Trace Metal and Major Ion Inputs into the Olentangy River from an Urban Storm Sewer

Abstract: Trace metal clean techniques were used to sample and analyze the input of dissolved trace metals, major ions, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from a storm sewer along an urban highway in Columbus, OH. The outfall, draining a 3.6 ha sewershed with 100% impermeable surface area, discharges into the Olentangy River. Dissolved Pb (average concentration of 3 nM) and dissolved Zn (average concentration of 127 nM) were found to be much lower in concentration than reported in previous investigations of dissolved me… Show more

“…Except for industrial emission, these five metals have significant traffic related sources (Callender and vanMetre, 1997;Gardner and Carey, 2004). With the rapid process of urbanization, the number of automobiles and the impervious surface ratio increased dramatically, which would indefinitely result in these heavy metals depositing in the lake sediments of the receiving water bodies.…”

“…The process of urbanization and industrialization is accompanied by increased automobile and industrial emissions of heavy metals to surrounding water bodies (Arnason and Fletcher, 2003;Vaalgamaa, 2004). Except industrial emission, most heavy metals have significant traffic related sources (Callender and vanMetre, 1997;Gardner and Carey, 2004;Ona et al, 2006). Even treated urban effluents can serve as point sources of metal contaminants to receiving waters (Gobeil et al, 2005), and it has been shown that management of storm water in urban areas leads to the accumulation of polluted sediments at the water-sediment interface of various aquatic ecosystems (Mermillod-Blondin et al, 2005).…”

“…During rainfall, RDS is transported into the receiving waters, where it has a marked effect on water quality and aquatic biota [5]. Urban storm runoff has been deemed one of the leading sources of water quality impairment for rivers, lakes and estuaries [6]. It is also well known that urban storm runoff is much more difficult to control due the random nature of rainfall and uncertainty of the pollution source [7].…”

“…Thus, the discharged solids fiom the municipal sewage tend to accumulate in the sediments near the discharge point. At the farther sites, however, with dilution and slower accumulation of pollutants, the influence of the external loading is gradually reduced (Gobeil et al 2005, Gardner and Carey 2004, Xie et al 2001. The vertical distribution pattern, with decreased pollutants with sediment depth, suggests that the intensification of human activities and the rapid development in recent decades have led to the lake environment receiving more pollutions than previously.…”
