Description This report provides upper-bound upland background concentrations for 18 metals across 11 state-designated watersheds in northeast Washington State. Determinations and analyses use existing data from multiple regional soil and tributary assessments. Comprehensive exploratory analyses are performed to select data and determination comparability. Advanced statistical analyses inform the selection of 90th percentile background concentration ranges for applications within the study area.
