| Study Name | Puget Sound Basin Railroad Track PAH and Metals Baseline Study |
| EIM Data Entry Review Status | Reviewed |
| Study Type | General environmental study |
| Study Purpose | Prior studies by Ecology and others have identified polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as a threat to the environment. Ecology will conduct a baseline study to establish PAH and metals levels in soil, sediment, and water at 11 mainline railroad track sites within the Puget Sound basin. Study site locations were selected allowing access for sampling that included railroad lines through publically owned parks, and within the tidal zone of marine waters, or beyond right-of-way boundaries for freshwater. Results will establish baseline PAH and metals concentrations at 11 sites for the area between mainline railroad tracks and surface waters. |
