Data_Set_Credit:
Special acknowledgment is given here to S.J. Williams (Chief Scientist
of the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Reston, VA) who
provided the initial opportunity for this database development and
supplied extensive documents that permitted initiation of data entry.
J.L. Kindinger (USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program, St.
Petersburg, FL) provided cooperation throughout the work. A.G.
McIntire (now U.S. Bureau of Census, Geography - TIGER Mapping Branch,
Upper Marlboro, MD) entered many of the early data sets, converted the
database to an initial Microsoft® Access format, and created many of
the illustrations in the preliminary publication (Manheim, Hayes, and
McIntire, 1998). G.C. Flowers (Tulane University Department of
Geology, New Orleans, LA) provided an important unpublished electronic
data set. We are grateful for the cooperation of J. Macauley and L.
Harwell (US EPA, EMAP Program, Gulf Breeze, FL) for providing
unpublished data and clarifying many details about the EMAP data for
southern Louisiana estuaries. Finally, we are indebted to the many
organizations and participants listed in Participants and Cooperators
for the data and cooperation.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
A variety of methods were used to analyze the accuracy and
suitability of data for their intended purposes. These are described
in detail in the report, but include knowledgeable assessment of
expected relationships among geochemical measures, inspection of the
range of values present, bivariate plots of related measures, and
comparison of nearby samples for anomalies.
Assessments of the quality of individual measurements are
included in the data as ancillary attributes; the report
refers to these as "quality-control fields".
The designation "W" in quality-control fields placed adjacent to
data fields in the full database warns that the data in question
appear to show unresolvable anomalies. "0" in a concentration field
means that the constituent was analyzed and found to have a
concentration below the detection limit for the method utilized.
(Zeros are different, therefore, from blank fields, which show that
the constituent was not measured). Other remarks in the
quality-control fields provide comments relating to the data that
may be helpful in interpreting or further evaluating the data. See
appendix B for further explanations on quality control and codes.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The data in this study have been acquired from historical sources as
well as from ongoing field programs. It is not feasible to apply the
standard quality-control protocols that check on the details of
sampling and analytical methodology (see Baker and Kravitz, 1992) to
heterogeneous data. To rescue data while minimizing problems
associated with data comparability, special batch screening techniques
were used to identify and call attention to data that have unresolved
problems. Although such tests do not necessarily prove that the data
are in error, they alert users to data that should be reevaluated or
confirmed before use in environmental characterization.
Completeness_Report:
The report includes sample location maps (as images) that
indicate the general distribution of analytical data.
Empty cell values in tables indicate analyses that were
not obtained from the given location.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Some latitudes and longitudes listed for stations near New Orleans
were found to plot on land, rather than offshore. Fortunately,
supplementary site descriptions available in the original
reference made better site identification possible in this case.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The development of the current database involved four phases: 1)
Discussions and interactions with knowledgeable individuals and
agencies to identify and retrieve pertinent data from many
sources, including unpublished data, 2) Selection and augmentation
of a data dictionary to provide consistent field/parameter
definitions and background documentation, 3) Encoding and
integration of the data tables in a master flat-file database
system involving eight basic tables linked by unique sample
identification codes, 4) Selective querying, mapping, and
interpretation of the data with the help of standard data sets to
identify potential outliers and quality problems and to identify
key geochemical and environmental relationships and processes.
Environmental issues include linking the chemical data to bulk
sediment toxicity criteria, searching for possible contaminant
sources, and identifying transport and geochemical processes. The
in-depth inventory and assessment was only possible with the help
of many partners and cooperators.
