Missouri River

Spills may represent the greatest point source release of methyl parathion to groundwater and surface water. An accidental spill caused by a warehouse fire in Nebraska released methyl parathion to a drainage ditch that emptied into the Missouri River (Kawahara et al. 1967). In another incident, 10 tons of methyl parathion spilled in the Mediterranean Sea near Eg q)t as a result of a collision between two ships (Badawy et al. 1984).

In 1966 and 1967, when the use of endrin was not restricted, endrin was detected in 5 of 67 raw water samples from the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers (Schafer et al. 1969). At a later time when endrin use was substantially restricted, an Iowa study of 33 community water supplies using surface water found no detectable concentrations of endrin in the distribution systems (Wnuk et al. 1987). In an extensive water quality monitoring program conducted by the California Department of Health Services, endrin was detected (detection limit not specified) in only 2 of 5,109 public drinking water sources sampled from 1984 to 1992, at mean and maximum concentrations of 0.06 and 0.10 ppb, respectively (Storm 1994). Concentrations did not exceed the Maximum Concentration Level (MCL) of 0.2 ppb. In another recent study, endrin was not detected (detection limit not specified) in 32 samples each of raw water and highly treated reclaimed waste water undergoing evaluation as a possible supplement to raw water sources in San Diego, California (De Peyster et al. 1993).

Petty et al. (1998, 2000) used a vitellogenin (VGT) assay to assess the endocrine disrupting potential of contaminants in purified SPMD extracts. VGT is an egg yolk phosphoprotein precursor that is synthesized in the liver of female teleosts in response to estrogen from the ovary (Bailey, 1957). A wide variety of environmental contaminants have been shown to have estrogenic activity (Colborn et al., 1993). Equal portions of purified extracts from SPMDs, exposed in the Missouri River after the flood of 1993 and from the IWWTP at the Nogales Wash deployment were individually injected into immature rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) as described in Section 6.4. The SPMD extracts contained elevated levels of complex mixtures of contaminants, including PAHs and pesticides. The fish injected with these sample extracts exhibited VGT induction, while no induction was observed in fish injected with any of the blank sample extracts.

Zierath et al. (1980) measured sorption isotherm data for benzidine on sediments and soils. Using Missouri River sediment withy,. = 0.023 kg oc kg-1 solid, CEC = 190 mmol kg-1, and a specific surface area Aswf = 131 m2 g 1, they obtained the following sorption data ... 

Ill the United Slates, common corundum is found in New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Virginia. North Carolina. South Carolina and Georgia sapphires of gem quality near Helena. Montana, associated with alluvial gold in the Missouri River. From the crystalline limestones and schists of the islands of Naxos and Samos in the Grecian archipelago most of the emery of commerce comes. Other deposits are near Ephesus in the Middle East, and in the mwn of Chester in Massachusetts. The word corundum conies from the Hindu, kurand emery is derived from the Greek name for this substance.

Relations of Silt-Load to Flow and Velocity—It is difficult to obtain a relation between silt-load and flow and velocity, since the amount of silt present depends on unpredictable factors. In connection with studies of silt transportation in the Missouri River by the Corps of Engineers (19356), the following empirical relations were obtained at Kansas City...
