Contaminant survey of Sarasota Bay priority watersheds : Cedar Hammock Creek, Bowlees Creek, Whitaker Bayou, Hudson Bayou, and Phillippi Creek.

Abstract

This report summarizes a project with an objective to identify the historic and present-day regions within the Sarasota Bay watersheds which contribute toxic compounds to receiving waters. The evaluation technique initially developed for the Hudson Bayou watershed consisted of five activities which would together identify potential toxin sources (both historical and present-day) and stormwater loading estimates by watershed subbasin.
