3L. BtaCc of Michigan l
lilehigon instituted a ioonltoring progrso for polychJotiflatEd biphenyls
(FOB;s) early in 1971. The initial program consisted of a state-wide water
sampling survey for determination of concentrations in inland waters and
tributaries to the Great Lakes.
Supplementary campling has since been
`
conducted on stream sediments, municipal raw water intakes, groundwater drinking
supplies, sanitary landfill runoffs, municipal wastewater treatment plants.
Industrial discharges, and fish from both inland and Great lakes waters. Sampling
is bains continued on a periodic basis for establishment of treads.
Quarterly water sanpling in thirty Michigan.tributaries showed that about
60 percent of the samples contained more than 0.01 ppb with one stream, the
* .I
Bagitiau River, having a high concentration of 2.9 ppb (Table 1}, Fish from the
'-
Saginaw River had PCB concentrations as high as 165 ppm (Table 2). Five Michigan _
streams had mean concentrations in water samples over 0.10 ppb. These were all
located in the populous southeastern lower peninsula which drains into lower
lake Huron, Lake St. Clair and lake Erie. Of the lake Michigan streams, the
jCrand and Kalamazoo rivers consistently showed the highest concentrations with
means of 0.041 and 0.065 ppb, respectively. .
'
A study of transport of LCB's to lake Michigan on suspended solids was
conducted during March-May, 1973, on the Grand, Kalamazoo and St. Joseph rivers.
Sediment traps were suspended 1--2 meters off the bottom of the rivers and
collected at varying time intervals in each river ranging from 3 times weekly
to once a month. Concentrations of FCB*s vere notably higher in the setcleable
solids from the Knlamasoo River than, from the Grand and St. Joseph rivers (Table 3} .
Tire over--all mean for all samples were 3.52, 0.99 and 0.97 ppm (oven--dry basic) for
the Kalnm.too, Grand and Sc. Joseph riverr., respectively. This data substantiates
earlier results Indicating elevated levels of I'Ci'-'s in the Kalamazoo Ulvcr watershed. Kxten.'iive sampling at upstream sections of the watershed has identified past and

streams have generally been less than 0.01 ppb (Tables 4 & 5). . limited sampling

Analyses of surface water runoff from sanitary and industrial landfills in
Michigan suggest that these are a to inor source of environmental contamination,
live of the 9 samples collected had ECB concentrations ranging from 0.04 to
0.30 ppb while the others contained less than 0.01 ppb.
Sampling of municipal wastewater treatment plant CKWTP) effluents throughout
i.
Michigan in 1971 and 1972 indicated that many KWTP.'s represent major point
Sources of TCB loss to surface waters of the state (Table 6). The average TCB
concentration of 60 effluentc sampled was 2.55 ppb. Ubile only seven of the . 1CRTP effluents exceeded 1 ppb, the Bay City tfi-TTP located on tVie Saginaw River had
an average effluent concentration of 120 ppb (high of 340 ppb) , skewing the over-all average for all plants sharply upward. The average concentration excluding the Bay City tCVUT was 0,56 ppb. Those WJTF*s with TCP concentrations in effluents exceeding 1 ppb were, with one exception, located on rivers already identified as having high levels of I'CB ro:: U'v.imt ion. -Sampling of 50 WlffP effluents in 1973 continues to show.-h i gh FOB level.!: with an average concentration *f 0.52 ppb (Table 7), including the: Bay City plant.

_ Sampling of sewage sludge from 57 of the 58 Vn-JTF's tested in 1973 showed .
Jioy City to have the highest concentration of BCD's in the sludge being
removed by the treatment process. The TCB coiicortration in the sludge-from
the boy City plant v;?-s 352 ppm (dry -weight basis) compared to a state--wide

'
.
In an attempt to identify major contributors of Pen's within municipal V7WTP systems, sampling at hey points in the interceptor systems has been conducted within the municipalities of bay City, Mt. Clemens, Saginaw, Adrian,
Detroit and Kalamazoo. This program has been very successful. The City of
Detroit has, in fact, established an on-going sampling program within their
.
interceptor system with analytical assistance from the State. They are Bpplying
a new City of Detroit sewer ordinance which limits discharges within the
wastewater system to a maximum of D.l ppb.
-
* .
.
. A broad scale sampling of industrial discharges throughout Michigan has shown
results indicative of the widespread usage of PCB's. Keaxly half of the industrial discharges sampled have contained more than 0.1 ppb with many in excess of 1 ppb, 3?he' highest concentration detected in an industrial discharge in Michigan has
been 7,200 ppb. Automotive plants, chemical companies, and paper product
taanufncturers are among the types of industries with highest concentrations.. Also industries and building complexes; including some schools and hospitals,
with heat transfer systems appear to be another major source. Industries -identified as sources of I*CIJ pollution have been encouraged to changeover to
replacement compounds or to clean up their operation so that discharges of TCB's do not exceed the present Michigan guideline of 0.1 parts pur billion.
^ Michigan is currently trying to get a handle on losses from electrical
transformers in lenhage, servicing, and replacement within plants. It appears
that many of the snail transformer maintenance companies am still dumping VCH'r.

Intensive scrupling throughout the river basin in search of point sources successfully isolated ten major points of FCB discharge to the river system.
'
Mach of the industrial sources were ashed, to identify the cause of their losses
and to tnl'.e corrective action. Control measures iin. most cases, conversion to
non--PCS containing products, have proved very effective toward lowering the

eitc near the river mouth was observed (Table S) in October, 1972, and

concentrations have remained low since that date. I
