1098C1--Columbia River CRITFC Tissue 1996
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Original file CRITFC.mdb.  These tables were converted into a FoxPro format. 

****DATA TYPES****
Data consisted of tissue data for years 1996-1998. The data was broken up to studyid C1= 1996 data, studyid C2 = 1997 data and studyid C3=1998 data.

****STATIONS****
Coordinates were provided in electronic Excel format, file "CRITFC.Vol2AppA-C.xls" sheet "A-2".

Excerpt from hard copy report regarding sampling locations (sec 1.4 from report), which contains all three studies C1, C2, C3. 
"One hundred and two fishing locations were identified by the Yakama, Nex Perce, Umatilla and Warm Springs tribal biologists.  Due to resource constraints, all of these sampling locations could not be sampled. The study design presents in detail the process that was used to reduce the number of sampling locations. Initially fishing locations that represented greater than 40% of each CRITFC's member tribes' fishing use for resident and anadromous fish species were identified. The number of fishing locations was further reduced by selecting sampling locations at the base of the watershed to represent the entire watershed (98,30,101,96) and limiting the number of sampling locations on the mainstream Columbia River to each of the dam reaches (6,7,8,9,14). Additional sampling locations (48,49) were added because they were near local pollution sources. Sample location 49 on the Yakima River was also important for rainbow trout spawning (personal communication CRITFC's member tribes).  Other sampling locations (3,21,21b, 62,63) were selected because of the concern for particular fish species.  The final sampling locations were located on 16 rivers and creeks and the mainstream Columbia. The actual sampling locations were variable within a study reach because of the sampling techniques and/or mobility of fish species. To simplify the data analysis, similar sampling locations within a study reach were combined to yield one study site"

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
After reviewing coordinates, the stationed and subsite id have unique coordinates. 
Therefore,  "S" & station id (not station index) & subsite id were used for stationid.

Sampleids are the last two digits of the sample_number. 

 
Duplicate results were reported for Hexachlorobenzene, based on two methods: Methods EPA 8081 and EPA 8270/SIM.   Assigned  labrep = "b" for Method EPA 8081.  It appears that this was the less frequent method for PAHs.

These "lab replicates" have a samptype=LD2 in smptiss file. 
 

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
In the summing routines, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

*** PAH Sums ***
Sums for low molecular weight PAHs (LPAHs) were generated using a FoxPro routine.  The individual compounds included in the sum (if measured in the study) are:
CHEMCODE         	CHEMNAME
ACENAPTHEN	Acenaphthene
ANTHRACENE	Anthracene
BIPHENYL	             Biphenyl
METNAP26_2	      2,6-dimethylnaphthalene
FLUORENE	      Fluorene
METHNAP_1	      1-Methylnaphthene
METHNAP_2	      2-Methylnapthene
METPHENAN1     1-Methylphenanthrene
PHENANTHRN     Phenanthrene
NAPTHALENE	      Naphthalene


Sums for high molecular weight PAHs (HPAHs) were generated using a FoxPro routine. The individual compounds included in the sum (if measured in the study) are:
CHEMCODE	CHEMNAME
BAA	Benzo(a)anthracene
BAP	Benzo(a)pyrene
BEP	Benzo(e)pyrene
CHRYSENE	Chrysene
BANTH2	Dibenzo(a,h)anthracene
FLUORATHN	Fluoranthene
PERYLENE	Perylene
PYRENE	Pyrene

Total PAHs were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH totals.

*** PCB Sums ***
The sums of congeners were calculated and reported as PCB_SUM_P.  Since there were less than 20 congeners measured for the study, the sum of the detected congeners was multiplied by 2.   Also the sums of Aroclors were calculated and reported as PCB_SUM_A.  In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.   The chemcode PCB_SUM represents the sums from the Aroclors. 

*** DDT Sums *** 
The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

*** Chlordane Sums ***
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

****QUALIFIERS****
Could not locate qualifier descriptions. 

Data anomalies:

There were many records where the concentration was blank, had a qualifier of R and most of the units are blank.  These were removed to table deleted.xls.

Chlorpyrifos-ethyl provides a casnumber which is equal to Chlorpyrifos-methyl. 
It is assumed that for June and July 1996, some of these Chlorpyrifos-ethyl chemical names appeared to be wrong.  The assumption was made that the chemicals marked as Chlorpyrifos-ethyl for June and July 1996 should be Chlorpyrifos-methyl.

Samples where this change was made from Chlorpyrifos-ethyl to Chlorpyrifos-methyl:

Studyid: C1
Stationid S101 sampleid 04, 09
Stationid S101A sampleid 05, 07, 08
Stationid S101B sampleid 06
Stationid S101C sampleid 90
Stationid S21 sampleid 70, 71 and 72
Stationed S30A sampleid 95, 96, 97, 98
Stationed S48F sampleid 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96 

Mean weight and length of fish are reported in database. Weight was provided in grams, and length was provided in mm. Converted mean length to cm (* 0.1). 

Converted PCB units where units = ng/kg to PPB (conc /1000)

Diallate-I (CAS 2302-16-4) and Diallate-II (CAS 2303-16-4) were reported for different sets of samples.  It was assumed that this was just a data entry error as no such CAS number as 2302-16-4 exists.  Therefore, all the results for these CAS numbers were coded as Diallate (CAS 2303-16-4).

Total PAHs were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH totals.

*** PCB Sums ***
The sum of the PCBs was calculated using PCB congeners (reported as PCB_SUM_P and PCB_SUM).  

Samples starting with "S" had only 15 congeners measured; the sum of the detected congeners for these samples was multiplied by 2.  The NOAA PCB_SUM code was not reported for these samples due to the lack of the number of congeners reported.

PCB_SUM_PR and PCB_SUM_C (17 NOAA congeners x 2) values are the reported sums that were originally provided by the investigators.  

*** DDT Sums *** 
The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

*** Chlordane Sums ***
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').



**Additional comments
Chemcode TEQ_R is the TOTAL of PCB TEQs reported by the investigators.
Tissue types: Assigned WH/NGC for "gutted body". (Whole body minus gut coils )
It was stated that "Middle Desdemona Sands (southside) is the same site as Upper Desdemona Sands". Stations were marked accordingly.  
There were several records where the concentration was blank. These were changed to -9.

Excerpt from hard copy report regarding sampling locations (sec 1.4 from report), which contains all three studies C1, C2, C3. 
"One hundred and two fishing locations were identified by the Yakama, Nex Perce, Umatilla and Warm Springs tribal biologists.  Due to resource constraints, all of these sampling locations could not be sampled. The study design presents in detail the process that was used to reduce the number of sampling locations. Initially fishing locations that represented greater than 40% of each CRITFC's member tribes' fishing use for resident and anadromous fish species were identified. The number of fishing locations was further reduced by selecting sampling locations at the base of the watershed to represent the entire watershed (98,30,101,96) and limiting the number of sampling locations on the mainstream Columbia River to each of the dam reaches (6,7,8,9,14).

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
After reviewing coordinates, the stationed and subsite id have unique coordinates. 
Therefore,  "S" & station id (not station index) & subsite id were used for stationid.

Sampleids are the last two digits of the sample_number (except for field duplicates as mentioned below). 
With the exception of sample number 97380990 (created a dup for 98064090). This became sampleid= 99.

 
Field duplicates have FD2 in the samptype field in the smptiss file.   Also, the sampleid for field duplicates uses the last two characters of the original sample Exsampid and "FD".
Field duplicates have the following exsampid in smptiss.
97080808  - duplicate of 97080807         
97080814   - duplicate of 97080811

Duplicate results for Hexachlorobenzene based on Methods EPA 8081 and EPA 8270/SIM.
Assigned method EPA 8081 labrep = "b".  It appears that this was the less frequent method for PAHs.

Duplicate results for Endosulfan Sulfate based on Methods EPA 8081 and EPA 8085.
Assigned method EPA 8081 labrep = "b".  It appears that this was the less frequent method for all Endosulfan samples.

These "lab replicates" have a samptype=LD2 in smptiss file. 

****CALCULATED RESULTS****

109728--Willamette Sediment Organic Compounds 1982-1984
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included.  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Total PCB results were provided with the study data.  There was insufficient data available to recalculate Total PCBs.

1097Ap--Injury Assessment Osprey Eggs 2008
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data were supplied in Excel files and in laboratory EDDs (text) from three GLIER (PCBs, OCP, and Hg) and Carleton (PBDEs).  Field data were provided in an Excel file from Jeremy Buck (USFWS).

****DATA TYPES****
Data includes tissue data from osprey egg sampling.  Two studies are linked: StudyID Ao and Ap.  For StudyID Ao, ten eggs (Axys results) were collected and analyzed for PCBs and PCDDs/DFs under Round 3.  In StudyID Ap, all eggs were analyzed for PCBs, OCPs, and mercury (GLIER lab) and PBDEs (Carleton lab) for the Portland Harbor Injury Assessment.  

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
All of the data were corrected to fresh weight, which is a correction for moisture loss to normalize the embryo stage to "fresh" or early incubation, when moisture is greatest.  This is done by obtaining a correction factor of mass of whole egg/volume of whole egg (i.e., a mass to volume of 1 would mean no moisture loss occured in the egg and it would have been freshly laid), and multiplying the wet weight by the correction factor (correction factor typical runs about 0.82 to 0.96 or so for an egg).   The data were reported to three significant digits, then rounded to three decimal places (J. Buck).  PCB data were then converted from pg/g to ug/kg; if the final rounded data resulted in a detected value of 0 (<0.001), then the value was reported to the minimum number of significant digits necessary to report the value.  

The measurement basis for data reported in fresh weight has a code of "FW."

GLIER data were reviewed with summary validation (also see comments under Qualifiers), and thus were given the QA Category QA2Cat1.
Carleton data were not validated, and thus given the QA Category NA1Cat1.

****STATIONS****
Coordinates were provided in latitude/longitude.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The whole Egg Mass is stored (g) in the weight column.

 
Lipids were run by both laboratories.  The first labrep is assignted to GLIER data, the second to the unvalidated Carleton data.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
*** PCB Sums ***
PCB Congeners were used for the PCB_SUM results.

PCB sums from congener data (chemcode PCB_SUM_P) were calculated using a database routine as follows:  In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The number of congeners used in the sum is included in the qualifier code.  Reported total congeners are included as chemcode PCB_SUM_PR.

PCB sums from Aroclor data (chemcode PCB_SUM_A) were calculated using a database routine as follows:  In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The number of aroclors used in the sum is included in the qualifier code.  Reported total aroclors are included as chemcode PCB_SUM_AR.

*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.	  The number of compounds used in the sum is included in the qualifier code.

****QUALIFIERS****
All of the GLIER data were validated.  The final Interpretive Qual field was used as the qualifier for the data, unless the validator did not qualify the data (acceptable as is), in which case the lab qualifier was reported.  

For data reported as below detection, the RDL was used as the reported concentration (with a "U" as the qualifer).

The PBDE data from Carleton lab was not validated.  Data reported as below detection were reported either as <MLOD and <MLOQ, with a range of MDLs and QLs.  
a.	Values reported as <MLOD were assigned the maximum value from the range of MDLs, with a U in qualifier field. 
b.	Values reported as <MLOQ were assigned the maximum value from the range of QLs, with a U in qualifier field. 

****OTHER****
Reported values of Chlorothalonil, Dactal and diMeTCP from Carleton were removed from the database (J. Buck).

****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry are included.

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

Information from data provider:
These data have been validated at Level 4 by EcoChem.  All chemical concentrations are reported as if two figures are significant, in units of ng/g, wet weight.  For method "SUM" on the ChemTiss worksheet, all analytes that were not detected above the lower limit of qunatitation (LOQ) are treated as "0" in the sums.  Sum CHLDs is the sum of a-chlordane, cis-nonachlor, g-chlordane, heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide, nonachlor III (a chlordane metabolite that we do not have a CAS number for, presumed to be 1-exo,2,2,4,5,6,7,8,8-octachloro-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-4,7-methanoindane), oxychlordane, and trans-nonachlor.  Sum DDTs is the sum of opDDD, opDDE, opDDT, ppDDD, ppDDE, and ppDDT.  Sum HCHs is the sum of aHCH, bHCH and lindane (gHCH).  Sum40CBs is the sum of the 40 chlorobiphenyl congeners listed and quantitated individually; SumBDEs is the sum of all the individual BDE congeners listed and qantitated individually. When each of the individual analytes summed are below their individual LOQs, '<LOQ' is reported for the sum.  In the qualifier field, 'ES' denotes that the analyte is not present in our calibration standards and is instead quantitated using the response factor of a closely related compound that elutes near the congener being quantitated.  Chlorobiphenyl congener cb66 is quantitated using the response factor of cb70; nonachlor III is quantitated using the response factor of trans-nonachlor.  Some chlorobiphenyl congeners coelute by our method, but the sum of the colelutors is reported as the congener listed; for example, cb153 is the sum of cb153 and cb132, which coleute by our method; cb101 is the sum of cb101 and cb90; cb138 is the sum of cb138, cb163 and cb164; cb187 is the sum of cb187, cb159 and cb182.  All chlorobiphenyl and bromo diphenyl ether (BDE) congeners are identified by their IUPAC numbers.  We do not know the IUPAC numbers for some BDE congeners that we measure in samples.  These congeners are identified as " 'Br'+bromination level+'DE'+n"; for example, Br5DE04 is a BDE congener with 5 bromines; '04' at the end is to distinguish this congener from other pentabrominated DEs with unknown IUPAC numbers.  We only measure four BDE congeners with unknown IUPAC numbers; two pentabromo, one hexabromo, and one heptabromo congener; and these are qunatitated using the response factors of BDE congeners in our calibration standards of the same bromination level.  In this case, none of these congeners was present above their respective LOQs in any of the field samples, so they are all qualified with 'U' for all samples.				
				

****DATA TYPES****
The data set included only tissue chemistry data.

****STATIONS****
Station locations were included as reported.
One station was confirmed from Table 1-Sample Index on page 3 of the Report, confirming that ClientSample ID "Mirror Lake Comp#49(1210,1213,1214); gutted body" is from station 100022 (Mirror Lake #1 - Lake (muddy bottom with emergent grass)) .

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
Tissue reported as gutted body.

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifier definitions were obtained from Validation Report.  Validation qualifier used unless none were provided, in which case the laboratory qualifier was used.
CALC_### = the calculated total where the number represents the number of analytes analyzed and considered for incorporation in the sum.
UCALC_### = the maximum value from undetected results where the maximum undetected value was greater than the calculated total for detected results.  The number represents the number of analytes analyzed and considered for incorporation in the sum.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
*** PCB Sums ***
PCB sums from congener data (chemcode PCB_SUM_P) were calculated using a database routine as follows:
In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

Congener sums were copied and used for the PCB_SUM results.

*** DDT Sums *** 
The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  

*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifiers were those original provided by Striplin Environmental Associates.

****BIOASSAY****
Statistical analysis were completed by a NOAA analyst using bioassay replicate data.  Data were tested using one-tailed t-tests with alpha=0.05 in comparison to the negative control.  The following t-tests were conducted: equal variance t-test; unequal variance t-test; non-parametric t-test.

Statistical tests were completed for Chironomus tentans survival and growth, and Hyalella azteca survival.

Any survival data in the replicate results which had survival>100% were set to a maximum value of 100.  The mean survival and control adjusted results were recalculated with the revised replicate values where applicable.   Original significance designations were placed in the sig_origin field with the following codes:  NS - not significant; NS* - not significant and high variability (Low Power); S - significant; NA - unable to complete test.  

For those results where the statistical test determined the result to be significant, but the mean sample survival was >=90%, the sigeffect flag (used in Query Manager queries) was set to false (High Power) because the result may not be biologically meaningful.

Where the growth endpoint for Chironomus tentans was not significant, but the survival endpoint for Chironomus was significant, the sigeffect field for the growth endpoint was set to true.

Filename: LWG_FS_SED_GASCO_AIR_DATA_GAPS_2010_2011_FOR_DIVER.xlsx

****STUDY PURPOSE****
The purpose of this study is: site assessment

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
The data qualified but the validator and the validation level are not known.

Field duplicate and laboratory replicate samples were included in this submission.

****DATA TYPES****
This study includes results for surficial and sub-surface sediment.

****STATIONS****
Station identifiers were included as they were presented in the source data without modification.

The original coordinates were provided projected in Oregon State Plane North HARN (INTNAT FT). Coordinates were-projected to NAD83 latitude and longitude using QGIS. The original XY coordinates were plotted using State Plane Feet and converted to a shapefile. Geometry Toolbox was used to re-define the projection to Geographic Coordinate System to NAD83.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The Sample identifiers reported in the source data are stored in the ExSampID field.  The Sample identifiers in the source data were truncated for inclusion in the database. 

Field duplicates were given the same SampleID as the paired sample, followed by a 'D' suffix and a sample type code of FDUP. 

Sampling dates and sample depth information were provided for all samples.  

As there were no other criteria available, lab reps were assigned according to detection limit values with the higher values for non-detect assigned lab rep 2.

****CHEMISTRY****
No dry weight-to-wet weight or wet weight-to-dry weight conversions were required.

Removed grain size results that were reported in % passing from original source data so that only % retained results remain.

From original grain size results reported in terms of seive/microns converted to the equivalent grain size classifications corresponding to the Wentworth scale (e.g., % gravel, % sand, % silt, etc.).

Rejected results are included in the database and not modified;  the associated QUALCODE includes R.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the source data included sums, these values were maintained and coded with a CHEMCODE/Chemical name that indicated these are "reported" results (see specifics below).  Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were recalculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

=== Grain Size ===
Results for %silt and %clay were summed to generate records for the chemcode = PCT_FINES.  A sum is only calculated if there are two or more results for %silt and/or %clay.

CHEMCODES = BAA, BAP, BEP, CHRYSENE, BANTH2, FLUORANTHN, PERYLENE, PYRENE

Total PAHs (chemcode = TOTAL_PAH) were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH chemicals as listed above.

=== PCB Sums === 
Aroclor sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_AR.

Total Aroclors were calculated and assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_A.  Sums are reported for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported: Aroclor 1016, Aroclor 1221, Aroclor 1232, Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1248, Aroclor 1254, Aroclor 1260, Aroclor 1262, Aroclor 1268 (CHEMCODES = AR_1016, AR_1221, AR_1232, AR_1242, AR_1248, AR_1254, AR_1260, AR_1262, AR_1268).

****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included.  Much of the sediment chemistry data were reported in wet weight with no available moisture or solids information, thus were qualified with an "NSR" qualifier (non-standard reporting unit).  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Total PCBs were reported.  However, no data was provided to enable the calculation of PCB sums.

*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').  

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

Qualifiers were those original provided by Striplin Environmental Associates.

****BIOASSAY****
Statistical analysis were completed by a NOAA analyst using bioassay replicate data.  Data were tested using one-tailed t-tests with alpha=0.05 in comparison to the negative control.  The following t-tests were conducted: equal variance t-test; unequal variance t-test; non-parametric t-test.

Statistical tests were completed for Chironomus tentans survival and growth, and Hyalella azteca survival.

Any survival data in the replicate results which had survival>100% were set to a maximum value of 100.  The mean survival and control adjusted results were recalculated with the revised replicate values where applicable.  Original significance designations were placed in the sig_origin field with the following codes:  NS - not significant; NS* - not significant and high variability (Low Power); S - significant; NA - unable to complete test. 

For those results where the statistical test determined the result to be significant, but the mean sample survival was >=90%, the sigeffect flag (used in Query Manager queries) was set to false (High Power) because the result may not be biologically meaningful.

Where the growth endpoint for Chironomus tentans was not significant, but the survival endpoint for Chironomus was significant, the sigeffect field for the growth endpoint was set to true.

  biphenyl  ('BIPHENYL')
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene  ('METNAP26_2')
  fluorene  ('FLUORENE')
  1-methylnaphthene  ('METHNAP_1')
  2-methylnapthene  ('METHNAP_2')
  1-methylphenanthrene  ('METPHENAN1')
  phenanthrene  ('PHENANTHRN')
  naphthalene  ('NAPTHALENE')
  
Sums for HPAHs included the following individual compounds (if measured in the study):

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

The congener sums were copied and used for the PCB_SUM results.


*** DDT Sums *** 
The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

1097U5--Portland Harbor Round 3B SedMobility Test 2008
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Source: Lower Willamette Group

****STUDY PURPOSE****
The purpose of this study is to implement supplemental sediment chemical mobility tests for the Remedial Investigation and Feasability Study (RI/FS) of the Portland Harbor Superfund Site.

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
The data is validated and qualified but the validator name was not provided.

The data validation indicated on the source data was QA2Cat1.

****DATA TYPES****
This study includes results for sediment.

****STATIONS****
The original coordinates were provided in NAD 1983 StatePlane Oregon North FIPS 3601. The reliability of the coordinates was not specified. Coordinates were converted to NAD83 latitude and longitude using ArcMap. The original XY coordinates were plotted using NAD 1983 StatePlane Oregon North FIPS 3601 and converted to a shapefile in ArcMap. Arc Toolbox was used to re-define the projection to Geographic Coordinate System to NAD83. 

Coordinates reported in the source data for Station 'LWM-C23' were found to be incorrect, these were temporarily changed to '0/0' until the correct coordinates can be found.

The Station identifiers in the source data were truncated for inclusion in Query Manager (excluding a "-" in the middle of the original stationID).

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The Sample identifiers reported in the source data are stored in the ExSampID field.  The Sample identifiers in the source data were truncated for inclusion in the database ("01" appended to end of sampleID)

Field duplicates were given the same SampleID as the paired sample, followed by a 'D' suffix and a sample type code of FDUP. 

Sampling dates and sample depth information were provided for all samples.

****CHEMISTRY****
Detection limits and Reporting limits were not available and were listed as "-9".

No dry weight-to-wet weight or wet weight-to-dry weight conversions were required.

Rejected results are included in the database and not modified;  the associated QUALCODE includes R.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Calculated totals were included in the source data without a complete explanation of summing conventions. Totals include chemicals from the following groups: Dioxins/Furans, PCB Congeners, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Pesticides, DDTs, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, and Volatile Organics. 
An addition at the end of the totals state "Calculated U = 1/2".

=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the source data included sums, these values were maintained and coded with a CHEMCODE/Chemical name that indicated these are "reported" results (see specifics below).  Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were recalculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

=== PAH Sums === 
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) sums reported in the source data have been assigned chemcodes of LPAHR, HPAHR, and PAH_SUMR.

Total low molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = LPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:
  acenaphthene
  anthracene
  biphenyl
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene
  fluorene
  1-methylnaphthene
  2-methylnapthene
  1-methylphenanthrene
  phenanthrene
  naphthalene
  
CHEMCODES = ACENAPTHEN, ANTHRACENE, BIPHENYL, METNAP26_2, FLUORENE, METHNAP_1, METHNAP_2, METPHENAN1, PHENANTHRN, NAPTHALENE

Total high molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = HPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:  
  benz(a)anthracene
  benzo(a)pyrene
  benzo(e)pyrene
  chrysene
  dibenz(a,h)anthracene
  fluoranthene
  perylene
  pyrene
  
CHEMCODES = BAA, BAP, BEP, CHRYSENE, BANTH2, FLUORANTHN, PERYLENE, PYRENE

Total PAHs (chemcode = TOTAL_PAH) were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH chemicals as listed above.

=== PCB Sums === 
PCB Congener sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_PR.

Total of PCB congeners were calculated and assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_P.  The total is the sum of congeners, with 30 or more congeners reported for each sample.

The congener sum was also reported with the chemcode PCB_SUM.

=== Chlordane Sums === 
Chlordane sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode CHLDN_SUMR.

The sums of Chlordane pesticides (CHLDNE_SUM) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported: alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane, cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor (CHEMCODES = CHLORDAN_A,  CHLORDAN_G, CHLO

=== DDT Sums === 
The sum of paired o,p'/p,p' isomers of DDT and its derivatives reported in the source data  have been assigned chemcodes of DDT_SUMR, DDE_SUMR, and DDD_SUMR.  The sums of all DDT isomers have been assigned the chemcode  DDT_TOTALR.

The sums of the DDT pesticides (DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using a minimum of 4 isomers.  The following pairs were summed when results for both isomers were reported for the sample:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

  fluoranthene ('FLUORANTHN') 
  perylene   ('PERYLENE') 
  pyrene  ('PYRENE')

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

Total PAHs are calculated as the sum of analytes listed in the LPAH and HPAH groups above.


*** PCB Sums ***
PCB sums from congener data (chemcode PCB_SUM_P) were calculated using a database routine as follows:
In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

PCB sums  from the Aroclor data (PCB_SUM_A) were calculated using a database routine.  Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

Congener sums were copied and used for the PCB_SUM results.


*** DDT Sums *** 
The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

109701--Columbia Basin Contaminant Data 1984-1990
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry and tissue chemistry data were provided.  

Much of the sediment chemistry data were reported in wet weight with no available moisture or solids information, thus were qualified with an "NSR" qualifier (non-standard reporting unit).  The un-qualified data that remain in the database are for dioxins/furans and TOC.  

All the tissue chemistry data were reported in dry weight with no total solids or moisture information to convert to wet weight, so each record has been qualified with an "NSR" qualifier (non-standard reporting unit).

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
No sums were calculated for the sediment chemistry data.  

For the tissue chemistry data, PCB_SUM is the sum of aroclors.  Where no Aroclors were detected, the PCB_SUM is the highest non-detect result reported with a "U" qualifier.  

Insufficient number of PAHs were reported to allow for the calculation of LPAH, HPAH, and TOTAL_PAH.  

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifiers were those original provided by Striplin Environmental Associates.

****BIOASSAY****
There was no toxicity data for this study.

****BIOASSAY****
UPDATE 09/16/2015:

For the biomass endpoints (SDCHTL59010D and SDHYAJ59028D), sig_ctrl was updated from U to NS when SIG_ORIGIN was null.

There were 51 records for the growth endpoints (SDCHTL04010D and SDHYAJ04028D) where SIG_ORIG2 and SIG_ORIGIN = N and SIGEFFECT = TRUE.  This was assumed to be an error and SIGEFFECT was updated from T to F, since the earlier studynote indicates that the "the results for the ODEQ findings (as described above) were put in the field sig_orig2."  and "The statistical significance results from ODEQ for growth were not changed."

Bioassay data were compiled in FoxPro and appended.

Four bioassay tests were conducted: Hyalella 28-day survival and growth and Chironomus 10-day survival and growth.
The original bioassay data were provided as the lab replicates (approx. 8 replicates per sample) with initial and final values.  For the survival data, the initial and final values were numbers of individuals in each beaker.  For the growth data, the initial and final values were weight in mg dry weight.

The replicate data were incorporated into biorep.dbf.  Then the biorep results by averaged and put into biosumm.dbf.  

If all the replicate for survival had no surviving organisms, then an "artificial" record was created in biosumm.dbf for the growth endpoint.  This record was given an effectval of -9.

On 10/14/08, records were created for biomass endpoints (SDCHTL59010D and SDHYAJ59028D) using data from the growth and survival as follows:
SDCHTL59010D
The biorep.value2 for the growth endpoint (average organism ash-free dry wt in mg) was multiplied by the biorep.value2 for the survival endpoint (number of organisms at end of test) and then divided by the biorep.value1 for the survival endpoint (number of organisms at start of test)

SDHYAJ59010D
The biorep.value2 for the growth endpoint (average organism wt in mg) was multiplied by the biorep.value2 for the survival endpoint (number of organisms at end of test) and then divided by the biorep.value1 for the survival endpoint (number of organisms at start of test)


Originally, statistical analyses of the bioassays (for survival and growth endpoints) were based on calculations completed by ODEQ using SEDQUAL routines.  Statistical results were a combination of Students t-tests, One sample t-tests, Approximate t-tests, and Mann-Whitney tests.  In addition, growth results were marked as significant if the corresponding survival endpoint for the sample was statistically significant.

On 10/14/08, the results for the ODEQ findings (as described above) were put in the field sig_orig2.  Then the results from statistical analyses by Windward were substituted for the sig_origin, sigeffect, and sig_ctrl fields for the survival and biomass endpoints (after confirming values were equivalent).  The statistical significance results from ODEQ for growth were not changed.

109761--Willamette April Sediment Quality Evaluation 1999
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry and pore water data are included.  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included.  All data resides in the surface chemistry table.

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were reported as latitude/longitude and assume to be geographic NAD83 

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
 
There were replicate results for PAH analytes.  All analytes which were not generated from Method SW8270C were coded as labrep="2"

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
In the summing routines, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  

*** PCBs ***
PCB sums from congener data (chemcode PCB_SUM_P) were calculated using a database routine as follows:

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  Because only 15 congeners were reported, the concentration was multiplied by 2.  No standard sum was reported (PCB_SUM) due to the lack of congeners reported.

*** DDTs*** 
The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').


*** PAHs***
Total LPAH and HPAH were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifiers were those original provided by Striplin Environmental Associates.

****BIOASSAY****
Statistical analysis were completed by a NOAA analyst using bioassay replicate data.  Data were tested using one-tailed t-tests with alpha=0.05 in comparison to the negative control.  The following t-tests were conducted: equal variance t-test; unequal variance t-test; non-parametric t-test.

Statistical tests were completed for Chironomus tentans survival and growth, and Hyalella azteca survival.

Any survival data in the replicate results which had survival>100% were set to a maximum value of 100.  The mean survival and control adjusted results were recalculated with the revised replicate values where applicable.  Original significance designations were placed in the sig_origin field with the following codes:  NS - not significant; NS* - not significant and high variability (Low Power); S - significant; NA - unable to complete test.  

For those results where the statistical test determined the result to be significant, but the mean sample survival was >=90%, the sigeffect flag (used in Query Manager queries) was set to false (High Power) because the result may not be biologically meaningful.

Where the growth endpoint for Chironomus tentans was not significant, but the survival endpoint for Chironomus was significant, the sigeffect field for the growth endpoint was set to true.

Statistical analysis were completed by a NOAA analyst using bioassay replicate data.  Data were tested using one-tailed t-tests with alpha=0.05 in comparison to the negative control.  The following t-tests were conducted: equal variance t-test; unequal variance t-test; non-parametric t-test.

Statistical tests were completed for Chironomus tentans survival and growth, and Hyalella azteca survival.

Any survival data in the replicate results which had survival>100% were set to a maximum value of 100.  The mean survival and control adjusted results were recalculated with the revised replicate values where applicable.  Original significance designations were placed in the sig_origin field with the following codes:  NS - not significant; NS* - not significant and high variability (Low Power); S - significant; NA - unable to complete test.  

For those results where the statistical test determined the result to be significant, but the mean sample survival was >=90%, the sigeffect flag (used in Query Manager queries) was set to false (High Power) because the result may not be biologically meaningful.

Where the growth endpoint for Chironomus tentans was not significant, but the survival endpoint for Chironomus was significant, the sigeffect field for the growth endpoint was set to true.

****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included in the subsurface chemistry table.  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

1097Ah--Portland Harbor Round 3 Toxicity Study 2007
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA TYPES****
This dataset contains the validated data for the round 3b sediment grab samples used for toxicity tests and the associated bioassay results.

Chemistry data were provided in an MS Access database.  Bioassay data were provided in 4 Excel files.

BERA rule sums are included in this study, including total of 34 PAHs in units of toxic units (non-standard QM unit).  These records were coded with a qualifier of "NSR" (non-standard reporting unit).

****BIOASSAY****
Survival and growth tests were run with Hyalella azteca (28-days) and Chironomus dilutus (10-day).
The following are the endpoints reported:
SDHYAJ02028D = Hyalella percent survival
SDHYAJ04028D = Hyalella growth for the average individual biomass in mg  (source file field = WT) with initial weight subtracted from the final weight (based on number of organisms at end of the test)
SDHYAJ59028D = Hyalella biomass based on total weight in mg (source file field = TWT) divided by the number of organisms at the start of the test

SDCHTL02028D = Chironomus percent survival
SDCHTL04028D = Chironomus growth for the average individual ash-free biomass in mg  (source file field = AFDW) (based on number of organisms at the end of the test)
SDCHTL59028D = Chironomus biomass based on total ash-free weight in mg (source file field = TAFDW) divided by the number of organisms at the start of the test


Reference stations for the bioassays had the following StationIDs:  G785, G786, G787, G788.

Several results had fewer than 8 replicate results for the bioassay results.  These are as follows:
Hyalella - 
For StationID=G776 (File 49), Labrep=6, there were no surviving organisms.  The lab used n=7 for average effect values for growth calculations.
This database used n=8 for averaged effect values for growth and biomass since no survival [i.e., growth = 0] is a result that should be included in the average.

Chironomus - 
For StationID = G689 (File 48), Labrep = 1 and #3, there were no surviving organisms.  The lab used n=6 for average effect values for growth calculations.
This database used n=8 for averaged effect values for growth and biomass since no survival [i.e., growth = 0] is a result that should be included in the average.

For StationID = G625 (File 48), Labrep = 7, the initial number of organisms was 5.  This replicate was not used for the calculations.  Therefore, the lab (and this database) used n=7 for average effect values for survival, biomass and growth calculations.  With respect to calculating statistical significance, Windward used 7 replicates for the survival endpoint, but used 8 replicates with zero as the effect value for biomass for Labrep = 7. 

For StationID = G643 (File 48), Labrep = 1, the initial number of organisms was 15.  This replicate was not used for the calculations.  Therefore, the lab (and this database) used n=7 for average effect values for survival, biomass and growth calculations.  With respect to calculating statistical significance, Windward used 7 replicates for the survival endpoint, but used 8 replicates with zero as the effect value for biomass for Labrep = 1. 

Statistical significance results were provided by Windward for the mortality/survival and biomass endpoints.  Since no statistical significance was available for the growth endpoint, any result with a control-adjusted value of less than 80 was marked as statistically significant.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
*** PCB Sums ***

PCB sums from Aroclor data (chemcode PCB_SUM_A) were calculated using a database routine as follows:  In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

PCB sums from congener data (chemcode PCB_SUM_P) were calculated using a database routine as follows:  In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

Aroclors were the most prevalent sediment PCB data in this study and were used for the PCB_SUM results.


*** DDT Sums *** 
DDT sums were calculated using a database routine as follows:

The DDT pairs were summed (e.g., o,p'-DDD + p,p'-DDD) with non-detected compounds treated as zeros.  If both results were not detected or the detection limit of the undetected result was greater than the detected result, then the highest non-detect value was reported with a "U" qualifier.

The sum of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using at least four isomers. In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

PYRENE                   Pyrene   

Total PAH is the sum of the LPAH and the HPAH values.

*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifiers were those original provided by Striplin Environmental Associates.

****BIOASSAY****
Statistical analysis were completed by a NOAA analyst using bioassay replicate data.  Data were tested using one-tailed t-tests with alpha=0.05 in comparison to the negative control.  The following t-tests were conducted: equal variance t-test; unequal variance t-test; non-parametric t-test.

Statistical tests were completed for Chironomus tentans survival and growth, and Hyalella azteca survival.

Any survival data in the replicate results which had survival>100% were set to a maximum value of 100.  The mean survival and control adjusted results were recalculated with the revised replicate values where applicable.   Original significance designations were placed in the sig_origin field with the following codes:  NS - not significant; NS* - not significant and high variability (Low Power); S - significant; NA - unable to complete test.  

For those results where the statistical test determined the result to be significant, but the mean sample survival was >=90%, the sigeffect flag (used in Query Manager queries) was set to false (High Power) because the result may not be biologically meaningful.

Where the growth endpoint for Chironomus tentans was not significant, but the survival endpoint for Chironomus was significant, the sigeffect field for the growth endpoint was set to true.

109720--Portland Shipyard Sed. Inv. 1998
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

BERA rule sums are included in this study, including total of 34 PAHs in units of toxic units (non-standard QM unit).  These records were coded with a qualifier of "NSR" (non-standard reporting unit).

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry, pore water, and toxicity data are included.  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry and pore water data are included.  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included.  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

****BIOASSAY****
Statistical analysis were completed by a NOAA analyst using bioassay replicate data.  Data were tested using one-tailed t-tests with alpha=0.05 in comparison to the negative control.  The following t-tests were conducted: equal variance t-test; unequal variance t-test; non-parametric t-test.

Statistical tests were completed for Hyalella azteca survival.

Any survival data in the replicate results which had survival>100% were set to a maximum value of 100.  The mean survival and control adjusted results were recalculated with the revised replicate values where applicable.   Original significance designations were placed in the sig_origin field with the following codes:  NS - not significant; NS* - not significant and high variability (Low Power); S - significant; NA - unable to complete test.  

For those results where the statistical test determined the result to be significant, but the mean sample survival was >=90%, the sigeffect flag (used in Query Manager queries) was set to false (High Power) because the result may not be biologically meaningful.

Field Replicates have a sampleID in the 500 sequence (e.g. C539B is the field duplicate for C039B).  In the original data set, the station ID used the same 500 sequence.  However, during conversion steps, the correct StationID was assigned based on information provided by GeoEngineers Inc.

Lab Rep field codes:
D is Lab Duplicate, 
T is Lab Triplicate, 
1 is 1st re-analysis, 
2 is 2nd re-analysis.

****CHEMISTRY****
Detection and Reporting limits were not provided with the source data.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the source data included sums, these values were maintained and coded with a CHEMCODE/Chemical name that indicated these are "reported" results (see specifics below).  Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were recalculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

=== Grain Size ===
Results for %silt and %clay were summed to generate records for the chemcode = PCT_FINES.  A sum is only calculated if there are two or more results for %silt and/or %clay.

=== PAH Sums === 
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) sums reported in the source data have been assigned chemcodes of LPAHR, HPAHR, and PAH_SUMR.

Total low molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = LPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:
  acenaphthene
  anthracene
  biphenyl
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene
  fluorene
  1-methylnaphthene
  2-methylnapthene
  1-methylphenanthrene
  phenanthrene
  naphthalene
  
CHEMCODES = ACENAPTHEN, ANTHRACENE, BIPHENYL, METNAP26_2, FLUORENE, METHNAP_1, METHNAP_2, METPHENAN1, PHENANTHRN, NAPTHALENE

Total high molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = HPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:  
  benz(a)anthracene
  benzo(a)pyrene
  benzo(e)pyrene
  chrysene
  dibenz(a,h)anthracene
  fluoranthene
  perylene
  pyrene
  
CHEMCODES = BAA, BAP, BEP, CHRYSENE, BANTH2, FLUORANTHN, PERYLENE, PYRENE

Total PAHs (chemcode = TOTAL_PAH) were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH chemicals as listed above.

=== PCB Sums === 
Aroclor sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_AR.

Total Aroclors were calculated and assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_A.  Sums are reported for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported: Aroclor 1016, Aroclor 1221, Aroclor 1232, Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1248, Aroclor 1254, Aroclor 1260, Aroclor 1262, Aroclor 1268 (CHEMCODES = AR_1016, AR_1221, AR_1232, AR_1242, AR_1248, AR_1254, AR_1260, AR_1262, AR_1268).  

The Aroclor sum was also reported with the chemcode PCB_SUM.

=== DDT Sums === 
The sum of paired o,p'/p,p' isomers of DDT and its derivatives reported in the source data  have been assigned chemcodes of DDT_SUMR, DDE_SUMR, and DDD_SUMR.  The sums of all DDT isomers have been assigned the chemcode  DDT_TOTALR.

The sums of the DDT pesticides (DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using a minimum of 4 isomers.  The following pairs were summed when results for both isomers were reported for the sample:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

=== Chlordane Sums === 
Chlordane sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode CHLDN_SUMR.

The sums of Chlordane pesticides (CHLDNE_SUM) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported: alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane, cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor (CHEMCODES = CHLORDAN_A,  CHLORDAN_G, CHLORDAN_B, CHLDNE_C_T, CHLDNE_OXY, NONACL_CIS, NONACHL_TR).

****BIOASSAY****
Sediment toxicity test results were provided for the following test species and endpoints: Chironomus dilulus percent survival and Hyalella azteca percent survival.

Statistical significance designations are as they were reported in the source data.  

The user should be alerted that FALSE entries in the SIGEFFECT field do not necessarily indicate that the toxicity test results are Not Significant, in some cases a FALSE entry in the SIGEFFECT field may mean that significance determinations are unknown.  The SIG_CTRL, SIG_REF and SIG_OTH fields include additional information about statistical significance.  Access to the fields that capture toxicity significance designations is dependent on the software and/or query tools being used.

For each SITEID/STUDY/TESTID/SERIES, the SIGEFFECT field in the Query Manager database is populated based on the following rules:  SIG_CTRL entries are used to populate SIGEFFECT, if available;  if SIG_CTRL is null, then SIG_REF entries are used;  if SIG_REF is null, then SIG_OTH entries are used.  The only situation where more than one of the SIG fields can be populated is when both SIG_CTRL and SIG_REF ARE populated, in which case SIG_CTRL is used to populate SIGEFFECT.  If the entry is S, then SIGEFFECT = TRUE;  if the entry is NS or NC or NA then SIGEFFCT = FALSE.

If the statistical significance was not determined due to low survival, significance in the QM database was modified to Significant (S) for the sublethal endpoints.

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifiers definitions are provided in the qualifier table. Some definitions were provided with the source data and some qualifier definitions were not provided; so generic descriptions have been included.

****STUDY PURPOSE****
Evaluate suspended sediment captured by sediment traps during stormwater events.

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
Field duplicate and/or laboratory replicate samples were included in this submission. 

The data validation level was assigned the classification QA2Cat1 
(Data are of known quality and are considered acceptable for use in decision-making for the Lower Willamette River project.   Validation included an abbreviated assessment that considered the standard lab package QA in its review.).

****DATA TYPES****
This study includes results for sediment collected in traps and classified as surface sediment.

****STATIONS****
Station locations provided in latitude/longitude (assumed to be NAD83).  The reliability of the coordinates was not specified.   StationIDs were edited to fit the limits of the database structure. 
There was one station without coordinates; it was a relocated sediment trap and coordinates were not collected for this location.


****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original Sample Identifer is stored in the ExSampID field.
Field duplicates were noted with a samptype of  'FDUP' and a "b"  suffix on the SampleID.
  
Upper and Lower sampling depths were not provided.  Water Depth at sampling locations were not provided.  It was not clear the depth at which the sediment traps were deployed.

Labrep codes 1, 2, 3 represent the first, second and third analyses for the analyte group.  The labrep code of "1N" is used to distinguish chemical results from the first analyses where the chemical appears from more than one analytical method (e.g. naphthalene from SW8270B and SW8270C).  The preferred result is assigned labrep = 1 and the less preferred result is assigned the labrep = 1N.

****CHEMISTRY****
All sediment chemistry results were provided on a DW basis.


****CALCULATED RESULTS****
=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were calculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

  dibenz(a,h)anthracene
  fluoranthene
  perylene
  pyrene
  
CHEMCODES = BAA, BAP, BEP, CHRYSENE, BANTH2, FLUORANTHN, PERYLENE, PYRENE

Total PAHs (chemcode = TOTAL_PAH) were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH chemicals as listed above.

=== PCB Sums === 
Total of PCB congeners were calculated and assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_P.  Since there were more than 17 congeners, but less than 30 congeners reported, only the congeners on the NOAA Status and Trends (NST) Congener shortlist of 18 congeners were summed, and the resulting value was multiplied by 2.  If the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds was greater than or equal to the sum (prior to multiplication by 2), than the highest non-detect value was reported with a UCALC qualifier.  

The congener sum was also reported with the chemcode PCB_SUM.

=== DDT Sums === 
The sums of the DDT pesticides (DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using 6 isomers.  The following pairs were summed when results for both isomers were reported for the sample:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

1097D1--Lower Willamette River Reference 2002
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data source for sediment data was in electronic format, file name "HartCrowser_RefAreas_P1-2.xls".
Data source for bioassay data was in electronic format, file name "WilRef02.SQBioassay.xls".
Bioassay control results were taken from bioassay tables in the report "Willamette_ref_02.pdf".
Update 1/21/2020 - Added 9 TVX lab replicates previously held in study Willamette Ref Area P1 2001 (1097:56) 

****DATA TYPES****
Electronic data was provided for bioassay and sediment data.   From the report, it was determined that bioaccumulation testing was also conducted.  These data were not provided electronically or incorporated into the database.

****STATIONS****
Station coodinates were originally provided in the file  "HartCrowser_RefAreas_P1-2.xls" and were converted to lat/long. Oregon State Plane North in International Feet NAD 83 were assumed for the original coordinates.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
Samples were collected from August (Phase 1) and September (Phase 2). Samples from August  were assigned a sampleid of "01" and September, "02". There were three stations that had similar stationIDs (e.g. HC2) from August and September and slightly different coordinates. Those with similar stationIDs from the September collection were assigned a "B" after the original stationid.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Reported sums included Total PCBs (from Aroclors), low molecular weight PAHs, high molecular weight, and Total PAH (PAHs for Phase 2 only).

In the summing routines, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.	

*** PAH Sums ***
Sums for low molecular weight PAHs (LPAHs)  included the following individual compounds (if measured in the study):
CHEMCODE         	       CHEMNAME
ACENAPTHEN	       Acenaphthene
ANTHRACENE	        Anthracene
BIPHENYL	                     Biphenyl

CHEMCODE	             CHEMNAME
BAA	                          Benzo(a)anthracene
BAP	                          Benzo(a)pyrene
BEP	                          Benzo(e)pyrene
CHRYSENE	             Chrysene
BANTH2	                   Dibenzo(a,h)anthracene

PERYLENE	             Perylene
PYRENE	                    Pyrene

Total PAHs were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH compounds listed above.

*** PCB Sums ***
Total PCBs were calculated using Aroclors.   Results are reported with both chemcode "PCB_SUM_A" (sum of reported Aroclors) and "PCB_SUM".

Total DDT was not calculated because only p,p' isomers were measured.

*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

****QUALIFIERS****
All definitions that were found were added to the qualify file. Definitions for qualcode "A" and "Z" were not found within the electronic data, the data tables in the report, nor the data validation reports at the end of the report. 

****BIOASSAY****
Bioassay replicate data were reported in the source spreadsheet.  These results were used in the biorep.dbf table.  Averages and standard deviations were calculated from the biorep table and found to be consistent with the results from the bioassay lab reports.   Control data was taken from the report.  Only averaged results for control data were available. 

Original Bioassay variable "Mort" appears to actually be % survival. 

The bioassay lab report (and the data reported in the database) for the Chironomus growth result is based on average weight/midge (mg).  The accompanying Hart Crowser report provides data as "mean individual biomass in mg".  The values in the Hart Crowser report do not match the values of the bioassay lab report (in the appendix) or presented in this database.

The bioassay lab report at the end of the report state that the age of  Hyalella is 10-12 days. Assigned Juvenile to life stage based on life cycle of Hyalella. Tox test reports at the end of the report state that the age of Chironomus is 3rd instar.   Assigned Larvae to life stage classification.

Statistics:  Listed all reference samples as not significant based on the report stating that "There is no evidence that exposure to any of these three sediments had any adverse effect on amphipod survival or growth. All three of these sediments are acceptable for use as reference sedimentsà."

****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates from a  5/22/2002 submission.  The original Studyid assigned was 59.

*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

109772--Willamette River Toxic Pollutant Summary 1982-1988
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included.  Much of the sediment chemistry data were reported in wet weight with no available moisture or solids information, thus were qualified with an "NSR" qualifier (non-standard reporting unit).  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.  

*** PCB Sums ***
Total PCBs were calculated using Aroclor data and reported as PCB_SUM_A (sum of Aroclors) and PCB_SUM.

*** PAH Sums ***
Low molecular weight PAHs include the following:

BAP                             Benzo(a)pyrene 
BEP                             Benzo(a)pyrene        
CHRYSENE             Chrysene

FLUORANTHN       Fluoranthene  
PERYLENE              Perylene 
PYRENE                   Pyrene   

Total PAH is the sum of the LPAH and the HPAH values.

*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

109702--Lower Columbia Heron Egg Contaminants 1994-95
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Tissue chemistry data are included.

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Total PCB in tissue is based on a reported value since insufficient PCB data was available for performing a calculation.

*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').  

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.	

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifiers were those original provided by Striplin Environmental Associates.

****BIOASSAY****
There was no toxicity data for this study.

1097An--Portland Harbor Round 3 Sed Trap, 4 Events 2007
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
The data was provided in the following source files-
2008-05-12_-_Query_Manager_R3_Sediment_Trap_Event1.zip
2007-11-16_-_Query_Manager_R3_Sediment_Trap_Event2.zip
2008-12-01_-_Query_Manager_R3_Sediment_Trap_Event3.zip
2008-12-01_-_Query_Manager_R3_Sediment_Trap_Event4.zip

****DATA TYPES****
The dataset contains the validated data for the Round 3 sediment trap events 1-4.  For the 4 events, the traps were deployed at 16 locations, left in place for approximately 11 months and material collected from the traps quarterly.  In some cases, there was insufficient sample volume to analyze sediments from one or more traps.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
All results from the same sediment trap location have the same StationIDs.  The sample IDs can be used to distinguish the time period, where usually the third character of the sample ID, indicates the event number as follows -
StationID = ST002,  SampleID = ST1002  for the sample from the first collection event
StationID = ST002,  SampleID = ST2002  for the sample from the second collection event
StationID = ST002,  SampleID = ST3002  for the sample from the third collection event
StationID = ST002,  SampleID = ST4002  for the sample from the fourth collection event

Where field duplicates were collected, the sampleID has an extra "1" or "2" on the end of the typical sampleID where "1" is for the main sample and "2" is for the replicate.  For these samples, the first character of the sampleID was removed to fit within the limits of the field size.  
Examples - 
StationID = ST005,  SampleID = T10051 is the main sample
StationID = ST005,  SampleID = T10052 is the field duplicate

In the labrep field, the codes 1, 2, 3 represent the first, second and third analyses for the analyte group.  The labrep code of "1N" is used to distinguish chemical results from the first analyses where the chemical appears from more than one analytical method (e.g. naphthalene from SW8270B and WS8270C).  The preferred result is assigned labrep = 1 and the less preferred result is assigned the labrep = 2.

****OTHER****
The following notes were provided by staff who assembled the data in the NOAA template - 

In event 1 [2008-03-12],  All results for field sample LW3-ST1014 (station ST1014, sample ST1014) were corrected to field sample LW3-ST1015 (station ST1015, sample ST1014) because there was no sample collected as LW3-ST1014.  Oxidation-reduction potential and pH for sample ST1012 were removed because they were not requested from the lab.

In event 3, changed the result of 4,4'-DDT in ST3007 to 120 U.

In event 4, changed the result of 4,4'-DDT in ST4007 to 670 U.

  anthracene  ('ANTHRACENE')
  biphenyl  ('BIPHENYL')
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene  ('METNAP26_2')
  fluorene  ('FLUORENE')
  1-methylnaphthene  ('METHNAP_1')
  2-methylnapthene  ('METHNAP_2')

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

Total PAHs are calculated as the sum of analytes listed in the LPAH and HPAH groups above.



*** PCB Sums ***

PCB sums from Aroclor data (chemcode PCB_SUM_A) were calculated using a database routine as follows:

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

If the PCB congeners are limited to the NOAA Status and Trends list of congeners, the sum of the detected results is multiplied by 2.

Congeners were the most prevalent sediment PCB data in this study and were used for the PCB_SUM results if present.



*** DDT Sums *** 

DDT sums were calculated using a database routine as follows:

The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

****DATA SOURCE****
Source: Site Data Provider
Filename: LWG_FS_SED_GASCO_AIR_DATA_GAPS_2010_2011_FOR_DIVER.xlsx

****STUDY PURPOSE****
The purpose of this study is: site assessment

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
The data qualified but the validator and the validation level are not known.

Field duplicate and laboratory replicate samples were included in this submission.

****DATA TYPES****
This study includes results for surficial and sub-surface sediment.

****STATIONS****
Station identifiers were included as they were presented in the source data without modification.

The original coordinates were provided projected in Oregon State Plane North HARN (INTNAT FT). Coordinates were-projected to NAD83 latitude and longitude using QGIS. The original XY coordinates were plotted using State Plane Feet and converted to a shapefile. Geometry Toolbox was used to re-define the projection to Geographic Coordinate System to NAD83.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The Sample identifiers reported in the source data are stored in the ExSampID field.  The Sample identifiers in the source data were truncated for inclusion in the database. 

Field duplicates were given the same SampleID as the paired sample, followed by a 'D' suffix and a sample type code of FDUP. 

Sampling dates and sample depth information were provided for all samples.  

As there were no other criteria available, lab reps were assigned according to detection limit values with the higher values for non-detect assigned lab rep 2.

****CHEMISTRY****
No dry weight-to-wet weight or wet weight-to-dry weight conversions were required.

Removed grain size results that were reported in % passing from original source data so that only % retained results remain.

From original grain size results reported in terms of seive/microns converted to the equivalent grain size classifications corresponding to the Wentworth scale (e.g., % gravel, % sand, % silt, etc.).

Rejected results are included in the database and not modified;  the associated QUALCODE includes R.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the source data included sums, these values were maintained and coded with a CHEMCODE/Chemical name that indicated these are "reported" results (see specifics below).  Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were recalculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

=== Grain Size ===
Results for %silt and %clay were summed to generate records for the chemcode = PCT_FINES.  A sum is only calculated if there are two or more results for %silt and/or %clay.

=== PAH Sums === 
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) sums reported in the source data have been assigned chemcodes of LPAHR, HPAHR, and PAH_SUMR.

  anthracene
  biphenyl
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene
  fluorene
  1-methylnaphthene
  2-methylnapthene
  1-methylphenanthrene
  phenanthrene
  naphthalene
  
CHEMCODES = ACENAPTHEN, ANTHRACENE, BIPHENYL, METNAP26_2, FLUORENE, METHNAP_1, METHNAP_2, METPHENAN1, PHENANTHRN, NAPTHALENE

Total high molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = HPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:  
  benz(a)anthracene
  benzo(a)pyrene
  benzo(e)pyrene
  chrysene
  dibenz(a,h)anthracene
  fluoranthene
  perylene
  pyrene
  
CHEMCODES = BAA, BAP, BEP, CHRYSENE, BANTH2, FLUORANTHN, PERYLENE, PYRENE

Total PAHs (chemcode = TOTAL_PAH) were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH chemicals as listed above.

=== PCB Sums === 
Aroclor sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_AR.

Total Aroclors were calculated and assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_A.  Sums are reported for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported: Aroclor 1016, Aroclor 1221, Aroclor 1232, Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1248, Aroclor 1254, Aroclor 1260, Aroclor 1262, Aroclor 1268 (CHEMCODES = AR_1016, AR_1221, AR_1232, AR_1242, AR_1248, AR_1254, AR_1260, AR_1262, AR_1268).  

The Aroclor sum was also reported with the chemcode PCB_SUM.

=== DDT Sums === 
The sum of paired o,p'/p,p' isomers of DDT and its derivatives reported in the source data  have been assigned chemcodes of DDT_SUMR, DDE_SUMR, and DDD_SUMR.  The sums of all DDT isomers have been assigned the chemcode  DDT_TOTALR.

The sums of the DDT pesticides (DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using a minimum of 4 isomers.  The following pairs were summed when results for both isomers were reported for the sample:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

=== Chlordane Sums === 
Chlordane sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode CHLDN_SUMR.

The sums of Chlordane pesticides (CHLDNE_SUM) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported: alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane, cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor (CHEMCODES = CHLORDAN_A,  CHLORDAN_G, CHLORDAN_B, CHLDNE_C_T, CHLDNE_OXY, NONACL_CIS, NONACHL_TR).

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifiers definitions are provided in the qualifier table.  Definitions were provided with the source data.

--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included.  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****

****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry were provided.  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
No sums were calculated for the sediment chemistry data.

****BIOASSAY****
Statistical analysis were completed by a NOAA analyst using bioassay replicate data.  Data were tested using one-tailed t-tests with alpha=0.05 in comparison to the negative control.  The following t-tests were conducted: equal variance t-test; unequal variance t-test; non-parametric t-test.

Statistical tests were completed for Chironomus tentans survival and growth, and Hyalella azteca survival.

Any survival data in the replicate results which had survival>100% were set to a maximum value of 100.  The mean survival and control adjusted results were recalculated with the revised replicate values where applicable.   Original significance designations were placed in the sig_origin field with the following codes:  NS - not significant; NS* - not significant and high variability (Low Power); S - significant; NA - unable to complete test. 

For those results where the statistical test determined the result to be significant, but the mean sample survival was >=90%, the sigeffect flag (used in Query Manager queries) was set to false (High Power) because the result may not be biologically meaningful.

Where the growth endpoint for Chironomus tentans was not significant, but the survival endpoint for Chironomus was significant, the sigeffect field for the growth endpoint was set to true.

1097U4--Portland Harbor Smallmouth Bass Tissue 2012
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Source:
Lower Willamette Group

****STUDY PURPOSE****
The purpose of this study is to collect additional whole-body smallmouth bass fish tissue data for the Site with the primary objective of establishing an additional line of evidence to support the current monitored natural recovery (MNR) evaluation in the draft FS (Anchor QEA et al. 2012).

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
The data was validated and qualified by EcoChem. The data validation indicated on the source data was EPA Level 4.

QA2Cat1 - (WR) Data are of known quality and are considered acceptable for use in decision-making for the Lower Willamette River project.  Validation is comparable to EPA's Level 3+ or 4 (standard lab package review plus checks on raw data).

Laboratory replicate samples were included in this submission.

Results that were changed due to validation contain a numerical code in the DV Qualifier Reason field (e.g. 7, 9, 13, 14, and 22). There were no definitions provided for these numeric codes.

****DATA TYPES****
This study includes results for tissue samples.

****STATIONS****
Original station coordinates were provided as NAD83 latitude and longitude.  Coordinates were provided in degree minute format and re-formatted to decimal degree format.  The reliability of the coordinates was not specified.

Coordinates reported in the source data for Station 'LW4-08E_05' were found to be incorrect, these were temporarily changed to '0/0' until the correct coordinates can be found.

The Station identifiers in the source data were truncated for inclusion in Query Manager (Original StationID = 'LW4_SB_10E_02', this was truncated to 'LW4-10E_02').

The Station identifiers reported in the source data are stored in the Original StationID field.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The Sample identifiers in the source data were truncated for inclusion in the database ('LW4-SB-02E-01' was truncated to 'SB01').  

Sampling dates were provided for all samples.

****CHEMISTRY****
The Result value for non-detects reflects the Reporting Limit and this is noted. 

No dry weight-to-wet weight or wet weight-to-dry weight conversions were required.

Chemcodes for PCB congeners reflect the BZ numbering system.

In the source file, chemical concentrations for co-eluting PCB congeners were already merged into one record. Calculated Total PCB Congeners were also reported in the source file and keep.

There are 603 results that were not reported by the lab as non-detects, but then changed to non-detects (i.e. 'U' qualified) due to validation. The concentration that was originally report by the lab remains the result value.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
The source data included results for the following calculated totals 'Total PCB TEQ', which were excluded from the main database.

=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the source data included sums, these values were maintained and coded with a CHEMCODE/Chemical name that indicated these are "reported" results (see specifics below).  Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were recalculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

=== PCB Sums === 
PCB Congener sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_PR.

Total of PCB congeners were calculated and assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_P.  The total is the sum of congeners, with 30 or more congeners reported for each sample.

The congener sum was also reported with the chemcode PCB_SUM.

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifiers definitions are provided in the qualifier table.  Some definitions were provided with the source data. 

For non-detected results, the sample-adjusted reporting limit (RL) is reported in the Result field.  A U qualifier is assigned to these records.

1097U6--Portland Harbor Round 3A Radioisotopes 2007
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Source: Lower Willamette Group

****STUDY PURPOSE****
The objectives of this sampling effort were to analyze radioisotopes in long-term depositional areas expected to act as natural sediment traps allowing inferences to be made about deposition rates

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
The data is validated and qualified but the validator is not known. The data validation indicated on the source data was 'QA2Cat1'.

Field duplicate and/or laboratory replicate samples were not included in this submission.

****DATA TYPES****
This study includes results for surficial sediment and subsurficial sediment samples.

****STATIONS****
The original coordinates were provided in NAD 1983 StatePlane Oregon North FIPS 3601. The reliability of the coordinates was not specified. Coordinates were converted to NAD83 latitude and longitude using ArcMap. The original XY coordinates were plotted using NAD 1983 StatePlane Oregon North FIPS 3601 and converted to a shapefile in ArcMap. Arc Toolbox was used to re-define the projection to Geographic Coordinate System to NAD83. 

Station identifiers were included as they were presented in the source data without modification.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The Sample identifiers reported in the source data are stored in the FieldID field.  The Sample identifiers in the source data were truncated for inclusion in the database ('LW3-RC01-005' was shortened to 'S005').  

Sampling dates and sample depth information were provided for all samples.

****CHEMISTRY****
Based on the study report, it was assumed that all sediment chemistry results were provided on a DW basis.

Detection limits and reporting limits were not available for the entire data set.  For non-detects, the source file's result field was already populated with a concentration. It is not specified which limit it is, but this value was retained as the Result.

No dry weight-to-wet weight or wet weight-to-dry weight conversions were required.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
There are no analytes suitable for summing in this study.

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifier definitions were not provided; so generic descriptions have been included.

Detection limits and reporting limits were not available for the entire data set.  For non-detects, the source file's result field was already populated with a concentration. It is not specified which limit it is, but this value was retained as the Result.  A U qualifier is assigned to these records.

****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included.  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

109738--Oregon Steel Mills Pre-Remedial Invest 2000
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

On 08/17/09, updated results for StationID=38011 and SampleID=3801 surface sediment chemistry for Aroclor 1248 and Aroclor 1260 and the associated PCB Sums.  These changes were coordinated with Integral's (formerly Striplin's) versions of the database.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included.   

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Total PCBs and Total PAHs were calculated.  Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.  

Total PCBs were calculated using Aroclor data and reported as PCB_SUM_A (sum of Aroclors) and PCB_SUM.

Qualifiers were those original provided by Striplin Environmental Associates.

****BIOASSAY****
Statistical analysis were completed by a NOAA analyst using bioassay replicate data.  Data were tested using one-tailed t-tests with alpha=0.05 in comparison to the negative control.  The following t-tests were conducted: equal variance t-test; unequal variance t-test; non-parametric t-test.

Statistical tests were completed for Chironomus tentans survival and growth, and Hyalella azteca survival.

Any survival data in the replicate results which had survival>100% were set to a maximum value of 100.  The mean survival and control adjusted results were recalculated with the revised replicate values where applicable.  Original significance designations were placed in the sig_origin field with the following codes:  NS - not significant; NS* - not significant and high variability (Low Power); S - significant; NA - unable to complete test.  

For those results where the statistical test determined the result to be significant, but the mean sample survival was >=90%, the sigeffect flag (used in Query Manager queries) was set to false (High Power) because the result may not be biologically meaningful.

Where the growth endpoint for Chironomus tentans was not significant, but the survival endpoint for Chironomus was significant, the sigeffect field for the growth endpoint was set to true.

Sums for LPAHs included the following the individual compounds (if measured in the study):
  acenaphthene  ('ACENAPTHEN')
  anthracene  ('ANTHRACENE')
  biphenyl  ('BIPHENYL')
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene  ('METNAP26_2')
  fluorene  ('FLUORENE')
  1-methylnaphthene  ('METHNAP_1')
  2-methylnapthene  ('METHNAP_2')
  1-methylphenanthrene  ('METPHENAN1')
  phenanthrene  ('PHENANTHRN')
  naphthalene  ('NAPTHALENE')
  
Sums for HPAHs included the following individual compounds (if measured in the study):

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

Total PAHs are calculated as the sum of analytes listed in the LPAH and HPAH groups above.


*** PCB Sums ***
PCB sums from Aroclor data (chemcode PCB_SUM_A) were calculated using a database routine as follows:

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

The sum of Aroclors  were used for the PCB_SUM results.

1097Ao--Portland Harbor Round 3 Injury Osprey Eggs 2008
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data were supplied in Excel files and in laboratory EDDs (text) from Axys laboratory (PCBs and PCDD/DFs).  Field data were provided in an Excel file from Jeremy Buck (USFWS).

****DATA TYPES****
Data includes tissue data from osprey egg sampling.  Two studies are linked: StudyID Ao and Ap.  For StudyID Ao, ten eggs (Axys results) were collected and analyzed for PCBs and PCDDs/DFs under Round 3.  In StudyID Ap, all eggs were analyzed for PCBs, OCPs, and mercury (GLIER lab) and PBDEs (Carleton lab) for the Portland Harbor Injury Assessment.  

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
All of the data were corrected to fresh weight, which is a correction for moisture loss to normalize the embryo stage to "fresh" or early incubation, when moisture is greatest.  This is done by obtaining a correction factor of mass of whole egg/volume of whole egg (i.e., a mass to volume of 1 would mean no moisture loss occurted in the egg and it would have been freshly laid), and multiplying the wet weight by the correction factor (correction factor typical runs about 0.82 to 0.96 or so for an egg).   The data were reported to three significant digits, then rounded to three decimal places (J. Buck).  PCB data were then converted from pg/g to ug/kg; if the final rounded data resulted in a detected value of 0 (<0.001), then the value was reported to the minimum number of significant digits necessary to report the value.  

The measurement basis for data reported in fresh weight has a code of "FW."

Axys data were reviewed with full validation (also see comments under Qualifiers), and thus were given the QA Category QA2Cat1.

Co-eluting congeners were re-coded with all of the co-eluting congeners (also see notes under PCB Sums).

****STATIONS****
Coordinates were provided in latitude/longitude.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The whole Egg Mass is stored (g) in the weight column.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
*** PCB Sums ***
Co-eluting congeners were re-coded with all of the co-eluting congeners as part of the chemcode, and included in total congener calculations.

PCB Congeners were used for the PCB_SUM results.

PCB sums from congener data (chemcode PCB_SUM_P) were calculated using a database routine as follows:  In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The number of congeners used in the sum is included in the qualifier code.  Reported total congeners are included as chemcode PCB_SUM_PR.

PCB sums from homolog data (chemcode PCB_SUM_H) were calculated using a database routine as follows:  In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The number of homlogs used in the sum is included in the qualifier code.  Reported total homologs are included as chemcode PCB_SUM_HR.

*** DDT Sums *** 
The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The number of compounds used in the sum is included in the qualifier code.

*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.	  The number of compounds used in the sum is included in the qualifier code.

****QUALIFIERS****
All of the Axys data were validated.  The final Interpretive Qual field was used as the qualifier for the data, unless the validator did not qualify the data (acceptable as is), in which case the lab qualifier was reported.  

Decision tree:
When both the Labqual and Interpreted qual indicated a non-detect (U), the RDL was reported in the concentration field (with a U qualifier).
When the Labqual reported a value as detected, but the validator qualified the data as a non-detect, the fresh-weight value was reported in the concentration field (with a "U" qualifier).

****OTHER****
AXYS reported TEQ values for PCBs and Dioxins/furans, and reported TEQs using both the 1998 TEF values and 2005 TEF values.  J. Buck recalculated the TEQ values and provided a total TEQ for Dioxin and PCBs using "0" for detection limit values and "j" values as actual concentrations.  I calculated this total TEQs BASED ON AVIAN-TEF VALUES REPORTED BY WHO 1998.  This value is coded as "TEQ_R" in the database (reported TEQ).

TEQ values also were converted from pg/g to ug/kg.

Station coordinates were provided. 

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
Station/SampleIds were included as reported.  Note that field duplicates are stored as separate stations (e.g., BT0061/BT0062).  Field duplicates are noted with a sample type code of FDUP.  Bioaccumulation tissue type samples are coded with Samptype of BSMP for bioaccumulation sample. 

Two types of laboratory samples are included in the data:

Samples coded with SampleID of CCTRL or WCTRL - These were originally coded with a sample type code of BCTRL, most likely biological control.

Samples coded with SampleID of LCTZ or LWTZ were coded with an original sample type code of BDAY0, which would be the analyses of tissues on Day 0, before exposure to sed.

All bioaccumulation laboratory samples have been coded with a samptype of CNEG.

 
Labrep codes were assigned in data received.   1O was assigned to sums calculated by the lab (as opposed to BERA sums).

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
In the summing routines, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

*** PAH Sums ***
Sums for low molecular weight PAHs (LPAHs) were generated using a FoxPro routine.  The individual compounds included in the sum (if measured in the study) are:

Total PAHs were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH totals.

*** PCB Sums ***
The sum of the PCBs was calculated using PCB congeners.  In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  

The congener sum was kept as the main pcb sum, chemcode="PCB_SUM".

The sum of the PCBs also was calculated using PCB Aroclors.  In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier. Chemcode=PCB_SUM_A.

PCB_SUMR values are the reported sums that were originally provided by the investigator.

If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  

The calculated sum of the PCB congeners are also reported with Chemcode = PCB_SUM. 

*** DDT Sums *** 
The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

1097U3--Portland Harbor PAH Forensics 2014-2015
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Newfields

****STUDY PURPOSE****
Evaluate the nature (e.g. pyrogenic vs. petrogenic), source and concentrations of PAH in surface and sub-surface sediments in the proposed Remedial Alternatives Area.

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
Field duplicate and/or laboratory replicate samples were included in this submission. 

The data is qualified but unvalidated.

****DATA TYPES****
This study includes results for Sediment and Tarball samples.

****STATIONS****
Original station coordinates were provided as NAD83 latitude and longitude.  Coordinates were included as reported in the source data.  The reliability of the coordinates was not specified.

Station identifiers were included as they were presented in the reference report for 2015. In the case of 2014 values a "PH14-" was added to the labels in the report to match the style of the EXSAMPID.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
Field duplicates were given the same SampleID as the paired sample, followed by a 'FD' suffix and a sample type code of FDUP. 

Sampling dates and sample depth information were provided for all samples.

Chemistry results with an EXSAMPID containing the suffix "DUP" and a source Qc_Type of "DUP" were assigned a Lab Rep of 2.  For Total Organic Carbon, in the 2015 data, two analysis runs were made per lab rep. These are denoted as Lab Rep 1 and 1a for the main sample and as Lab Rep 2 and 2a for the "DUP sample. In the 2015 data the source reported TOC as an average of the two TOC runs. The calculated average TOC results were excluded.

The 2015 cores were sampled based on possible dredging depths that are a fix depth below the Columbia River Datum (CRD). Each station has up to four samples with the following sample intervals: 
Sample Suffix	    Sampling Interval 
A		                       0 to -1 ft
B                       		-48 to -49 ft CRD
C		                       -51 to -52 ft CRD
D		                       -53 to -54 ft CRD
The actual sediment upper and lower depths below the sediment water interface were calculated based on the provided Core length to -54 ft CRD level. Because of the riverbed slope and bathymetry the sampling depths will be different for every equivalent sample at each station. Due to variation in core length not all stations have the full complement of sampling depths. Sampling depths were converted from feet to centimeters following database conventions.

****CHEMISTRY****
All sediment and soil chemistry results were provided on a DW basis.

MDL was not available in the source data, as such RL was used to relace null non-detect Results.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the source data included sums, these values were maintained and coded with a CHEMCODE/Chemical name that indicated these are "reported" results (see specifics below).  Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were recalculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

The source data included results for the following calculated totals: Total Dioxins/Furans (i.e. TCDD, TCDF, etc.), Petroleum Hydrocarbons, and Saturated Hydrocarbons. It is not clear in the source data how calculations were done.

=== PAH Sums ===

109742--Ross Island Phase 1 (Landau) 1999
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included.   Toxicity data are included.

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.  

*** PCB Sums ***
Total PCBs were calculated using Aroclor data and reported as PCB_SUM_A (sum of Aroclors) and PCB_SUM.

*** PAH Sums ***
Low molecular weight PAHs include the following:
Chemcode                Chemname

 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifiers were those original provided by Striplin Environmental Associates.

****BIOASSAY****
Statistical analysis were completed by a NOAA analyst using bioassay replicate data.  Data were tested using one-tailed t-tests with alpha=0.05 in comparison to the negative control.  The following t-tests were conducted: equal variance t-test; unequal variance t-test; non-parametric t-test.

Statistical tests were completed for Chironomus tentans survival and growth, and Hyalella azteca survival.

Any survival data in the replicate results which had survival>100% were set to a maximum value of 100.  The mean survival and control adjusted results were recalculated with the revised replicate values where applicable.  Original significance designations were placed in the sig_origin field with the following codes:  NS - not significant; NS* - not significant and high variability (Low Power); S - significant; NA - unable to complete test.  

For those results where the statistical test determined the result to be significant, but the mean sample survival was >=90%, the sigeffect flag (used in Query Manager queries) was set to false (High Power) because the result may not be biologically meaningful.

Where the growth endpoint for Chironomus tentans was not significant, but the survival endpoint for Chironomus was significant, the sigeffect field for the growth endpoint was set to true.

1097Ae--Portland Harbor Round 3 Sturgeon 2007
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data was compiled from several sources.  The initial data set of whole body sturgeon tissue chemistry and stomach contents was downloaded from Portland Portal as file name "2008-01-07_-_QUERY_MANAGER_R3_STURGEON.ZIP" containing the data in the Query Manager MS Access template format.   

Later, data from the trustee samples of blood and liver tissue chemstry were appended.  The source files were "Validated OC_PCB Data_RL.xls" and "Validated_PBDE Data_RL.xls".   These files were reformatted by Ridolfi Associates to a suitable format for incorporation into the database.  In addition, another file named "Validated_Inorganic Data.xls"  was provided for some additional inorganic analyte data.

In mid November 2008, data from the Sturgeon plasma results were received in the file "SturgeonPlasmaSampleResults110508.xls".

****DATA TYPES****
The dataset contains the validated data for the Round 3 sturgeon tissue samples.

****STATIONS****
Latitude/longitude values are those reported in the original source file.  No documentation for how latitude/longitude were determined.  Results for the trustee samples of liver and blood did not include station coordinates, but the stations were matched up to those for the original whole body sturgeon samples. 

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
Data set includes both whole fish and stomach content samples.   
The whole body samples have sampleIDs beginning with "STWB"

The stomach content samples have sampleIDs beginning with "SG".  
The stomach content samples are composites of all the fish submitted for tissue analyses.  
SampleID = SG1005 is a composite of the stomach contents of the 3 fish from StationID = STWB01 and the 3 fish from STWB05.  
SampleID = SG31 is a composite from the 3 fish from StationID = STWB03.  
SampleID = SG41 is a composite from the 3 fish from StationID = STWB04.   

The trustee liver samples have sampleIDs with "ST" followed by a number and "L".
The trustee blood samples have sampleIDs with "ST" followed by a number and "BL".
The trustee plasma samples have sampleIDs with "ST" followed by a number and "PL"

The type of sturgeon was not specified.

 Replicates coded as labrep= "1N" were duplicates of a given analyte that was generated from two different analytical methods (hexachlorobenzene and hexachlorobutadiene from Axys Method MLA-028 or SW8270-SIM).  The preferred result (Axys Method) was coded as labrep = "1".  The less preferred result (SW8270-SIM) was coded as "1N".

Replicates coded as labrep="2" are laboratory duplicates.

Multiple analyses were completed for the trustee samples for liver and blood for total solids.  Those from the laboratory completing the analyses of inorganics have been coded with Labrep=2 (and 3).

From the plasma data set, there were two results for each sample for the following chemicals:  Heptachlor, Aldrin, Endosulfan II, and Endosulfan sulfate.  Per instructions from the laboratory, the detected results should be summed.  For those where one result was detected and one result was not detected, the detected result was to be reported.  The following is an extract of the information provided by the laboratory:
 "When we did the extractions from the blood plasma we separated the extracts into 2 fractions to separate some of the pesticides and PCBs that co-eluted.  Each of the 2 extracts from each sample were injected into the GC.  Some compounds (i.e. Aldrin, heptachlor, Endosulfan II and endosulfan sulfate) elute into both extracts.  Therefore the values for these compounds should be added for the total amount in each plasma sample. " (Deke Gundersen, Pacific University)

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifier definitions are recorded in the qualify.dbf table.  The laboratory conducting inorganic analyses for the trustee liver and blood samples used a "B" qualifer for estimated results (results less than a reporting limit and more than the method detection limit).  These were revised to "BJ" so that they were not confused with the "B" qualifier used for the organic analyses (indicating the chemical was also detected in the associated method blank).

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
*** PAH Sums *** 
PAH sums were calculated using a database routine as follows:

Sums for LPAHs included the following the individual compounds (if measured in the study):

  dibenz(a,h)anthracene   ('BANTH2')
  fluoranthene ('FLUORANTHN') 
  perylene   ('PERYLENE') 
  pyrene  ('PYRENE')

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

Total PAHs are calculated as the sum of analytes listed in the LPAH and HPAH groups above.


*** PCB Sums ***
PCB sums from congener data (chemcode PCB_SUM_P) were calculated using a database routine as follows:

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

PCB sums were also calculated from homolog data for the trustee liver and blood samples (PCB_SUM_H).

PCB sums for the plasma results were based on only 16 congeners that were reported.  Therefore, the sums for the detected results were multiplied by 2.  These results have a qualcode of "CALC_016".

Congeners sums were copied and used for the PCB_SUM results except for the samples with only 16 congeners reported.


*** DDT Sums *** 
DDT sums were calculated using a database routine as follows:

The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).


*** Chlordane Sums ***
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

Statistical analysis were completed by a NOAA analyst using bioassay replicate data.  Data were tested using one-tailed t-tests with alpha=0.05 in comparison to the negative control.  The following t-tests were conducted: equal variance t-test; unequal variance t-test; non-parametric t-test.

Statistical tests were completed for  Hyalella azteca survival.

Any survival data in the replicate results which had survival>100% were set to a maximum value of 100.  The mean survival and control adjusted results were recalculated with the revised replicate values where applicable.  Original significance designations were placed in the sig_origin field with the following codes:  NS - not significant; NS* - not significant and high variability (Low Power); S - significant; NA - unable to complete test.  

For those results where the statistical test determined the result to be significant, but the mean sample survival was >=90%, the sigeffect flag (used in Query Manager queries) was set to false (High Power) because the result may not be biologically meaningful.

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The qualifier codes includes the number of compounds used in the sum.

Total PAHs are calculated as the sum of analytes listed in the LPAH and HPAH groups above.

DDT sums were calculated using a database routine as follows:

The sum of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) was calculated using at least four isomers. In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The qualifier codes includes the number of compounds used in the sum.

*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:

1097V3--Portland Harbor 2020 Juv Chinook Dietary Exposure
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data were compiled from experiments conducted in Newport, Oregon. POPs and PAH data were compiled from NWFSC lab electronic data. Study Plan is "Portland Harbor Injury Assessment Juvenile Chinook Salmon Controlled Dietary Exposure and Endpoint Analysis" which describes feeding regimes.

****STUDY PURPOSE****
Dietary exposure experiment to generate targeted health and survival information for juvenile Chinook salmon that outmigrate through Portland Harbor.

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
The composite tissue chemistry data is validated and qualified by NEH, Inc.

The data validation indicated on the source data was EPA Level 2.

****DATA TYPES****
This study contains length and weight measurements and otoliths of lab-raised juvenile Chinnok salmon.

Final length measurements for the purposes of further data analysis will be measurements recorded at the time of the necropsy.  For the 71 fish that had a broken tail, and the length taken at the time of necropsy was estimated, the length measurement from Newport (on the same fish) were used.  The Newport measurements used from Joe Dietrich’s station (station 3) had 6 mm subtracted from the length measurement.  The Newport length measurements from the other two stations were applied without adjustment.

UPDATE 6/22/21 - Liver weights from lab necropsy added. Samples without a liver weight values in the lab sampling notes were noted with a -9 value.This study includes results for tissue

UPDATE 12/17/2022 - Validated tissue chemistry of composite samples added.

****STATIONS****
Samples were processed and measured in the lab. Station codes were generated using the first 3 digits of the sample ID code. 

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
Lengths and Weights of juvenile Chinook in were measured in the lab by NOAA. Additional data will be added to this study later. 

Original Sample IDs were maintained in the database. 

Lab QCBatch values match the DIVER file collection number of the original lab data sheets.

The Start Time from the sample processing forms was used for the Sample Collection Date.

The Lab Rep field is populated with the Day that the daily incremental otolith and fork length measurements were recorded. For records that did not contain daily incremental measurements, a lab rep of “1A” was used to differentiate between the daily incremental measurements.

There were 19 otolith samples reported in the source data that had a processing note describing that their otoliths were deformed or had some irregularity and measurements were not taken. These samples were not included.

ADDITIONAL 12/17/2022-
Tissue chemistry samples are composites of individual juvenile chinook

Lab reps were assigned according to analysis sequence in order to maintain linkages with Lipids results from the same laboratory batch.

Fish Food (FF) Control and Treatment  samples can be identified by their SampleID:
FF-CC = 	Clean control
FF-SC = Solvent control
FF-T1	 = Treatment 1
FF-T2	 = Treatment 2
FF-T3	 = Treatment 3
FF-T4 = 	Treatment 4
FF-T5 = 	Treatment 5

****CHEMISTRY****
No dry weight-to-wet weight or wet weight-to-dry weight conversions were required.

Chemcodes for PCB congeners reflect the BZ numbering system.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the source data included sums, these values were maintained and coded with a CHEMCODE/Chemical name that indicated these are "reported" results (see specifics below).  Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were recalculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

=== PAH Sums === 
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) sums reported in the source data have been assigned chemcodes of LPAHR, HPAHR, and PAH_SUMR.

CHEMCODES = BAA, BAP, BEP, CHRYSENE, BANTH2, FLUORANTHN, PERYLENE, PYRENE

Total PAHs (chemcode = TOTAL_PAH) were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH chemicals as listed above.

=== PCB Sums === 
Total of PCB congeners were calculated and assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_P.  The total is the sum of congeners, with 30 or more congeners reported for each sample.

The congener sum was also reported with the chemcode PCB_SUM.

=== DDT Sums === 
The sum of paired o,p'/p,p' isomers of DDT and its derivatives reported in the source data  have been assigned chemcodes of DDT_SUMR, DDE_SUMR, and DDD_SUMR.  The sums of all DDT isomers have been assigned the chemcode  DDT_TOTALR.

The sums of the DDT pesticides (DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using a minimum of 4 isomers.  The following pairs were summed when results for both isomers were reported for the sample:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included.  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry are included.

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

The zip files contained the NOAA template files named MSA_Template.20030206_LWGExist20100618.mdb and MSA_Template.20030206_LWGExist20100615.mdb. 

Note: MSA_Template.20030206_LWGExist20100618.mdb - this date is a typo - these data are actually the QM Update of 20110518.

****DATA TYPES****
The data set included only sediment chemistry data.

****STATIONS****
Station locations were included as reported.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
SampleIDs were included as reported.

 
Laboratory replicates were included as provided in the source database.

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifier definitions were obtained from the table called ANOTE_qualifier descriptions.
CALC_### = the calculated total where the number represents the number of analytes analyzed and considered for incorporation in the sum.
UCALC_### = the maximum value from undetected results where the maximum undetected value was greater than the calculated total for detected results.  The number represents the number of analytes analyzed and considered for incorporation in the sum.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
*** PAH Sums *** 
If PAH sums were provided with the data, they  have been assigned chemcodes of "LPAHR", "HPAHR", and "PAH_SUMR"

PAH sums were calculated using a database routine as follows:

Sums for LPAHs included the following the individual compounds (if measured in the study):
  acenaphthene  ('ACENAPTHEN')
  anthracene  ('ANTHRACENE')
  biphenyl  ('BIPHENYL')
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene  ('METNAP26_2')
  fluorene  ('FLUORENE')
  1-methylnaphthene  ('METHNAP_1')
  2-methylnapthene  ('METHNAP_2')
  1-methylphenanthrene  ('METPHENAN1')
  phenanthrene  ('PHENANTHRN')
  naphthalene  ('NAPTHALENE')
  
Sums for HPAHs included the following individual compounds (if measured in the study):
  benz(a)anthracene  ('BAA')
  benzo(a)pyrene   ('BAP')

  chrysene  ('CHRYSENE')
  dibenz(a,h)anthracene   ('BANTH2')
  fluoranthene ('FLUORANTHN') 
  perylene   ('PERYLENE') 
  pyrene  ('PYRENE')

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The qualifier codes includes the number of compounds used in the sum.

Total PAHs are calculated as the sum of analytes listed in the LPAH and HPAH groups above.

*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The qualifier codes includes the number of compounds used in the sum.

*** PCB Sums ***
PCB sums from Aroclor data (chemcode PCB_SUM_A) were calculated using a database routine as follows:

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The qualifier codes includes the number of compounds used in the sum.

Aroclors were used for the PCB_SUM results.

--------------------------------------------------
1097D2--US Govt Moorings RI 2008
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data were provided in a spreadsheet format similar to the NOAA Excel template for use with the MS Access converter system.  The study contact was listed as Chris Budai (Project Manager), United States Army Corps of Engineers, phone: (503) 808-4725, email: Christine.M.Budai@usace.army.mil.

****DATA TYPES****
The data set includes only sediment data.

****STATIONS****
Coordinates were reported as latitude/longitude  NAD 83.  The original file provided two sets of coordinates for stations assigned the same StationID, although the descriptions would state "Surface" and "Subsurface".  Therefore the original StationIDs were revised with "SS" on the end for the "Surface" locations and "SB" on the end for "Subsurface" locations. For example, SDDA 17 was changed to SDDA17SS and SDDA17SB  (spaces were removed to fit the requirements of the database structure).

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
Samples were collected using a variety of methods including Van Veen grab, Vibracore, and Geoprobe.  Field duplicates were assigned different station IDs from the corresponding field samples.

The soure file provided two sets of coordinates for each StationID although the descriptions distinguished the locations as "Surface" and "Subsurface" (see Station comments).  It was not known how the samples should be assigned to these StationIDs (e.g. grab samples from surface and vibracore and geoprobe for subsurface).  For this first version of the database, we have assigned the surface coordinates to all samples that have an upper depth of 0 cm and lower depth of 30.48 cm or less.  The subsurface coordinates have been assigned to any sample that has an upper depth of 0 cm and lower depth > 30.48 (no samples fit this pattern) or an upper depth >0 cm.
 
Several analytes are reported from more than one analytical method (e.g.,  Naphthalene, 1,4-Dichlorobnzene, Hexachlorobenzene, Hexachloroethane & Hexachlorobutadiene).  The result with the lower detection limit has been assigned the labrep code of "1" (preferred result to be reported with main sample).  The other analyte is assigned a lab rep code of "2".

****QUALIFIERS****
Defined in the qualify table.  Descriptions are generic ones used in the template since no additional information was provided with these data.
CALC_### = the calculated total where the number represents the number of analytes analyzed and considered for incorporation in the sum.
UCALC_### = the maximum value from undetected results where the maximum undetected value was greater than the calculated total for detected results.  The number represents the number of analytes analyzed and considered for incorporation in the sum.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
*** Grain size ***
The grain size data were shown with units of "Percent".  After assigning the chemcodes for grain size, the clay and silt components were summed and new records appended for %fines.  The sums by sample of the grain size results (excluding the %fines calculated results) ranged from  64.06 to 109.33.  Since the sums for all grain size components didn't total 100%, then the sums for %fines may be inaccurate. 

*** PCB Sums***
Total PCBs were calculated from the Aroclor data (PCB_SUM_A).  Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.  

The Aroclor sum was also reported as PCB_SUM.

*** DDT Sums *** 
The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  


*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.	


*** PAH Sums *** 
If PAH sums were provided with the data, they  have been assigned chemcodes of "LPAHR", "HPAHR", and "PAH_SUMR"

PAH sums were calculated using a database routine as follows:

Sums for LPAHs included the following the individual compounds (if measured in the study):
  acenaphthene
  anthracene
  biphenyl
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene
  fluorene
  1-methylnaphthene
  2-methylnapthene
  1-methylphenanthrene
  phenanthrene
  naphthalene
  
CHEMCODES = 'ACENAPTHEN', 'ANTHRACENE', 'BIPHENYL', 'METNAP26_2', 'FLUORENE', 'METHNAP_1', 'METHNAP_2', 'METPHENAN1', 'PHENANTHRN', 'NAPTHALENE'
	
Sums for HPAHs included the following individual compounds (if measured in the study):
  benz(a)anthracene
  benzo(a)pyrene
  benzo(e)pyrene
  chrysene
  dibenz(a,h)anthracene
  fluoranthene
  perylene
  pyrene
  
CHEMCODES = 'BAA', 'BAP', 'BEP', 'CHRYSENE', 'BANTH2', 'FLUORANTHN', PERYLENE', 'PYRENE'

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.	

Total PAHs are calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH totals.

The data is validated and qualified but the validator and the validation level are not known.

****DATA TYPES****
This study includes results for sediment.

****STATIONS****
Actual station coordinates were provided using the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), Oregon State Plane North Zone, in units of international feet. Sample coordinates were inadvertently not recorded at sample location URSC-RM18.45E-G009, so the target sample coordinates were used as the actual sample location, which is considered accurate to within 20 feet. Values in NAD 83 decimal degrees were also included in the source data.

The station identifiers in the source data were truncated for inclusion in the database ('URSC' was removed from the ID code).

The composite sample coordinates represent the "centroid" of the successful grab sample locations. These coordinates were calculated using the “Mean Center” tool in ArcGIS, which identifies the geographic center.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The sample identifiers reported in the source data are stored in the Field ID field.  The Sample identifiers in the source data were truncated for inclusion in the database (Only the last 4 digits of the ID code were used).  

Sampling dates and sample depth information were provided for all samples.  

Hexachlorobenzene was measured by two different methods, and the LABREP field was coded as follows:  Lab rep 1 for method ALS SOP;  Labrep 2 for method SW8270D.

	Total PCBs was measured by two different methods, and the LABREP field was coded as follows:  Lab rep 1 for method E1668C;  Labrep 2 for method GSISUM_CONGENERS. 

This study includes sediment samples analyzed by the lab that are composites from multiple individual samples.   Information about the both the composite sample and the individual component samples are captured in the database.

****CHEMISTRY****
Based on the study report, it was assumed that all sediment and soil chemistry results were provided on a DW basis.

Detection limits were not included in the source data.

No dry weight-to-wet weight or wet weight-to-dry weight conversions were required.

Grainsize analysis was run on the homogenized sediment samples following sieving and removal of material > 2 mm (i.e., gravels).

	The original analyte name of GSI Total 2,4-DDx (U=1/2) and GSI Total 4,4-DDx (U=1/2) were replaced with the chemcodes OP_DD_SUMR and PP_DD_SUMR under the assumption that it was a total of op-DDT,op-DDD,op-DDE and pp-DDT,pp-DDD,pp-DDE.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Reported sums use 1/2 the DL in the calculation of sums.

=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the source data included sums, these values were maintained and coded with a CHEMCODE/Chemical name that indicated these are "reported" results (see specifics below).  Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were recalculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

=== Grain Size ===
Results for %silt and %clay were summed and reported in the source data to generate records for the chemcode = PCT_FINES. 

=== PAH Sums === 
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) sums reported in the source data have been assigned chemcodes of LPAHR, HPAHR, and PAH_SUMR.

Total low molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = LPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:
  acenaphthene
  anthracene
  biphenyl
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene
  fluorene
  1-methylnaphthene
  2-methylnapthene
  1-methylphenanthrene
  phenanthrene
  naphthalene
  
CHEMCODES = ACENAPTHEN, ANTHRACENE, BIPHENYL, METNAP26_2, FLUORENE, METHNAP_1, METHNAP_2, METPHENAN1, PHENANTHRN, NAPTHALENE

Total high molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = HPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:  
  benz(a)anthracene
  benzo(a)pyrene
  benzo€pyrene
  chrysene
  dibenz(a,h)anthracene
  fluoranthene
  perylene
  pyrene
  
CHEMCODES = BAA, BAP, BEP, CHRYSENE, BANTH2, FLUORANTHN, PERYLENE, PYRENE

Total PAHs (chemcode = TOTAL_PAH) were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH chemicals as listed above.

=== PCB Sums === 
PCB Congener sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_PR.

Total of PCB congeners were calculated and assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_P.  The total is the sum of congeners, with 30 or more congeners reported for each sample.

Total PCB homologs were calculated and assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_H for samples with nine homologs reported.  

The congener sum was also reported with the chemcode PCB_SUM.

=== DDT Sums === 
The sum of paired o,p'/p,p' isomers of DDT and its derivatives reported in the source data  have been assigned chemcodes of DDT_SUMR, DDE_SUMR, and DDD_SUMR.  The sums of all DDT isomers have been assigned the chemcode  DDT_TOTALR.

The original analyte name“GSI Total 2,4-DDx (U=1/2)” and “GSI Total 4,4-DDx (U=1/2)” were replaced with the chemcodes OP_DD_SUMR and PP_DD_SUMR under the assumption that it was a total of op-DDT,op-DDD,op-DDE and pp-DDT,pp-DDD,pp-DDE.

The sums of the DDT pesticides (DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using a minimum of 4 isomers.  The following pairs were summed when results for both isomers were reported for the sample:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

=== Chlordane Sums === 
Chlordane sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode CHLDN_SUMR.

The sums of Chlordane pesticides (CHLDNE_SUM) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported: alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane, cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor (CHEMCODES = CHLORDAN_A,  CHLORDAN_G, CHLORDAN_B, CHLDNE_C_T, CHLDNE_OXY, NONACL_CIS, NONACHL_TR).

Sums for LPAHs included the following the individual compounds (if measured in the study):
  acenaphthene  ('ACENAPTHEN')
  anthracene  ('ANTHRACENE')
  biphenyl  ('BIPHENYL')
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene  ('METNAP26_2')
  fluorene  ('FLUORENE')
  1-methylnaphthene  ('METHNAP_1')
  2-methylnapthene  ('METHNAP_2')
  1-methylphenanthrene  ('METPHENAN1')

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

Total PAHs are calculated as the sum of analytes listed in the LPAH and HPAH groups above.

*** PCB Sums ***
PCB sums from Aroclor data (chemcode PCB_SUM_A) were calculated using a database routine as follows:

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

Aroclors sums were used for the PCB_SUM results.

****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates from a  5/22/2002 submission.  The original Studyid assigned was 04.

****DATA TYPES****
Subsurface sediment chemistry data are included.

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  The sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero.  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  For this study, there were no identified fieldreps.  Fieldrep codes were eliminated.

 
The first sample analyzed was originally coded as labrep = "01" in the source files.   The "01" was eliminated during conversion.  Additional lab replicates are denoted by "02" and "03".

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Total DDTs were reported in the original source files.  However, on examination of the data, only p,p'-isomers were provided.  Therefore the Total DDT sum  was coded as PP_DD_SUMR.

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifiers were those original provided by Striplin Environmental Associates.

	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Total PAHs were calculated.  Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

The reference sample (stationid=97010  sampleid=9720 ) was used in two different series for the bioassay testing.  To distinguish the samples (for the unique database key), the letter "B" was added to the sampleid for series=2.

****QUALIFIERS****
If qualifier descriptions were provided, these were added to the qualify file. If a qualifier was used but a definition was not provided, this was left blank in the qualify file. 

****BIOASSAY****
Chironomus: Original data listed lifestage as juvenile, changed to larvae as juvenile is usually larvae.   

No significance or statistics were provided. 

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
In the summing routines, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included.  All sediment chemistry data resides in the subsurface chemistry table.

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

Note: MSA_Template.20030206_LWGExist20100618.mdb - this date is a typo - these data are actually the QM Update of 20110518.

Data provided in an MS Access database named NOAA_Format_DPSC_Data_Jan_14_2009.mdb.

Additional Data was provided in an excel file named WLLAS_studies.xls

Update 1/21/20 - Merged all records from DPSC Phase 1 2008 (1097:H3) into study Downtown Portland Sediment Study, 2008 (1097:DP) removing all duplicated records.
Removed duplicate study DPSC Phase 1 2008 (1097:H3) – data all contained in study Downtown Portland Sediment Study, 2008 (1097:DP).
Added 37955 new chemistry records and 162 new samples to Downtown Portland Sediment Study, 2008 (1097:DP).

****STUDY PURPOSE****
The purpose of this study is: Sediment Characterization

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
The data was validated at QA2Cat1.

Field duplicate and and lab replicate data are included.

****DATA TYPES****
This study includes results for sediment.

****STATIONS****
Original station coordinates were provided as NAD83 latitude and longitude.  Coordinates were included as reported in the source data.  The reliability of the coordinates was not specified.

The Station identifiers reported in the source data are stored in the Original Station ID field.  

The Station identifiers in the source data were truncated tio create the database standard Station ID, the last 4-5 characters of the Original Station ID were used.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
For original Field IDs, there was a prefix of "DPSC-".  These were removed in the FieldID of the sample table due to size restrictions.

Field Replicates have a sampleID in the 500 sequence (e.g. C539B is the field duplicate for C039B).  In the original data set, the station ID used the same 500 sequence.  However, during conversion steps, the correct StationID was assigned based on information provided by GeoEngineers Inc.

Lab Rep field codes:
D is Lab Duplicate, 
T is Lab Triplicate, 
1 is 1st re-analysis, 
2 is 2nd re-analysis.  

Sampling dates and sample depth information were provided for all samples.  

When there were no other criteria available, lab reps were assigned according to analysis method.

****CHEMISTRY****
Detection limit values were not provided in the dataset.  

Result values of 0 for non-detects were replaced with the Method Detection Limit in the provided results. Reporting Limits were present in the study report but were not provided in the source data and so were not included.

Rejected results are included in the database and not modified;  the associated QUALCODE includes R.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the source data included sums, these values were maintained and coded with a CHEMCODE/Chemical name that indicated these are "reported" results (see specifics below).  Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were recalculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The qualifier codes includes the number of compounds used in the sum.

Aroclors were used for the PCB_SUM results.

109741--Ross Island Phase I 1999
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry and pore water data are included.   Toxicity data are included.

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Total PCBs and Total PAHs were calculated.  Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.  

Total PCBs were calculated using Aroclor data and reported as PCB_SUM_A (sum of Aroclors) and PCB_SUM.

Total PAH is the sum of the LPAH and the HPAH values.

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifiers were those original provided by Striplin Environmental Associates.

****BIOASSAY****
Statistical analysis were completed by a NOAA analyst using bioassay replicate data.  Data were tested using one-tailed t-tests with alpha=0.05 in comparison to the negative control.  The following t-tests were conducted: equal variance t-test; unequal variance t-test; non-parametric t-test.

Statistical tests were completed for Chironomus tentans survival and growth, and Hyalella azteca survival.

Any survival data in the replicate results which had survival>100% were set to a maximum value of 100.  The mean survival and control adjusted results were recalculated with the revised replicate values where applicable.  Original significance designations were placed in the sig_origin field with the following codes:  NS - not significant; NS* - not significant and high variability (Low Power); S - significant; NA - unable to complete test.  

For those results where the statistical test determined the result to be significant, but the mean sample survival was >=90%, the sigeffect flag (used in Query Manager queries) was set to false (High Power) because the result may not be biologically meaningful.

Where the growth endpoint for Chironomus tentans was not significant, but the survival endpoint for Chironomus was significant, the sigeffect field for the growth endpoint was set to true.

1097A0--Portland Harbor Round 1 2002
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Supplied in MS Access template by Integral on 07/16/04.  This is a complete replacement of the prior Round 1 data provided.  

BERA rule sums are included in this study, including total of 34 PAHs in units of toxic units (non-standard QM unit).  These records were coded with a qualifier of "NSR" (non-standard reporting unit).

****DATA TYPES****
Contains sediment chemistry and tissue chemistry results.   Original data in template were coded with a field for "reportable_result".  The reportable_result field in the chem tables indicates "Yes" for the result values that are the preferred result where more than one result was generated (for example, when a chem showed up in more than one analysis method or when reanalyses were run).  This converted data set contains only the reportable_result="yes" data.  

****STATIONS****
Station locations were provided from differential GPS.  Converted by Striplin Associates from State Plane NAD 83 feet to latitude/longitude NAD 83 using software CORPSCON from the US Army Corps of Engineers.

 
Notes from data providers: Lab reps were numbered 1 through 4 and then appended with Y when reportable_result was Yes.  If that still did not create a unique key based on station, sample, lab rep, and chemical name, then the appended letters were increased sequentially after sorting by the qualifier, analysis date, and analysis time (e.g. 1Y, 1Z).

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
No  sums provided in the submitted data set.  
The following sums for generated for sediment and tissue data - Total PCBs and Total LPAHs, Total HPAHs, Total PAHs, and Total DDTs. Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  

*** PCB Sums ***
For sediments - Total PCBs were calculated using Aroclor data for 73 samples/labreps.  Seven Aroclors were analyzed for each sample.  The sum from the Aroclor data were reported as PCB_SUM_A (sum of Aroclors) and PCB_SUM.
Congener data exists for 12 samples and 2 lab replicates; these were calculated into sums reported as PCB_SUM_P.  

For tissue data - Total PCBs were calculated using Aroclor data (129 results) as PCB_SUM_A and using congener data (52 results) as PCB_SUM_P.   The sum from the Aroclor data were also reported as PCB_SUM.

*** DDT Sums *** 
The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

109714--Portland General Electric RA Plan 1987-1988
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Original data (tissue chemistry) derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.  Additional data provided in database submitted in 2006-01_-_LWG_EXIST_QUERY_MANAGER_UPDATE.ZIP.  The additional data is for sediment chemistry.

****DATA TYPES****
Tissue chemistry data were provided in the initial data.  Sediment chemistry was added from submission dated Jan 2006.

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Total PCB is based on a reported value since insufficient PCB data was available for performing a calculation.

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifiers were those original provided by Striplin Environmental Associates.

****BIOASSAY****
Statistical analysis were completed by a NOAA analyst using bioassay replicate data.  Data were tested using one-tailed t-tests with alpha=0.05 in comparison to the negative control.  The following t-tests were conducted: equal variance t-test; unequal variance t-test; non-parametric t-test.

Statistical tests were completed for Chironomus tentans survival and growth, and Hyalella azteca survival.

Any survival data in the replicate results which had survival>100% were set to a maximum value of 100.  The mean survival and control adjusted results were recalculated with the revised replicate values where applicable.  Original significance designations were placed in the sig_origin field with the following codes:  NS - not significant; NS* - not significant and high variability (Low Power); S - significant; NA - unable to complete test.  

For those results where the statistical test determined the result to be significant, but the mean sample survival was >=90%, the sigeffect flag (used in Query Manager queries) was set to false (High Power) because the result may not be biologically meaningful.

Where the growth endpoint for Chironomus tentans was not significant, but the survival endpoint for Chironomus was significant, the sigeffect field for the growth endpoint was set to true.

The zip files contained the NOAA template files named MSA_Template.20030206_LWGExist20100618.mdb and MSA_Template.20030206_LWGExist20100615.mdb. 

Note: MSA_Template.20030206_LWGExist20100618.mdb - this date is a typo - these data are actually the QM Update of 20110518.

****DATA TYPES****
The data set included only sediment chemistry data.

****STATIONS****
Station locations were not included in the database, and reported as 0 in the station table.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****

Laboratory replicates were included as provided in the source database.

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifier definitions were obtained from the table called ANOTE_qualifier descriptions.
CALC_### = the calculated total where the number represents the number of analytes analyzed and considered for incorporation in the sum.
UCALC_### = the maximum value from undetected results where the maximum undetected value was greater than the calculated total for detected results.  The number represents the number of analytes analyzed and considered for incorporation in the sum.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****

  acenaphthene
  anthracene
  biphenyl
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene
  fluorene
  1-methylnaphthene
  2-methylnapthene
  1-methylphenanthrene
  phenanthrene
  naphthalene
  
CHEMCODES = 'ACENAPTHEN', 'ANTHRACENE', 'BIPHENYL', 'METNAP26_2', 'FLUORENE', 'METHNAP_1', 'METHNAP_2', 'METPHENAN1', 'PHENANTHRN', 'NAPTHALENE'
	
Sums for HPAHs included the following individual compounds (if measured in the study):
  benz(a)anthracene
  benzo(a)pyrene
  benzo(e)pyrene

  fluoranthene
  perylene
  pyrene
  
CHEMCODES = 'BAA', 'BAP', 'BEP', 'CHRYSENE', 'BANTH2', 'FLUORANTHN', PERYLENE', 'PYRENE'

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.   The number of compounds used in the sum is included in the qualifier code.	

Total PAHs are calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH totals.

*** PCB Sums***
Total PCBs were calculated from the Aroclor data (PCB_SUM_A).  Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.   The number of compounds used in the sum is included in the qualifier code.	

The Aroclor sum was also reported as PCB_SUM.

*** DDT Sums *** 
The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).   

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.   The number of compounds used in the sum is included in the qualifier code.	

*** Chlordane Sums *** 
Chlordane data were summed (CHLDNE_SUM) using a database routine where one or more of the following chemicals have been reported:
 alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane,  cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor  (CHEMCODES = 'CHLORDAN_A',  'CHLORDAN_G',' CHLORDAN_B', 'CHLDNE_C_T', 'CHLDNE_OXY', 'NONACL_CIS', 'NONACHL_TR').

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The number of compounds used in the sum is included in the qualifier code.

The zip files contained the NOAA template files named MSA_Template.20030206_LWGExist20100618.mdb and MSA_Template.20030206_LWGExist20100615.mdb. 

Note: MSA_Template.20030206_LWGExist20100618.mdb - this date is a typo - these data are actually the QM Update of 20110518.

****DATA TYPES****
The data set included only sediment chemistry data.

****STATIONS****
Station locations were included as reported.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
SampleIDs were included as reported.

UCALC_### = the maximum value from undetected results where the maximum undetected value was greater than the calculated total for detected results.  The number represents the number of analytes analyzed and considered for incorporation in the sum.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
*** PAH Sums *** 
If PAH sums were provided with the data, they  have been assigned chemcodes of "LPAHR", "HPAHR", and "PAH_SUMR"

  acenaphthene  ('ACENAPTHEN')
  anthracene  ('ANTHRACENE')
  biphenyl  ('BIPHENYL')
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene  ('METNAP26_2')
  fluorene  ('FLUORENE')
  1-methylnaphthene  ('METHNAP_1')
  2-methylnapthene  ('METHNAP_2')
  1-methylphenanthrene  ('METPHENAN1')
  phenanthrene  ('PHENANTHRN')

  chrysene  ('CHRYSENE')
  dibenz(a,h)anthracene   ('BANTH2')
  fluoranthene ('FLUORANTHN') 
  perylene   ('PERYLENE') 
  pyrene  ('PYRENE')

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The qualifier codes includes the number of compounds used in the sum.

Total PAHs are calculated as the sum of analytes listed in the LPAH and HPAH groups above.

*** DDT Sums *** 
If DDT sums were provided with the data, they  have been assigned chemcodes of "DDT_TOTALR".

DDT sums were calculated using a database routine as follows:

The sum of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) was calculated using at least four isomers. In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The qualifier codes includes the number of compounds used in the sum.

*** PCB Sums ***

1097V1--Portland Harbor Pre RD Study 2018/2019
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Source Data: PH_PDI-BL-Samp_Database_20191206.accdb

Description of data: ReadMe.pdf

****STUDY PURPOSE****
Pre Remedial Investigation

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
The data is validated and qualified but the validator and the validation level are not known.

After additional review and discussion with its partners, the EPA has determined that the FS summation rules are the most appropriate methodology for use during remedial design and long-term monitoring. The EPA acknowledges that the pre-design investigation and baseline sampling (PDI/BL) data collected by the Pre-Remedial Design Group in 2018 and 2019 followed a slightly different summation approach. The different approaches for handling non-detected analytes result in a negligible difference in the final calculated summations. However, prior to posting the PDI/BL data to the Portland Harbor interim data portal the EPA has updated the calculated totals in the PDI/BL data to reflect the FS summation rules approach.

****DATA TYPES****
This study includes results for surface and subsurface sediment, tissue, porewater, and surface water.

****STATIONS****
Some of the original station coordinates were provided as NAD83 latitude and longitude.  Coordinates were included as reported in the source data. The reliability of the coordinates was not specified.

Station identifiers were included as they were presented in the source data without modification.

Some of the original coordinates were provided in Oregon State Plane North Feet datum. Coordinates were converted to NAD83 latitude and longitude using QGIS. The original XY coordinates were plotted using OR State Plane Nprtj Feet and converted to a shapefile in QGIS. Conversion tools in QGIS were used to re-define the projection to Geographic Coordinate System to NAD83.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The Sample identifiers reported in the source data are stored in the ExSampID field.  The Sample identifiers in the source data were truncated for inclusion in the database by using part of the station ID and the original sample ID.

Field duplicates were given the same SampleID as the paired sample, followed by a 'D' suffix and a sample type code of FDUP. 

Sampling dates and sample depth information were provided for all samples.  

A Lab Rep of 2 was given to duplicate lab results that were marked as “calculated” for surface water results.

Total and dissolved (filtered) water fractions measured from the same whole water sample are differentiated by adding an F suffix to the SAMPLEID for the dissolved fraction.

Suffixes have been added to the SampleID code to create an association of 2 or more samples from one or more collected field samples.  For example, particulate samples are coded with the sediment sample code + a P suffix (e.g.,T061808 water sample and the associated particulate sample is T061808P).

There were results marked as "DILUTION" and "REANALYSIS" that were assigned lab reps of 1D and 1R if a lab rep 1 already existed.

****CHEMISTRY****
Based on the study report, it was assumed that all sediment chemistry results were provided on a DW basis. It was also assumed that tissue samples were reported on a wet weight basis.

Detection limits were not available for the entire data set.  When possible, the Result value for non-detects reflects the Detection Limit.  If the DL was unavailable, the Reporting Limit was used instead.

Rejected results were not  included in the database.

In the source file, chemical concentrations for co-eluting PCB congeners were reported as two separate records, and flagged with a C qualifier code.  These results were merged into one record, as per the database convention.

Results with multiple dilution factors were included in the dataset.  The preferred result was identified based on database conventions and assigned Lab Rep = 1.

There were three different “Total Solids” analyses done for each sample. 2 Total Solids @ 104C and 1 Total Solids @ 70C. Total Solids @70C was given a lab rep of 1 since this is the typical temperature solids are analyzed at. The Total Solids @104C were given lab reps of 2 and 3. All of the Total Solid analyte names were changed to “Total Solids”. The degree at which they were analyzed was retained in the “Notes” field.

There were silt and sand results marked as "unadjusted". These results were excluded from the database because there were 2 silt and sand records per sample and the “adjusted” records contributed to the reported Percent Fines calculation.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the source data included sums, these values were maintained and coded with a CHEMCODE/Chemical name that indicated these are "reported" results (see specifics below).  Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were recalculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

Sums are reported for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported: Aroclor 1016, Aroclor 1221, Aroclor 1232, Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1248, Aroclor 1254, Aroclor 1260, Aroclor 1262, Aroclor 1268 (CHEMCODES = AR_1016, AR_1221, AR_1232, AR_1242, AR_1248, AR_1254, AR_1260, AR_1262, AR_1268).  

The congener sum was also reported with the chemcode PCB_SUM.

=== DDT Sums === 
The sums of the DDT pesticides (DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using a minimum of 4 isomers.  The following pairs were summed when results for both isomers were reported for the sample:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

1097U7--Portland Harbor Groundwater Pathway Sed 2005
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Source: Lower Willamette Group

****STUDY PURPOSE****
Sediment samples to evaluate contaminant loading to groundwater.

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
The data is validated and qualified but the validator name was not provided.

The data validation indicated on the source data was QA2Cat1.

****DATA TYPES****
This study includes results for surface sediment.

****STATIONS****
The original coordinates were provided in NAD 1983 StatePlane Oregon North FIPS 3601. Coordinates were converted to NAD83 latitude and longitude using ArcMap. The original XY coordinates were plotted using NAD 1983 StatePlane Oregon North FIPS 3601 and converted to a shapefile in ArcMap. Arc Toolbox was used to re-define the projection to Geographic Coordinate System to NAD83.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The sample type field in the template for records with FR original sample type was changed to FDUP. And Sample ID was changed to 01D for these records.
This study included samples that were identified as field replicates (Sample Type = FR, in original source data table), but were collected from two different and discrete station locations, as can occur when using GPS equipment with high precision.  These samples have been included in the database as separate stations and therefore not assumed to be representing the same location, whether or not that was the original intent.

****CHEMISTRY****
Rejected results are included in the database and not modified;  the associated QUALCODE includes R. The default value of "-9" was added to the Results field for records with a QUALCODE of R. There are 9 records with QUAlCODE = R

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Calculated totals were included in the source data without a complete explanation of summing conventions. Totals include chemicals from the following groups: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, DDTs, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, and Volatile Organics. An addition at the end of the totals state "Calculated U = 1/2". Only three samples had a sufficient number of analytes to report PAH Sums following database conventions. No samples reported enough DDT analytes to calculate a DDT Sum following database conventions. 

=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the source data included sums, these values were maintained and coded with a CHEMCODE/Chemical name that indicated these are "reported" results (see specifics below).  Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were recalculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

=== PAH Sums === 
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) sums reported in the source data have been assigned chemcodes of LPAHR, HPAHR, and PAH_SUMR.

Total low molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = LPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:
  acenaphthene
  anthracene
  biphenyl
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene
  fluorene
  1-methylnaphthene
  2-methylnapthene
  1-methylphenanthrene
  phenanthrene
  naphthalene
  
CHEMCODES = ACENAPTHEN, ANTHRACENE, BIPHENYL, METNAP26_2, FLUORENE, METHNAP_1, METHNAP_2, METPHENAN1, PHENANTHRN, NAPTHALENE

Total high molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = HPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:  
  benz(a)anthracene
  benzo(a)pyrene
  benzo(e)pyrene
  chrysene
  dibenz(a,h)anthracene
  fluoranthene
  perylene
  pyrene
  
CHEMCODES = BAA, BAP, BEP, CHRYSENE, BANTH2, FLUORANTHN, PERYLENE, PYRENE

Total PAHs (chemcode = TOTAL_PAH) were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH chemicals as listed above.

****BIOASSAY****

--------------------------------------------------
109774--Willamette River Data 1998
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

BERA rule sums are included in this study, including total of 34 PAHs in units of toxic units (non-standard QM unit).  These records were coded with a qualifier of "NSR" (non-standard reporting unit).

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry and toxicity data are included.  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Total PCBs and Total PAHs were calculated.  Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.  

Total PCBs were calculated using Aroclor data and reported as PCB_SUM_A (sum of Aroclors) and PCB_SUM.

Low molecular weight PAHs include the following:
Chemcode                Chemname
ACENAPTHEN       Acenaphthene    
ANTHRACENE       Anthracene    
BIPHENYL              Biphenyl

FLUORENE              Fluorene
METHNAP_1           1-Methylnaphthalene     
METHNAP_2           2-Methylnaphthalene     
METPHENAN1       1-Methylphenanthrene   
PHENANTHRN      Phenanthrene   
	 
High molecular weight PAHs include the following:	
Chemcode                Chemname
BAA                             Benzo(a)anthracene  
BAP                             Benzo(a)pyrene 
BEP                             Benzo(a)pyrene        
CHRYSENE             Chrysene    
BANTH2                    Dibenz(a,h)anthracene     
FLUORANTHN       Fluoranthene  
PERYLENE              Perylene 
PYRENE                   Pyrene   

Total PAH is the sum of the LPAH and the HPAH values.

****QUALIFIERS****
Qualifiers were those original provided by Striplin Environmental Associates.

****BIOASSAY****
Statistical analysis were completed by a NOAA analyst using bioassay replicate data.  Data were tested using one-tailed t-tests with alpha=0.05 in comparison to the negative control.  The following t-tests were conducted: equal variance t-test; unequal variance t-test; non-parametric t-test.

Statistical tests were completed for Hyalella azteca survival.

Any survival data in the replicate results which had survival>100% were set to a maximum value of 100.  The mean survival and control adjusted results were recalculated with the revised replicate values where applicable.  Original significance designations were placed in the sig_origin field with the following codes:  NS - not significant; NS* - not significant and high variability (Low Power); S - significant; NA - unable to complete test. 

For those results where the statistical test determined the result to be significant, but the mean sample survival was >=90%, the sigeffect flag (used in Query Manager queries) was set to false (High Power) because the result may not be biologically meaningful.

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

Total PAHs are calculated as the sum of analytes listed in the LPAH and HPAH groups above.


*** PCB Sums ***
PCB sums from Aroclor data (chemcode PCB_SUM_A) were calculated using a database routine as follows:

In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.

The sum of Aroclors  were used for the PCB_SUM results.

1097A3--Portland Harbor Round 2A Juvenile Chinook 2005
--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
The data were supplied in the NOAA Query Manager (MS Access) template.  File date was November 30, 2005.

****DATA TYPES****
The data set is for Round 2 juvenile Chinook tissue chemistry.

****STATIONS****
Coordinates were provided in the template as latitude/longitude and assumed to be NAD83.  Each station represents a general area of the river.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
Samples with the code SC on the end, are for stomach contents.  All others are whole body composite (prep unknown).  In general, there are 3 whole body composite samples per location and 1 stomach content sample per location.  Two additional stomach content samples were collected for NOAA (at different stations from one another).  These have the code SCN on the sample.

 
 The original data were identified as 1 whole body composite sample and 2 field replicates of the whole body composite for each location.  However, since the length and weight data were not the same for each of these, it was assumed that the "field reps" are actually separate samples from the same location, not splits of one larger composite sample for each location.

There are lab duplicate results for metals data for Station T01/Sample 01WH and for Station T04/ Sample 02WH.  These duplicates are marked with Labrep="2".

For hexachlorobenzene (CLBNZ6) and hexachlorobutadiene (CLBUTAD6), results were generated from two different analytical methods.  Those from Method SW8081A are marked as Labrep="1" and those from Method SW8270-SIM are marked as Labrep="1N".  

There were two results for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran for Station T01/Sample 03WH, both from the same method, but at two different analysis times.  The later result was marked as Labrep="1N"

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
In the summing routines, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum of detected results, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  Specifics of the summed parameters are as follows:

 *** PCB Sums ***
PCB sums as polychlorinated biphenyls were provided with the data set.  It is not clear how these sums were calculated.  These sums were assigned a chemcode of PCB_SUMR.

PCB sums from congener data (chemcode PCB_SUM_P) were calculated using a database routine as follows:  In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The number of congeners used in the sum is included in the qualifier code.  Reported total congeners are included as chemcode PCB_SUM_PR.

PCB sums from Aroclor data (chemcode PCB_SUM_A) were calculated using a database routine as follows:  In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  The number of aroclors used in the sum is included in the qualifier code.  Reported total aroclors are included as chemcode PCB_SUM_AR.

PCB sums from homolog data (chemcode PCB_SUM_H) were calculated using a database routine as follows:  In the summing routine, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros.  If all compounds that comprise the total are not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detected compound is greater than the sum, than the highest non-detect value is reported with a "U" qualifier.  

The calculated sum of the PCB congeners are also reported with Chemcode = PCB_SUM. 

*** DDT Sums *** 
The sums of the DDTs (chemcode DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using six isomers where available.  If three or fewer isomers are reported, the sums are not derived (routine assumes that only p,p'- isomers were reported).   Also, the sum of isomer pairs of DDT and it's derivatives were calculated.  The following pairs were summed when both isomers were provided for samples in the data set:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

--------------------------------------------------
****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included.  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Total PAHs were calculated.  Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.    

Low molecular weight PAHs include the following:
Chemcode                Chemname
ACENAPTHEN       Acenaphthene

****DATA SOURCE****
Source: LCREP (Lower Columbia Estuary Parnership)

****STUDY PURPOSE****
The purpose of this study is: Ecosystem Monitoring

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
The data is qualified but it has been assumed that the data was not validated because the source data contained one set of Laboratory qualifiers without any additional notes or evidence of validation.

****DATA TYPES****
This study includes results for tissue and sediment.

****STATIONS****
Original station coordinates were provided as NAD83 latitude and longitude. Coordinates were included as reported in the source data.  The reliability of the coordinates was not specified.

Station identifiers were included as they were presented in the source data. Some Station identifiers were truncated for inclusion in the database.

Not all Stations contained coordinate values in the source data. These were given values of 0,0.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The Sample identifiers reported in the source data are stored in the ExSampID field. Some of the sample identifiers in the source data were truncated for inclusion in the database.

Sampling dates and sample depth information were not provided for all samples.

****CHEMISTRY****
Some samples did not have matrices reported, their matrix was assumed to be tissue if measured on a wet weight basis and to be sediment if measured on a dry weight basis.

Detection limits were not available for the entire data set.  When possible, the Result value for non-detects reflects the Detection Limit.  If the DL was unavailable, the Reporting Limit was used instead and noted.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the source data included sums, these values were maintained and coded with a CHEMCODE/Chemical name that indicated these are "reported" results (see specifics below).  Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were recalculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

=== PAH Sums === 
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) sums reported in the source data have been assigned chemcodes of LPAHR, HPAHR, and PAH_SUMR.

Total low molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = LPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:
  acenaphthene
  anthracene
  biphenyl
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene
  fluorene
  1-methylnaphthene
  2-methylnapthene
  1-methylphenanthrene
  phenanthrene
  naphthalene
  
CHEMCODES = ACENAPTHEN, ANTHRACENE, BIPHENYL, METNAP26_2, FLUORENE, METHNAP_1, METHNAP_2, METPHENAN1, PHENANTHRN, NAPTHALENE

Total high molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = HPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:  
  benz(a)anthracene
  benzo(a)pyrene
  benzo€pyrene
  chrysene
  dibenz(a,h)anthracene
  fluoranthene
  perylene
  pyrene
  
CHEMCODES = BAA, BAP, BEP, CHRYSENE, BANTH2, FLUORANTHN, PERYLENE, PYRENE

Total PAHs (chemcode = TOTAL_PAH) were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH chemicals as listed above.

=== PCB Sums === 
PCB Congener sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_PR.

Total of PCB congeners were calculated and assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_P.  The total is the sum of congeners, with 30 or more congeners reported for each sample.

The congener sum was also reported with the chemcode PCB_SUM.

=== DDT Sums === 
The sum of paired o,p'/p,p' isomers of DDT and its derivatives reported in the source data  have been assigned chemcodes of DDT_SUMR, DDE_SUMR, and DDD_SUMR.  The sums of all DDT isomers have been assigned the chemcode  DDT_TOTALR.

The sums of the DDT pesticides (DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using a minimum of 4 isomers.  The following pairs were summed when results for both isomers were reported for the sample:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

=== Chlordane Sums === 
Chlordane sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode CHLDN_SUMR.

The sums of Chlordane pesticides (CHLDNE_SUM) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported: alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane, cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor (CHEMCODES = CHLORDAN_A,  CHLORDAN_G, CHLORDAN_B, CHLDNE_C_T, CHLDNE_OXY, NONACL_CIS, NONACHL_TR).

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were calculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

=== PAH Sums === 
Total low molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = LPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:
  acenaphthene
  anthracene
  biphenyl
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene
  fluorene
  1-methylnaphthene
  2-methylnapthene
  1-methylphenanthrene
  phenanthrene
  naphthalene
  
CHEMCODES = ACENAPTHEN, ANTHRACENE, BIPHENYL, METNAP26_2, FLUORENE, METHNAP_1, METHNAP_2, METPHENAN1, PHENANTHRN, NAPTHALENE

Total high molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = HPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:  
  benz(a)anthracene
  benzo(a)pyrene
  benzo(e)pyrene
  chrysene
  dibenz(a,h)anthracene
  fluoranthene
  perylene
  pyrene
  
CHEMCODES = BAA, BAP, BEP, CHRYSENE, BANTH2, FLUORANTHN, PERYLENE, PYRENE

Total PAHs (chemcode = TOTAL_PAH) were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH chemicals as listed above.

=== PCB Sums === 
Total of PCB congeners were calculated and assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_P.  Since there were more than 17 congeners, but less than 30 congeners reported, only the congeners on the NOAA Status and Trends (NST) Congener shortlist of 18 congeners were summed, and the resulting value was multiplied by 2.  If the detection limit of any one of the non-detected compounds was greater than or equal to the sum (prior to multiplication by 2), than the highest non-detect value was reported with a UCALC qualifier.  

The congener sum was also reported with the chemcode PCB_SUM.

=== DDT Sums === 
The sums of the DDT pesticides (DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using 6 isomers.  The following pairs were summed when results for both isomers were reported for the sample:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

=== Chlordane Sums === 
The sums of Chlordane pesticides (CHLDNE_SUM) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported: alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane, cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor (CHEMCODES = CHLORDAN_A,  CHLORDAN_G, CHLORDAN_B, CHLDNE_C_T, CHLDNE_OXY, NONACL_CIS, NONACHL_TR).

****STUDY PURPOSE****
The purpose of this study is: Site Investigation

****DATA USE QUALIFICATION****
Update 05/28/2021 - The chemistry records have been validated by EcoChem at the EPA Stage2A level.
The validated data set includes 7,452 individual records across four sample delivery groups of composited whole body and stomach content chemistry data. Qualifier codes for 7,142 records did not change.

Minor updates in the vEDD which may affect analytical results:
* New "U" qualifiers for 94 records, indicating the analyte was not detected above the reported sample quantitation limit. The new U qualifiers are spread across PAHs acenaphthylene, naphthalene, and C-2 and C-3 naphthalenes. The new qualifiers are the result of these analytes detected in laboratory blanks (i.e., blank contamination). New qualifiers are spread evenly across records and sample delivery groups.

* Database calculated LPAH anfd TPAH SUMS were updated to reflect validator updates to non-detect qualifiers and concentration values of analytes in the sums.

* Minor transcription errors between the lab report and the lab EDD. EcoChem corrected this info based on conversations with the lab manager. A couple dozen records were corrected in the vEDD. For example, discrepancies included addition or removal of a "U" flag; an update to DDx values for one sample that does not impact the Total DDx for that sample; and revisions to DDx and PCB values for an SRM (PDF p.3 of report).

* The analyte previously reported in DIVER as DECACL_BIP/”Decachlorobiphenyl was re-coded as PCB209/BZ#209 as is now included in the PCB congener sums.
 
Updates in the vEDD which do not affect analytical results:
* New "J" qualifiers for 138 records, indicating the analyte was positively identified and the associated numerical value is the approximate concentration of the analyte in the sample. The new J qualifiers present in PAHs as well as PBDE-049. The new qualifiers were added when there were positive results for non-calibrated analytes or SRM recovery outside of the control limits. New qualifiers are spread evenly across records and sample delivery groups.

Unknown pentabromodiphenyl ethers: NWFSC didn’t include BR5DE04 and BR5DE05 in the calibration mixture, so they can’t identify which specific congeners they are. While the analytes are found in the SRM samples, both congeners are non-detects in all field samples. The version provided as "BR5DE05" is kept in the main chemistry data table while the second unknown peak BR5DE04 is kept in the chemxtedd excluded data table in the backend database.

Standard reference material and lab method blank samples for each QCBatch are provided for reference. These have "Lab" for the Station. They also have sample type "SRM" and "MB" respectively.

Original station coordinates were provided as NAD83 latitude and longitude. 
 
Individual fish from Stations 01 and 13 were composited for both whole body composites and stomach content composites. These combined station composites are denoted with a combined StationID PH01_13 which does not have spatial coordinates.

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
Individual fish Sample ID is the ID used by field and lab crews during the sampling (ex 20180001). Fry are coded as "Young of year" and Parr coded as "Juvenile". 

The QMSampleID of the whole body individual sample is the same as the field sample ID.

The stomach content of each fish is given a QMSampleID of "ST18" and the last 4 digits of the field sample ID. The SampleID matches the whole body record. 

Whole body chemistry samples consist of composites of individual fish. The lab sampleID for these samples start with PH2018_WHComp*. The QMSampleID is shortened to WHComp*.  

Stomach contents from individual fish were combined during initial processing into "stomach content vials". These are presented in listed Analysis results for each individual fish. These vials were combined in a second step into stomach content composites that were analyzed. The stomach composites consisted of fish from the following vial numbers:

2018PH_STComp01                	Vials 01, 02, 16
2018PH_STComp03               	Vials 03, 18
2018PH_STComp04	                Vials 04, 09, 11
2018PH_STComp06	                Vials 06
2018PH_STComp12	                Vials 12, 15
2018PH_STComp17	                Vials 13, 14, 17

The lab sampleID for stomach content composite samples start with PH2018_STComp*. The QMSampleID is shortened to STComp*.  

Field measured individual tissue parameters were transcribed during the sampling event.

The Method Blank samples have a QMSampleID that is "MB" followed by the number of the sample delivery group/qcbatch the sample originated in.

The Standard Reference material samples have a QMSampleID that is "RM47" or "RM74"" followed by the number of the sample delivery group/qcbatch the sample originated in.

The last three digits (001) correspond to the last three digits of the sample IDs used by field and lab crews during the sampling (ex 20180001).

Sample Identifier refers to the seine number at that station on that day. Chinook_Wild_LT100mm_FL_Kept are the juvenile chinook kept for genetic and analytic chemistry analysis. All other taxa were released.

****CHEMISTRY****
In the source data, the result_value field was completed with the value from the ‘reporting_detection_limit’ field for non-detected results; this convention was retained in the final database.  A U qualifier is assigned to these records.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
=== General Summing Conventions ===
Where the source data included sums, these values were maintained and coded with a CHEMCODE/Chemical name that indicated these are "reported" results (see specifics below).  Where the appropriate analytes were available, sums were recalculated and qualified with 'CALC' or 'UCALC' followed by a number representing the total number of analytes reported and not rejected (e.g., 'CALC_008').  In the summing procedure, non-detected compounds are treated as zeros (rejected results are excluded).  If all compounds that comprise the total were not detected or the detection limit of any one non-detect compounds is greater than the sum, then the highest non-detect value is reported with a 'UCALC' qualifier (e.g., UCALC_008).  Details regarding the specific compounds included in the sums are provided in the paragraphs below.

=== PAH Sums === 
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) sums reported in the source data have been assigned chemcodes of LPAHR, HPAHR, and PAH_SUMR.

Total low molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = LPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:
  acenaphthene
  anthracene
  biphenyl
  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene
  fluorene
  1-methylnaphthene
  2-methylnapthene
  1-methylphenanthrene
  phenanthrene
  naphthalene
  
CHEMCODES = ACENAPTHEN, ANTHRACENE, BIPHENYL, METNAP26_2, FLUORENE, METHNAP_1, METHNAP_2, METPHENAN1, PHENANTHRN, NAPTHALENE

Total high molecular weight PAHs (chemcode = HPAH) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported:  
  benz(a)anthracene
  benzo(a)pyrene
  benzo(e)pyrene
  chrysene
  dibenz(a,h)anthracene
  fluoranthene
  perylene
  pyrene
  
CHEMCODES = BAA, BAP, BEP, CHRYSENE, BANTH2, FLUORANTHN, PERYLENE, PYRENE

Total PAHs (chemcode = TOTAL_PAH) were calculated as the sum of the LPAH and HPAH chemicals as listed above.

=== PCB Sums === 
PCB Congener sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_PR.

Total of PCB congeners were calculated and assigned the chemcode PCB_SUM_P.  The total is the sum of congeners, with 30 or more congeners reported for each sample.  

The congener sum was also reported with the chemcode PCB_SUM

=== DDT Sums === 
The sum of paired o,p'/p,p' isomers of DDT and its derivatives reported in the source data  have been assigned chemcodes of DDT_SUMR, DDE_SUMR, and DDD_SUMR.  The sums of all DDT isomers have been assigned the chemcode  DDT_TOTALR.

The sums of the DDT pesticides (DDT_TOTAL) were calculated using a minimum of 4 isomers.  The following pairs were summed when results for both isomers were reported for the sample:  p,p'-DDT and o,p'-DDT (chemcode = DDT_SUM);  p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDD (chemcode = DDD_SUM);  p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDE  (chemcode = DDE_SUM).

=== Chlordane Sums === 
Chlordane sums reported in the source data have been assigned the chemcode CHLDN_SUMR.

The sums of Chlordane pesticides (CHLDNE_SUM) were calculated for samples with two or more of the following chemicals reported: alpha-Chlordane, gamma-Chlordane, beta-Chlordane, cis- & trans-Chlordane, Oxychlordane, cis-Nonachlor, and trans-Nonachlor (CHEMCODES = CHLORDAN_A,  CHLORDAN_G, CHLORDAN_B, CHLDNE_C_T, CHLDNE_OXY, NONACL_CIS, NONACHL_TR).

****DATA SOURCE****
Data derived from Access database provided by  Striplin Environmental Associates.

****DATA TYPES****
Sediment chemistry data are included.  

****STATIONS****
The station coordinates were converted from Oregon zone north 83 (feet) to geographic NAD83 by Striplin Associates.
Station IDs were assigned by  Striplin Associates as follows:
	STUDYID + (S for single station, C for location representing a composite of stations, or B for location with bioassay only (no sedchem)) + three digits, 001 through 999, for stations within each study

****SAMPLES AND REPLICATES****
The original sample IDs were assigned by Striplin Associates as the count of samples at each station (01 through xx).  Fieldreps were assigned in the original files provided.  The fieldrep was incremented for multiple samples on the same date (01 through 03).  Since Query Manager doesn't use fieldrep, but instead uses multiple sample IDs for a station to indicate fieldreps, then the sample IDs were renumbered to exclude the leading zero, and a letter designation given to the samples with fieldreps of "02" or higher (e.g., 1B, 1C, etc.).  Fieldrep codes were eliminated. 

 
No laboratory replicates were identified for the study.   The labrep field was originally coded as "01" in the source files.  This was eliminated in the sediment tables during conversion, but remain for the tissue chemistry tables.

****CALCULATED RESULTS****
Total PAHs were calculated.  Sums were calculated using the detected values or using the highest undetect if all values were undetected, and adding a "U" to the qualcode field.  If the highest undetect was higher than the summed value, than that undetected value is used as the sum.    

Low molecular weight PAHs include the following:
Chemcode                Chemname
ACENAPTHEN       Acenaphthene    
ANTHRACENE       Anthracene    
BIPHENYL              Biphenyl
NAPTHALENE        Naphthalene
METNAP26_2          2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene  
FLUORENE              Fluorene
METHNAP_1           1-Methylnaphthalene     
METHNAP_2           2-Methylnaphthalene     
METPHENAN1       1-Methylphenanthrene   
PHENANTHRN      Phenanthrene   
	 
High molecular weight PAHs include the following:	
Chemcode                Chemname
BAA                             Benzo(a)anthracene  
BAP                             Benzo(a)pyrene 
BEP                             Benzo(a)pyrene        
CHRYSENE             Chrysene    
BANTH2                    Dibenz(a,h)anthracene     
FLUORANTHN       Fluoranthene  
PERYLENE              Perylene 
PYRENE                   Pyrene   

Total PAH is the sum of the LPAH and the HPAH values.
