| Short Description |
This publication explains how to use a new tool the state Department of Ecology developed to analyze sediment contamination. The database and analytical system, called SEDQUAL, evaluates the quality of both marine and freshwater sediment. While the SEDQUAL Information Management System has long had the capability to evaluate chemistry and bioassay data, it can now evaluate the amount of life in the benthic, or bottom, layer . | |
