Kepone Monitoring At Skiffs Creek : In Fulfillment Of Contract Number Dacw65-79-C-0027, Harold D. Sloan, Michael E. Bender
Kepone Monitoring At Skiffs Creek : In Fulfillment Of Contract Number Dacw65-79-C-0027, Harold D. Sloan, Michael E. Bender
Reports
Kepone entered the James River estuary from point sources of production and through runoff from unauthorized disposal sites in the vicinity of Hopewell, Virginia. The total quantity of Kepone released to the river is not known, however, about 1.5 x 106 kg were produced between 1966 and 1975. At present we estimate that 30,000 kg reside in contaminated sediments of the estuary.
Bed sediments are contaminated from the source at Hopewell to Hampton Roads, a distance of 88 kilometers. Patterns of contamination vary with sediment type and distance from the source. Major Kepone sinks exist in the Jamestown - Dancing …

Ecological Study Of The Tidal Segment Of The James River Encompassing Hog Point (Site Of The Surry Nuclear Power Station) : Completion Report, Robert A. Jordan, Patrica A. Goodwin, Charles E. Sutton
Reports
The Surry Power Station discharges cooling water into the transition zone of the James River. Phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthos, and fouling organism communities were sampled during the years 1969 through 1978, which encompassed a preoperational and an operational period. Temporal changes in the biotic communities followed seasonal patterns of temperature and salinity in the study area, and reflected inherent reproductive patterns of the organisms. Spatial patterns reflected the transport of organisms from the river in the vicinity of the intake to the zone encompassed by the discharge plume, as well as periodic bursts of meroplankton generation in the cooling water canals. …
