Description To evaluate the effectiveness of efforts to control sources of problem chemicals to Thea Foss Waterway, samples of settling particulate matter (SPM) and in-place bottom sediments were collected between June 1989 and November 1992. All SPM samples were collected with the use of moored sediment traps. Chemical analyses focused on "problem" metals and organics, which were identified for Thea Foss Waterway during the Commencement Bay Nearshore/Tideflats Remedial Investigation (Tetra Tech, 1985).
