Twenty locations were identified along the entire length of LBC, two of its tributaries (Cabin Branch and<\/SPAN><\/P>

Cattail Branch), and reference points in the NEB and NWB for surface water and sediment sampling, in<\/SPAN><\/P>

consultation with MDE\u2019s Water and Science Administration as well as Prince George\u2019s County<\/SPAN><\/P>

Department of the Environment. Samples were collected according to the work plan for this effort.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Sample locations, rationale, and identification are provided in Table 1. Sample locations are shown on<\/SPAN><\/P>

Figure 1. All sampling was conducted on November 20, 2019, by two separate field teams. In the 30 days<\/SPAN><\/P>

prior to sampling, there was significant rainfall (5.72 inches at the rain gage near Beltsville, MD).<\/SPAN><\/P>

However, most of this occurred at the end of October. Between November 2, 2019 and November 20,<\/SPAN><\/P>

2019, only 0.38 inches of rain was recorded at this station. A moderate rainfall occurred on November<\/SPAN><\/P>

19, the day before sampling, with 0.2 inches of rain recorded at nearby weather stations. However,<\/SPAN><\/P>

water velocity and streamflow data from the USGS gage station on LBC indicate that by the time<\/SPAN><\/P>

sampling occurred on November 20, LBC had returned to baseflow conditions, with discharge around 7<\/SPAN><\/P>

cubic feet per second (USGS Gage Station data). <\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "Lower Beaverdam Creek\nPCB Investigation Sediment\nUpdated February 2021\nMaryland Department of the Environment\nLand Restoration Program", "title": "MDE_Sediment_LBC_Data_Nov_2019_Updated", "tags": [], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 150000000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "Elizabeth Green (Retired)\nBenjamin J.
