Gloucester 301 (h) Monitoring Program

Barbara Dinkins has been involved in the monitoring program associated with the secondary treatment waiver awarded to the City of Goucester since 1987. The waiver, awarded in 1985, requires a monitoring program made up of three components; sampling the treatment plant effluent for priority pollutants, water quality monitoring, and sampling sediments on the sea floor for benthic infauna and contaminants. Dinkins Biological’s role in the program is the identification of the marine benthic macroinvertebrates collected on site.
