Sediment and Elutriate Chemistry EDD

As specified in the Regional Implementation Manual (RIM) and individual project Sampling and Analysis Plans (SAPs), all physical and chemical testing data submittals must be transmitted in the EDD formats provided on this website. As of November 2024, new EDD templates are provided for physical/ chemical sediment testing data, and site water/ elutriate testing data. Footnotes are provided within each EDD indicating how to report non-detects and calculate analyte group totals. QA/QC samples and equipment blank results are to be reported in the full laboratory report specified below, not in the EDDs.

Bioaccumulation EDD

The bioaccumulation results spreadsheet is a required submittal for all projects that have bioaccumulation test results. This spreadsheet is used by the EPA risk assessment program to assess long term risk of sediment disposal.
