Preservation Cool4DegC Sample kept cool from 1 to 4 degrees Celsius Y
COLLECTION PETERSEN Grab sampler, Petersen, size unspecified Y
COLLECTION BOTTLEDIP Bottle, direct dip/fill, type unspecified Y
PRESERVATION IspAlcohol Isopropyl Alcohol Y
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric040 Percent of organisms that are sensitive to perturbation Y
Derivation TRC-CALC Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) by Field Measurement of Manganese+TRC minus Manganese using a Residual Chlorine Meter Y
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric043 Number of organisms in the sample that are tolerant to perturbation Y
Preparation FILTER.45um-GFF Water sample filtered with 0.45 micron (micrometer) glass fiber filter (GFF) Y
PREPARATION Rinsed Specimen rinsed three times with distilled/deionized water prior to analysis. Y
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric036 The number of taxa in the sample representing organisms that consume other organisms Y
Collection Niskin-RealtimeClose Bottle, Niskin, electronically triggered by field tech to close at target (nominal) depth, based on real-time pressure sensor measurement. Closure depth recorded by data logger and post-processed. Y
COLLECTION CORE-IMPCT Corer, impact Y
Collection DGT Diffusive gradients in thin films passive sampling device Y
Preparation ID-COUNT-PREP500 500-organism count from minimum 2 of 30 6x6 cm square sub-sampling grid. Prepped in alcohol prior to observation under a dissecting microscope. Y
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric034 Percent of organisms considered to be tolerant of various types of perturbation Y
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric039 The percent of the sample represented by organsims that feed on attached periphyton (Scrapers) and organisms that feed on coarse organic matter from the substrate. Y
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric002 Number of taxa in the sample that breathe air directly rather than extracting it from water using gills. Y
PRESERVATION ETHANOL95 Sample preserved in 95% ethanol-filled container upon collection Y
PREPARATION SIEVE-25.4MM Sieved with 25.4 millimeter screen Y
Collection PeriphytonCoarseVeg Periphyton Sampling Methods for composite sample containing material collected from Course Substrate + Emergent Vegetation or Submerged Vegetation Habitats Y
Preparation FILTER.45um Water sample filtered with 0.45 micron (micrometer) filter (material unspecified) Y FILTER.45M
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric046 Compares diversity by accounting for both richness and evenness of the sample. Generally this metric scores between 0 and 4.5. A higher score represents higher diversity. It is not used to compare sites, however since it is affected by changes in both the number of taxa and the relative abundance of those taxa. Y
Preparation FILTER1.0um-GFF-BF-B Water samples filtered with 1.0 micron glass fiber filter (GFF), binder free (BF), borosilicate glass (B). Y
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric048 The percent of organisms in the sample that have a pollution tolerance value greater than 8 (Klemm et al 2002). Y
Collection FISH-LONGLINE Fish collection, with multiple hooks on a long line typically anchored to the bottom. Y
COLLECTION KEMMER-ACRYLIC Bottle, Kemmerer, Clear Acrylic Y
COLLECTION ECKMAN Grab sampler, Eckman, size unspecified Y
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric042 Percent of organisms tolerant of perturbation Y
Collection CORE-EPA-SW5035 Corer, EPA SW-846 Method 5035 Core Sampler Y
Measurement FLOW-SPRINKLER Flow estimated by individual sprinkler head discharge rate X number of sprinkler heads. Y
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric027 Compares richness between two sites where different numbers of individuals have been collected, its value can be greater than 1, while other diversity measures score between 0 and 1. Y
Measurement ISE-Cl Chloride by Silver Chloride Ion-Selective Electrode Y ISE-Chloride
Collection OTTERTRAWL Fish or macroinvertebrate collection by netting, otter trawl Y
Preparation FILTER0.1um Sample filtered with 0.1 micron (micrometer) filter (material unspecified) Y
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric006 The percent of the sample represented by organisms that have adaptations to help them attach to surfaces in flowing water. Y
COLLECTION CORE-SONIC Corer, Sonic drill sampler barrel Y
Collection SoilGasSubSlabTip Soil Gas or Vapor Sub-Slab Sampling Probe Tip Y
Collection US-DH-TEF Isokinetic depth-integrating USGS DH sampler with Teflon components (bottle, cap, nozzle). Y
Analysis ASTM-D5057-10 Standard Test Method for Screening Apparent Specific Gravity and Bulk Density of Waste ASTM Y
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric049 The percent of the sample represented by organisms that can control the speed and direction of movement in the water column. Y
Measurement GWL-OIL-METER Product or groundwater level by electronic oil/water interface meter Y OIL-METER
MEASUREMENT photometer Light attenuation or light intensity at depth by underwater photometer. Y
Preparation FILTER1.5um-GFF Water sample filtered with 1.5 micron (micrometer) glass fiber filter (GFF) Y
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric024 Uses tolerance values to weight abundance in an estimate of overall pollution. Originally designed to evaluate organic pollution Y
MEASUREMENT BIOHabitatMetric019 A measure of how evenly each taxon is represented in the sample. A community with equal numbers of individuals for each taxa present in the sample would be considered the most diverse community. Y
Derivation N-CALC-351.2-353.2 Total Nitrogen calculated by adding Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen by EPA351.2 (Semiautomated Colorimetry) and Nitrate-Nitrite by EPA353.2 (Colorimetric, Automated Cadmium Reduction). Y
