Abstract
This report presents data on sediment chemical contaminant concentrations in the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries collected between 1984 and 1991. The majority of this data collection was coordinated by Maryland and Virginia with support from the Chesapeake Bay Program. The primary objectives of this report are to describe the spatial patterns in the distribution of sediment chemical contaminants in Chesapeake Bay to sediment quality guidelines in order to identify areas where sediment chemical contaminants may adversely impact aquatic biota.
