Description:

Puget Sound waters contained suspended matter uncontaminated by metals except for Elliott and Commencement Bays. Five metals [arsenic (As), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), antimony (Sb) and zinc (Zn)] were elevated in suspended matter collected at stations in Elliott and Commencement Bays compared to control locations in Puget Sound and the Pacific Northwest. All of these metals are on the EPA list of priority pollutants. During July - November 1979, eighteen chlorinated compounds were detected in suspended matter collected from Hylebos Waterway which discharges into Commencement Bay.
