| Description |
Ecology adopted the Sediment Management Standards (SMS) Chapter 173-204 WAC in March 1991, establishing Ecology’s requirements for monitoring sediment quality in the state of Washington. Biological effects criteria were established based on Amphipod, Larval, Juvenile Polychaete, and Microtox-Saline Extract sediment bioassays as identified in the Puget Sound Estuary Program (PSEP) Bioassay Protocols. A review of the SMS bioassay suite was undertaken in preparation for a scheduled review and possible revision of the SMS in 1995. |
