Summary
Abstract: These data represent the USACOE, Portland District's sediment quality
data with regard to dioxins and furans in sediment samples from areas
that have already been dredged and areas that may potentially be
dredged (Siipola 1994). Sample locations include areas where there is
potential dioxin and furan sediment contamination and/or where
previous sampling has indicated the presence of similar ... View entire text

Quality Laboratory method blanks and internal standards were prepared and
processed along with each extraction batch as part of the quality
assurance/quality control procedure. The only qualifier code used in
the data set provided was "U" - Not detected. Value given is the
detection limit. Users of these data should be reminded that targeted
sample areas consisted of areas where dioxins and furans were expected
to be present. All data entered in the database were reviewed for
data entry errors. All detected errors were corrected.
