  1.

  2. Henderson/M.L. King CSO Study Objectives • Eliminate CSOs to Lake Washington • Minimize impact of CSOs at Norfolk site on water and sediment quality • Ensure no sediment recontamination following cleanup of contaminated sediments at Norfolk • Evaluate impact of treated CSOs • Evaluate impact of Norfolk storm drain discharges

  3. Norfolk Site Map

  4. Constituents of Concern • Mercury • 1,4-dichlorobenzene (1,4-DCB) • Benzoic Acid • Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) • PCBs

  5. CSO Treatment Approach • Treat resulting CSOs at Norfolk before discharge to the Duwamish using: • Rectangular clarifier (volume: 3.2-5.2 MG) • Tunnel (length = 3,600 ft, diameter = 14.5 ft, volume: 4.4 MG)

  6. Modeling Approach • Water quality data collection • Synthetic hydrographs of CSO and storm water flow rates • Model of solids removal during treatment (PHEONICS/Partrak) • Model of toxics removal during treatment (WASP/TOXI5) • Hydrodynamic model of initial dilution (CORMIX3) • Sediment recontamination screening model (SEDCAM/METSED)

  7. Norfolk Storm Drains Norfolk CSO Inflow Water Duwamish River Inflow Partitioning Duwamish River Outflow Cd Cp Solids Settling Sediment First-order losses (diffusion/decay) Cp Solids Deep Burial C(t) = Accumulation - Burial - Loss from diffusion/decay SEDCAM/METSED Model

  8. SEDCAM/METSED Model Description • Steady-state box model • Quasi-dynamic through use of dilution prediction in each time step • Considers contaminant partitioning to settling sediment • Mixing occurs with previously deposited sediment • Losses occur through deep burial, diffusion, and decay

  9. SEDCAM/METSED Model Description (continued) • Generally conservative • Does not consider dynamic movement and dilution of discharge plume during each storm/CSO event • Does not consider contaminant losses due to resuspension and transport of contaminated sediment

  10. SEDCAM/METSED Model Application • Sediment recontamination evaluation performed for: • Rectangular clarifier design • Tunnel design • Norfolk storm drain discharges

  25. Comparison of Treated CSO and Norfolk Drain Discharges

  26. Conclusions • Treated CSO discharges at Norfolk will not recontaminate sediments • Recontamination of sediments with DEHP may occur due to untreated discharges from Norfolk drains
