1999 Surface Water Ambient Toxics (SWAT) Monitoring Program Report. 1999 SWAT Report. This report contains the results of Maine’s 1999 Surface Water Ambient Toxic (SWAT) monitoring program. Much of the data was previously summarized in a progress report published in June 2000. That report was used by the SWAT Technical Advisory Group and the DEP in review and development of the 2000 SWAT workplan. All of the data have been used as soon as received in DEP’s water quality management activities wherever appropriate.

Important Note 6/11/01: The 1999 SWAT mussels for nickel and copper are being reanalyzed. The correct data will be added when the analysis is completed.

The report is organized into 4 parts, 1 Coastal, 2 Lakes, 3 Rivers and Streams, and 4 Special Studies. Within each part, results are presented in the order of the 1999 workplan.

Questions may be directed to authors of each study or to Barry Mower, DEP, SHS 17, Augusta, Maine 04333, tel: 207-287-7777.
