Differentiate between point and nonpoint source
pollution
Understand how nonpoint source pollution reaches
Puget Sound through stormwater runoff

of low dissolved oxygen in South Puget Sound

Nonpoint Source Pollution
Copyright © 2012, Facing the Future
![Page 32: Water, Science, and Civics: Stormwater Pollution and Ecosystem Services](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7f66b4a7959fe278b459d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
2004 Water Quality Assessment for dissolved oxygen (D.O.) in South Puget Sound
Lesson 3
Nonpoint Source Pollution
Copyright © 2012, Facing the Future
![Page 33: Water, Science, and Civics: Stormwater Pollution and Ecosystem Services](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7f66b4a7959fe278b459d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Why focus on dissolved oxygen (D.O.)?
Aquatic species get oxygen from the water
Low levels of D.O. can stress aquatic species Dissolved Oxygen Level Impact on Salmon
9 mg/L Optimal
7-8 mg/L Acceptable
3.5-6 mg/L Poor
Below 3.5 mg/L Stressful or fatal
Lesson 3
Nonpoint Source Pollution
Copyright © 2012, Facing the Future
![Page 34: Water, Science, and Civics: Stormwater Pollution and Ecosystem Services](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7f66b4a7959fe278b459d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
How do nutrients contribute to low D.O.? •Plant growth is limited by
nutrient availability. (How
fertilizer makes plants
grow.)
•Excess nutrients (N and K)
in water can cause excess
growth of algae.
•When the plants die, the
decomposition process
uses up oxygen in the
water.
•The result is hypoxia, or
oxygen depletion.

Do factors other than nutrient pollution lead
to hypoxia?
Why is dissolved oxygen lower:
in summer months?
in stagnant water?
at greater depths?
Lesson 3
Nonpoint Source Pollution
Copyright © 2012, Facing the Future
![Page 37: Water, Science, and Civics: Stormwater Pollution and Ecosystem Services](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7f66b4a7959fe278b459d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What scientific questions would you ask to
determine how to address hypoxia?
Questions being researched by the UW School of
Oceanography’s ORCA program:
Are human-derived nutrient inputs currently small
relative to natural (physical and biological) fluxes?
Will increases in nutrient inputs (eutrophication) as
population and industrialization increase adversely
impact water quality in South Puget Sound?
What are the key factors in the cause of hypoxia in
southern Hood Canal?

Scenario: According to the Washington Department of
Ecology, there are millions of pounds of toxic pollution that
enter Puget Sound every year. A number of aquatic
species – including fish, birds, and barnacles – have
become endangered because of this pollution.
Government officials, large companies, tribal groups,
concerned citizens, and non-governmental organizations
have all been asked to attend a town hall meeting in order
to determine what next steps to take in order to protect the
endangered species and to prevent other species from
becoming endangered. Your group has been asked to
present a well-articulated, compelling plan to help
decrease pollution in the Sound.

Whole Group Discussion Questions
Who do you think should be responsible for
decreasing the pollution in Puget Sound?
Was achieving consensus and forming alliances
with other groups a difficult process? Why?
Are there other groups who should have attended?

prevention that none of the groups spoke of?
What policies do you think could be created to
prevent pollution from reaching the Sound? Copyright © 2012, Facing the Future
