APPENDIX F

DRAIN-BY-DRAIN BOX PLOTS OF STORMWATER, BASE FLOW, AND STORM SEDIMENT DATA

Summary charts were prepared and statistical tests were performed on the following indicator parameters: Total Suspended Solids (TSS) Total lead Total zinc Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs, including phenanthrene, pyrene, and

indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene) Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) Mercury (Storm Sediment Only) Butylbenzylphthalate and Total Phthalates (Storm Sediment Only) Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) (Storm Sediment Only) 4,4’-DDT (Storm Sediment Only) Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (Storm Sediment Only)
