Description Priority pollutants/hazardous substances list compounds and resin acids were analyzed in 12 sediment samples collected at five lower Columbia River ports and an upstream reference area during September 22-24, 1987. Potential for sediment toxicity was assessed through bioassay with two crustacean species, Hyalella azteca (amphipod) and Daphnia pulex (cladoceran). Ports included in the survey were Camas, Vancouver, Kalama, Longview, and Ilwaco.
