Abstract The extent and severity of hydrocarbon pollution in lake core sediments, streambed sediments, stormwater and street surface sediments were investigated in the Brunette River watershed in Burnaby, British Columbia. Lake core sediments document a dramatic increase in hydrocarbon input to Burnaby Lake concurrent with development of the region. Hydrocarbon concentrations in streambed sediments corresponded to the land use indices of impermeable area and traffic density. Hydrocarbon concentrations measured in stream runoff during storm events also corresponded with land use, while concentrations in street runoff were highly correlated (r2 = 0.995) to the log10 of local traffic volumes. Whereas land use appears to influence hydrocarbon concentrations found in streambed sediments, street surface sediment concentrations were quite uniform throughout the watershed. Road washoff of non-particulate oil appears to be an important source of hydrocarbons to stormwater solids, and ultimately streambed and lake core sediments. The combination of both source control and runoff treatment should result in the greatest and likely enduring reduction in urban runoff hydrocarbon concentrations.
