PCBs – The Unwanted “Gift” that Keeps on Giving
Abstract
Due to the fact that levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in San Francisco Bay fish are unsafe for wildlife and human consumption, the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board has required reduction of PCBs from all dischargers over a 20-year timeframe. Multiple stakeholders are working to achieve reductions in PCBs loadings to the San Francisco Bay to meet water quality standards and protect local waters. In 2008, the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) initiated a study to investigate, identify and abate controllable sources of PCBs to its wastewater treatment plant to facilitate regulatory compliance. The results of the study provide information about regional PCBs concentrations and PCBs loadings to EBMUD’s wastewater treatment plant influent. This paper describes the study, as well as steps undertaken by EBMUD to manage sources of PCBs in its service area. This information may be helpful to other wastewater agencies in their efforts to reduce the levels of PCBs in their discharges and to achieve regulatory compliance and/or water quality protection goals.
