All data are reported on a dry weight basis. Analytical techniques included the fact that samples were analyzed following EPA methodology for all chemical analyses. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers methodology was followed for physical parameters.

All results are reported on a dry weight basis. The information for this metadata was taken from the Columbia River Basin: Sediment Database Abstracts.
