in the basin,  submitted to  the


     Corps of Engineers on  December 3,  1957,  and approved  by the


     Corps of Engineers on  June 6, 1958)  should be carried to


     completion.

          INDUSTRIAL WASTE TREATMENT OPERATIONS AND PROCESSES
        The following numerical coding Is used for the description



of those situations In which the treatment of Industrial wastes



cannot be satisfactorily or fully described by use of the foregoing


symbols alone.  The preceding letter symbols and the following



numerical coding are used in combination when necessary, although



either may be used alone.




1.  Centrifugation



        Defn.  Separation of solids and fluids of different densities



               or separation of the nature of filtration in an apparatus


               rotating at high speed.



        Ex.    Separation of wool grease from acid cracked wool scouring


               liquor in a centrifuge.


2.  Distillation and Stripping



        Defn.  Distillation is a separation of volatile liquids by


               utilizing the differences in their volatilities.



               Stripping is a separation of a volatile material from a


               less volatile or non-volatile liquid with the aid of a


               stream of air or other gas.



        Ex.    Kopper's process for distilling phenol from ammonia-still


               liquor.             _,.
                                  xxii

-------
                                 xxLii

3»  Emulsion Breaking
        Defn.  Separation of two liquids in colloidal suspension.
        Ex.    Passing oil in water of waste emulsion from the treat-
               ment of light and lubricating oils between electrodes to
               charge the particles and cause separation.
k»  Evaporation
        Defn.  Volatilization of water or other material from non-
               volatile residue.
        Ex.    Concentration of Steffens waste from beet sugar manu-
               facture in multiple effect evaporators.
5.  Extraction
        Defn.  Transferral of a constituent of a solid or liquid to
               another liquid (the solvent).
        Ex.    Extraction of phenol from ammonlacal liquor with benzene.
6.  Filtration
        Defn.  Separation of a heterogeneous mixture of a fluid and
               particles of solid by a filter medium which permits the
               flow of a fluid but retains the particles of solid.
        Ex.    Use of save-alls for the removal of fiber from white
               water in the pulp and paper industry.  Filter presses
               for removal of lanolin from wool scouring wastes.

-------
                                 xxiv





 7.  Flotation



        Defn.   Separation of a material by floating at  or on the surface



               of a liquid.



        Ex.     Flotation save-alls  for  removal of fiber and other



               suspended solids from white water.



 8.  Neutralization



        Defn.   Addition of acids or bases  to basic or acidic material



               so that it Is no longer  acidic or basic, to get a pH



               value of about 7-0.



        Ex.     Neutralization of acid wastes resulting  from the manu-



               facture of nitro-cellulose  with dolomitic lime.



 9.   Oxidation - Chemical



        Defn.   Changing an element  from a  lower to a higher positive



               valance by chemical  action.



        Ex.     Chlorination  of cyanides in alkaline solution.



10.   Regulated Discharge



        Defn.   The procedure or actions involved in artificially



               controlling the flow of  liquid wastes so that their dis-



               charge at a specific time or times will  serve a



               specified purpose or objective.




        Ex.     Lagooning of  cannery wastes,  with discharge to  the stream



               in small volumes over long  periods of time when tempera-



               tures are low and stream flows high.

-------
                                   XXV
11.  Waste Prevention Measures
               Satisfactory efforts by industry to prevent waste



               materials resulting from industrial operations from



               entering the sewers.



                      This group also includes efforts by industries



               not sewered, to prevent waste materials from entering



               a watercourse by other means.



                      Practices of disposal other than those



               described by codes, are included in this group.
