4. Heated discharges 



5. Air-borne pollutants 



II. Continuous monitoring of significant pollution, as identified 



by studies above 

 III. Identification of sources of pollution. This requires indus- 

 trial and domestic waste inventories, evaluation of non- 

 point source pollution such as urban street run-off , erosion, 

 agricultural run-off, and irrigation return flows, as well as 

 domestic sewage and industrial discharges. Pollution from 

 vessels, oil discharges, and accidents Involving hazardous 

 substances must be recognized along with effluents from 

 saline water conversion plants and heated water discharqes. 



IV. Disposition and fate of pollutants in the estuary; dispersion, 

 concentration, degradation, precipitation, disposal to the air 

 V. Field studies of the estuarine environment 

 A. Physical -Chemical factors 



1. Salinity 



2. Temperature 



3. Dissolved Oxygen 



4. Turbidity 



5. Water currents, flushing, tidal action, and other 

 hydraulic features 



6. Wave and wind action
