   Sewage Sludge Spill; Schuykill River, PA.
   Schuykill River, PA.
   1. The NOAA NWS was contacted by the Delaware Emergency Management Agency concerning a release of sewage sludge at the mouth of the Schuykill River in Philadelphia. They requested a prediction as to when the plume may reach the city of Wilmington, DE. They were concerned about water intakes. The report stated that approximately 30,000 gallons of waste activated sludge (1,000 mg/l suspended solids) was released at 39.89N / 75.21W on Monday (2/16) at 1530 and ceased discharging this morning. NOAA ERD predictions estimate that the leading edge of the plume would be at Wilmington by today, but the concentration would be negligible.
   2. THREAT: OTHER. COMMODITY: WASTE ACTIVATED SLUDGE. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 30000 GALLONS.
