Recent Improvements Of Water Quality And Biological Indicators In Hillsborough Bay, The Northeastern Section Of Tampa Bay, Florida, J.O. R. Johansson

Reports

The City of Tampa was implicated as a major point source polluter of Hillsborough Bay based on its release since 1951 of primary treated wastewater effluent into the bay. To alleviate nutrient loads into Hillsborough Bay, the City of Tampa upgraded its Hooker's Point facility to advanced wastewater treatment (AWT) with a 60 MGD capacity. The transformation from primary treatment to advanced was successive.

Distribution Patterns And Accumulation Rates Of Fine-Grained Sediments In Upper Tampa Bay, Florida, Gregg R. Brooks

Reports

Tampa Bay, a drowned river valley, is the largest estuary on Florida's west coast.

Surface sediments consist of a mixture of carbonate and terrigenous clastic sands and muds.

The objectives of this study are to determine accumulation rates and processes controlling the distribution patterns of fine grain sediments.
