The research has been sponsored under 

 separate contracts by the Georgia-Pacific Corporation of 

 Bellingham, the Everett Technical Comniittee, which is com- 

 posed of representatives of the Scott Paper Company, 

 Simpson-Lee Paper Company, and the Weyerhaeuser Company of 

 Everett, and the research has also been sponsored by the 

 State of Washington Water Research Center and the U. S. 

 Public Health Service. Cooperating agencies are METRO, 

 the Washington Department of Fisheries, the U. S. Geological
