Short Description

To follow-up earlier studies of the Everett Harbor/Snohomish River Delta area, sediment from 12 sites within the Ebey Slough - Quilceda Creek area were sampled for priority pollutants. The high concentrations of phenolics found in an earlier study in the area were not found in this study. Priority pollutants were not found at high concentrations and many sites had no organic priority pollutants. These study results suggest that no further work is necessary to evaluate potential contaminants in the study area.
