EFDC on the Web

Information on the EFDC application to Elliott Bay and Duwamish River can be found at:
htto: //dnr .metrokc. gov/wlr/waterres/wq a/W QPAGE .HTM

This is the most complete application of EFDC involving hydro, sediment and toxic contaminants.
Specifically, the various reports (including the hydrodynamic and contaminant transport and fate model
report) are under:

http://dnr.metrokc.gov/wlr/waterres/wqa/wqrep.htm

Some preliminary results for the application of EFDC to South Puget Sound can be found under:

A comparison of EFDC with other surface water models at the USGS's surface water modeling
information clearing house:

The formal framework for application of EFDC to simulate riverine hydrodynamics, and sediment-
contaminant transport is illustrated by the GE/Housatonic modeling framework document:
