This dataset represents habitat measurements and fish sampling (https://data.kingcounty.gov/Environment-Waste-Management/Fish-data-for-Juvenile-Pacific-salmonid-habitat-us/hznk-dan4) from the Snoqualmie and Green rivers in the Puget Sound region of Washington State, USA. Using a cataraft mounted with a boat electrofisher, these data were collected between late winter and late spring from 2016 through 2022. Measurements were of 25-m-long transects along six different edge habitat types in the two rivers. The edge habitats represented in this dataset are ‘armored banks’, ‘biorevetment banks’, ‘unarmored banks’, ‘bars’, ‘backwaters’, and ‘side channels’. These data were collected as part of monitoring of eight habitat restoration or bioengineered bank stabilization projects in the Snoqualmie and Green rivers, along with three more general studies of fish-habitat relationships in the two rivers. These data are analyzed and presented in the journal article “Juvenile Pacific salmonid habitat use in two Puget Sound lowland Rivers”, published in the Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (https://afspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/tafs.10457). All data were collected by the King County Water and Land Resources Division, Science and Technical Support Section.

Habitat data were collected during the day and include measurements of the width of low-velocity habitat (≤ 0.45m/s) and water depth along each transect. Fish sampling occurred after darkness fell the evening following habitat data collection. Fish data include the number of each species sampled at each transect and the number of seconds each transect was electrofished.

This is a raw and uncorrected dataset from the surface buoy at the entrance to Penn Cove. This data has not been reviewed or corrected in any manner. It should be used with extreme caution as uncorrected data may lead to misinterpretation. These anomalies occur as a result of naturally occurring phenomena. Corrected data will be available at a future date.

Special time considerations: Date and times have PST timezone applied. Time does not change with daylight savings.

Geography: The mooring is located at Latitude 48.237 and Longitude -122.655

***Disclaimer***
Marine mooring data provided by King County -- including meteorological and water quality data --are preliminary and have not received final approval. Most data are relayed by satellite or other telemetry and may have received little or no review. Inaccuracies in the data may be present because of instrument malfunctions or physical changes at the measurement site. Subsequent review may result in significant revisions to the data.

Data users are cautioned to consider carefully the provisional nature of the information before using it for decisions that concern personal or public safety or the conduct of business that involves substantial monetary or operational consequences.

Public Health – Seattle & King County and the Hazardous Waste Management Program are providing data describing the lead content of consumer products. This data is collected from several sources, including community product testing events, in-home investigations of lead-poisoned children, and products purchased for testing for research projects.

Data are presented using two types of testing methods: product screening using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and laboratory analysis.

Because XRF screening can be conducted without destroying the object to be tested, this method was used to test products that could not be submitted to the laboratory for analysis. Examples of the types of products tested via XRF analysis include keys, jewelry, cookware, dishware, toys, and other essential or valuable items. However, it is important to note that XRF analysis is only a screening method that gives approximate results and may have high detection limits for some products. Although XRF analysis is very useful for identifying products that could contain relatively high lead levels, it cannot be used to compare lead results to regulatory limits or standards.

Laboratory analysis is the “gold standard” for product testing. Laboratory analysis can theoretically achieve detection limits for lead in the part per billion (ppb) range, although the detection limits can be higher if not enough sample is provided for analysis and/or the sample is chemically very complex (causing “matrix interference”). Examples of the types of products tested via laboratory analysis include seasonings, cosmetics, candy, dietary supplements, and other items that can be destroyed for analysis. Laboratory results can be used to compare lead concentrations to regulatory limits or standards. Laboratory methods used to analyze consumer products for lead content include graphite furnace atomic absorption (GFAA), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES).

Technical notes:

• Regardless of the method used, the lead concentrations are provided in parts per million (ppm). One part per million is equivalent to 0.0001 percent. One percent is 10,000 ppm.
  


• See the Lead Limits for Consumer Products table below for how we compared the lead concentrations in the tested products to acceptable limits.
  


• Every testing method has limitations in the smallest amount of lead that can be detected in a product. For the XRF analyzer, the instrument’s limit of detection (or LOD) varies depending on the sample’s chemical composition, shininess, curvature, positioning, and operator factors.
  


• For laboratory analysis, the relevant detection limit – the limit of quantitation (or LOQ) - can also vary, depending on the chemical complexity of the sample, the amount of sample collected, how the sample is prepared, and how it is analyzed.
  


• Therefore, where results are presented with the &quot<&quot (less than) symbol, it means the lead concentration is some number less than the reported value (i.e., the LOD or LOQ). It is not possible to compare results presented as below the LOQ or LOD to lead limits. For some research projects, the median XRF result may also be represented with a qualifier if more than 50% of the measurements were below the LOD.
  


• For research projects, the XRF value presented is the median of all measurements taken on the product. For all other data sources, the XRF value presented is the maximum of all measurements taken.
  

Disclaimer:
Staff collect information as it appears on product labels or as reported to staff during community events and investigations. Factors such as language barriers and terminology variations may result in misspelling and mislabeling of some products. The amount of lead found in a consumer product can also vary greatly because of variation

A vanpool is a group of 5-15 people who share a similar commute. The group enjoys a low monthly fare and comfortable commute in a van that seats 7, 12, or 15 passengers. Each group needs at least two volunteer drivers and one volunteer bookkeeper to assist in maintaining the vehicle and completing monthly reports.
