Summary

Incedental wastewater reuse from streams that receive discharges from Wastewater Treatment Facilities (WWTF) has the potential to be a significant contributor of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals. An ArcGIS model of WWTFs, NHDPlus Version 2 stream networks (USGS and EPA 2012), and gage stations across the Shenandoah River watershed was created to calculate accumulated wastewater in percent of streamflow (ACCWW%) and Predicted Environmental Concentrations (PECs) of select constituents. Virginia and West Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (VPDES, WVPDES) discharge facilities, outfall locations, and stream gages were spatially joined to the nearest river segment. Wastewater inputs from outfall locations were summarized by river [...]

Material Request Instructions

Instructions for obtaining previous versions: The previous version (1.0) will be available upon request of the Virginia and West Virginia Water Science Center, Richmond Virginia office. 804-261-2600, Jennifer Rapp Jrapp@usgs.gov or Chintamani Kandel ckandel@usgs.gov.

Purpose

Calculate accumulated wastewater and accumulated wastewater in percent (ACCWW %) and Predicted Environmental Concentrations (PECs) in the Shenandoah River watershed to visualize wastewater percentage and constituent concentrations in river segments. The result provides a screening-level view of river segments that receive treated or engineered water which may contain Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals that are not EPA regulated, but pass through the treatment process of permitted wastewater facilities.
