The objective of this project is to compile existing information into a format that will allow endangered species recovery planners to consider risks posed by various sources and types of water pollution. Identification of sources of pollution should include point- and nonpoint-sources. it is unlikely that all sources of pollution in all water bodies within the Willamette and Lower Columbia River evolutionarily significant units are known, but reasonable extrapolations can be accomplished by determining classes of pollution likely to result from various land use practices.
