Biological Features of Intertidal Communities Near the U.S. Navy Sewage Outfall, Wilson Cove, San Clemente Island, California

Book Description
Studies on the effects of a low-volume discharge of raw sewage on rocky marine intertidal communities near Wilson Cove, San Clemente Island, California included taxonomic surveys and quantitative assessments of standing stock, community structure and primary production for the sewage-affected area and nearby unpolluted (control) areas. Additionally, a comparative populational study of the limpet Acmaea limatula revealed that only larger individuals were present in the outfall area. Near the outfall pipe, intertidal communities were characterized by lower species diversity, reduced standing stocks of large, canopy-forming intertidal macrophytes (which largely had been replaced by a low-growing algal turf) and an abundance of suspension-feeding animals. The most productive macrophytes were among those most abundant in the outfall area. Additional manipulative studies revealed that the outfall area consisted of disclimax communities. (Author).
Waste Disposal In The Oceans

Book Description
After a decade of attempts to control pollution with broad, sweeping legislation on a national scale, recent efforts have recognized the need to evaluate waste disposal on a case-by-case or regional basis, incorporating new knowledge about the consequences of disposal. This book examines the major uses and effects of waste disposal in the ocean, paying particular attention to California's coastal waters. The contributors, representing public agencies, academe, and research institutions, take into account environmental concerns while they focus on developing management strategies of using the oceans for waste disposal. The book is a result of the 1982 symposium "Ocean Disposal in the 1980s," which was sponsored by the Southern California Academy of Sciences

Environmental Study of the Sewage Outfall Area at San Clemente Island. An Open-Ocean Sewage Disposal Model

Book Description
An environmental-impact study of the San Clemente Island sewage discharge site was used as a model to predict the effects of dumping raw sewage into the open ocean. Coliform bacterial counts, used to assess water sanitary quality, showed that the water at distances greater than several hundred feet from the outfall was within standards for swimming beaches. Biological surveys revealed that plant and animal life was noticeably altered only within about 50 ft from the discharge. Dye-diffusion studies and dissolved-oxygen measurements demonstrated that normal ocean mixing is adequate to prevent oxygen depletion under open-ocean conditions. From an esthetic standpoint, odors and floatable solids were insignificant. The San Clemente Island findings were extrapolated to gauge the effect of ship sewage discharges in the open ocean, with completely harmless results predicted.
