Abstract

The 1992 water quality survey was designed to assess water quality in Port Hope Harbour with respect to Provincial Water Quality Objectives (PWQO) for a range of appropriate physical parameters, nutrients, metals. Radionuclides were also sampled for comparison with appropriate guidelines. In some cases, comparisons with Drinking Water Objectives can be made, although it must be emphasized that drinking water is drawn directly from Lake Ontario, not the harbour. The survey was designed to facilitate a pre and post clean-up comparison of water quality and to allow a comparison of seasonal conditions. The results will be available for the Stage 2 RAP, and will form the basis for comparison with future RAP monitoring and surveillance data.
