Columbia River Basin Toxic Contaminants Reference List
At the May 2019 Columbia River Toxics Reduction Working Group meeting, individuals requested a
comprehensive list of materials on toxics in the watershed. Intended as a reference resource for
Working Group members and other entities working to address toxics, this document contains peer-
reviewed science and federal, state, and tribal government reports/publications related to toxic
pollutants in the aquatic environment in the Columbia River Basin. The materials are primarily organized
by location (Table 1). Where appropriate, publications are further organized by watersheds or TMDL
planning areas.
The reference list may be periodically updated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. To correct
errors, broken web-links, or to suggest relevant publications that should be added to the document
email Mary Lou Soscia, EPA's Columbia River Coordinator (Soscia.MarvLouffiepa.gov). or David Gruen,
ORISE Participant (Gruen.David@epa.gov).
