Description A screening level survey of sediment quality in inner Shelton Harbor was conducted in
May 1999. The primary objectives of this investigation were to (1) evaluate contaminant levels (metals and organics) near potential sources and (2) estimate the distribution of wood waste in subtidal sediments.

Ten nearshore stations were sampled for chemical screening analysis. An additional 37 subtidal stations were sampled to evaluate and quantify the distribution of wood debris. Field observations, digital photos, and towed underwater video were used to qualitatively assess the distribution of wood in the inner harbor.
