 State Water Resources Research Institute Program
Soap Lake in eastern Washington contains 25 to 125 grams per liter total dissolved solids depending on depth, has a pH of 10, and is known to support thriving populations of extremophilic microorganisms, specifically, haloalkaliphiles (bacteria that flourish in high salt and high pH environments).
Soap Lake and other unique saline-alkaline environments of the Western U.S. may not have the degradative capacity to withstand the levels of contamination that are tolerable in many freshwater systems: a fact that seems to have been overlooked by regulatory agencies and many environmental groups.
To determine impacts of non-point source contaminants on Soap Lake and haloalkaliphilic bacteria, we propose a study that crosses disciplinary boundaries to collect water and sediment samples to analyze for PAH and pesticides, and to quantify contaminant degradation rates and toxicity parameters for selected haloalkaliphilic Soap Lake bacterial isolates.
