Notes | “Prepared for the City of Newport, Oregon.” “Oregon State University collected and analyzed coastal marine species for concentrations of heavy metals and organic pollutants August to October 2012. . . . Animals were collected from stations around the Georgia Pacific (G-‐P) outfall pipe adjacent to Nye Beach, OR (mixing zone stations) as well as stations north of Yaquina Head and south of Yaquina Bay. . . . Organisms were processed for trace metals, PCBs & congeners, phenolics, and PBDEs. There was little evidence for bioaccumulation of contaminants of concern associated with the G-‐P outfall pipe.” (from the Executive Summary) |
