Description A survey of chemical contaminants was conducted for ten Washington lakes as part of the Washington State Department of Ecology's 1992 Lake Water Quality Assessment Project. Whole bottom-feeding fish, predator fish muscle, and bottom sediments from Potholes Reservoir, Long Lake (Spokane River), Roses Lake, Lake Sammamish, and Ward Lake were analyzed for a variety of organic compounds and metals. Duck, Spanaway, Ohop, Ketchum, and Silver Lakes were sampled for copper in sediments.
