The Fall Line Toxics Program for 1994 is a continuation of a long term effort funded by the USEPA, Chesapeake Bay Program and the USGS cooperative program to make accurate load estimates of contaminants entering the Chesapeake Bay From the non-tidal portion of the watershed. This program has identified nine major tributaries on which to make fall line load estimates; combined the non-tidal portions of these tributaries contribute greater than 80% of the freshwater input to the Bay and hence, have the potential of transporting significant quantites of toxic constitutents to the estuary.
