A May 2000 laboratory report from Columbia Analytical Services, Inc. presents water and sediment quality monitoring results for the Airport Communities Coalition in Richland, Washington. Samples were collected on April 19, 2000, and analyzed for metals, ammonia, pesticides, semivolatile organics, and other contaminants as part of project OO-101G. Two samples arrived broken and unusable, and one sediment sample showed elevated background components affecting Toxaphene reporting limits, though no major anomalies were found in the remaining analyses.
