Sea Water IntakeSea Water IntakeSea Water IntakeSea Water Intake
Two independent intakes
• Class AA seawater from Sequim Bay
Four separate distribution systems
• Seawater and freshwater to testing facilities
Ambient seawater (9°C to 11°C) at a rate of 250 gpm
Seawater supplied to labs at 4°C to 38°C
Up to 20 gpm freshwater from uncontaminated groundwater from 11°C to 30°C
Waste Water Treatment FacilityWaste Water Treatment FacilityWaste Water Treatment FacilityWaste Water Treatment Facility
40,000 gal ground holding tank comprised of four separate cells
Removal of particulates -sedimentation and filtration
Disinfection of biologic agents - breakdown of organics using ozonation
Removal of organics and disinfection byproducts via granular activated carbon adsorption
Treated Wastewater Discharge – permitted through the NPDES process.

HOW WILL TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES BE EVALUATED?
Project Example EPA’s Endocrine Disruptor Screening
Program $34 M research program Development of tools for screening &
testing chemicals that have potential endocrine disruptor effects
No standardized tests for evaluating these compounds exist
