Description In-line sediment traps were successfully deployed between September 1996 and January 1997 in three major stormwater discharges to Thea Foss Waterway (Foss Waterway) located in Commencement Bay, Tacoma, Washington. The primary objective of this investigation was to determine contaminant concentrations associated with particulates entering the waterway. These data are needed to refine source loading terms for Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP) modeling which is being conducted to evaluate the potential for recontamination of bottom sediments in Foss Waterway.
