Description Sediments from nine sites within Lake Roosevelt and the upstream reach of the Columbia River were tested for metals concentrations and toxicity by the Washington State Department of Ecology during May 2001. The resulting data were needed to determine if these sites should remain on the federal Clean Water Act Section 303(d) list of impaired waterbodies. Sediment samples were analyzed for arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, and zinc.
