Series Description: This report focuses on sources of contamination in the drainage of White Oak Creek based on surveys done in July and August 1985. Major sources for each of four contaminants are given. For cesium, the main source is the Process Waste Treatment Plant. The bulk of the document consists of tables which show "Indicator Calculations of WOC Active Fluxes." These indicate site, volume, and flow during the study period, and concentration levels of zinc, cobalt-60, strontium-90, and cesium-137 in becquerels per kilogram (Bq/kg). A discussion of the chemistry of the contaminant metals in the watershed is included.
