Major oxide percentages are reported in Nooksack River fine sediment collected in September 2017. Ancillary data for sediment collected during 2017 and 2019 from Bellingham Bay, Nooksack River, and small creeks include: percent weights of gravel, sand, and fines; total organic carbon content (TOC); carbonate content (CaCO3); ratios of stable carbon 13/12 (d13C) and nitrogen 15/14 (d15N) isotopes and total carbon to total nitrogen (C:N); and short-lived cosmogenic radionuclide activities (Beryllium-7, Cesium-137, and excess Lead-210). Purpose: Sediment geochemical compositions were explored in order to distinguish potential sources of fine sediment to Bellingham Bay from the Nooksack River, Squalicum Creek, Whatcom Creek, and Padden Creek. Understanding the sources and timing of sediment and sediment-bound contaminant inputs to the coastal zone can inform management decisions aimed at reducing negative impact of these materials on and recovery of valued nearshore habitats and species. Supplemental_Information: June 2017 surface sediments from Bellingham Bay were collected by the Washington State Department of Ecology.

Browse_Graphic_File_Type: JPEG Data_Set_Credit: Margaret Dutch of the Washington State Department of Ecology collected Bellingham Bay 2017 surface sediments as part of the Urban Bays Monitoring Project. Angela Tan analyzed sediment particle size, total organic carbon content, and carbonate content at the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center sediment laboratory. Compositional analyses were performed by Agat Laboratories under contract to the Analytical Chemistry Project of the USGS Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center (CMERSC), jobs MRP-16864, MRP-16898, MRP-17826, MRP-17842, MRP-17850, and MRP-18322. CMERSC staff performed QA/QC checks. Ratios of stable isotopes of carbon 13/12 and nitrogen 15/14, and of total carbon to total nitrogen were determined by Colin Carney at the University of California at Santa Cruz Stable Isotope Lab. Native_Data_Set_Environment: Geochemical data are tabulated in comma separated variable (CSV) format. Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: For sediment particle size analyses, duplicates analyzed every 20 samples were within 15% of original values. Total organic carbon analyses were run in duplicate and averaged. For elemental content determinations, digested rock reference materials were used to standardize the data. The percent recovery for all elements was within 15% of reference values for concentrations that were not less than five times the limit of detection. For major oxide determinations, data were acceptable if recovery of the major oxides was plus or minus 5 percent at the limit of detection (0.01 percent) and the calculated percent relative standard deviation of duplicate samples was no greater than 5 percent. For short-lived cosmogenic radionuclides, sample activities were calculated by comparison to reference standards with the same geometry and counting time; reported uncertainties include 1 standard deviation counting errors, detector efficiency, and background corrections. For stable isotope analyses, long-term internal reference materials were included in every run. Logical_Consistency_Report: No formal logical consistency tests were conducted. Completeness_Report: Sediment particle size was not determined in March 2019 Nooksack River and creek sediment landward of the shoreline. Total organic carbon, carbonate content, and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios were generally not determined in 2017 Nooksack River and tributary sediment, with a few exceptions. June 2017 Bellingham Bay sediment was not subject to decarbonation prior to d13C analysis. Total inorganic mercury (Hg) contents were not determined in 2017 Nooksack River and tributary sediment. Multi-acid digestions were not performed on eight samples from March 2019: BEL19-18A, BEL19-18B, BEL19-19A, BEL19-19B, BEL19-19C, BEL19-22, BEL19-27, and EG4A due to sample size limitations. Short-lived radionuclide activities were only determined in 45 samples due to the short half-life of Beryllium-7 and the time required for analysis. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Garmin 78sc handheld GPS reported a horizontal accuracy of +/- 3 meters. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: SEDIMENT COLLECTION: Bellingham Bay surface sediment was collected using a benthic grab sampler deployed from a boat. Nooksack River, tributary, and small creek sediment was collected by hand. The surface 0-2 cm layer of nearshore, river, and creek sediment was sampled into plastic wire-top bags and stored frozen. Process_Date: 20190927 Process_Step: Process_Description: SEDIMENT PARTICLE SIZE, TOTAL ORGANIC CARBON, AND CARBONATE CONTENT ANALSES: Sediment particle size distributions were determined at the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center sediment laboratory. To remove organic material, 10 milliliters of 35 percent hydrogen peroxide were added to 20 grams of sediment. The sample was heated to 250 degrees Celsius to remove any remaining hydrogen peroxide and was placed in an ultrasonic bath to liberate the less than 0.063 millimeter-diameter (fine) fraction. The sample was centrifuged for 1.5 hours in deionized water to remove soluble salts. Samples were funneled through 2 millimeter- and 0.063 millimeter-diameter mesh sieves to separate gravel-sized (greater than 2 millimeter), sand-sized (0.063 to 2 millimeter), and mud-sized (less than 0.063 millimeter) particles. The sand and gravel fractions were dried at 80 degrees Celsius and weighed. Five milliliters of sodium hexametaphosphate was added to the mud fraction and a 20-milliliter aliquot was taken from a 1 liter graduated cylinder to determine the weight of the mud. Total carbon (TC), total inorganic carbon (TIC), and total organic carbon contents of bulk sediment were determined coulometrically (CM 5015 coulometer; UIC, Inc.) at the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center sediment lab. Approximately 1 gram of sediment was dried overnight at 80 degrees Celsius and pulverized by hand in a mortar and pestle. TC was determined by incineration at 950 degrees Celsius (UIC CM 5200 furnace) of 20 milligrams of dry sediment loaded into in foil capsules. TIC was determined by perchloric acid digestion (UIC CM 5130 acid digester) of 20 milligrams of dry sediment. TOC was calculated as the difference between TC and TIC. The calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content of sediment in weight percent was determined by multiplying TIC by 8.333, the mass ratio of CaCO3 to carbon.

Except for Bellingham Bay sediment collected in 2017, samples were decarbonated by fumigation with sulfurous acid prior to d13C analysis to remove inorganic carbonates. Sediment d15N was determined on unacidified samples. Sediment d13C ratios were referenced to the Vienna PeeDeeBelemnit and d15N ratios were referenced to air.

Vials were capped and sealed to prevent gas exchange. Samples and reference materials with the same geometry were counted for 24 hours in a high purity, low background germanium well detector at the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center. Beryllium-7 activities were counted at 476 kiloelectron volts (keV), Cesium-137 at 661 keV, Lead-210 at 46.5 keV, and Radium-226 as the average of indirect peaks at 351.87 keV (Lead-214) and 609.31 keV (Bismuth-214). Unsupported, or excess, Lead-210 was calculated by subtracting supported Lead-210 (assumed to equal average Radium-226 activity) from total Lead-210. Process_Date: 20191018 Process_Step: Process_Description: MAJOR OXIDES PERCENTAGES AND MAJOR MINOR, AND TRACE ELEMENT CONTENTS: Bulk sediment was oven-dried at 60 degrees Celsius and disaggregated gently with a mortar and pestle to avoid changing grain sizes. Disaggregated sediment was dry sieved through stainless steel sieves to obtain 2 grams of the less than 0.063 millimeter size fraction. Sieved 2-gram samples were sent to the Analytical Chemistry Project of the USGS Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center (CMERSC). Major oxides percentages were determined at CMERSC by wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (WDXRF). Sediment was fused with lithium metaborate/lithium tetraborate flux and the resultant glass disk was irradiated by x-rays tube. For major, minor, and trace element contents, CMERSC contracted AGAT Laboratories, a nationally accredited laboratory, for analyses by two methods: a near-total four-acid digestion and a total digestion with a sodium peroxide fusion for elements hosted in acid-resistant minerals. Quantification was performed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) for major and some minor elements and by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) for some minor and all trace elements.
