Summary

·        CH3D-FC calibrated and verified for simulating FC transport (Mancini’s Equ) in Sinclair and Dyes Inlets

·        Empirical approach used to estimate “typical” CSO volumes

·        Nov ’98 and Mar ’97 storms used to simulate overflow conditions

·        Fecal coliform persistence controlled by dispersion and decay from sunlight

·        FC concentrations predicted by model are based on conservative assumptions

·        Simulation of July 2002 spill in Sinclair Inlet agreed with field data (2 samples)
