| Description | To evaluate the effectiveness of source control efforts in reducing the input of problem chemicals to Sitcum Waterway, samples of settling particulate matter (SPM) and in-place bottom sediments were collected between July 1990 and June 1991. All SPM samples were collected with the use of moored sediment traps. Chemical analyses focused on arsenic, copper, lead, zinc, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and dibenzofuran which were identified as problem chemicals in the waterway during the Commencement Bay Nearshore/Tideflats (CBNT) Remedial Investigation (Tetra Tech, 1985). | ||||
