Short Description

During 2006, pesticide sampling was conducted in the Cedar-Sammamish, Skagit-Samish, and Lower Yakima watersheds as part of the Surface Water Monitoring Program for Pesticides in Salmonid-Bearing Streams. This report summarizes data and briefly analyzes quality assurance/control performance for data verification.

Laboratory analyses were conducted for total suspended solids and 165 pesticide, herbicide, and degradate compounds. Field data were collected for discharge, temperature, pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen.

Abstract Long Description

From March through October 2006, pesticide sampling was conducted in the Cedar-Sammamish, Lower Skagit-Samish, and Lower Yakima watersheds as part of the Surface Water Monitoring Program for Pesticides in Salmonid-Bearing Streams. This report summarizes data and briefly analyzes quality assurance/control performance for data verification.

Year 2006 is the first of a three-year study cycle to investigate pesticide occurrence in the Skagit-Samish watershed, and the fourth in a six-year cycle to study pesticides in the Cedar-Sammamish and Lower Yakima watersheds. The purpose of this data summary is to provide results and document changes to the sampling program that occurred in 2006.

Laboratory analyses were conducted for total suspended solids and 165 pesticide, herbicide, and degradate compounds. Field data were collected for discharge, temperature, pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen.
